Quiet day today. Was away working at Marathon over the weekend so a bit tired. Its my birthday today ( 61 ) so just been for a lovely birthday lunch with OH and DD and now a lovely afternoon with my feet up.
Can someone explain this new and old APG site to me?

Does anyone know if I change a number to call from overseas by dropping the (44) and using (0) instead, will it then change it into a landline number ? Don't fancy 0845 at 8p per min so wanted to try changing the "from overseas number" Hope this male sense. Tia xx

The +44 is the dialling code for the uk from overseas. Changing it to 0 won't change it to a landline number.

Dialling 141 in from just withholds your number. That won't change it to a landline number either.

Usually, somewhere near the phone number will be a fax or alternative number that gives a proper dialling code. Have a look see if there is anything then try changing the 0845 bit to the dialling code and see if that works.

Failing that, saynoto0870 is apparently quite helpful

Yes, works no problems. I used to always do that for my bank.

Savvy, would a sharp knife not count as an egg slicer in a 'fully equipped kitchen'??

I think that everyone, every time they are shopping in a supermarket in future, whether or not they are doing a targetted shop - and perhaps especially if they are not doing a targetted shop - would be well advised to assume that every multibuy 'deal' represents a more expensive price, even when buying the multibuy number, than some previous price.

I think this could well be the best general money-saving tip on groceries this year!

It certainly seems to apply to multibuys of the "any x for £y" type - it may not necessarily apply to all bogo"f"s (which Mr A don't do) - for example the 'normal' offer price for Flora Cuisine is £1 or 99p but a previous T bogo'f' - if you needed two - did represent a better price per unit. Of course the individual price then was not £1, but it was £1.70 - which did, if you bought two, represent a lower price for each than the usual offer price. Of course the individual price (compared to £1 offer) is, in that sense, "inflated" - hence why I now always put the "f" (for "free") in quotation marks as it is never actually totally free - besides having to buy the first item in order to qualify for the "free" second - the individual price is usually a bit more expensive in order to cover the cost of the second item - and notice I don't treat it as £1.70 and one free, instead I take it as, effectively, an 85p cost for each but that was a little better than usual 99p/£1 individual offer pricing.

Apart from the bogo'f's sometimes though - and definitely not to be assumed that they are always good - I think we should assume that every multibuy is a worse shelf price than before and remains such even when buying the multibuy number.
Rationale for assuming this especially when not doing a targetted shop is that, if you are doing a targetted shop, it is likely that you will be seeking to compare against a cheaper price elsewhere and that therefore that the price you'll be trying to compared to will be a better price than the multibuy deal. Making it very probable that that comparison will be better than the multibuy price.

So, especially if you aren't doing a targetted shop, always assume that a multibuy is a more expensive cost than the price was before.

My credit card asked me to call them on the number on the back of the card. I saw an 0845 number and a number to call from overseas. I just used the overseas number from my mobile and got through no problem.
