    Close!:rotfl: It's £45.63 point 9, so that rounds down to £45.63 in order to be "at least" 10% cheaper (£45.64 is not 10% cheaper, if only by 0.1p) and therefore 1p more APG than your figure!:rotfl::rotfl:

    Has anyone else seen the general glitch on the APG that I noticed the other day? That, when a competitor comparable bill ends in a zero, in other words exactly divisible by ten and you would therefore have thought that it would add 10% of that, in fact it's adding 10% plus a penny (still rounding up to next penny even when on .0p):rotfl::rotfl:, so that's why I'm suggesting SP Lager even though now 90p in A might be best 90p vs £1 M (if it compares) or vs safe £1 T as it will actually give a penny even when it's exactly 10% cheaper than the competitor! (Assuming, of course, that the rest of the comparable shopping is exactly 10% cheaper than the same competitor, or otherwise that the comparable bill for the rival ends in a zero - and that, in every case, you buy enough qualifying items to qualify for an APG in the first place.)

    so writing it as a number it would read £45.63.9 don't look right to me. unless you mean by the POINT a decimal place. :rotfl:

    Does this (from msm)
    314961.jpg?v=9

    now look like this in A:

    271614011_0_140x140.jpg?identifier=1a134e5a82f7d2c84bbbb439cc44f4ce


    If this is the one due to go on offer, it is £6 in M (34 tablets). However, the M ones at £6, as can be seen on m.com, are Finish White & Shine Protect All in 1 Max (the second picture) rather than Finish All in 1 (the first picture)? The first is in a box and the second is more like in a pouch.

    I therefore don't think they're the same, sadly. Or am I being too pedantic? Thinking msm has wrongly got a price of £6 from m.com on the other version. So that, therefore, as the only 34 packs in M are the White & Shine Protects, this would be N/A from instore as it's not the ones in A. :idea:Are they the same B/Cs in both A and M?

    I did it like that so that it made it more obvious than writing £45.639! (It's forty-five pounds and sixty-three point nine pence.) Anyway, good night to you!:wave::beer: (I'm staying yet, for a while.)

    And, a silly one:rotfl::rotfl::

    A £10 vs M RTC £1:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Is this Garnier Ultimate Blends Marvellous Transformer Oil 150ml - it says Marvellous Glow Oil on msm (and the picture also says that) - are they one and the same thing or is there something called Marvellous Transformer Oil which is a different thing and is the one in M?

    318221.jpg?v=5

    Perhaps I ought to pay more attention:rotfl:.

    Yes, that's it - the Fox's Rocky Biscuits (8:( per pack), which were on 80p offer - too dear, especially for just an 8 pack instead of previous 9 of several years ago and therefore never even made it to the list - they have now gone back up to their "everyday low price" of £1:rotfl:. No, thank you - I'm not having an even higher "low" price!:)

    Cadbury Twinpots 5 for £2 in M, which is almost (not quite) the old 78p bogo'f' price. Need to be very careful, especially regarding mix and match, vs M. Do not get Pebbles version - that is not stocked in M! And if you get five, and just one of your versions returns N/A vs M, the whole rest will return M at full price!:eek:

    Jelly Popping Candy showing OOS for A? In fact showing old A price of straight 50p - any way we can use 50ps now that price for A on the others is expensive 4 for £3:eek:? Jelly Popping Candy is stocked in M, and is on the 5 for £2 offer there, but, due to its OOS nature on msm for A, it has been left off of the list.

    Once again - and do we know if this works? - may go with Ariel 592mls:laugh: - M Reduced Sugar Orange Marmalade (415g) at £1.19 and 500 "More" points. Ought to compare vs T's 340g (T 59p), within the 20% M&M weight range, meaning vs 72p approx. and then 50p in points. If that works, 22p for a jar.
