I don't know how I've missed the posts on some things because I was sure that I read every one, it takes me ages to catch up but I'm not lazy.

What is the deal with the cod? Please.



Can I ask what the ham glitch is please?



Could I also ask what the deal is on the prawn crackers?



Does that mean buy the trigger spray and anything in the 2 for £2 or does it have to be the Germ Blaster (sorry for newbie questions )

Last question first, anything that compares well against whoever your shop is against (your 'chosen competitor'). Ideally high on A full individual price (so tend to go for the £1.98 any 2 for 2 rather than the £1.50 any 2 for £2 items) and cheap elsewhere (about £1 or lower in the targetted store).

So, I think it could be one of the Harpic Power Plus toilet cleaners again, vs M (not Northern Ireland). £1.98 individual A (and 2 for £2) - buy one only with trigger. 99p M.

The trigger does not count as one of the 8 items though, so you need to get at least 9 items including the trigger - and would then need all 8 others to appear so maybe buy a few more to be on safe side.

The other questions - in order:

The Cod is 84p in T for slightly lower quality (so compares APG vs 90p T. A £13.33/kg or so on mbuy price, over £16/kg:eek: on single price; T £6/kg).

Ham glitch - I don't know - probably just 'good' comparison. (But probably still way more expensive price per unit than S/P price, so I've no idea why people go for on a pure money-saving viewpoint.)

They compare to T at 15p (I assume). Simple. No other answer needed to it.

I use flexicover. You can put all your illnesses on, then choose which ones you want covering (eg, although I have to declare my sons fungal toenails, we're hardly likely for him to be rushed to hospital with then, so choose to exclude them!). Even for bigger stuff like my bladder issues, I've found them very reasonable, and it only seems to be about £3 extra to cover stuff like that.

Thanks your a star:T:T:T:T

Savvy, was thinking of you earlier
I remember a post (or ten) on her a while back when freeview made us all retune our TV channels
I vaguely remember you asking what would happen to the old channels if people didn't retune?
One TV in our house has cbeebies on channel 121 and the other has it on 71 (the latter wasn't retuned)
All the old channels are in the old places on the second TV and have been since the date we were meant to retune it and didn't bother.

From a Womble dated 20/02/15 at 14:06
GLITCH: but a small one on Doritos.....but not sure whether the TRIGGER is a dip at 300g or bag of Doritos at 200g.
On the receipt are 2 Doritos products at £2.28 each / 2 for £3.50.
2 products on receipt just show:
DORITOS 500032863732L £2.28D
DORITOS 500032849954L £2.28V
on the APG looking at AvT (not it was a £91.14 spend which overall gave zilch back):
1 x Walkers Doritos Cool Sour Cream & Chives Dip (300g... £2.28 £1.00
MSM is showing the Dips and Crisps in 2 for £3.
Therefore if you can work out which of the 2 purchased barcodes IS on the receipt. Then the other one is a TRIGGER.
Pay £3.50 for 2 products get back £2.28 - £1.00 + 10p = £2.12 for both

Good lord!:rotfl: £1.06 each?!?:eek: The Doritos packs and dips go down to £1 straight offer prices elsewhere - so why would you?!?:huh:

Seems so expensive as not helped by A's really high 2 for £3.50 price.

Sorry, misreading it! £3.50-£2.12 = about 69p each. Still too expensive given that they were got for free recently:rotfl:!

Still I feel that too high mbuy price. £1.75 each on mbuy? On products that have offers of £1. It's the commonplace inflate the price thing then put on mbuy to suggest a saving. I'm unamazed again by how many people buy at 2 for £3.50 - last womble I had had that! The invisible trigger route again never as good as two items at high full price vs cheap elsewhere, but at least it's better than £1 each on this route!

Oh, that's ages ago - I'd forgotten about that!
Don't get me onto how digital is a much inferior system - about how the commercial radio industry bodies were promoting the "quality" of digital before it's launch despite the vast majority of people being unable to detect any difference, in some cases the quality being inferior and 'you either get it or you don't' - in some areas, there would be no signal at all now, rather than at least there was a crackly FM reception available previously (or actually better than crackly, very audible even if only got that in mono - but I think there was more availability of channels in the past - can we still be a DX'er today?:think: I doubt it). And now the number of channels on digital that, to cut costs, have been changed to a mono-only signal anyway. Plus the fact the BBC clock was out by 5 seconds yesterday (5 seconds too slow) - I think the digital signal takes longer to reach us!:rotfl:

My view still is that it is an inferior system that we (the viewers/listeners) were forced to adopt. I don't accept any of the claims that were made about it at the time - yet again I refuse to believe the marketing and I think that people generally were hoodwinked by being informed to believe something untrue, by the advertising again. Very easy with such a stupid population:rotfl:.

And how things are tinkered and changed in a way that is supposedly for our "benefit" when it simply makes them worse than before (IMO). My bugbear is display of emails by the systems and the formatting of websites. None of which are any better - and I wish they'd revert to the old way - as seem to have adopted that terrible Windows 8 touchpad view:(. Not a fan.
