    No asda for me all weekend :j


    Taking my friend there tomorrow though :D

    Gonna do a poo shop as long as its still going, and a mixed cereal/bar shop as well as a coke shop

    I'm glad I gave it a miss this weekend, it reminded me that I do still have a life away from A's and just how much this has taken over my life recently :eek:
    I'm sure the poo shop finishes tomorrow. Maybe as with whats happened with the heinz baby food changing early on msm it would be worth checking first:o

    Is the kiwi shoe polish a stand alone or part of a glitch to be bought with other things?

    Wondered whether it should be added to your very helpful compilation

    Many thanks for your list :j

    No idea about shoe polish sorry. I know there's a kiwi shoe polish on the 3 for 2 household in Waitrose so I would assume it's part of that glitch but don't quote me! :cool:

    Ok so how many of us walk round A's and count our 10 items that we're going to put through at least twice?? I know I do and when I'm doing a few shops in one go have a basket in the trolley as a divider and pick up 2 flumps, 2 white mice,2 tins of spaghetti etc;):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:In fact its just a did giveaway to any mse'er:)

    I'm glad it's not just me that does that, people must think I'm crackers, counting items, couting multiples, making sure each shop is separated correctly - honestly, all this shopping for other people is a nightmare....

    Do you think the rise in sales of Ambrosia in A's lately is going to be attributed to this?

    I wonder if the guy who booked the advertising is patting himself on the back saying "my adverts are really effective" :rotfl:

    i have a chuckle to myself every time I push one of these trolleys around the store

    He'll prob get promoted :rotfl:

    But we could be shopping for friends etc

    I don't care if they have my postcode, I spend plenty of my hard earned cash there anyway - shopped there for years above Tacto and since Tacto stopped their double cc points and accepting comp MOCs I barely go in. I simply don't want my data being sold on or fed back to the manufacturers for targeted marketing - get enough carp through my real and virtual inbox as it is.

    I might be wrong but I don't think their is a paper trail with the APG's linking. I think most of us are using an APG on an APG;)Lets be honest if they can't work out the glitch what chance have they got of linking APG's;)It's different if you were using a card to pay or like in T's a clubcard but these I would think are near on impossible, I'm not saying totally impossble but I personally don't think they would bother do it;)

    I hope not!

    I guess it depends how many £1000's they have lost when they realise whats going on (which they are bound to, when someone at HO starts to see very odd trends in SP sales, coke, poo etc) and if they decide to try and recoup somehow, or make a case of fraud if someone has gone over £100 per month several/many times over?

    I think some stores have sussed locally that something is going on, but they've not got their head round it. It will take some IT bod to figure it out at HO level, and if they find out the true scale, then the poo will hit the fan!

    I really hope its not down to an asda IT person responsible for the asdapricechecker/MSM interface, as good as these glitches are I would hate to think someone could loose their job over this, as it does feel like its grown very big compared to our usual kind of glitches!

    Can I ask if anyone on here has used any SADA's in C0ventry, I have to go there tommorow and may pop in if it is not too trouty? TIA

    I've done two shops at a time in there and they are all totally fine, I hope I'm not tempting fate now... but I've never been trouted. All my APG's haven been £10 or below, whether that makes a difference or not.
    I've never seen another MSE'r there either :( I keep looking out for one! Plenty of stock, except the 750g Crunchy nuts!
    I presume you mean the larger Mr A's?

    Glad the visual is coming in handy :D

    Don't know if it has been mentioned today, but am I right in thinking that it's best NOT TO BUY any poo / cond v Mr T tomorrow as the offer ends on 17/09 and your products will not compare at 3 for 2??

    I can see many people getting caught out :(

    This was a poo shop from this afternoon, if hasn't gone as planned as the JF Lux Vol Shamp has compared badly. I was expecting approx £20 less the extra for the meats but its come in just over £10 with the 10%

    I got hold of the Alberto Balsom shampoo and also conditioner as I could not remember which Tri gg ers as SP gels and poo were OOS
