    Yay I have my badge :j

    Good morning :)

    I have an idea for glitch spotting. If each of us was responsible for monitoring the prices of 1 set of items it would be easy to spot a glitch if one appeared.

    Let me explain - one type of glitch is where there is a multibuy on a product instore that isn't picked up by the APG. I think this would be the easiest glitch to spot. For example, Dettol spray costing £2 each or £2 for £2.50 and £1 in another store would give a £2.20 return for £2.50 spent on 2 Dettol products.

    What needs to happen is for someone to monitor a particular product and go instore on price change day and check for any suddenly appearing multibuys. If there is one and that product is cheaper elsewhere than the full price in Sada we have a glitch. It's spotted and reported on the day by the person responsible for that product :cool:

    I'd be happy to monitor all Dettol products and if that's easily manageable I might add other products to my watched items. Even if we all only watched one item there's enough of us to easily cover all the important essentials such as dishwasher tabs, toilet tissue etc. we'd each need to go to Sada on Wednesday to check the prices. I'm not sure if there's another price change day?

    Perhaps also we could have more than one person for the same product as it wouldn't be good for people to feel pressure to go to Sada if they didn't feel upto it on that day.

    What do others think and do I have any volunteers to monitor a particular product?:D

    Good luck on that one :cool:

    I understood the offers ended 2/11 but all the offers seem to have changed on the app and now replaced with fewer new lower bonus points offers. Highest seems to be 1000 points on a couple of items including Birds Eye peas and Fish Fingers. Maybe offers are still instore until close of play today?

    From this are we to deduce that they are going to switch some offers to points rather than their normal price reductions? If so, it will be a case of watching for price reductions elsewhere with bonus M&M (as we did with Hardy's) as we are then potentially getting a double reduction (which in some cases will work out cheaper than A +10%).

    Yes, same here, 1000 on the BE is the highest value in points on my app. Possible that they may switch some price cuts to points, we'll wait and see ;)

    I'm off to look for signage in store
