    Well my 'research' has revealed there's an item in one of my stores that has an mbuy price that is cheaper than the price for one. Showing no mbuy on a.com or msm, so I doubt that mbuy could be true. Sadly there is one solitary unit in stock, and not available elsewhere so no bloomin' use:(. I'll keep an eye on it - I doubt they'll come back in stock till after it's all unfavourable - bear with me as not mentioning the product - don't want to tip my store off to change it all and ruin it:cool:;).

    I was ready for some 'big-time glitching' too! Obviously those 3 for £1 kids sweets again:rotfl:. My clever possible shopping list included 1 Chewits Xtremely Sour Apple (30g), 1 Fruit-tella Crunchies (23g) and 2 Chupa Chups XXL Lollies (29g each). Noticed these are all on the same 4 for £1 in T and the Chupa Chups XXL Lollies also apparently on the 3 for £1 in A.

    [...]

    Good evening!:) Lots of catching up to do again I suspect.

    I've been back to my two nearby As. I found, sadly, some eagle-eyed member of staff has noticed the incorrect SEL on the Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action 4 Hour Treatment Cream (24ml). The SEL had said £6.50 and any 2 for £6:D. It is/was £4.66 in T until 7/4. Now the SEL just says £6.50:( and there had only ever been one single unit available all along:(:(. Probably always a single store error and it's been corrected now:(:(. :rotfl:I'm unhappy that they are doing their job properly:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Today I went to the other A first - they still had the 5 pack donuts showing 50p r'back (65p on a.com;)) but sadly had none of any type left. In the second store they had 65p on them:(, and typically only had the only version (Apple) that doesn't compare to T:(:rotfl:. (Might compare to M in 2s, but I wasn't doing an M shop, and didn't want more than one pack.)

    I think I may have found a trigger for the 3 for £1 sweets:rotfl::rotfl:. The Cadbury Dairy Milk Caramel single bar (45g) shows pricing elsewhere (including T) on msm but showing A as complete N/A (rather than, non-nicely, A as individual price and 3 for £1 out of stock). I noticed the CDM Caramel wasn't on a.com.

    My first store had no green cabbage (compare to T at 40p, now ending) and no CDM Caramel bar. They did have more of the rest of my shopping available though, so I just did a variation on my original shopping list but with no trigger (or merely possible trigger). Second store no green cabbage either. Both my stores were offering Tenderheart at expensive 50p price but I wanted 80p Green. Second store had the CDM Caramel bar but I'd already done my shopping by then and didn't need to do yet more. Or at least they had the CDM Caramel yesterday when I went to try to get my mix and match but didn't know about the CDM Caramel and wasn't sure it would work so didn't buy anything (booger!!:(:rotfl:). I should have gone for it yesterday but then other significant item for my shopping was missing in that store, typical!:rotfl:

    In case someone wants to try (and gives 3 items towards 8) and if no-one sees the CDM Caramel bar on msm for A, it's the following:

    One Chewits Extremely Sour apple (not fruit:( but sweets)
    One Fruit-tella Crunchies 23g
    Two Chupa Chups XXL lollies
    1 CDM Caramel bar (should pick up 3 for £1 instore with the 2 Chupa Chups)
    Vs Mr T.

    Big-time glitching:D:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I've no confirmation that it works as I didn't have the CDM Caramel in my store where I did my shopping tonight.

    Hey Karlie,

    I lurk a lot because of time constraints, but just needed to say it's good to see you posting. I hope all is well with you, and well done on sorting out the savings!

    On a side note, does anyone here work in IT and have any interview tips for me? I'm going for my dream job, and I just want to be super prepared! *bites nails*

    I asked OH as he works in IT. His advise was "give concise answers to questions and don't waffle". I'm not sure if it's just him or if lots of IT people have an aversion to waffle :D

    Good evening everyone... For those who use iPads is it possible to print from these? And do u install the coupon printer on it for super savvy coupons? Thinking of getting one instead of having a laptop. Any advise please? Thanks

    I've sent them a message on Facebook so will see what comes from that. I think you have to wait 7 days before raising a missing cashback claim

    I've had to do this with a missing cashback that never tracked - I think its week 3 now and I give them a nudge every couple do days but nothing seems to happen. They say they are waiting for a response from lastminite.com
    Think I might have to talk to them on FB again

    I have a horrible feeling mine isn't going to get tracked/paid. I spent 20mins faffing around choosing the horses by the time I placed my bet it was 1min past midnight hopefully the timing doesn't have anything to do with lack of tracking! The get reading one didn't pay for ages had to email them about that one as well, so far not impressed!
