    I would appreciate it if someone could suggest what went wrong with the above shop - its not one of mine, its a friend who is not quite confident enough to ask herself! She has spent time reading and checking lists and has had several successful shops, a trouting and now we are both puzzled about the above comparison.

    So far as I can see, she has the right rice trigger and 4 cleaning items, 3 of which compared favourably. I thought that the rice plus 2 of the cleaners should have worked (group of 3) leaving her with 2 cleaners at full price - I'm puzzled as to why 3 cleaners plus the trigger worked. It gets even odder - she also bought Cif Bathroom Spray at £2 - that doesn't appear on the above list even though its certainly on her original receipt.

    The shop was done on Friday. Any suggestions would be welcome.


    Same happened to me yesterday with banana and the giant rainbows button bar coming back n/a !

    I can only see 5 cleaning products.. so 3 worked 2 didn't..

    Perhaps I'm going doo lally but I can't see 5! I can see the Rice trigger plus Viakal, Finish Rinse Aid and Dettol at 32p plus Finish Cleaner at £3.99 ie 4 cleaners. Surely only 2 should have worked with the rice - but 3 did! Also, the Cif Bathroom stuff has vanished completely even though its on the receipt at £2. If the Cif was on the comparison, she would have had 5 cleaners plus the trigger ie 2 lots of 3's and all should have worked.

    It seems odd on 2 counts.

    PS The rice price is a bit odd as well!

    If the CIF bathroom spray doesnt compare that has lost you one of your 6 items needed. Therefore 3 of the cleaning items have gone through at 32p as they should , then 1 at full price and also the ambrosia is showing at full price. Did you check the CIF cleaning spray beforehand on MSM?


    Its a friends listing, not mine but I'm sure she did check on MSM first.

    Also, I'm now very confused - I was sure the rice counted as one of the 3's so surely only2 cleaners should have worked after the Cif disappeared?
