    Very strange thing happened today...went out for the day and passed a different A and thought I would just pop in to see if I could capture some elusive snakes ..yay found two boxes went to checkout and scanned them through paid but as I was leaving thought that what I paid didn't seem right,anyway one box scanned at £9.00 and the other £7.50 but yet both same barcodes and same boxes. Very strange :)

    Just back from a small muggle shop in an x-Netto, got some Birdseye nuggets that were marked at £2 but went through at £3.

    I eventually got my £2 GOGW after having to ask, and wait while they discussed if they did it in that store lol

    Probably known already, but some 500g Flora Buttery and Original have a £1 off 1kg on the foil. What I didn't realise was it is not indicated on the outside of the pack so have spent weeks walking past them :o.

    Spotted instore in A today.

    They took mine away once but it came up the same as in the first place so that was ok but if they do what you are saying it could get very nasty. I won't bow down to them and I would insist mine was right and that I had nt altered it and I would stick to my guns too :)

    After reading about this this morning, I rechecked my 2 APG's from the beginning of the week and screen shot the results on my phone. Therefore, if my apg is checked and is different to my original results, I'll have proof. :)

    I'm going to go whoopsie shopping in an hour. Is the Fajita mix in Asda still comparing against Sainsburys to give £2.21 APG?
    Wondering whether to do a Deans with McVities too - Mcvities as part of pressie for next door, it should give APG of £4.60.
    Chunky Chips too £2.50 against £2.30 Sainsburys APG 43p. YES I know is better against Tesco at £2 but not doing Tesco shop. Can't think of anything else I want that'll give a good return - anyone?

    I will buy some Topic in Asda separately - Thanks Savvy!

    Well actually I am later for the BNI but ours doesn't have 'chunky chips' Don't like other ones, too much fat. Don't forget the BNI might finish on 29th ! Might not but might - probably will as they'll be gearing up for Christmas? Filling spare freezer to capacity as we like!

    :eek::eek:

    Don't know if the Fajita Mix is comparing on the APG, but looks good from msm.co.uk - still says £4 vs £1.99 on there.

    CBY Steak Slice 180g in 2s?
    J2Os?
    Vanish Prewash Stain Remover Spray (500ml) if going for the halfprice cashback??
    McCains 2 Ready Baked Jackets??
    HP Brown Sauce 425g?

    Hmm...is this moneysaving or is it the Savvy-tempter again??:think::think::)

    I love that you've had 75 Achica orders and they haven't even delivered a single one of the four I placed lawrie :rotfl:

    The glitch fairy can be so cruel :o

    I'm always curious to see what others have made out with- do you have any pictures? I hope you don't mind me asking. It's just like a good stash photo to me, I love looking at them.

    In other news, my cat shop from this evening 8-9pm came back insufficient items.

    Shop included:
    Recover
    Rise
    SP Fromage Frais
    SP Sponge Mix
    SP Batter
    SP Soup
    Bananas
    Coke Zero

    Obviously cut it too fine on the number of items (I know, I should have known better, but all these items were staple and should compare). May just be a wobble on my shop? MSM only showing Recover against Ts this evening, NA S and Oos A, Rise T and A, NA S.

    It seems I was one of the first to get the recover failed shop last night but others reported successful shops after me and then today a run of fails. My shop was 20.35 and APG ran exactly 3 hours later if it helps understand when changes may happen.

    Just to add, I got stung last year too when the Lynx glitch ended part way through Sunday :). Need to stick to Radox ;).
    This time, I have returned them (some disagree with this approach ... but Mrs Anon had already stocked up ;) ), no APG to consider.

    Sorry.

    (I need to get some specs. - like msm and the APG, sadly I see only 7 items there.:()

    Sorry-it's got nothing to do with whether items are "staple" (or 'essential') or not - I've had quite obscure items compare (properly) on APG - going for obscure non-advertised items can be cheaper too, as not paying for expensive TV commercials (gosh, I am so cynical at times) - but it depends whether or not items are, perhaps sometimes somewhat haphazardly, on msm/a.com/APG or not.
