    Just back from my further coke shops to find that there might be something much bigger going on. Can anyone explain the gist of what might be going on with the A v M thing and I'll investigate/test and see if I can add anything to help?

    Have my feet up now enjoying a beer. Isn't this glitching lark so much fun..:)

    Oh, and here's my meagre haul from today. I'm sure it is nothing compared to some of you nutters out there..:D

    SFSB, a womble was found last night..

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=66304479&postcount=1814

    It appears there is a crazy comparison vs M.

    Various tests shops later have proved 2 x chicken doesn't work.

    But on the back of this there seem to be a whole host of multi buy glitches vs M.

    Wombles are showing very odd multibuy groups. Nothing developed yet other than...

    1 x chicken
    1 x greek yoghurt
    =£1.50

    Just thinking out loud so bear with me

    Do you think it's only 2 for deals that are screwed up? What about 3 for?

    I'm sure i saw someone talking about jf 3 for deal in Morries but it wouldn't be of any use because apg wouldn't pick up the trigger

    Maybe (BIG BIG MAYBE) there is a perfect storm to be had here

    1 Keratin (or whatever the trigger was)
    2 jf
    Any 1 item from a cheap 3 for deal

    APG wont see the 3 for £10 multi in A but might compare to a 3 for £1 in M

    Is the ktc tomatoes tin on a 3 for £1 offer just now?

    Would have to have the APG collectors to have picked up the M mbuy on them. Hoping they have.

    They had done last week as I bought some. Online and my apg has been overwritten now :(

    can you have a look at sfsb receipt details please at the a v m and the caffeine free - something else is going on isn't it ???

    A v M
    1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Strawberry Stripes £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Sour Stripes (15g) £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar £0.10 N/A
    1 x Candyland Flumps Mallow Twists (12g) £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Haribo Starmix £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Diet Coke Citrus Zest (1.75L) £1.85 £1.85
    1 x Diet Coke Cherry (1.75L) £1.85 £1.85
    4 x Diet Coke Caffeine Free (1.75L) £7.40 £3.70
    2 x Diet Coke (1.75L) £3.70 N/A

    The Coke Cherry is on £1.85 bogo'f' in M, so 4x that has compared correctly to total £3.70 at M.
    The Citrus Zest and Cherry have not picked up the bogo'f' between them.
    The Diet Coke hasn't been picked up at all in M, or else they've put it into an offer with another item/s (which, the way we are going, could be anything:rotfl:) which has/have different individual pricing and hence thinks the bogo'f' on the Diet Coke is of a non-comparable ('difficult to compare') variety.

    There are no other items on the comparison that are in any different mbuys at M or which could give any other mbuy pricing.

    So, are Ready Salted crisps also a trigger?

    Those are the only two mbuys showing on the M side of the comp.!
    Receipt is from 11.56 this morning, and it's from England.

    So, for someone who asked earlier what was next, there's your answer: loo rolls that think they are crisps:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Oh - and they got me a trigger (how nice, didn't help though) - they bought the Ribena lollies with the Magnums, so the lollies make no appearance and the Magnums, fwiw, compare from full price.

    And chicken thinks its yoghurt
