Well done :T Its great isn't it when you get it right.

I tell you at one point I thought that I would never get it right, but there were so many different glitches all at once, it even confuddled some of the other Elite.

Its all settled down now, I must point out that Budgie is not complaining.

One glitch at a time so as Budgie can understand it is quite acceptable.

Well done again and welcome to the thread.

Evening all. Did a big shop at A's this afternoon and chucked in some dental stuff for good measure. I bought the zig zag toothbrushes and noticed that both the 3 pack and 6 pack were the same price of £3 so I bought the 6 pack and it compared fine so it's worth getting that one.
As this shop compared to T, a couple of noteworthy fillers I found are Asda mini pork sausage rolls 15 per pack 225g - £1.50 A £0.75 T, Asda mixed peppers x 3 - £1.65 A £1.00 T, Asda broccoli 335g A £0.75 T £0.55.
Used £15 APG no problems (thank god as I had a panic attack when I got that one as it was more than I planned!) and got one back for £10.12 so was well chuffed with that as I knew I was taking a bit of a risk trying the dental with my normal shop.

I should never go shopping! I always go to do a glitch and totally forget to look at my shopping list (which is normally in my hand) and any sense I may have, just rushing around picking random things up. Doh.

Anyroad, I think it's karma. My recent shops have been abysmal. I did the Wal£ers crisps and that didn't glitch, and nor did the Ber£olli.

Ouch, well you deserved the luck then I haven't done crisps or bertrolli so can't help you out there sorry

Why thank you young man. I messed up because I did the crisps and the margarine after they stopped comparing or the other shop upped their prices. Serves me right though. I am rather bad.

by the way forgott o say thanks to the OP who mentioned the alpen bars are not going through as a multibuy anymore, 2 for £3 signs still up at my small local:j

lovely £2 giftcard after prompting:j

Surely you don't mean me?

I posted that the 2 for £3 deal was finished the day the cereal glitch started :rotfl:

I bought 8 different boxes, paid £16, got £4 refund and £16 giftcard (£2 per different item )

Was one of the confecs a fudge? I remember reading ages ago to avoid them as they don't show as an item on the comparison.

Hope you cat appreciates the full price Iams at least! :undecided

No fudge!!!:)

Was it the 33% extra domestos? as that has a different barcode to the one without the 33% or could it be the sweets, i've had them lump "confectionary" together before if they were the same price.

Demexstos worked fine

Just to double check, you said the bottom one was fine? If so the only difference is the top one has Pledge wipes. Had a look on MSM and I can't see any at £1.50. Maybe they're not comparing but I don't know as I've never tried any.

But I still had 8 items! The same items I've always used!!

Pears Shower Gel (250ml)

I have 2 APG's which i need to get rid off (£35+ &£43+) as i only intend to generate the capped APG's i dont mind using the balances on test purchases, the only thing i'm not sure about is what to get so if people want me to "test" items just let me know what the item is and the store it compares to (also any triggers or trigger suggestions). who knows we might find some nice new items
