Afternoon all

Huge congrats to Bailey Bear - well jel :T:T:)

Tested a theory today about "triggers" on multi shops and it worked! Likely to be today ony for this particular offer, but has potential going forward .....

Lynx stuff 4 for £10, but the three thermo protect 48hr 200ml deos were added to the offer today but are not yet showing on msm. So this item does not appear on the APG (I got the Africa Lynx dry), but the other three items do, they compare at full price and are on offer at T

9 items on your bill qualify for comparison Tesco

+£5.85

1 x Princes 100% Pure Orange Juice from Concentrate (1...£1.00£0.79
1 x Princes 100% Apple Juice from Concentrate (1L)£1.00£0.79
1 x Kingsmill Really Seeded Bread (800g)£1.00£0.50
1 x Barratt Flumps Mallow Twists£0.10£0.10
1 x Cadbury Freddo (18g)£0.20£0.20
1 x ASDA Smartprice Crumpets (6)£0.37£0.37
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Giant Rainbow Buttons Bar (15g)£0.10N/A
1 x Lynx Shampoo Anti Dandruff 2 in 1 (300ml)£3.49£1.74
1 x Lynx Clean Cut Look Defining Wax (75ml)£4.29£2.86
1 x Lynx Shampoo Attract (300ml)£3.49£1.74

Comparison total (compared products only)£14.94£9.09

Messy Look Paste also on offer at T. Will work on any of the items in the 4 for £10 offer, but only some compare well against S and T for decent returns.

Other two possible triggers are the Excite Dry and Apollo dry 200ml anti-perspirants at £3.85.

I've tried 4 of these today, using 3 shampoos, and a Lynx Matt clay that doesn't seem to appear on MSM, so will post results in 3hrs.

My A only had one hair gel, the Apollo one but this one is showing in the offer so didn't use that.
I may take one of the shampoos back and exchange for the hair gel as DS is wanting some.

I've just been writing an egg glitch shopping list. It's been a while since I used the term "MIA trigger"!:rotfl::rotfl:

Do we think it's wise to do the eggs today then?
Or is it a safer bet to leave it until tomorrow?

I can't get out until this evening, would really love to give this one a bash.

Afternoon all, happy birthday to those who celebrated this week and ooops to Lady leenie - hope it heals quickly, know they're painful.

Looking forward to easter egg challenge - hopefully it's as successful as xmas

I was in the same position, my sister went to college but I didn't even though I was the brainy one. The worst of it was that as I had a part time job at 14 I didn't get pocket money - I was even supposed to cloth myself on it At 16 I got my 1st full time job with a firm that paid for you to go to night school to get your extra exams so at one stage I was doing 40 hour weeks and 3 evening classes and I got the exam results the school said I couldn't get!
so as a result all of mine have stayed on at college and uni and they all had part time jobs as well.

The youngest one is now on his last year and he has a huge appetite but I don't charge boards but he does jobs around the house like filling the coal bucket, drying up etc

it must make you feel good enabling your kids to have the choice you did not, its good for them to have jobs and learn to support themselves and nice they help at home both my girls went to uni, and one lad at college my youngest is only 13 so we will have to wait and see but if he wants to we will support him i wanted to go to agricultural college but was told if i wanted to work with animals i could work at the family petshop as they needed someone i was 15 the youngest and did not really have a choice .

So, (pending confirmation) the Easter Egg glitch should work like this

Buy 3 eggs in the 3 for £10 deal.

Make sure 1 of them is NOT showing on MYS...this is the "trigger"...at present the best one is the Roses one.

Make sure the other 2 compare well ie £5 each to £2 each in T's...you can buy 2 the same or 2 different as long as they both compare favourably, if you get 2 different you will need less fillers.

Purchase above items with AT LEAST 7 other fillers bearing in mind that the first item (trigger) will not appear and therefore not count towards the 8 item rule.

You should get an APG back of £6.40 for the £10 spend not including fillers. As this is against T's you can use s0ft & gentle, bombay pots, K1ngsmill Seeded and baby new potatoes as fillers anyway.

Total cost of eggs £3.60 for 3. Not as good as the Xmas deal but not bad I suppose!

Word of caution - it's not clear whether this will work today as MYS only updated this afternoon, be safer to wait until tomorrow.

Have I missed anything lol?

Kenco Millicano will be a good filler for the eggs, £3 A and £1.99 T and £1.50 cb on Quidco.

Not a good filler literally of course :eek::eek::eek:

Eggscellent :T:o

BUT, maybe go easy on the fillers you have mentioned as you will generate a hefty APG if you include them all
