Weird

i wasnt sure if you saw my earlier posts or not :beer:

I thanked the posts, and managed not to throw the computer at the wall.

I have done everything, caps on, caps off...even looked at the function keys. But come to the conclusion my lappy is possessed by the devil itself!

I really am technically incapable... it look me 4 months from getting the lappy to managing to switch it on!

Thanks for you support and patience xx

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

What are you blethering about? :huh:

When did i say that? :huh:

Has this deal actually happened?

I don't think so - just back from a UB shop and the sel was £1.90. I got a pack checked at the till and £1.90 seems to be the current price. Pity.

Regarding Morries prices, prices are collected twice a week (usu. Monday and Wednesday, i.e. unless it's bank holiday week) and updated by Wednesday and Friday. Offers in M usually end on Sundays, but the prices work on APG until Monday (morning?) as the system isn't updated till later (Monday evening/Tuesday onwards??). But if you shop in A on Monday, when offer in M is technically expired, I think you need to check the receipt before the update from Monday's collection is done. (Bank holidays, shop for now expired Sunday-end offers may be through till Tuesday.) If you shop on the Sunday, shouldn't be a problem (aside from the usu. N/A thing on the odd item) as receipt date indicates to APG what prices to use (i.e. will go by Sunday, rather than Monday which may have updated if you check later in the week). Not really much use - just a possible extra (bit of a) day to shop for an M offer in A if you missed it.

That's it - explained again, little fed up of doing so as it's just completely known obviousness to me that I keep needing to repeat time and again!:rotfl::rotfl: Hopefully help some Newbies!:):)

You did make reference along the lines of '£1.10 and second for half price' offers at competitor doubtless making the APG struggle, which I took to mean they risked returning N/A. I can't point you exactly to where, as it was some time ago but I remember(:eek::eek:) you saying something along those lines. May not have been specifically addressed to the Vitalites.

Highlight - I'm a silly soul occasionally (needed slapping with a wet cushion from time to time there. Many thanks!):cool::D.

Kind of... The mean average will be a fraction of a bone below a full complement as some skeletons have bones missing and you don't tend to get skeletons with extra bones
