Hello Everybody,

I am a student who is just starting to try all these neat ways to save a bit of money on this forum!
I have probably a silly question, but I am a bit confused with all these numbers!

When you guys do posts like this, is the first price what you paid, and the second price what it was somewhere else? Or do they represent how much you will get in a voucher?
Or neither of those options?
I'd be very grateful if someone could give a numpty's explanation for these lists!

Welcome Volbeat

The first price is Asda and the second sainsbury as stated at the top - the shop comparison

I do think that this has found something though - that, where an item is on a lower price than the mbuy, the system thinks they were bought at non-mbuy pricing and doesn't pick up the mbuy - unless presumably you are hitting the mbuy on that one item as in system has individual price £1 and any 2 for £4 mbuy (during transitional stage in between price change updating), e.g. the Doritos last week.

Presumably you need one at 'cheap' price (below the mbuy price equivalent) and other items at high price (why would you do it any other way?) and only hit one store mbuy across the mix, and none on the APG system, i.e. must miss the mbuy number on the higher price ones taken alone and must miss the mbuy number on the 'cheap' item taken alone, cannot get for example 3 at high price then a further 2 high price and one cheap as would hit 3 for £3 on one set of 3 of the higher price items.

That was my thought too. Guess it's new and interesting info to get our heads around...

Welcome! :wave:

In a post like that the op has copied and pasted what was on the apg site. Most people put v S, T, W or M above it so you know who it compared with.
First price is the price in A, second is the comparison.

N/A means there is no available comparison for that product in that shop.

That's the basics. Read on for the more interesting.

Ok thank you
I don't have a nearby Morrisons so the points bonuses aren't available for me. Am I right in thinking that all the posts about biscuits lol, are because they will give you a decent amount back from the APG (I guess that is Asda Price Guarantee, am I learning? )?

Top tip - in T they sell an emergency car light bulb kit for £4 which contains a range of standard bulbs - I had paid £9 odd for one headlight main beam from Halfords two weeks previously :eek: then when a second bulb went I spotted this .

Worth getting even if you never need the other bulbs just for the headlight one .

HTH

Anon

Thanks Anon but my car is 1999 sporty model with upgraded light kit so tend to need special bulbs. Will look at that pack for my 'normal' car though

The biscuits are to do with Morrison price match scheme - match and More not the APG. Keep reading you will learn - good luck

Just a heads up that Boots sale likely to go to 90% tomorrow if your locals have any stock

Failing that it would be Wed 4th Feb

I was just wondering (as you do) how many packets of Morribobs free biccies have found a new home today? A few hundred? Over a thousand? Even more?

Anyway, on that thought - nighty night:)

Sorry, Volbeat, needed to plug tablet in.

Also meant to say that voucher is calculated by @ price minus 90% of competitor price. (as it should be 10% less than competitor price)

I.e.
Squash 2.00 1.00

Voucher would be calculated as follows

90% of competitor is 0.9

So 2-0.9=1.10

APG of 1.10
