would you expect to be able to buy one
Pastrami and one roast beef from this same range of cooked meats, for a
total of £3?

Not without the word "any" appearing.

That's the Morrisons scheme, yes. But ASDA would automatically include
similar items.

Happened to be in the CoOp today, and it's worse than I thought.

For example, Unsmoked Bacon in a packet marked "2 for £4", which seems
to mean "two of *these* for £4".

Next to it, Smoked Bacon marked "Any 2 £4", and mentioning it was a
bacon offer, but no other bacon similarly marked that it might be
combined with.

And nearby some Beefburgers "Any 2 £4" with small print saying it was
restricted to "any burgers", although again only one type was available.

And round the other side some Chicken marked "Mix & Match Any 3 for £10"
with a nearby shelf label listing at least half a dozen items, all of
which had the same sticker. [It was this one that they messed up before,
the till falsely claiming that red and white meat, which were both
listed, couldn't be mixed.]
