I thought we'd have had shutdown by now! I wonder if their big wigs are regretting laughing at Tesco 18 months ago

I think we are all realising that this glitch is huge and an inherent part of the way Asda compare prices ie mysupermarket.

I don't think it can be "fixed"as such without a total change from Asda's current pricing strategy- and they are still pumping a shed load of money into advertising their extra 10% off. They are caught in a very difficult position:)

No wonder I can't keep up with you all. :eek:

I am going to have to give everyone a big thank you for all the info and help being posted. I'm sorry I just have not got the time to thank you all individually.

I won't be around tomorrow, Mr Tinyshoes has arranged a BBQ and invited more people than I realised and 40 people have accepted the invite!! :eek: I know we have a few bottles of wine and packs of Bavaria to use up and lots of whoopsied meat in the freezer some of of it was even free due to the multibuy kicking in at Ts even though reduced. But it will break my heart to see big dents in my stash. I think he is trying to reclaim some of the house I have taken over. And I know the freezers really do need defrosting.

Take care everyone. :A

Hello Tinyshoes, a BBQ sounds a great idea. I feel normal life has been put on hold a bit lately with all of this glitching. It's making me feel I should be spending a bit more quality time with friends instead of rushing around shopping. Hope you have abrill day:)

I have somewhat inside knowledge on this, and you're totally correct. Anyone worried about the glitch ending, do not worry too much, The amount lost from us guys purposefully exploiting it is hardly anything compared to their income/profit, it's quite unlikely they will even notice the amount that's being hit on this

Oh thanks!!! I thought the trigger had to be related in that product line for some reason! I.e. my first shop last night was fir cereal bars and I thought the specific trigger for cereals was ambrosia!! haha ah well it's all about learning

I'm not being hard on them henlans, I'm trying to help them by advising them to spend more time planning their shops so they don't mess up so much.

I know its easy to make mistakes with this, but that's all the more reason for them to read the thread and research what's what?

Personally I wouldn't buy the stuff in the first place if i couldnt afford to take the loss if it didn't work? I won't be taking anything back if I mess up.

Hello MM,
I too would advise newbies to take their time. Grab a notebook and pen, make a cup of tea and sit and read through as much as they can. There is so much detail in this glitch that the knowledge base you need is huge. And really you don't want simply to be copying someone else's list which might comprise things you don't really want, you want to be compiling your own.

Good luck everyone but have patience. Making mistakes is part of the learning process:)
