£5 off isn't always a saving.
I received an email from Greene King Pubs offering me £5 off my bill as long as I spent £15 or more on food and/or drinks by 29th February 2024. The menu in my local Greene King Pub showed that 2 pub classics were offered at a cost of £12.49. My total bill for 2 pub classics, side salad and drinks came to £22.35. When I queried the bill I was told that, because I had used the £5 off discount, the 2 pub classics had been charged at their full price (a total of £19.28). So, by using a £5 discount offer, I had paid £1.79 more for the meals than if I hadn't used it. The woman who served me explained that only one discount was allowed. I asked her to please remove the discount and she returned £1.79 to me. I will be careful when offered a "saving" by Greene King in future.
