Oh. My. Days.


I have spent a lot of today having a look at my OU stuff online, the forums, rough timescales and all that

I had to come to bed to get over the shock!!

To say that I am a bit :eek: is an understatement.

Why, oh why did I think doing 2 seperate ones straight away would be a good idea??? :eek:

I will have to sit down and work out a timetable. Work, sleep, which bit to study, you lot, mealtimes and shopping :cool:

Evening guys and gals


Queen if you get stuck and need advice why not PM my sis

If you're going to get the Domestos, you may as well get the 2 litre one for 32p as the 750ml one for 32p surely.

Don't quite get why people are buying the smaller ones, unless it would tip you over the £15?

Quite often the special ones, e.g. +33% don't work or tickled pink etc., in some ranges, so are best avoided.

if im getting 9 glitchy items so no fillers needed. you have to get a few lower cost items because of your outlay with the £15 cap hth

Well what a rubbish weekend, yesterday out for dinner with family, came home with 2 laptops and a DS lite, you'd be pleased wouldn't you, unless that is you were invited round for dinner so you could repair faulty things :mad: oh and to top it, 1 bottle of wine on table between 4, whilst I'm looking at problems another 2 bottles appeared and I got a coffee. :mad::mad:

Not happy, and then to top it just as I'm about to serve a roast tonight, ex-neighbour turned up from 4 years ago, his dd brought a galaxy tab and can't use it for work java won't work, so dinner was delayed for 90 minutes before reheating, then to top it iPod touch sold on fleabay for £70 instead of £100.

Sometimes I wish I didn't help people, and the best of it is do I get anything back no nothing.

Why do I bother.

Mad does IT. Most of the time it is easy fixes, but very time consuming.
Had a desktop to fix onetime that was a bit troublesome (my sisters boyfriend)
He said to me after about 10 mins "haven't you fixed that yet? I thought you were a computer guru".
Sorry pal, I can't touch it now because of all the dodgy !!!!!! on it :cool:
End of Mad being friendly and end of their relationship :rotfl:

I'm pretty sure this is misinformation

It only rounds up/down if the cost of 2 triggers is not divisible by 3

eg

if a 3f2 trigger was 92p each in S then 3 would cost £1.84, average price of 61.33p. This would mean comparison prices would show 2 products comparing at 61p and 1 comparing at 62p (61+61+62=184p which is the cost of 2 triggers)

if a 3f2 trigger was 93p each in S then 3 would cost £1.86, average price of 62p. This would mean all items compare at 62p (62+62+62=186 which is the cost of 2 triggers)

I'd need to see the colour coded results to decipher what is happening

Incorrect , see below:p

Quaker Oat So Simple Apple & Blueberry has been rounded down to £0.37 the rest of the glitchy items are 39p

apg rounds figures up/down;)

All this fun has passed me by until today. I read about the glitch just as I went on holiday so have been itching to try this out after enjoying the Tesco PC days.

I managed a successful shop today after reading quite a few posts but am still a little confused about the magic numbers. I'm sure everyone is fed up of questions but....

I bought :

1 x [trigger] A.R.P.
1 x Weetabix 72
4 x Weetabix 48
plus
6 x very cheap filler items

(yes - it resulted in losing £1 odd due to the cap)

As I understood I need to have 3 glitchy items [or 6] (including the trigger), and over 8 [eligible] items total (for APG rules).

Are there any other rules?

e.g. Do I need to have 9 or 12 (or any other) number of items in total?

How do multiples of the same product affect the numbers?

Are the filler items important - ie the N/A status of them, or is it just that they are cheap. Say I add Heinz Beanz (that is the same price at the other supermarket) instead of a 10p choccy - any problems?

TIA & apologies if this is the 416th time of similar questions.

I think you've pretty much got this worked out.

Apg stipulates at least 8 comparable items. Most go for 8-9 or 10 different barcodes. A's have a habit of missing an item off the comparison, so if you get 8, it reduces to 7, then doesn't compare.

The quatities depend on the particular glitch. 241 offers, you need to by in total of even numbers, multiples of 2's (including trigger if it requires one) 342 offers, need to be bought in multiples of 3's, including trigger item if needed.

As with DTD, double check msm, and stock or not, daily. Offers of course can change quickly

The additional items that you buy, to bring up the total number of barcodes, ca affect your APG, as it did in DTD.

Say you buy Beanz 5 in A's, 84p, if you were buying it, then in other stores some are charging 85p. So you would lose 1p on the deal. But, if an item you bought in A's was on offer, it might be £1, compared to £2 in your target store. And your resultant APG would be £1 down.

only the syrup sponge compare in the pudding offer unfortunately, so the bourbons would be the best trigger



it rounds them up/down so 61/62p would be the trigger price for all those that compare

Im not sure that I agree on this one locarr as they divide to exact numbers and not a half penny etc.

I wouldnt like people going out and buying too much based on this info, so would advise people to be cautious with it.

I know you are one of the ones that understands this glitch god damn well, but for me on this one, the numbers arent perfect.

Edit - Im with aau1 on this one

btw aau1 I didnt get out to do my perfect shop today, so will be doing it tomorrow.
