And Tesco will have a field day shouting that Asda can't cope with Ts competition !

I've always thought that Sada can afford to make the 10% claim simply because they don't spit conditional spend vouchers out year round

That is why T and S are more expensive, because they need to make a profit after £3/20, £4/£30, £5/40 spits are taken off

Also Mr T and S have their loyalty point schemes to support

A removes the faffing about with points and coupons by simply offering lower prices

Price lock and APG are two different ways that two different consumers can witness this in action

I'm fed up to the back teeth with Asda and their perishing APG system ! I got the cheese (the trigger plus the seriously strong) and 8 other tems. I know the trigger won't count but I still had 9 items - and they were all things that have worked before (little 10p chocs, onion, custard, jelly etc etc) . But, you've guessed it .. 'not enough items' !

Well, thats about the 4th time in 2 weeks that I've had that happen when I've clearly had 9 or 10 items . Their system is unreliable. I'm going to take the whole lot back to CS, get them to void it and get them to put it all through again with a couple of extra bits (I'll be re-buying the same cheese so there won't be any wastage!)

I always get one or 2 extra items to be on the safe side but, at this rate, I'll be getting a dozen or more extras. I don't mind taking a hit when its my own fault but this is getting silly.

Wonders if using branded fillers, and checking weights compare, before shopping, maybe the answer to this ?

Do you use the app? It does this sometimes to me but I just rescan and it usually works.
I usually add bits of actual shopping I need in with it so end up with around 12 items

No, I did it on my main computer.

Just been told ASDA are ending the APG.

All the marketing is now going to be based on the 'price lock' and 'more low prices'.

Not sure when its finishing - but it is when not if!

Please don't all shoot the messenger.

Does this set alarm bells ringing :eek:
