The only reason a glitch is stopped is when people take the p@$$. Can people not learn from the DTD claims. I got trouted big style by Mr. A. Got taken into the security office and still photos of myself were produced of every purchase I had made that week. They thought I was printing my own made apg vouchers, to any value. But I was given this warning. If YOU find a glitch-no problem, but if you do a second, third etc similar shop this is classed as 'going with the intention of defrauding the shop'.0

Agree, it's best not to draw attention to the glitch so most on here will simply take it on the chin if it goes wrong or we get caught out when it finishes.
I did it twice with the Don Simonsbut hey ho...win some lose some.
All I would suggest to anyone who really can't afford to lose that kind of money is to wait a couple of weeks, by which time the glitch will in all probability have ended, and return them then.
I always think with these glitches if you can't afford to take the hit, then don't do it. If it works it is a bonus. There will be those that say they can't afford it though, without the glitch. I have to say though if you can't afford expensive haircare then use the smartprice. I'd love a big flash car but can't afford it so I don't have one. Life is unfair, tough!
No, I was surprised how many posts advocated taking things back earlier today. It just doesn't sit easy with me. Probably because I see glitches as a bonus, not a right.If I had a pound for every pound I'd lost, I'd be confused0 -

As above the glitches are only really stopped when people take the P1$$. Asda will look for patterns and look at why they are selling such a large amount of a product that is not on offer.0 -

Now... I have looked on an APG voucher and it shows the store, date, time and transaction number, so surely they don't need the receipt to check high APG's anyway?
Secondly, and i really don't want to start an argument here, but those here who buy the wrong stuff and say about taking it back, I hope you don't. This is a fab glitch as have been many others. The saying 'you win some, you lose some' applies here.
We win loads, so when we lose one we should just accept it and move on, surely? Taking stuff like shampoo etc back to me is flagging yourself up in lights and is really unneccesary. Surely it is just greedy too? We can all do really well out of this, I have stuffed up twice now buying the wrong choc and wrong cheap shampoo, but I was buying stuff I would use anyway. If you are using stuff you use then you are purely taking it back because its not been had for pennies? Greed. Do another shop, get it right, do another, get it right.... move on.
If not buying stuff you will use then why buy it?
Like I say, I am really looking to canvass views here, not start an argument. The views above are simply mine, yours may differ. I'm sure we can have a discussion about it without anyone throwing their toys out of the pram?
Got my APG back last night - Milky Way stars compared at full price (£2.09). Never mind.
i agree Chrisno arguments from me!
The first bit about why would they check the APG....think it would be so they can actually see what is generating the high value. Yes, they can see all products bought on the reciept - but this wont tell them which item(s) are glitching and therefore generating such a high value! Most SA's wont be bothered, but those that are might want to check to see why its so high so that they can either benefit from it themselves or report the glitch and get it stoppedhoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!0 -
Am deciding if I should go today :cool: might be easier on the nerves if the shop is busier :rotfl::rotfl:
Hi, if you feel OK enough to go out, I would recommend going out today if you can. There is an A/MSM update, I think overnight Sun/Mon, and strange things seem to happen to comparisons on Mondays. I generally avoid making APG shops on a Monday because it can be unpredictable.0 -
The red and the rose compare, the white doesn't.
Think the red works out to around 95p and the rose, around 75p.
Both are quite strong, 13.5%. Of the two, I prefer the rose, but it's still quite acidic. Red would be lovely as mulled wine, or, to add to cooking.
I did a bit of checking back:D
Is this the red and rose I need:
Vina Albali Smooth Red Tempranillo (750ml
Vina Albali Rosado Tempranillo (750ml)
I assume I buy 3 wine in 1 shop to get the APG.0 -
Dallaglio Pasta Sauce - Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil - Tricolore (300g) 49p (normally £1.99ish) T3sco's. Has a white sel with the * on it so I'm assuming they wont be selling it for much longer.

It's always disappointing when someone refuses to try someone based on assumptions etc. My sister hates lamb "because it's a fatty meat" but that is all down to the cut and how to cook it! My biggest pet peeve is "I don't like veggies"... any veggies.. I expect that from young kids but not adults :rotfl:
I'm thankful to have some amazing friends who are excited when I have new foods to offer. I've made authentic (as I can find) pulled beef burritos to char sui buns, all from scratch and a lot of research went into finding information.
Anyway! I shall get on with putting this recipe together for you! Not a great pic but this is the kokkinisto.
Table setting for burritos! Home made salsa, ranch, spanish rice and pulled beef.. The flour tortillas on this occasion were shop bought but I had made some previous, they where a bit small for this huge meal ha ha.
I hope I've made some of you hungry haha! Sorry if there images are a big large for the message boardEDIT: Oh yeah the board auto sizes. phew!
Mmmmmmmmm.
Hope you saved me some;):A Every moment is a gift. That's why we call it the present.!:A
