    No, the radox trigger is the tiny can of Lynx Africa

    I thought about this earlier - but nevertheless went for it;) - and felt the Radox and small deo. - bit of a rip-off aren't they really?

    It's costing £3 and then just (£1.90 - 90p) x2 back! In other words, cost of £1 for the three!:eek::eek:_pale_:rotfl:

    Of course that's about 33.3...p. Yet that cost, for a very small 35ml deo, is way too much. It works out at £1.42 for 150ml!:eek: You can get deos, of 100ml more than that, eg Right Guard, even at A's cheapest-of-all-the-major-supermarkets expensive non-glitched shelf price, for cheaper than that. So, given that there is an absolute massive overpayment on the 35ml deo., even after the glitch, it should be 35p for 250ml:rotfl:, then really I have to offset that and take account of the Radox price. If I'm overpaying drastically on the deo., then I would need to save more than that on the Radoxes.

    Based on my, wholly unrealistic, price expectation of 35p for 250ml, i.e. 4.9p per 35ml, namely a 28.43...p overpayment, I should have to save over 14p on each Radox. The Radox 500mls are at 33.3...p yet SP Foam Bath 500ml, when that was available, was 44p (and then 10% off that vs T or M back in the day). In short, I'm not saving more than 14p off that compared to the 10% off on the SP Foam Bath, as was, and could still have lasted through to today. So, may as well have bought SP Foam Bath a few years ago and would then have saved far more!!(:rotfl::p:rotfl:)

    I didn't know the trigger on this mbuy earlier on and started looking a.com vs msm, but then decided it was far quicker to come to this thread and try and find it. Very helpfully, just as I'd done so, someone had posted to suggest the Lynx Africa 35ml (like one of those 'travel' ones - i.e., rip off:rotfl:) was the item. If people's other posts are accurate, I see that Lynx Apollo also works. I saw 74 items on msm (in and out) but only 65 on a.com - so, do we have the details of the 9 triggers?:rotfl: It would also be very useful to know which of the Radoxes are confirmed as comparing vs Morries - I know we've seen about 3 of them - and I know what msm is showing for Morries but that isn't any help as to which have actually been picked up and are comparing against M on the APG.

    Thanks for keeping me right i would hve totally messed that up:eek: but i see now how it works and they all compare to the same shop so you get crunchy, radox and deo (ithink) with 1` shop or it might be better to do separate to keep below the radar with the apg.

    Is the Dove/Mitchum combo. also vs M?:think: [Edit: answer no, it's not!]

    Crunchy Nut and cereal bars is, so if it was one single shop would have to be all vs M.

    If it is all one single shop, then I don't see much of a problem with voucher amount, particularly due to the expensive cost you still end up paying on the Radox:rotfl:, and the Crunchy Nut/cereal bars work out at 84p, so not like you're getting back more than paid or anything.

    28p for Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes (of this size) is excellent - best since the big 3 for '2' glitching. And 28p on cereal bars, such as Cadbury Brunch, also beats the about 40p or 80-odd p, I forget which, that a previous glitch a year or two (or probably more - time flies by:eek:) worked out at. (It's also better than expensive SP Cereal Bars on 40p RTC which have now reappeared at 74p_pale_:rotfl:.)

    The 'one shop' approach, [Strike]assuming the Dove/Mitchum is vs M and I haven't caught up with that one as not going for it myself,[/Strike] [EDIT: Do not include Dove/Mitchum as that's vs T] would also seem best as not having to do two shops with lots of fiddly fillers on each due to items not counting. Whereas this one shop seems to have the benefit of helping to get (almost) around 8 items without having to add much else - two different Radoxes, two diff. Cereal Bars, is the Dove a couple there?, two more items and done (one of which could be Drifters bars: Fox Rocky Mint doesn't count).

    1X brussel sprout @ 3p is a good filler :D

    Apparently these are in Tosco, scanning in at 1p

    The problem is the [STRIKE]over zealous minions[/STRIKE] Checkout Assistants letting you purchase them.

    1p items are discontinued and should be destroyed

    Looks good to me, as Lynx Apollo 35ml not there but I'd have to go through the offer items and confirm it wasn't there on msm before I could say whether it might be.

    I'm not lost on those sites, just that it would take an undue amount of time to go through it all, with my utter completeness and perfection and not stopping until the job is fully done. If I did that on every glitch, I would be dithering and procrastinating right at the very time when action was called for, and would never ever get round to going out and completing any shopping and would all be over by the time I got there! So, I could sort it all out, but it would just take up quite some time.

    I have read your post and you go to great lenths for the detail but im ok with what i do for work and rubbish on comparison glitches so you lot are my angels.:A

    I bulk buy electricals, clothing and anything that i see as a good unit price that is why i posted the darkside link a couple of hours ago i have 250 units now @£1.20 per unit.

    Thanks everyone for the details on the Radoxs vs M, unfortunately I'm procrastinating on the task of collating them all together at the moment, so 'fraid you'll have to wait on that, if I ever get round to it, but I understand Radox Black Pepper & Ginseng; Radox Clary Sage; Radox Rosemary; Radox Eastern Spirit work. And I think I've seen at least one other?

    Obviously only two in total (one each of two different, helps to get 8 items that way;)) on any one shop (may be selected from the above), plus the trigger, or it would see the mbuy.
