    Yes, we were discussing this in the car today. This isn't like the old DTD glitch at Tesco where they actually paid us to take stuff away, we do actually pay for all this stuff despite it being very cheap.

    Also how many people mess up shops and either pay full whack or don't get quite the APG they expect? I'm sure we've all done that.

    True too is the fact many of us have bought our normal shopping whilst in there too instead of elsewhere. I for one have barely set foot in a Tesco in weeks now!

    The supermarkets fight for market share more than anything else these days, its their main battleground. My guess is the APG system (glitches and all) is helping asda no end and is annoying the hell out of Tesco!

    Clearly the glitch can't carry on as it is, but I bet asda would be quite satisfied to stem the flow and keep some of the benefits rather than actually risking losing all the benefits as well.

    I'm surprised they have not simply reintroduced the 6am next day system as it would allow the benefits of the glitches to continue whilst stemming the worst of the bad affects.

    If you are reading this though Mr A.....any chance of a shower gel glitch please? ;)

    I've been using the Alberto balsalm tea tree tingle as an all over body, back, sack and crack gel....just the same as shower gel tbf:D

    Good evening everyone

    Well have had a fab day. My DD & her boyfriend are on holiday in Las Vegas. Yesterday they went to Grand Canyon & he proposed :j:j so they are now engaged :T:T. I'm so excited they've been together 6 years since she was 18 & they make such a wonderful couple.

    I cancelled my online order yesterday but have placed it again just now (biting nails hoping they don't fix it tomorrow). Decided to take a chance & ordered things I would buy anyway like Iams & cereal so fingers crossed. Went through Quidco so that pays for the delivery. Mind you £3 is probably less than I pay in petrol round trip to my A's.

    Congratulations to your daughter and her fiance. :):):)

    I am so pleased. I have been following this APG lark, but was worried about being stuck with a load of stuff I didn't really want. Today I wrote down some of the items on henlans list (which I would normally buy) @ 4.26 and set off.
    Result !
    4 boxes crunchy nut
    2 bottles robinsons
    1 limelight
    2 mr muscles
    1 cif
    1 dettol
    1 rice pudding

    Got me an APG voucher for £24.49. Also found some chosen by you 'summer fruit' cheesecakes in the freezers reduced to clear £1. So thank you all for your hard work and dedication in the pursuit of moneysaving
    Still virtually alcohol free since 4/1/15. (10 Xmas/ New Year/Birthday drinks)

    Thanks for posting it was working again.
    Did my first baby food shop today and all compared at 46p each:)

    I added some Plum baby food to my baby food basket today to make up the numbers of 8 different qualifying items

    These ones are £1 in A's, £1.79 and BOGOF in Ts

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/SpecialOffers/SpecialOfferDetail/Default.aspx?promoId=A29875245

    Not sure if they'll glitch with anything at a lower price but if you buy 2 it means you pay £2 in A's, which compares against £1.61 (£1.79 less 10%) in T so you only really have to pay 80p each one

    Like I say, good to make up the numbers and also gives bubba some variety ;)

    With 2 successful APGs under her belt she went back to A just after 3pm

    She is probably still there filling her trolley with coke! :eek:


    Sorry I missed that, whilst posting. Doh I forgot its 24 hrs opening. Bless her she is going for it big time.

    What a little success can do to some people. ;)

    Someone, and I thought it was you (? - apologies if I am way off course) was hoping to stock up on some little bottles, and the 2 for £3 offer is running in conjunction with the 25% off. Can't do the maths at all but I seem to remember it works out very cheap because they take the 25% off the top line price or somesuch. Great for Xmas hampers etc :)

    Wasn't me, I tend to get the full size bottles for OH but I do often get involved if there are any calculations to be done for any wine offers like the 25% working with 3 for £12 etc, maybe that's why you thought of me and wine. Or maybe me admitting to nearly having 90 bottles stashed in my bathroom at one point after a really good M & S glitch. ;)

    I still have some little bottles hidden away from one of there offers about a year ago. I wonder how long they keep for they are not easy to get to. :eek:
  • Only just caught up. Every time turned a page another added at the end!

    Just 1 shop today, DD1 and me sharing a trolley, making most of it ... only 4 days before she's off to uni - will have lost my shopping partner. But bought a wifi printer with a large APG yesterday so she can print coupons. Have to update her weekly with latest offers and coupons
