However, if you are determined to do a shop that generates a high APG, then yes, adding your normal shop won't matter, and will give a lower APG to total shop ratio.

Sorry on phone quoting and editing gives me a headache.

Went to B3dm1ns3r store today. It was swarming with managers and their staff with handheld scanners on the shop floor. I overheard one say 3 for 2 offers and they were bagging up a sample of certain items, one of which I noticed was Rocky bars (trigger for batteries). It could just be updating SELs but I felt as though they knew something, plus there were four security staff there and I've never seen more than two before. Too anxious to use an apg voucher so went to another store, apg was initially refused as they said the amount was inconsistent as a % of the total spend. Checked with manager over the phone and who said they'd just received an email to say their system had been hacked into and a virus had caused this problem, but reluctantly took my apg voucher.

I think that explains it better than I did!:D

Tomorrow I will experiment.
I am going to get a W shop that will have an APG of about £25 but....
I will also buy these, (which I need) x4

Persil Small & Mighty Colour Biological Liquid Capsules - 10 Washes (10)

£2-50 in A. £5 in W. :eek::eek:

So my APG should be about £15:):)

why dont you just get more items giving a lower apg? the crunchy nut cornflakes for example ..the 750g box is on offer at £2...you can get more items giving less back but maximising our trolley/apg

Just a bit confused about adding in normal shopping, for instance I buy asda hot pepperoni which I know compares as N/A, so if I get two of those for £3 then add an extra box of cereal at £3.18 (obviously still within buy in 3 rule) then the extra amount back of £2.82ish will almost pay for the pepperoni. Is that right?

Rather confusing as I am otherwise thinking it has to be something cheaper in As to W to bring the APG down???

Squigs - I've been doing this with most of my shops

The first couple of days of the glitch, I spent £75 in A ...on glitch stuff and carp fillers.....great news for the glitchy stuff I will use....but theres only so much pepper, batter mix etc I can get through...so I changed tactics!

I've been adding normal stuff like milk, bread, fruit and veg (not single items) and meat to most of my shops. Mostly the meat doesnt compare...however, usually the other stuff does...so unless theres a dramatic difference in price, it can actually help boost an APG

ie...
milk in A £1...in T £1.18

this compares...so the amount that A is going to give you back is going to be an extra 10% of £1.18.... so instead of looking at it like you've lost 18p by buying milk at A, you've actually only lost 7p (£1.18 minus 10%).

This applies to lots of stuff....its only if its a lot more expensive in the other store that it will negatively affect your apg

ie if milk were £1 in A yet £4 in T and compared....you would lose £2.60 on your apg (£4 - £1, minus the 10% difference, 40p = £2.60).

probably clear as mud, but it works!

And saves having to do lots of different shops for glitchy stuff/ normal shopping etc..or going to a different shop for the cheaper items!
