    My attempt at an apg - all comments / tips welcome lol. I have 2 apgs to spend totalling £12. I assume I can use both on 1 shop.

    Asda!Vs tesco
    Diet coke 2 litres x 10
    Milk!
    bread
    Banana
    Orange juice with bits x 2
    Nestl! munchies pouch
    doctor pepper zero
    Fanta zero

    Yep you can use both APG's I'd also be tempted to chuck in a couple of cans of smart price stuff just to make sure it all compares :beer:

    This is my best day for wombling and glitch finds EVER!!!! Has anyone ever found 4 glitches in one evening????? :j:j

    I just got a £9.xx wombled APG (I'm over £35 for the day now) and it has another glitch on it :beer::beer::beer:

    Barrs Irn Bru is £1.68, or 3 for £3 in As

    APG is comparing each bottle at £1.68 in As and not the £1 charged

    Its comparing £5.04 in A to £3.75 for 3 bottles in Ts
    Its comparing £5.04 in A to £3.69 for 3 bottles in Ss
    Its comparing £5.04 in A to £3.00 for 3 bottles in Ms

    So Ms is the best deal because less the 10% guarantee it is comparing £5.04 to £2.70 so you get £2.34 back from a £3 spend. Thats 66p for 6 litres of Irn Bru!!! :j:beer:

    So if you are planning an APG against T or S or M you should consider adding any variety of Coke to your shop in multiples of 2 and Irn Bru in multiples of 3

    Sorry its not quite as good as the OJ deal but its not bad is it?


    :T

    You are awesome, dude!:A

    This is what is confusing me, I thought 8 items had to compare but it was posted last night and this morning that only 1 item needs to compare - confused.com

    Have a good day everyone..
    Great emoticons - think I'm stealing these! :D
    Oh I agree, too much "inner goddess" and thinking about doing things but taking ages to get on with it. It reminded me of Twilight even before I found out it was a fanfic. (oh why did the agreement thing need to be repeated in full several times? Maybe to fill out the pages a bit, but that's just me)
    I disagree entirely but that is what makes it good. Each person has a different angle on it. The one great thing it has done has opened up the Ann Summers effect further. I went into an adult shop for some produce the other day and many were in there looking at 50-shades objects. I'm not sure they'd've had the confidence before. This can only be a good thing for people :D

    Just checked and the coke is now showing on msm on offer at 2 for £2.50 at A so dont think this will work now! But will be happy to be proved wrong :rotfl::rotfl:
    Shows as £1.99 on mine. Going to try 10 bottles shortly.

    Do you happen to know if you can get 2 different prescriptions for that price or do they have to be the same? [...]
    I always use these online deals for glasses. The two perscriptions can be different. HTH. :A
    I am sure amongst us we could make some sore of spreadsheet like in the good old DTD days to make this possible :D
    Whilst we could do this, I'm not too sure it's a good idea. It just makes it so obvious to Mr A employees. Now that many of us are targeting Mr A, they will have to start looking into it. However, I am all for sharing every find for the good of this site/thread. :A
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.

    Only 1 item needs to compare. You do, however, have to buy 8 grocerie items (so don't buy cloths, car stuff, dog toys etc). :money:
