:eek: Have no idea what you have been up to.

Just logged on to say haven't drowned in my bath. . And to say to David. of course I managed to get my leg over.

I'm travelling back from Stoke 1st class after dropping Dd2s car back to her. Bit disappointed no meals weekends on Virgin trains. I left home without breakfast this morning. Still snack box not to be sneezed at.

Anyone any idea how long takes to get euston to Waterloo? Hoping to use first class lounge at euston as south west trains give you zilch! :eek:

I've now finished my post that I was constructing, but felt it better to delete the original and to repost the now whole lot here (as I suspect people otherwise miss it).

I don't think this would work.I think you you pay £5.04 for 9.
Haven't tried it though.:D

I agree. Unless there is something I'm missing.
I'm not sure if my last point (about the 'buying 12') was missed - I don't think you get 12 for £6 but instead 10 for £4 plus two at full price 68p each, which is actually cheaper, but I was referring to something similar - or, rather, a bit of a different situation, where the mbuy benefit from buying more is quite small although, yes, if people miss it, every time any customer misses it the supermarket is making those few extra pence on every unit sold which, over all its customers, adds up to quite a sum extra. Yet, for example, those people that are got into buying 4 Cadbury Twinpots because of the £3 mbuy, which only makes a 'saving' of three pence on a pot. May as well just buy one at 78p rather than be caught into the mbuy trap and be paying them £3 for four times over. Total money spent = £2.22 more for the extra three beyond the one you really wanted. Or the old comparison vs the (appears now expired) Morries mbuy on the Jelly Beans - at 3 for £2.20 (used to be 3 for £2 years ago), that is 73.3333...p, which is hardly much of a 'saving' off the 75p individual price - might as well just compare one as it's barely a penny difference (10% off 75p = 67.5p but, depending on what else you buy, that may round down to 67p in order to be 'at least' 10% cheaper, as opposed to 10% off 73.3333...p = 66p (or, rather, three times that amount assuming it picked up the M mbuy - I think this is expired now, I think they are straight 75p price in M).

Of course the twinpots at 78p and mbuy are much more expensive than the 50p individual price that they go down to - may have something to say on this point below.

Do we know which, if any (and I hope it is at least "any"), of those are comparing against M at £1.49?
£1.49 eh. I had a thought about this earlier today - they ought really to have them at £1 somewhere rather than expensive £1.49 prices. In respect of which, A's price!!:eek: Were they not £1 each in A earlier in the year? Now £2.98 individual price in A, nearly three times as much! Obviously the ONS must not have coffee sachets in their inflation statistics. And, with paying nearly three times over the odds, compared to what may have been A's price, if my recollection is correct, for one pack and an mbuy price that still sees muggles paying twice as much and then paying again for a second pack at twice the cost in order to get the mbuy. And which is still more expensive than the individual cost elsewhere. Of course now is a 'right' time to buy, due to the glitch, and is better than the £1 of early in the year but therefore really ought to be £1 elsewhere rather than their expensive £1.49!(:rotfl:)

However it seems to me that Mr A in particular, that seems to me to specialise more in mbuys than in the other stores' "half price" offers (achieved after putting the price up for a few weeks), does very well out of mbuy offers from the muggles. They seem to cost more than previous individual prices, and then have people buying at over the odds and then buying even more (to get the mbuy), again over the odds. The usual method appears to be to have an inflated individual price and then have an mbuy that's still more expensive than a previous individual price, but less than the now way inflated individual price in order to suggest to people that they are making a "saving". (And, indeed, then expressly to say so on the receipts as "mbuy savings".) Have we now worked them out and caught them out on what some may call one of their games?

Not savings at all are they? Not compared to previous lower individual prices.

Is every mbuy an inflated price? We've had yogurts going from £1 individual to 2 for £4. Twinpots at 50p and then 4 for £3. Was it the Homeprides that went onto worse pricing as SFSB pointed out earlier? We see Pringles go to £1, or, more often, £1.24, and then later the offer is 2 for £3. Which is, again, obviously a worse price. The mbuy seems always to be 2 for £3, I have yet to see 2 for £2. We've had jelly pots at 25p individual that then go to an mbuy and it's not 4 for £1 (in other words 25p each but, even then, requiring more purchasing and paying more so still a worse deal) but instead it's 8:eek: for £4, thus having people either paying far more than twice the cost or, even in order to be ripped off at twice the cost on each one, then be buying eightfold:eek::eek:. And, of course, the Quorn slices the other day - going from £1 to nearly double individual price and now, not 3 for £3, but, you guessed, 3 for £4:eek:, yet again worse pricing and a mbuy COST, not a saving, of 33.333...p extra per packet compared to the same trader's immediately previous price (to which of course their promotion now makes no reference and they do not have to).

Can anyone bring to mind an mbuy where the mbuy price was actually a lower price compared to an individual price that applied previously? If not, then every mbuy "saving" must in future be called an "mbuy cost" and therefore for the term "mbuy saving" to be replaced by "mbuy losses" and called mbuy losses unless they are all given back at any point in a glitch. Unless you have got a glitch, you have made a LOSS! It seems they do very well out of these mbuys from the muggles, overcharging on each one compared to one of their previous prices (whether their immediately previous one or not) and, in any event, at least, overcharging compared to Sains and M on comparable ones at the moment and not being 10% cheaper.

And, to return to my previous point, which has now got lost:rotfl:, do we have the Cafe Menues results vs Morries? TIA.
