but by saying 10% of £1 is 10p is really insulting like people can't work that out!
i'm going to go now as i'm not going to get in to an argument over it

If you had only bought n/a items plus the poos, your apg would have been £9.98. By buying the carrots you actually gained a penny due to the 10%.;)

aau1 is a grumpy (but incredibly helpful) Scotsman. You may think that he is taking the mick, but he isn't. He is an accountant who has spent many hours of his life trying to educate us exactly what the apg 10% is all about, so he gets a bit miffed when he has to try to explain it to us all, yet again..:rotfl:

Westy is also Scottish, however she is not grumpy at all and posts some of the loveliest stuff you will ever read on the elite thread. Any negative post you may see from her will be accidental as Westy never, ever posts anything dodgy or controversial.

SFSB is also Scottish, however, he is grumpy, controversial and extremely dodgy. You can expect to see all kinds of posts from him, just depends what kind of day he has had at work, what the kids have been like, whether he is in the DW's good books or not, whether he has had a glitch day or not. You know, all the normal elite stuff!!:):)

I know you don't want me resurrecting this, although I was about to burst in with the answer before anyone else in the class:D:rotfl::rotfl:(that's Asperger's too:)). I suppose my posting now is preferable to that...

13p less 10% is...

A 'little bit less' than 13p. Alternatively, 13p x 0.9 - or 11.7p. In other words the 12p carrot at A still isn't quite 10% cheaper than W and therefore it 'matches' you to the 10% cheaper price, which is either about the same 12p anyway - so that you lose nothing - or, more likely, helps round down to 11p on the shop and gives you a penny off. In order for A to be "at least" 10% cheaper than 13p, i.e. 11.7p, it has to be 11p. If it's 12p, it's not 10% cheaper - although it depends on your overall shop and how the fractions work out on the whole comparable part of your basket (on whichever comp. is relevant).

I bet that's confused everyone as usual...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D:wall::rotfl:

However, if you had put the carrot on a Morries comp, it would probably have compared 12p vs 12p instead of 12p vs 13p, so in that sense you're right, you lost about a penny!:rotfl: But it doesn't lose you any amount off whichever voucher amount you are getting vs W, it doesn't sort of make that carrot cost more, by 10% cheaper than 13p being more than what you originally paid for the carrot(s), because it isn't more. It's very slightly less.:D

aau1's never grumpy:).
And of course I understand the APG fully already just like aau1, so he's not educated me:p:rotfl::rotfl:. But yes, I have possibly the same feeling when having to explain again and again and again what I've already explained many threads ago, but then new people join us all the time and I can't assume they'll know. The first page post is supposed to explain the basic starters, though perhaps it should include more?:question::think: It's these things like whether bogo'f's are compared to on the APG or not, after I've already explained in detail the full position and explained that only certain ones do.

I can't assume it's easy for others just as it is for me. In fact: assume nothing:D. Like the post earlier about the futility of trying to explain to work colleagues. I think it's just beyond most people's comprehension and they just do not get it - and get bored and switch off if you try to explain more. My SA tonight - I had an incorrect receipt with me, but just scanned through the APG anyway, two out of three matched I guess:D.

I don't think many of their staff even know how the APG works or how we get the vouchers.:j:j
