    It's been mentioned a few times that these glitches are going to be stopped soon and that As are losing millions etc.

    Then why is it that 3 or 4 times (not everytime) I've had an APG over £10 it is met with amazement and "That can't be right""We'll have to check it""Come with me"???:D

    Surely they must be seeing loads of these APGs?
  • Hello everyone
    Well after moaning that I was lonely as there was no asda within 20 miles of me, DD and I decided to take the trip together and do 2 shops each today. We'll do another trip mid week to redeem the vouchers. It's worth it if we do it together and do more than one shop each.

    Not bad for a beginner eh?

    Just a couple of questions for you experts. If you have to have 8 comparable items do the glitch items count towards the 8 or do you need 8 more items? Also if it says N/A then I assume it doesn't count towards the 8 items?

    One more thing....has anyone had much success doing this online. I was thinking it would avoid facing a trouty SA if i generated a large voucher!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Anyone starting to feel sorry Asda?
    I looked hugely guilty when the sa said that each store was taking the hit which will affect their bonus! Hubby said rubbish :o

    it will affect there bonus but how much will it really dent there profits
  • Thanks redfraggle, I was wondering if this was still working as those pizza's are much nicer than their cheap alternatives. And ice cream makes a great bribe :D

    And Aussie does not compare against W's it compares against T's, or at least the ones I did today did
    Happy to be corrected once again, but this says differently.

    Hi

    Hope you don't mind, but was wondering if I could please make an important request for the very very helpful folk who post wombles? Think we need to get in the habit of including any discounts that appear on the bottom of the receipt too, as I am sure we are missing some more glitches because we are not always looking at the comparison price against the actual price paid. I think the whole multibuy thing is effed on msm - some of the best glitches are where the multibuy discount which comes off the bottom of the receipt is not included for the comparison :)

    great idea.....also, if people have the time, dont just check the result on the cheapest supermarket on the apg...check ALL supermarkets as this could identify a glitch even though the other shopping isnt the cheapest!! :D

    C'mon glitch apg fairy would like some sausage, chops and bacon next, pls.

    hmmmmm catching up so not sure if any other glitch fairy has replied....but sausages are on 342 at W :D £1.19 each.. A is £1 each...also in the 'same' 342 offer that compare to A are.. 320g fruit salad, 250g cheese slices, tiramisu duo pots, profiteroles, pork pies, sausage rolls and coleslaw...
    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/waitrose/bundle/606339_41069.html

    offer ends 18th Sept so if Calmspirits theory is right these wont glitch with the current offers :( but will still glitch on their own :D
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    oh for goodness sakes just went to do my apg and it says its down for maintenance :(:(
    You can't make someone love you. All you can do is
    stalk them & hope they panic & give in

    God created men first, cause you always makes a rough draft before a masterpiece!
  • after not meeting any friends of martin i have this week joined a fellow wombler ..... very smartly suited and booted collecting for his 'children' as they like putting them in the checker....( yer right:D)


    and i have on a number of occasions over the last few days bumped into a nice lady and helped a little (and hindered im sure) with her shopping in MR A.

    HELLO fellow shopper NEAR HOOK! :T:T:T

    I hope i see you again soon. :beer:

    do i dare say maybe next week :eek::eek: we can but hope.

    Please i have read a few pages but still dont understand it i know yoy have to put the till numbers etc on asda website and then they give you a voucher if you qualify but just dont get what things you have to keep


    When you say keep, do you mean buy?

    If so then have a read of the thread. We can't tell you what to buy, that's up to you. lots of stuff is glitching, just take your pick.
    Start at post 1 there's lots of advice there.:)

    It's only a game
    ~*~*~ We're only here to dream ~*~*~
  • Not in the slightest. Wal mart is a huge mutli billion dollar company.

    Oh dear hubby is right for the second time tonight :eek:
    Thank you

    When I was questioned today the supervisor rang someone and held her hand over her face as she was speaking. She then consulted sheets and sheets of paper before briefing the sa who said it is a glitch in their system which they were meant to be fixing since last Saturday. It seemed to me as those the super had been briefed on the problem.
