If you can't remember then I'd say it's a sure sign you are old enough

Presumably 2x Dove Pro Age and nothing else would work if that's the case? (NB: I haven't looked at the Dove product on MSM.co.uk, I'm just responding on the basis of the post at the moment.)

It seems to me that 2 of the same item is more likely to recognise the m'buy rather than mixing items

Anyway, however you define 'trigger', this is a mix and match with a multibuy not being picked up.

Yes - 2 x Dove Pro-age or 4, 6 etc without anything else (bar fillers) works fine.

Yes - Any more than one of the other items results in it the multibuy being recognised.

I'm not sure it really matters too much in the grand scheme?

The post was quickly popped on as there were a few people mentioning they were getting more than one 'other' item, knowing that they could indeed be rushing out the door in haste, speed was required. So sorry if my post was not clear.

:o sorry.

Good evening - in and out tonight (or I will be after I start reading about your triggers!:rotfl::)). Thanks Witch Hazel for once again taking the wind from out of my sails...:D

Multiple pro ages and one lynx worked for me from results a few minutes ago.
Fish fingers also compared well.
S&G both types also worked.

I notice my post no 3087 was another representation of my attempts to gain great accuracy. Sometimes I feel - and this is a more general point that also applies in fields well beyond price comparing - if only the media, for example, were more accurate in their terminology and used it with greater precision to mean the same thing every time, then the overall impression the general public get (from reading/consuming, over time, many sources of media) would not be misleading to the general public. (Except that the general public does not take on an often overly-pedantic interpretation to the extent that I do!) And it would also cause less confusion, I feel, if the terminology were precise.

Aside from defining precisely what a "trigger" is, as opposed to using it to apply in several quite different situations (as this is not a criticism of how the word is used - perhaps, indeed, a "trigger" covers a wide range of different things), also there's some confusion (from a technical sense) of what constitutes a "glitch".

Firstly, is it an error only in our favour? Or is it an error generally? And sorts of things such as a m'buy "glitch", that involves a "trigger" in the sense I was first taking*, might not be glitches at all! They might be the proper operation of T&C no. 7 of the APG:

"7. mySupermarket independently collect prices from the grocery home shopping websites of Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Asda on a daily basis. Any item not included on ASDA.com will not be included in the Asda Price Guarantee or count towards the minimum requirement of 8 different items..."

(Although perhaps they mean MSM.co.uk, not a.com?)

Nonetheless, lots of us on here call these situations 'glitches', and I myself stray into doing so from time to time.

I think best not to get hung up on definitions, more so to understand what items need to be bought, where and in what way, in order to save the most money (or even to make a profit - sometimes this seems to be moneymakingexpert.com rather than MSE, and absolutely nothing wrong at all with that!). That notwithstanding, perhaps there's a tinge of merit in starting to refer to "trigger1" (i.e. "trigger"-definition 1), "trigger2" and "trigger3" - thus making it clear which of the three(?) types of trigger we are on about, rather than just referring to "trigger". Again a criticism of no-one, just an interesting (or boring!) point being raised.


*Namely a missing item from the APG that then triggers the non-missing one to compare from full price.

It's £1.50 for 20 Youngs

Ooooo... Now that makes a difference! (I see the A £1.50 ones are 10s, so thanks for drawing the Young's 20s to my notice and now, from this forum, it is clear whether they are 10s or 20s - the answer being they are 20s!)

Don't understand this one to be honest.

It's quiet easy the 4 products above cost you £6.00 in sada 2 for £3.00 offer, but mysupermarket haven't picked up the multi buy on the dove it thinks you paid £9.12. So your apg is £4.70 + 10%.
