Hi, thanks for this-the details say '4000mAh Camera : 0.3mp Front facing'-is this going to be too weak to skype clearly? 0.3mp doesn't sound good to me???



Apparently, they have to re-load the software for everything and skype takes too long to load each time, so they do have a certain amount of internet time, just not enough to re-load it all the time. I already have very cheap calls to her, but miss seeing her 1 year old DD, and would love to get her something that means we can skype again.x

Pass on the camera quality for skype we opted for this one as it had a dual processor and was less than £50 with vouchers. There seems to be quite a bit of info on here and HUKD about cheap tablets so it might be worth asking in the techie area re camera quality?

Just remembered I forgot to report back on my £16 apg - I survived with a mere comment about it being a big one Now do I go back on saturday and hand the same SA my £17 one? :rotfl:

It's not often I get to have a day trip to Te5cos, but was lucky enough to sample their delights today.
Had placed an order online for click-collect last night for a few copies of Hitman for the PS3. I was a little worried as they went through at £36, but they were meant to be reduced to £16, so took a screen shot in case the price hadn't changed by time I got there.

Never used a click-collect grocery order before, so went into the store, but was told it was round the corner. Before I left, thought it would be rude if I did not have a little look at their fantastic array of goods.

And what fantastic goods they were, especially the 2 Disney Blu-rays I bought, shame they still had B1G1F stickers on, so the lovely lady on customer services gave me DTD on my overcharge (woohoo, 2 free Blu-rays!) I hasten to add, that she was not even prompted, but instead explained why I was getting such a large refund.

I then totter out and drive round to the C&C point. Was told off for walking in, and the nice gent insisted I drive in, for 'elth & safety'.

I drive in, he fetches my goods, and I inform him that the total should have been £100, not the £120 I had on my invoice/bill. He seemed a bit lost so went back to check with someone else. When he eventually surfaced, he suggested I go to customer services. So I did.

I drive back round, park up, and go in-store to see my new favourite employee of this wonderful emporium. I relaid my thoughts to her of how I must be having 'one of those days', and proceeded to informer her of my second over-charge. I showed her my screen shot, and like the previous gentleman, she was at a loss. After chatting to another nice lady, she was informed to give me a refund of the over-charge. She then proceeds to give me another DTD discount. How jolly nice of her.

All in all a lovely outing was had by all, and the service was second to none..............Is there anything on the TV yet???

Why o why o why, cant all our visit to the emporium Tesco be as fruitful and as momentous as your visit today - RESPECT!!

1 x Ambi Pur Plug-In Unit Coastal Escape £5.00 £2.50

I used a new trigger - Lindt mini pralines, not showing in comparison. I will try to find a picture...

Evening. The Ambi Pur Plug-In Unit draws my attention. Just lost a big post in which I was basically telling you I was searching A multibuys in various sections on sada.com + MSM. Found some potential triggers but not very good at all as other items in the multibuy (which are on MSM) are not greatly cheaper at a rival compared to the A price for buying one.

Glade Plug-In Refill Lavendar [sic] - on sada.com, but doesn't appear to be on MSM. This goes with the Ambi Pur Plug-In Refill Harmony Warm Vanilla Lily (don't ask me, if you want to know just type in that exact phrase into MSM) - price for one is £4 at A, compared to T's £3. Pay £6 for the mix and match, minus £1.30 APG, is £2.35 per item. Seems not that good, but then people pay the equivalent of £3 for two items or, arguably more to the point, pick up only one and miss the multibuy opportunity, thus paying £4 for one item (and aren't comparing against the prices of any rivals, i.e. a multibuy that costs more per item than the price of one at the competitor, where you only need one, and therefore buy only one in the 'multibuy' store as you're doing a comparison versus the rival).

What we really need is for the units and not just the refills to be put into the 2 for £6 mix and match offer. The Ambi Pur Plug In Coastal Escape isn't showing on MSM to me. I have the Cranberries & Frost and the Moonlight Vanilla versions showing on MSM with A at £5 and S at £2.50. The S offer runs until 18/12. We should perhaps keep a small eye out to see if any of these three are put into the A mix-and-match whilst S remains at £2.50 or to see if S extends its offer and A then puts it in the mix and match (which seems unlikely). And then buy one of the three units with the Glade Lavender Refill (if that is still not on MSM).

Potential trigger: the Asda Extra Special Black Pudding Slices are in the BBQ & Red Meat A mix-and-match (2 for £5) but I can't find on MSM. One item that compares with a competitor, which is on MSM is Asda CBY Breaded Chicken Fillets 300g. It seems to be the mini-chicken fillets and is showing a S equivalent price of £3 (buying one). The S version appears to be 325g - within the 10% weight range for comparison - so should come out compared as about £2.77. You buy 2 for £5 (black pudding + chicken fillets), APG should then give about 50p, meaning £4.50/2 = £2.25 per item. But the chicken fillets are on multibuy 2 for £5 at S, so buying 2 x chicken fillets in A at £5 and comparing both to S'S multibuy would result in a net price of about £4.15 (or £2.08 per item).

I've checked through the washing powder section but can't find any item on A multibuy. There are cakes, including Fabulous Bakin Boys, that are within a 2 for £2 mix and match at A, but the same number of items appear for me on sada.com + MSM. Same with the KP Nuts mix and match - 6 items on sada.com and 6 on MSM, although they were coming back with full price for A and comparing with competitor's multibuy, which is a slightly different situation to there being one item bought within a mix-and-match missing from MSM.

There are probably some John Friedas and other hair care, which are on mix and match multibuy in A, that may be triggers as the number of items on sada.com and MSM appears to differ, although we had many of those on glitch vs W 3 for 2 recently.

I haven't checked the pet food section (someone will) or the beer aisle, with apologies to our friends in Scotland where the comparison is - or should be - made to Scottish prices. +drink responsibly as they say.

Never made it to Toscos today, I've lost the reciept for the toy I wanted to get a refund for . The price has gone down so wanted the refund and then re buy it and maybe get ds something else with the change

Anyway we took our kids out today because we couldn't use our centre due to work being done there but we got caught up in tonight's road blocks and ended up having to go a very long way to get them back to the centre. A few of them were worried so we done our best to clam them down and reassure them that we were just having to go a different way but would get back soon. They enjoyed the bumpy roads back though!

Last meds of the day time so off to bed I go.
Good night all.

ok guys and gals...had a little look and re checked my earlier apg for fingers and giftsets....

Morries have compared the fingers at £6.67 on multibuy (£10 for 3 - I bought the 360g box of Maltesers too...didnt know any of these were on offer at M)....

on Morries website...the fingers are showing as £4 each....

also...theres lots of the same giftsets in M...but theyre on 3 for £10...so I'm thinking if you bought 6 different ones...plus the fingers..plus one extra filler.....total spend in A would be £34 (plus whatever your filler cost).....but would compare at £38 v £28....so £21.20 after 10%.

Not brilliant I admit...but for anyone whos got gifts left to buy, this might help a little.

I'm trying to see which other gifts match but arent on mys, so would 'glitch' like the pink dove and offer a better return....but I cant find the pic thats someone posted yesterday of the 2 for £8 offers instore at A.... can anyone remember who posted it?

I've thought of the vs M too, but seems haphazard. For one, the M gifts it seems are on multibuy in M - whereas we're cutting down the number of items (within an A multibuy) to one, to then compare to a price reduction at a competitor (when buying one). If you are comparing to a M multibuy (which I understood, last week, was any 3 for...) - it may have changed - you'd have to have 3 items in your comparison, that appeared on the APG site, and then you're reducing APG because you'd have to take advantage of the 2 for £8 offer in respect of items which do appear on MSM and the comparison. That's my thought anyway. Good luck if you can work it out better though. It's a long job finding which precise gift sets in M match those available in A - particularly as we don't have the M ones on MSM.
