Ah thank you Savvy. As in to avoid lessening your saving?

So choosing random things that are cheaper at the competitor is safe to do and I will not accidentally destroy anything?

I'm sure this is old news to those of us seasoned in this now, but if you buy items that are over 10% more expensive at the competitor you're comparing to, A's voucher goes to 10% cheaper than the rival's more expensive price so it subtracts from your APG voucher. (It doesn't matter if competitor is more expensive but by 10% or under, e.g. 98p competitor, A 90p, as you get 10% cheaper than the 98p and that's still a saving even if less than 10% off. £1 at the competitor and 90p A is neutral, so can be on an APG shop - if you're sure the competitor is £1 and not more expensive than that.) Hope this helps*, I'm just trying a quick addition to both my Tv A and Tv S as item showing as OOS in my local T but may be avail for others. Needless to say, for shoppers in A, near none of the Tv A should go on an A v T list!! The only exception is when T is exactly 10% more expensive than A (and the item isn't avail in M, S or W cheaper than T's price: if it is, then A v whoever of those is cheapest). Apologies to go on and complicate things more by giving full picture.

* End at this point, before I go into confusion for those not already expert at it.

Afternoon all, hope everyone is well. Still catching up so not sure if this has been answered yet. My phones and sims were dispatched in separate parcels so might be worth checking with c/serv as the sims may be hanging around somewhere

Just rang them , looks like my sims have been lost in system , so they are refunding me , means I got the phones for £4 each

afternoon everyone

I've been lurking due to still not being over this horrid cough virus. I haven't left the house since Christmas morning not even to go shopping :eek:

I was hoping today I might be able to pop out as DD is recovered from the same virus but it seems like OH has now got a sickness bug. I could honestly cry as he only said last night that as per previous years he will now be ill for new years

This has happend every year for the past seven at least, we have not had a Christmas without illness. I think im going to cheer myself up with an afternoon of harry potter films, Lego and perhaps some browsing of tropical holiday destinations that aren't very MSE but looking at the sunshine (even if I'm never gonna go there) will brighten my grumpy mood :rotfl:

Glad you and your little monkey are feeling better Mrs Stinkface

The 'ladies' are 1.89 in A and 1.90 in T, as opposed to the mens £1.00 - so not going to work the same

Thanks for testing the shower gel David - you were half an hour earlier than me, but I went for more thanks to your results.
I still haven't figured out how to post up an image of my receipt, but Innocent x 2 multibuy was not recognised either, and nor was 3 x 2l of diet coke.
So for 4 shower gel, 3 diet coke and 2 Innocent plus fillers I got an APG of £8.91.

To answer your specific question, absolutely items cheaper at the competitor to go on comparison vs the competitor. That's how APG works (but best of course to be on A v the competitor with the lowest price). And I also do prices per gram of various competitors, where I can, and go into it a lot more than that. But for a first-timer, it'll do that the competitor (one of T, S, W or M, whichever *one* you are comparing to - don't mix items cheaper at different competitors) is cheaper.
