Careful with the finish today. The blue cleaner is not showing against teso. No multi showing for yellow & the rinse aid & both still showing 3 for £2 for me.

Deal has now been corrected in Tesco. It is now 342. I checked it at the till as well.

MSL is still showing yesterday's prices so I don't know if it will compare at Asda.

Trying to balance up between being sensible or dashing out to get some at Asda! So looking forward to the new Asda which will be ready near me in the New Year!

Morning everyone,





This is really interesting because as far as I'm aware these kind of deals (2 for the price of 1 or 3 for the price of 2) have never compared correctly before. Often they come back N/A. This is great news the APG is now starting to pick up these kind of offers :j

If prices are all the same then APG is supposed to recognise the deal

Of course, all this about BM and it's 'rules'/way of operation is just trite to me and completely obvious as first thing that comes to mind, straight away and immediately, as soon as the question is raised.

If anything though I'm just bored at answering the same questions again and again!:D:rotfl::rotfl:;);)

third and last time I'm going to help you with this

the forum converts all CAPS posts to lower case so sometimes a string of clappy hands smileys turns out like that if there is no other text

Try doing all CAPS smileys and then just stick a single random letter on the end and it should work

Thanks for you advice, but it is just now working for me. I have done with caps on, caps off, I have turned the computer off then on... sometimes if just does not work no matter. I have deleted some comments as it is played up, and then on the next one it has worked... it may be because I am over working it (or so OH says!).

Love you Aau1 and thanks for your help.

I think gremlins are in my lappy!!

Good morning everyone,
Hope you are all ok.

I've been AWOL for what feels like an age, I'm guessing I've got loads to cath up on. I'll have a quick scan back so apologies for the lack of thanks.

Missed you all, hugs and kisses to the lot of ya xx

Hi mrs stinkface
Hope you have been doing exciting things in your absence.
Dont know if you missed Logie had her results and they were good news.

Good morning all.

Such a sad day remembering all those no longer with us.

FC hope you DH made it to the service and know you had a great anniversary.

Sunshinemummy. No idea how you lost your "life" and hope it all works out for you next year. I recall your very kind welcome when I first posted and you always seem so upbeat, just shows that life is often hard.

Wish I had more to add in the way of bargains, but maybe one day.

This is incorrect (or at least it would be incorrect if it hadn't been qualified with the "as far as I'm aware" comment:D and, as it was, is therefore correct as it was a correct exposition of your understanding as far as I'm aware!).

Anyway, after the change just over a year ago, certain bogofs etc. did always compare - it was just that we were working out what ones did and what ones didn't. The T&Cs said about promotions "difficult to compare", which wasn't totally clear (for a while I just thought they meant the 'strawberries and cream free' situation as that had been specified before in the previous version of the T&Cs). Then after a few bogofs returned N/A, I assumed all bogofs would be N/A, yet someone else's were occasionally comparing. To be fair the T&Cs have been changed again, not always against our favour (unlike each change with T seems to be) but do now help by clarifying the matter.

Bogofs, 3 for 2s, etc. where the individual prices of items in the offer at the competitor are different do not compare. Bogofs etc. where the prices of all items (or if there is just one item) in the promotion at the rival are the same compare. Simple.

There is no 'problem' with 2 for £1 or 3 for £2.50 type of items and mix and matches there. An 'interesting' but different situation arises if there are two mbuys, for different quantities, on the same item though at A. (I'm talking about, and using that as, two different examples of the type of promotion I mean - not that they apply to the same item. But 2 for £1 on something. Or a 3 for £2.50 on something else completely. Not the two offers applying simultaneously to the same range.)

Good job the £6 or 2 for £6 on the Milk Tray at Sains. is styled as that, and not as a 'bogof', as the prices of other items in the mix and match with the MT at Sains. do vary.

And - Aau1 - you were wrong about 'and second at half price' on the Vitalites confusing msm!:rotfl:

A doesn't have bogofs, perhaps as it prefers customers to make a simple saving and not buy more than needed. However, occasionally you find the odd '£1.50 or any 2 for £1.50' on an item in A - isn't that the same thing?:) It's usually where there are a number of items in the same mbuy offer, and therefore it would affect in a different way if purchased other items e.g. another item in the 2 for £1.50 could be individually £1. (£1 on that or any 2 for £1.50 with mix and match possible.) Sometimes, for the same reason (or it isn't in actual practice when scanned, rather it's just because prices are changing;)), there are offers of the kind '£1 or any 2 for £3.00', which I very quite like a lot.:D
