    Can anyone see what I have done wrong on this one please ... I tried with sterident for Waitrose toothpaste shop (mixed with cleaning/rice) ... clearly something has kicked in for 3 of the toothpastes but not the other three items?

    8 items (7 different) on your bill qualify for comparisonWaitrose
    1 x Steradent Active Plus Original Tablets (30)£1.00£1.00
    1 x Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief Multi Protection Toot...£3.56 N/A
    1 x Colgate Total Pro Gum Health Daily Mouthrinse (400...£2.00£4.49
    1 x Colgate Total Pro Gum Health & Whitening Toothpast...£2.00£0.67
    2 x Colgate Total Pro Gum Health Toothpaste (75ml)£4.00£1.33

    Bother - spotted it - highlighted item currently N/A on MSM but was working previously as I have seen it on Celebrate's toothpaste list. Ah well, win some lose some (but typical it chose the most expensive ones not to match!!).

    Many thanks

    Why would you post this?:mad: I think this is really unfair! I totally understand that a lot of the newbies come on asking constant questions. But to deliberately inform people like this is just wrong. :mad: Why can't you just say "please do a search"? :mad: :mad: :mad:

    :mad::mad:Because it is faster to type "batteries" in search than it is to log in/register and then type a question and then sit and wait for a nice person to do the work for you and type an answer.:mad::mad:

    And we do all say "please do a search" but then people get annoyed at that being the standard answer.

    And I have a Sense Of Humour, which most people are lacking on here it seems.

    I did not deliberatly mis inform, I gave the OP a choice - believe whatever I had told them, or do the search themselves. In the long run I am only helping them be self sufficient and survive in the real world without someone holding there hand - sometime you just have to let the kids do something themselves.

    They all compare with T's, you needed a different trigger

    I think you needed the colgate triple stripe instead of the steradent.

    You should get her to sign up for the A's baby club. You get the Huggies starter kit for free which includes nappies, wipes and cotton wool but more importantly MOCs that can be used to get money off next starter kit and swim nappies, wipes (£1 MOC and wipes are £1 ;)) and kleenex

    Sorry if you already know, but it might be news to others
    Thanks for the heads up aau1. Will make a note of this post so I can check it out for her next week while the kids are at school xx

    Plus last time I checked there £3 in asda. the voucher takes off £5 at the till. well it did when we got our stockpile of nappies.


    It's still worth signing up to the A's baby club to get the coupon, but sadly the Huggie's starter kits are now £5.47 in A's. Still a good freebie though!

    They usually have these newborn starter kits on offer at £3 whenever A's have the baby fair, and Boots sometimes have them on 3 for 2 aswell.

    The baby club mocs go through the till at £3 now, or they did when the starter set was £3 a couple of weeks ago.

    True - but notwithstanding that expensive toothpaste was out of stock, three of the Colgates did match at 67p and it said it was Waitrose (as other items also matched) - if it needed the Steradent to prompt the glitch (which is normally one of the 3), how come it paid out on three Colgates not two?

    Just intrigued

    It seems to be the same as when the rice goes through at the full price and 3 shampoos go thru at the glitched price.
    It depends how many of the other things you bought at the same time, cereal/cleaning stuff too!

    In the real world as put it someone would put you on your backside for being rude and horrible but it's easier to be a keyboard warrior.:p:rotfl:

    As for misinforming me, I already knew what the trigger was, but also knew there had beed problems with certain pkt types comparing and asked a specific question about a specific post.

    Rather than being rude you could have ignored my question, but you would rather let everyone see clearly what type of person you are.:T:beer:

    PS On another shop, I bought 1x rice, 4x cleaning, 1 x Robinsons plus fillers as I wasn't thinking straight as in a rush (and sat for three hours thinking I had messed up ... again!). However, all matched the rice at 32p - therefore when people have said you can mix cleaning/cereal/hair to match W you did actually mean mix (so rice, 1 cereal and 1 hair would still match - this would seem to be true from my receipt?). Again, just trying to get my head round how it works as assumed before this that you had to keep in 3s from the same category - please correct me if I have got this wrong as I don't want to misinform(!).
