    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

    would love to help but because of where we live, not driving and few shops, I sometimes dont go in a shop for several weeks:eek:, at the moment I think I have been in twice in nearly a month , my sons think I am scared of going out ,:rotfl: oh says no just lazy:eek:

    They did work in morries but that was about a week ten days ago. I got some in both my local stores but then they disappeared from the shelves so I havent been able to try since. It was on here but people just didnt react to it. Strange.

    from a womble
    A v M

    but surely this is wrong:eek:

    2 x Nestle Breakaway Bars (8 per pack - 152.8g)£1.70£4.94

    also on same womble, they have bought 3x cheese topped baguette @ 45p each, NO MULTIBUY on receipt, but it does show on APG so maybe we could try it in a V Sainbugs shop as it compares against Tosco (badly) but N/A v S,M & W.

    Apologies if my question has already been previously answered, but this is my first comment on this thread.

    With regards to COS, yesterday I purchased the Cider and Heinz soup, which were both free. I uploaded the receipt last night, but the status is still showing up as "Receipt received".

    Therefore, does it takes a number of days for the cashback to be successfully earned on COS?

    Thanks

    :D:rotfl:


    If you are looking to bump up your original spend, the Pringles should compare £2.48 vs £1. Salt & Vinegar was confirmed. Think I worked out they work out better per g. than the 84p crisps.

    I don't know about the laundry - I've considered it too risky to try. I'd better remove the S/P Minced Beef & Veg. Pasty from there (appears on the comp. as S/P Cornish Pasty) as I had a womble and it compared vs 38p at T but N/A vs M. For all of 3 or 4 pence:rotfl::rotfl:. The JF Oil Elixir is £6 each in M; I ought to add it to the list!

    Thanks Savvy, this is my results shame the Persil didn't work, but I should be getting a refund on the oils, which would put me in profit :)

    This is a CC order.

    I also bought 2 x 1.75 bottles of Diet Coke, but they haven't shown at all on the comparison :(

    Why £14.69?
