    Can anyone offer any wisdom as to why the following wouldn't compare?
    The Nakd bars are 4 for the price of 3 in Tesco so I bought 4 in ASDA with my Sanex shop, but it came back N/A? Any ideas?

    4 x Nakd Cocoa Orange Gluten Free Bar (35g)£2.40N/A

    Different priced items in the 4 for 3 offer in T - APG will only compare where the same priced items are in a cross range 4 for 3 type offer if I recall correctly.

    That's wonderful FC. Well done you.

    You've come so far so quickly:T

    Thank you :o I haven't come as far as I'd have liked because I keep missing weeks with one thing and another. My instructor is an :A and he puts up with me :o
    That said, we have struck up an odd but nice relationship :) he is semi-retired and goes away alot too. He didn't know my Dad, but we both know mutual people who did, so we have nice conversations whilst we are up there :)

    Thanks, I also tried with some gluten free bread rolls on another shop and that also came back N/A. I will step away from the free from aisle now. :o

    Yup, APG can cope with prices in a competitor being 3 for £2 or 2 for £5 or x for £y because every item can be assigned an equal cost (i.e. 67p, £2.50, y/x in the above examples). In this case it doesn't matter how much each individual item is in the competitor

    If there is a 2 for 1 and absolutely everything is £3 each then it's easy for APG to say that the multibuy price is £1.50 each. Or if it's a 3 for 2 and everything is £3 then APG recognises £2 each as the multibuy price

    But if the competitor has a mix of prices in a 2 for 1, 3 for 2, etc deal then the APG system goes kablooey!

    I saw your earlier post and that you'd made a purchase, but I didn't like to say before your results came in so as not to knock your attempt :( The candles are RTC in store, therefore the APG system would only ever pick up the RTC price when buying in store.

    However if buying online it would see the £8 price and would have compared favourably. It's usually this way with RTC items I'm afraid.

    This is why most if not all of DDs finds are HD/CC only.
