Many years ago I had a funny rattling noise coming from under the bonnet of my old shed of a Metro , I was staying with friends in Derbyshire and we had gone to Meadowhall shopping.
Called the AA out (did our shopping in the meantime), very nice man came and opened the bonnet...to my utter shame the bonnet stay had come loose and was rattling:o:o

Good shop, except Giant Yorkshire Pud is vs Morries:p(:rotfl:) and wrong own brand cheesecake! Also I think cream should be different size and I'd never get Roberts loaf and compare vs that price(:eek:)! Is Morries result for the Yorkshires available on that shop? Many thanks!
Nice result on the Heinz foods. So, I make it you pay 12 for £3.00 on the Heinz, and then get about £2.70 back (£4.90-£2.50 + 25p 10%) (£2.65) plus 4.9p (10% on the 49p vs 49p item) (making it 30p net for the 12 tins or 2.5p each, depending on what other items you get and whether they offset your APG).
This arguably isn't a glitch, strictly speaking. Instead it's the way the system is operating and, moreover, how it should operate, running in accordance with and following the terms and conditions. It's their own 'fault' for restricting comparisons to maximum 10 of the same item per shop. As your eleventh item of the same one is excluded, quite rightly and properly under their T&Cs (which we are following and acting in accordance with here:D), only 10 of the same item can be counted and how else could it be counted except at full individual prices, added together, for the 10? It can't be said that any multibuy could apply to those 10 items, or with the other valid purchase of the one Heinz Cheesecake version that has to be included within the APG comparison, that that would give any multibuy under the comparison. The twelfth item being one that, helpfully, is excluded from the APG:j. And, at the same time, we've bought ten validly to compare vs one T multibuy!:rotfl::j:j
More fool them if they want to (or even have to?*) exclude some items we buy from the APG, and if they happen to be part of a multibuy on our receipts for instance. Keep using the APG within its terms and following the rule, as we do!, that, on other occasions, for instance "triggers" do not count towards the 8 items. I always follow that rule - cheeky so and sos make me buy an extra item from them (perhaps a slither of ginger) in order to get the full price comparison to the competitor that validly applies under the following of the T&Cs (and therefore isn't really a 'glitch' at all!). Complying with their own terms and conditions we are.
* Such as T&C no. 2.0 -

This is why the glitch works (only comparing 10 of the same item).
Your jars still added 71p to you APG.
If this is the case then am I correct in thinking if I bought 11 strawberry yoghurt and 1 other the APG system would see I had bought 10 and 1 and therefore think I had paid £7.90 for the 10 and compare to T at 10 for £6??

It's stupid that system, and making rude something that isn't! (Surely if anyone offended by "the word" who won't be offended by the name of the town, as that is the name of the town and has no offensive connotations, now will be offended by the 'censored' version as it is now reminding them of and bringing to mind the offensive 'horrible' word. It's giving it a connotation and reminder of something never there before, especially as the part exclamationed out exclusively concerns itself with that area of the word.)
I'm afraid I must be reminded of this word from the exclamationed thing and now therefore take offence at it.:D Please can you delete the offensive exclamationed thing and replace it with the innocent name of the town.
Oh, I can feel my heart beating now - offensive "causing anger or annoyance" - Collins Dictionary.
It's offensive.
Bye bye.:)0
