Because you only have 4 items, the kleenex don't glitch with the rice

Edit: It's the same with your second shop but luckily for you you paid full price on the rice and not on one of the more expensive items.

Think the ethos is that if you are expecting a larger than £15 apg then you might as well have a "packet of sausages" as sada will keep the extra value of the apg anyway

And I can see no reason why general chit chat cant be moved to say the moneysavers arms?:p

Unless attitudes have changed in the last week, certain posters think this a poor option.

Thanks for that. I have tried to read as many posts as I can but must have missed something because I thought the kleenex was Waitrose and didnt need a trigger. Still, its all hit and miss I guess.

Not if you need the item, you can buy it in A knowing you are getting the cheapest price for the item compared to say T (v colgate) and reduce your apg. If you were going to but the item anyway.

If I was going to do a shop of groceries i would normaly split the shop so the things i was buying anyway but were probably dearer in Ts wouldnt affect my APG in and adverse way. Now i will add them to my glitch shop and be able to get an extra glitch ( or 2) but not affect the APG. Still going to spend the same, just getting more glitch in one shop.

E.G. let's assume I do 2 shops at MrA

Glitch shop v T (for colgate):
Fillers + 3 colgate
Total spend= £17.50 =APG £14.50

Non glitch but needed items v T:
Chicken breast, choccy buscuits, single malt? Etc.
Total spend= £30 ASDA was cheaper = no APG

Let's presume the single malt was £4.50 cheaper in A and I included it in my first shop, this would reduce the APG but my overall spend would still be the same, if I then added another 3 glitch items to the first shop it would increase my overall spend but also increase the APG.
Having said all that it is now clear as mud for me, I am confused.:rotfl:
