    Peanut M&Ms, Galaxy Counters and Maltesers all work out att an equivalent price of 31p per pack so long as you buy in multiples of 2 and your shop is targeted against T

    The Magic Stars don't work so favourably against T because they are selling at £2.09 a pack. You will only get back 42p per 2 packs against T.

    Nerfdad says you get the best return on the Magic Stars against Morries but I just realised they didn't actually say what the return was

    Morning all.
    I got Majic stars,galaxy counters and maltesers all work out ar 31p a pack in a Asda V Morries shop.

    Off to Drayton Mannor today so good luck everyone.
  • Can we have a glitch on printers please? Really want to get the chocs and wine, but no printer at home! Think I'm going to have to make a few house calls to friends and family this weekend...

    Morning all re above Maltesers If asdas are £4,18 and Tescos are £2.00 am I right in saying that Asdas will give you back £2.18 on condition that you meet the terms and conditions So I say to myself why dont I just buy them in Tescos at £2.00 and forget about the 18p I would have saved

    You dont get back £2.18, you get back £2.38 because A beats T by 10%

    And you don't pay £4.18 for any of them. You only pay £3 because they are on multibuy offer. THE APG checker doesn't seem to recognise that though

    So spend £3, get £2.38 back = 62p for 2 bags of sweets

    4 bags of these sweets entitles you to a free cinema ticket on a Sunday at selected cinemas

    Ah, well, you see, you are actually charged only £3 per 2 pouches, as there is an offer on in A's at the moment. However, for the purpose of the APG, their price checker omits the offer price, and compares instead, at the full price per pouch.

    SO you pay £3, APG thinks you've paid £4.18, compares to T's at £2, and give you £2.18 back. But you only paid £3 initially, total cost, 41p per pouch.

    I think you need a coffee because the Galaxy, and Maltesers worked out at 34p a bag in Morries for me :rotfl:

    The peanut M&Ms also worked out at 34p a bag in Morries

    So buy Magic Stars, Maltesers, Counters and Peanut M&Ms and you've got 4 of your 8 required items right there for an A vs Morries shop

    Or buy Maltesers, Counters, Peanut M&Ms and the wine if you are doing an A vs T shop

    How long will this last I wonder?
