I think it's a case of incorrect tagging, but found this insane deal at my local woolworths today.

I shop for these for my girlfriend. Either amazing price or amazing price error. I think it's the former though. They redesigned the packaging, not surprised if most people didn't realise and have been buying other brands (hell, even my girlfriend didn't realise). Thus the pricing now.
Also, best off putting the store in your title. Here is a good title:
[Woolworths] Libra Pads 3 for $3.99 (Save $14.31)
Cheers for the tip
Agreed. OP, Please Make Sure you title threads like this in the future.
Lol the title is fine who cares
People don't think about the best way to construct subject lines, not at all. (Yours is excellent.)
Bloody ripper of an offer
website shows buy 2 get 3rd free

Bloody
XD
That would be an insane deal if it was correct, but as you say, I suspect it's a case of incorrect tagging. The Woolworths website shows a "buy 2 add the third free" offer on several of the Libra products, and adding 3 to the basket comes out the correct price under that offer or as full price for items not displaying the offer next to them, so I think someone's got their wires crossed - unless it's an in-store only offer? I'll have a look at our local Woolies tomorrow morning and see if they have the same tags.
That's what I found - the catalogue says buy 2 get the third free and that's what it scans up at when taken to the checkout.
I popped in to three different woolworths stores today and they all had this tagging. So I stocked up (about to have a baby and their maternity pads are included) and they gave me the first for free as it scanned incorrectly then discounted so they were three for $3.99
Well technically what woolies did to 'fix' the incorrect pricing is even wrong!
They should have given you all three for 'free' as the deal scanned wrong.
The pricing was "Any 3 for $3.99" aka $1.33 each.
So if it scanned wrong, they should have given you the first three for 'free' and the next 3 your brought at $3.99 or $1.33 packet.
Nope.
"Where multiple items bearing identical bar codes, or the same PLU number, are scanned and the scanned price is higher that the shelf price, the customer is entitled to receive the first item free of charge and the remaining items at the lower price (that is, the shelf price)."
Interesting you mentioned that. Two of the three stores gave me one packet for free, whereas the third store gave me three packets for free.
That only applies if the item was say listed as $2.99 and scanned at $5.00 and you wanted to buy 4 of them.
If it scanned incorrectly, you would get the first one for free, the rest at the right price.
So as per your quote, the "Shelf price" for this deal was "3 for $3.99" technically what you're buying is the 3 items for $3.99 hence all three should be free if it scanned wrong.
Also giving you one free and the rest for $3.99 doesn't make sense either, as the 'single' price would be $1.33 each for this deal :/
PS thanks to whoever the neg was for… really!?
@Level380:
I can understand your point, but with the wording used in the scanning code I think it could be up to interpretation by the store. It says the first "item" free, which to me is one product.I upvoted you to even it out again, no idea why someone would downvote you, it's a valid point u_u
It classifies shelf price like this:
"The Shelf Label or Shelf Price Label means the sign or label showing the price of individual items at the place where the product is displayed for sale to the customer." I mean.. it doesn't even show the individual price, just the price per pad, and it's not like they're gonna give you 1 pad for free haha.
@Lunawinter: haha yes you don't want 'one pad' for free!
Its a interesting issue, as the "Shelf Price Label" in this case is saying "3 for $3.99" so you could push the point.
Anyhow, sounds like you cleaned up well and got a nice cheap stock pile happening there!
PS thanks for levelling it out and enjoy sleep now while you can before the baby arrives!!!
Hopefully your local woolworths has that tagging and you can grab a bargain too
I hope so! As long as the deal doesn't get Ozbargained to death first and Woolies then realises their mistake LOL. Good score by the way, getting them at that price - well done!
This is best deal ever. PERIOD.
26 positives so far and u forgot to write "the", wear two pads at once to cater for the leakage
Eh?
Deal hard to come by.
Wish this comes every month.And your username includes mop. lol.
Sorry to state the bleeding obvious but this is a clear error. Stock up while you can before this deal is ova.
Wow, I thought Pendo Pads were cheap. Libra Pads are BLOODY cheaper!
Way more comfortable too.
Aunty Flo will be pleased.
Didn't she visit just last month already?
Goddamit I hope she did :|
Better look for some Ansell deals…
Q: What brand of pads did they use in Ancient Greece?
A: Absorba the Leak.
Um let me just buy a lifetime supply at that price. Not even kidding. lol

Damnit it's put my reply against the wrong comment twice, if only there was a delete option

Soak up the savings
Anyone found this in NSW?
Yep, this afternoon.
Where?
I was not able to successfully get the deal at Woolworths Surry Hills NSW they have the tags 3 for $3.99 but scanned up as 2x$6.10 and 1 free, here is the pic i snapped sorry i had to edit out a hand that got in the way.
Try your luck if you can be bothered to as they havent pulled down the tags even when i went the next day.
much cheaper than Apple's Pads
Still has GST included…. Grrrr.
:(
Thanks, the car needs a new set of pads!
Your car menstruates once a month?
Isn't Bendix good enough?
:O
Not at all, just trying to bleed another joke…
On an off topic issue. I used to have generic brake pads on my camry, once i got Bendix, there has been nothign but squealing and screeching and i paid more to get these brand name ones on. Is this normal? Its been like this for 6 months now.
Can you indicate what are your local stores pls?
And that warrants a neg vote?
Wow.
my bad, but found it really annoying when it happened to omit this important information. Plus, I checked my local store, no good.
Wow will be popping in to Woolies first thing tomorrow morning to grab this bargain if still available!
So the deal is only avaliable if your store has the incorrect tags and they have to change the price for you? Deal won't just scan up?
Seems like it
I'm pretty sure it's from the Mt Waverley Woolworths store, I took the tickets down today after they didn't scan properly.
It wasn't Mount Waverley but does this mean it was incorrect tagging and not a real deal? Bloody good deal if it's real.
Most likely an error, but all I do is stock the shelves so I honestly don't know the legitimacy of every deal there is in the store haha.
Where was it then? Just curious. If the location is a sort of fatal secret, then let's forget it then.
Bloody good deal
I see what you did there…
Well spotted.
I like how the women on this thread have synchronised their responses.

Best deal all month!
Regional VIC has this special. Just picked up ~20 packs for $7!!!!!
Wow. will last many months to come.
Sqeeksqweek, perhaps you can change your name to Squelchsquelch.
Haha. Sqeeksqeek comes from the sound a tightarse makes when walking.
And it's for the wife, lol, but when it's all the same money it matters!
my thought was "how am I going to do with the packs if she says "no" and she is not going to use them".
I can't wait for news of this to leak to head office. Someone will have to absorb some punishment. Whoever let this deal through is deserving of a standing ovulation. His/her carefree boss must be almost going menstrual dealing with the flow-on effects of such a mistake. I heard these deals are best obtained through a self-cervix checkout
Score!
I don't need these, but sometimes I go through painful periods.
*dup
An artist made a sculpture out of these and called it "Downton Abbey".
It was a period pieceanyone found this deal in nsw?
Why did the professor keep a tampon behind his ear?
Why?
To remind him of the c*** who stole his pencil.
Oh no…
Woolies Fitzroy had this ticketed as such, but it didn't scan correctly - scanned as buy two, get one free - and utterly incompetent staff meant I just walked out. With a beautiful new Coles almost directly over the road, combined with the new (and frequently broken) new ticketing system Woolies has, and the self-serve checkouts that have become horrendously slow since the latest software patch a few months ago, and the fequently clueless staff, there's no real reason to go there any more.
I just bought my wife 3 maternity packs but if they work for butt leakage I might use them myself
Been to a couple of stores here in Perth this morning and noi luck, the tags on the shelves are only for the "buy 2 get the third free" offer. From the posts of those who have found this tagging/price error in-store, it sounds like it might only be happening in Victoria?
+NSW. When I visited NSW this afternoon there were half the tickets with 3 for 2 offer and half with 3 for $3.99.
Got a pack from my local. They taste bloody awful. Dunno what the fuss is all about.
You're doing it wrong.
Thanks heaps; this will definitely come in handy for the coming National Foundation Day. Japanese patriots unite!
Most relevant thread comment ever
I'm rapidly getting sick of the same recycled puns over and over again.
Every time there's a deal about condoms or pads, the same tripe seems to make it's way:
Tampons/Pads: Bloody ripper, best deal period, soak up savings, etc
Condoms: Best bang for the buck, A blow-out deal, etcThis is like a child who's just learnt that novelty of the "Knock-Knock" jokes and constantly parrots it around school. Get over it
Lighten up dude. Go with the flow.
lol..that actually made me laugh
The older I get the more I want to be a kid again..! Would save money on pads too
I prefer tampons for jiny
Is jiny your pet snatch? :)
Your shocking!! x
over a week now, has the deal finished yet or still flowing?
The promo period isn't over; think it runs for a week…
Which store was this?
