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.

Hi

Am I right didn't you do all the work on the tosco dtd and 1p items last year, not seen you around for a while nice to see you back again.

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;)

Yes it does round up/down but only if the trigger x 2 is not divisible by 3

The porridge is 58p in W

The cost of 3 porridge in W would be £1.16.

The cost of 6 porridge would be £2.32

Average item cost is £2.32/6= 38.67

The way the APG system is getting 6 items to add up to £2.32 is 37+39+39+39+39+39

The Quorn really is £1.50 in W so there's no glitch. There was also a 30p off voucher on the front of the pack which could be used immediately :: So I did

Hugs (()) but its not as bad as my friend, she was working in a shoe shop and a regular customer invited her to a charity event she was hosting.

Friend said she would go to offer support, said lady opened door invited her in and handed her a tray of drinks to give out.

Turns out she was invited all along to be a waitress and she thought she was invited as a guest. :eek:

Sharp exit just doesn't cut it.
Budgie xxx and I do hope Chris Malloney get through to the live X Factor shows as the wild card.

At least they got free drink, I got @@@ coffee.

Thanx though I do remember going to Oh's grandads 80th just after I met her, and I got to open the champers and serve it, I drank more than I poured, she had to drive back on the motorway, sadly grandad died before he lived up to all the promises he made to help us out.

Feeling good at moment and its time to give a bit back! One of my friends told me today of someone who couldn't donate to her church harvest festival as she had no food for her kids! Awful state of affairs. I may ,aon about no money but I am far far far from that situation.

Have volunteered to help out at a food bank - they may well benefit from a glitch or two

My kids harvest festival will have a few glitches too and a fair bit of ambrosia!

That's brilliant DODO :T:T
and on that note I shall wish you all a pleasant and safe evening :A
