Last week’s sale on Chocolate Peanut Butter was indeed rather crazy. In all we sold just under 200 week packs as part of the sale. The only thing that’s more crazy than discounting Peanut Butter is discounting Rich Chocolate, so that’s what we’re doing. Rich Chocolate is the most popular flavor we sell, by far. Back in March I ran the numbers and it accounted for 22% of our sales. Should be interesting =)
15% Sale on Rich Chocolate (all sizes)

Does the build a month by adding 4 for 5% off no longer work on discounted items? I tried using it on rich chocolate and it isn’t taking anything off.
It works. Rich Chocolate is supposed to be $65 each week, right now if you add 3 of them to a cart it comes up as $55.25 each (65 * .085). You change the quantity to 4 (or add one of another flavor) and the price each goes down to $52.49 (55.25 * 0.95).
But you have a 15% off right now on them so the price for 1 is 55.25. The additional 5% for 4 or more would be 52.49. This price actually shows up if you do a quality of 2 but not 4.
Edit: It ended up coming up even less when I added 8 total weeks. Not sure why but works for me!
