But APG says it only needs ONE comparable item? Asked this just now and nobody has explained! I am mighty confused.

I've found if I get 8 items 7 plus the one I want to compare its come back not enough so I now buy 8 min plus the one I'm targeting

Think those might be your problem items.

Thank you both for your help. I will learn from my mistakes and not bother taking them back. I have enough Plenty to make up for it ;)

That's OK. It doesn't help that I changed it lately

I'm going back to A's later to try and find these dispensers that I msised!!

The dispensers are 50p in my tesco, not sure if I've missed something? Anyway it was another item to make up the 8!
APG received for my sauce 3.30pm.

I don't do APG because A's is too far away, but I think some products tend to not show up in the results at all so they then don't count as one of the eight. As far as I know, this is why people buy more than eight, just in case A's 'ignore' one or two altogether. hth

Just looking into that myself. This from APG website

'You can compare any qualifying basket or trolley of food grocery products you've bought at our stores or online as long as there are at least 8 different items, of which at least 1 should be comparable.' So in theory you can purchase the ketchup and any 7 other items and it should work......however looking at the replies on here I'm guessing this is not the case as some people are saying they receipt doesn't qualify as you do NOT have 8 items.
Doesn't really make sense to me sorry.

Thanks for the reply. Hoping that someone 'in the know' comes along soon to explain. I am quite worried now as I bought about 10 items in my shop today but didn't worry about comparables as I had wine and ketchup thus had two and assumed from their terms you only need one.....?!
