    I'm still struggling to get my head round this.
    Let me get this right....you could have got your shopping for £8.40. Instead you paid £14.44. You get the difference back, plus 85p. So to make 85p profit you have to deliberately do a more expensive shop than what you could have done, plus ensure your shop complies with the APG T&Cs, and spend time & printer ink/paper to log on & print your APG. All of that is assuming that you haven't spent extra time/petrol going to Asda instead of the cheaper shop. And you don't get loyalty points either?
    If I've got this right, it's hardly the steal of the century *confused*

    I've just bought one Pepsimmax today as part of a cheese shop, have I got it wrong yet again ...
    I haven't taken part in this glitch (cheese etc.) at all but thought I would today now the pepsi comes up. So considering adding it.

    Is the APG randomly showing a higher price than paid, or is pepsi 8 pack on a multibuy offer in store?
    Cup of Tea? :coffee:

    Thank you! Will add that. Is it multibuy offer in store or is it showing as £3.50 on APG randomly instead of £2.50?

    they only paid £10.93 but the apg machine thought they paid more. So their full shop (less apg voucher) cost just over £4 :D

    Hello, That's an apple for 3p?? Are they selling by the slice now?!

    I just noticed that too, I actually bought green grapes and the sticker on them is for grapes the receipt does say Granny Smith so somehow the till saw them apples and not the grapes.. Strange

    Not quite as cheap as we've sometimes had but still this seems a very good deal to me ! (especially as the whole shop only came to £14.92 and I used a £12 gift card which I got when I bought something with an almost date expired APG from the big glitch last Sept. and then retuned it for a refund onto a card!) Probaly worth a rinse and repeat later today.

    Hope that helps.
