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 cheaper). 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.

Not at all, that is extremely helpful!

I am attempting to learn this stuff as quickly as possible and have been reading for hours now trying to familiarize myself and have been feeling like I have made merely dents into it all, so this is more than welcome. The more complicated the better

Thank you :T

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.

:T Cheers

Should be good to go then. Watch me pay full price for everything :rotfl:

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.

No probs it was a decent price to start with so I was not going to lose out if it didnt glitch and seen as it did :j:j:j thanks again to the op plenty of shower gel in reserve now :T

Not sure what triggers are?

Sauce is not on a multibuy according to sada site but it is showing on my msm, is there a reason it would show on mine but not yours

So let me check I understand this, if something is not showing on MSM for anyone, it does not compare and does not count toward your 8 items, if it shows for some people it does compare and count?

I thought you only needed 1 item to compare to count toward 8 items? Am I misreading that

Don't worry about "triggers" for now - that's something totally more complex. Likewise your question it would only cause confusion if I answer it at this stage, but yes.
You need 8 *different* items, different flavours or varieties of the same product count, 1 of which must be comparable to at least one of the competitors. And the eight items need to be grocery items and on MSM.

Just found Discovery Green Jalpeno Relish (300g) showing £2.09 for S but 50p for A on MSM. Is this is glitch or is it at 50p on sada.com? (Seems perhaps good for that S v A shop if you need it.) Also Napolina spaghettis at 50p for A.

It has been in my A's at that price, HTH.

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

Ooops, just bought the ladies on the off chance it would work.... Oh well hopefully I haven't lost anything
