    Definately the Fruit and Barley - APG descriptions are as others have posted. Check the barcodes I posted with yours from the bottles.

    HOWEVER - just realised the original glitch details stated 2 for £2.50 - mine were SEL'd and paid for at £1 each.

    Maybe some stores are pricing / selling differently ?

    I believe this is the reason why. APG sees you have paid £1 so is comparing £1 v £1. Where as we have paid £2.50 for 2 so APG tries to compare at this price but offer isn't on MSM so reverts to the full price without multi so show £1.68 v £1.00.

    The glitch is based on the missing multi buy, but when you have purchased there is no multi buy so no glitch activated.

    Hope this makes sense.

    My Asda shop from today. I shopped at 12.05.
    I threw a couple of Radox in to test and it worked :j:j Thanks DeeDee. The Mbuy WAS showing on MSL when I bought it so I guess I just got lucky? I'm not sure it would work now though?

    And I bought the wrong Robinsons orange. DOH! Saying that if I'd got the right one my APG would have gone over £10.

    APG £9.42
