    Fantastic spot :j

    The John Freida is 3 for 2 at W's ....so I think it would also compare to the toilet gel and cream cleaner!

    Of course a lot of the items on the 3 for 2 are probably ones we could get for 10p for comparing against T's .... but it's still useful to add to a W's shop.

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/waitrose/bundle/602115_23090.html

    Agreed :beer:

    JF is 3for2 in W and it is glitching at the 3for2 average cost of the 1litre Robinsons promo

    The logic if anyone cares/wants to check: £1.39 for 1 Robinsons means £2.78 for 2, on 3f2 that means 3 bottles are also £2.78 in W, therefore individually the 3 bottles are 92.67p each which the system recognises as 1 being 92p and the other 2 being 93p each. That is why the multiples of 3 glitched items on the comparison will show twice as many 93ps as 92ps (how many of you have I lost?) :p

    Do you no longer need the small bottle of robinsons then? TIA :)

    Nope, looks like A's own toilet cleaner does the same job ;)

    (theres an advertising slogan that Robinsons will never adopt!! :eek::rotfl:)

    Not me!!:T

    I wonder - will this work with any of the 3 for 2 promo's from Waitrose? There are quite a few of them...as long as you ended up with multiples of 3 items all on 3 for 2 surely it would work?

    No where near as good as the 10p stuff but it could help a few!

    EDIT - just noticed someone mentioned Iams at 3 for 2 in W's - I may try this tomorrow with some cheaper items all on 3 for 2 in W's and use my wombled APG to pay!

    And get lots of glitches!

    Thank you, glad to know my brain is still ticking over, even after a long late shift!

    It's a shame it's mostly the same hair stuff as the T's glitch, would have been better to find something totally new. :D

    I did delete a few n/a's for "security" :D but the only items in red are the robinsons and the JF BUT - I think I have worked it out!:eek:

    On Mr W site the Robinsons and JF are both 3 for 2 cheapest item free. The 1 litre Robinsons are £1.39 so if they are glitching together then that would make the compared price around the 93p - ish?

    The item total comes to 6 too which is the magic number but shows why the 4 shampoos are comparing cheaply when it's usually 3.

    So do we think they are glitching together? It's a strange combination but it could be useful if you want to do an A v W shop with shampoo...

    I'm helping with another glitch assessment right now (see here) that shows Robinsons glitching in W with the cleaning products too :eek:

    2x1.75l apple and blackcurrant has been seen to glitch at 53/54p with A's own toilet cleaner as cheapo item!

    The real question now is....if you buy JF, cleaning AND Robinsons in overall mulitple of 3 and include 1 cheapo cleaning item, is it possible to get ALL these items comparing at 53/54p in W?

    Evening Elite

    Went to 2 SADA's tonight and some !!!!er has nicked all the SP Conditioner and 99p Nivea....:rotfl:

    OH likes the WHITE Albali so bought 3 bottles and used up a £7 APG from the other day (too many coupons....)

    Did a second shop and did another Albali (1 rose, 2 red) results n/a till 1am so will update tomorrow.

    Happy with tonights shop although a bit worried how I'm gonna spend the £15 one... should I generate another APG or close that one down? - Tempted to do a large poo, maybe 2/3 dyes and the Neutrogena x2 but think this could give me a £20+ back... not sure thats a good idea.

    Thoughts....

    If that logic works Aau then you could just find the cheapest item available on any 3 for 2 and use that...some experimentation is needed - I'm beginning to think that this may be a bit more use than I originally thought - time will tell I suppose!

    I want to know if actually ALL the 3 for 2 items work therefore the only trigger needed would be the cheapest possible thing on a 3 for 2...
