Yes it is ambrosia rice pot 120g or sada oats 56p.HTH:A

I tried glitching the 2 for 1 shaving gel at T but didn't work. Now I have another idea about the gel. Am I right in thinking that the glitch price is worked out by the price of the cheapest item in A?

One of the gillette gels in the offer at T is only £1 in A, possibly this will glitch and make any 2 for 1 shaving gels in the offer at T 50p.

Hi all,

Regarding



and



Can you tell me how come the gel wasn't needed as the trigger on the first shop of the two please?

They have bought smart price conditioner which also works as a trigger.

Morning all.

The cove is RED

Went to bed last night with a very heavy heart. All pilot whales and dolphins caught in Taiji the other day have been killed. The pilot whale that had the baby with her became so ill they killed her also. This means the poor baby will have a long agonizing death with no mother to feed from.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

As of 6.12am another pod of dolphins are being driven into the cove. Will this never end.:(

I am very sorry if this post upsets anyone, but this situation needs to stay in the lime light.

No that is shocking so sad

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:)

And long may it continue.:D

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

Hi

Would you be able to hint a bit more about your areas of expertise/inside knowledge, because I am really interested and fascinated about why this hasn't been fixed (as I am sure are many many others) - not that I want it to be

I don't see a problem with Asda's prices - in fact, one thing I have learned throughout all this is that A is often much cheaper than it's competitors. Take the cereal glitch, the base price of a lot of their cereals is much lower. The problem seems to be the writing of the code for a third party contracted service, and I am astonished that A hasn't forced the issue because price integrity is a lynch pin in the supermarket wars. OK, we are benefitting from lower "artificial" comparison prices, but if the system is so comprehensively effed, then that pulls a lot of doubt as to whether they are comparing unfavourably upward.

Can't understand why they would leave the integrity of their pricing comparisons open to question - msm is a massive data management company and they seem to be getting it very wrong. Or has A taken the msm data themselves and somehow cocked things up their end?
