    I try to steer clear of conflict on here but this comment really annoyed me
    DeeDee has recently found the Dove and the Radox glitch and now another dove glitch and this is the thanks she gets for her effort, people having a dig and then others liking it!! I wonder how many of those who thanked COTs post took advantage of DeeDees finds. I wouldn't blame DeeDee if she decided to stop sharing her finds on here, I sincerely hope she doesn't though as they've been a big help. People should shop as they feel comfortable and leave others to do the same!
    And people should feel able to post their thoughts and views on here as you have done. I honestly cant see why the comment annoyed you, from what I remember it didnt name anyone, or say the glitch should not be used, just that moderation is a good thing.

    I got some dove last time DeeDee found the glitch my APG was a little over £10. Thank you DeeDee for your hard work finding the glitches you have come in with fresh eyes and enthusiasm , and done some sterling work. I think everyone is just worried that you got a bit carried away on your APG amounts. Most newbies gets a little excited in the beginning , and the elite elders try and calm the newbies down. I don't think it is meant with malice just concern. FK was my elder elite who warned me to calm down.

    A case of what would people prefer?.....DeeDee to carry on the sterling work in finding and posting glitches enabling the rest of us to take advantage and police our own limits or DeeDee to keep to it all to herself and the rest of us miss out ? I know which I'd prefer :)

    Everyone takes advantage of glitches in their own way, some more than others, there is no right or wrong about it.

    My comment last night wasn't aimed at DeeDee or her finds.....More at the people who were advocating APGs that size. Would you post an APG of that size on here?
    I agree that deeDees finds have been brilliant, and she has been thanked accordingly by lots of people.
    I don't doubt that people will still get large online APGs, maybe even more will now after last night but this isn't the place to promote it.
    Finds by anyone are only any good if there's an APG to take advantage of them with.....

    Has anyone bought the Mullers in an A v M shop please?

    It shows on MSM as 10 for £3 in both Sada & Morribobs, no signage up in my local and scanned as the usual 68p each (£6.80) with a multibuy of .......

    Muller 5 for £3 8 for £4 - £1.44 coming off,

    what is the likely outcome of the APG on this now then please?

    tia

    I think very unlikely, but depends which ones you bought and how many different ones (fewer different ones may pick up mbuy for M but price collectors don't seem to be able to get every possible combination onto the system:(:(:(:(:().

    This was my idea though - if the old signage was still up. Forget comparing vs M, as 10 for £3 is unlikely to work (it may if you buy 10 all the same but even there...). My idea was to avoid that and actually compare against full price at T for example. But buying 8 if 8 for £4 still on shelf - yes I know this is more expensive than current offer of 10 for £3. Buy 8 for £5.44 (68p each) if SEL still includes "8 for £4" - inevitably will now miss the 10 for £3 mbuy as you're not getting ten. Then - overcharge! - SEL says should be £4:rotfl::rotfl:(laughing as...even though 10 would have been £3) so off to CS to be reset to £4:rotfl:, plus £2 GC:T = 8 for £2, SEL and CS permitting, then full price vs full price comp. on APG. Best you can get I feel.

    Not worked out if it's better or worse than 5 for £3 then 68p x5 vs half price x5 (or 6, 7?) elsewhere (back in day when 30-odd p each offer on in M rather than 10 for £3:(), as I can't calculate 9.9999...% vs 11.1111...%, I'll leave this to Aau1 to tell you if 8 for £4 charged at full price, with GC and APG (vs T, S or W would seem safer) works. May combine with a JF shop?:rotfl: If you get Mullers that compare to Waities, having failed to engage the 8 for £4 mbuy that is showing on the shelving.:rotfl: If that's so - that was on for ages so maybe some stores haven't changed it?:think:

    Edit: but if it actually scans at 8 for £4...:(. Is this in a supermarket/ex-Netto? They may have different pricing systems to others - need to find a bigger store with an 8 for £4 on the SEL where the offer is, in fact, 10 for £3 (which you now miss, and with any luck end up paying more than what SEL says).
