    A succession of "Great news"s:(:(:(. Those 50p 'rback' biscuits are hindering:(.

    From another receipt - current comparison vs Sainsbobs:
    2 x Maltesers Malteaster Bunnies & Egg (314g)£12.00£16.00
    Shows as any 2 for £10:( for T.

    We have a confirmed trigger to the A offer more generally though (see my post above, #8834). Right, I am going out now!:rotfl: I'll be back later and I'll look forward to you good people posting and telling me what the trigger egg is when I get back. TIA!!:D:D:wave:

    I too, need cereal but hate having to pay these silly prices after it was only 34p in the Asda glitch. I now tend to eat toast more for b'fast and have cereal as a treat - how sad it is? Healthier as well. Had a good whoopsie shop on wed in tesco. I have come to the conclusion that my best whoopsie shops are always midweek in the school hols. All fruit and veg 3p, 5p and 10p. Got finest flowers for 25p. Was really annoyed when I come out of tesco as oh said tyres needed checking and had to pay 20p for air. I am sure there is one garage that gives it free - anyone know which one this is. I know it is only pennies but every little helps! Tried googling but nothing recent. Just received 4 nectar vouchers for 250points when you spend a least £1 at BP station. Can't decided whether to get £5 worth of petrol or look for something £1 in the shop. Anybody else had these?

    The Victoria sponge that is £4.00 in A is now comparing to sainsbugs for £1.75 :):)

    Which one is this?

    :o

    Does that make the final price of the cake about £1?

    Yeah you'll probably still do okay as these meal deals compare from full prices. Hopefully the Spam for M will be picked up and won't return vs M at full price:).

    Right, there is a trigger here, as they bought on 3 for £10. Shop 9.30 this morning.

    Easter eggs are:
    Two that are each styled "Cadbury" on the receipt - both begin with 762221. One ends 004490 (and missing digit), the other 004748 (missing digit at end).
    The third egg - begins 761303. And ends 448020:rotfl: (plus missing digit). I've not missed anything out, apart from the digit that isn't on the receipt, but I prefer to 'disguise' the B/Cs a bit rather than give them in full.

    So - what product is the trigger?;) TIA!

    They work though, don't they? These expensive 'any 3 for £5' cereal 'offers':eek: that still work out at over 30p/100g, compared to my guide of 20p/100g. The Coco Pops for example sometimes go down to £1.34 elsewhere - and yet the '3 for...' sees them buying three packs of cereal and, in total, paying around 90p more expensive than they would pay if they bought at straight offer price when they went on offer elsewhere. Not too mention paying way more, as got an extra two packs and more money to profit on that, when just one, at a half price offer, some other time would have done. Not just that, but these deals are often funded by the manufacturers - it helps increase the manufacturer's market share and shift the number of units from out of their factories. So much so that, with an 'offer' like this one, selling three times what you would have bought if it were a 'half price', the manufacturers often give packs to the stores. The supermarkets can negotiate, with a mbuy that helps increase sales, special deals with the manufacturers under which the manufacturers give some packs to the store for nowt. So it actually may have cost Mr A nothing,and that customer has paid them five quid, for cereal that is way expensive on unit price and far more than the best offers that come on elsewhere.

    [Edit: Actually, no, £1.66 for 750g is 22.1p/100g, so it's not as bad as it could be. I think that 3 for £9:offer: is the one that is even worse on the unit price score. Yet, paying that by having to buy three! Still wait for best price on [I]single[/I] pack purchase elsewhere. Or better of course the glitches. Next on my 'cereal line' btw: three packs of those Special Ks in a row:rotfl::D]
