    I suspect part of the problem is people using words like "trigger" which makes some items seem magical and different, when in reality they're simply cheap products within a set of matching products; think this might be a contributing factor to some of the miscounting that is happening (especially by newbies). Perhaps if people used language that sounds more inclusive of the cheap products then there might be fewer mistakes!

    e.g.

    BOGOF offers buy a multiple of 2 including a cheap one

    3 for 2 offers buy a multiple of 3 including a cheap one

    etc.

    whilst I agree with you to a degree....I think the problem lies with folk trying to run before they can walk!!:D

    your 3 cokes have compared against your rice pudding , so thats ok, didnt need the porridge oats though unless you actually wanted them?

    everything good - well done
    The cleaning and scrubbing will wait till tomorrow, For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
    So quiet down, cobwebs. Dust go to sleep. I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.


  • Well, one thing that could be done is to post it on the Food and Groceries board and let everyone have a punt at it. As long as there are very clear warnings about its difficulty and flakiness. Then let others take over the reins in terms of helping each other find the best baskets etc.

    11+ers have had their fill and some. It may end tomorrow, may go on for a while. I know there are some on here who would not like it to reach a wider audience, but surely each and every one who is a regular on this thread has done very very well so far, so may be time to spread the joy and share? There are a lot of folk on F&G who are struggling - this could make a difference.

    Would also have a very good side benefit of clearing down this thread of APG talk which, from some posts seen recently, would be welcomed by some.

    OP on F & G would need to be a kind, gentle person who fully understands the glitch and has time to help with lots (:D) of questions.

    Still having the quickest catch up ever:oBut OMG this is a good idea:T:T:TBefore anyone says anything about it being done to get rid of anyone, it really isnt:(It's just that I've read loads of posts with some really sad and emotional stuff on from regulars and it's getting lost:eek:The thread has always been a massive source of support and chat for people and as it looks like APG might be here for a while surely it makes sense to give it a dedicated thread now;)Just my opinion on it:)
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:

    Can I just clarify that the above is slightly incorrect...in that not all the glitches are working as we would want them to. Not everything on 2for1 at Ts is glitching against the cheapest item....

    Sure... however I didn't claim that every multibuy does glitch; was simply saying that those multibuys we know to do so all glitch using the same basic set of rules.
