    Just my view, but I don't think the "FB conversations " add anything of value to this thread. We have a fabulous group of people here and it has evolved into a really first class money saving thread which pulls together SO many deals. I can't think that there is another site of this quality anywhere on the Internet at the moment.

    Lets please not wish for things to be different:) life is sweet. Change is good, healthy and vital for new blood to bring a fresh perspective to the thread.

    Not wanting to start a debate or upset anyone with differing views:)

    Love you all:)

    Edit. Sorry RN think we posted at the same time

    I have been out all day and just had a very quick catchup and agree with you TrulyMadly,I think you have put into words what a lot of us are thinking:T

    Back to business have managed to get several 1p Mothers day choc's so thanks to OP:jand well done to all those that got some,you certainly have to keep your nerve whilst scanning them:eek:
    Hospital appt was stressful as they were running late,but was pleased I got what I wanted and shall be going in for a small procedure in 5weeks time .

    Hope you get home soon Logie sending you a hug x
    Off to bed now so will say Goodnight all.

    I have a query.

    Asda say they will refund the difference and will be 10% cheaper. I always assume (but haven't checked) it works like this:

    Diet Coke 330ml x 8. 2 packs.
    Asda £3.00 x 2 = £6.00
    Tesco £4.20 bogof

    Price check gives £1.80 back and Asda will be 10% cheaper so also 42p back (10% of £4.20)

    Obviously the price guarantee is on whole shop so I appreciate you need 8+ items and any items which are dearer elsewhere will affect the total.

    I've seen posts on here that in this example its £1.80 back plus 18p (10% of the difference).

    I read the Asda price check as 10% cheaper than competitor, not 10% of the difference? So if you buy something the same price that compares it will refund 10% of the competitor price so Asda are 10% cheaper?

    I've added things to APG shops that I buy anyway which are the same price assuming I get 10% discount off them. I know some peeps on here have spreadsheets which work it out, they will know what the right figures are. Can you please clarify it for me?

    Yes, I can clarify (teaching grandmother for the regulars, so can be skipped). I used to have a spreadsheet but it has fallen into disuse, as I don't get time to update it anymore. I suspect "we'll give you the difference" is capable of confusing. It doesn't mean you'll just get a price match - but the "difference" is the difference to the 10% cheaper than the (cheapest) rival - plus an odd penny sometimes to round up so that Sada is "at least" 10% cheaper than the others. Basically, if the comparable bill is the same at A and the rival, you get the amount that takes you to 10% cheaper than the rival - e.g. A and T both £10, ten per cent will mean a voucher for £1.00.

    The refund to "10% discount" works this way: if A is more expensive, e.g. comparable items in your basket (which may, indeed likely will, vary depending on which competitor you're looking at) A is £11 and T is £10, you'll get (if T is cheapest) £2.00 voucher - £1 for the difference between the A and T price, plus another £1 making "the difference" of £2.00 in total to be 10% cheaper than T. The "difference" (under the price guarantee) takes you to 10% cheaper than the rival would have been on their equivalents. Of course, you still pay whatever the Sada price was on the non-comparable items in the basket (and on any non-grocery items or items that aren't on MSM.co.uk). Except that we on here use glitches and sometimes or often get to a lot more than 10% cheaper. E.g. the item not on MSM is part of a mix and match multibuy so it reduces the price we pay for the other item, that is on MSM.co.uk and the APG, but compares (as only that item of the mix and match - plus your other items that had nothing to do with that multibuy of course) at full price vs the competitor and adds to voucher to be 10% cheaper (calculating from the full price, where we've used an item that isn't on MSM to trigger it - otherwise, if both are in the guarantee, they come up as e.g. £1.50 each if it's a 2 for £3.00 multi, regardless of individual price and, if the items are not the exact same product, same weight, variety, flavour, brand, exactly the same, count a two sep. items). The triggers don't count, as they're not on MSM.

    Because that's how it works ;)

    Thanks guys. I definitely saw a post here the other day where someone said (can't remember the item but using mine as an example) about getting say £1.20 difference plus 12p (10% of the price difference) which didn't seem correct. I should have asked then as it has niggled me since wondering if I was working it out wrong. I tend to do a rough calc in my head of the benefits but never check the APG to the penny.

    I like adding same price stuff I'd buy anyway to APG shops as its another 10% back but the person I saw posting doing the above would say same price = nothing back.
    If I had a pound for every pound I'd lost, I'd be confused
