    Morning all
    Fancy moving without telling me :rotfl::rotfl:
    I didn't partake in the coke glitch as I couldn't get to As but well done to all those that did. Thanks to SFSB for bringing it to us.
    Well it looks like the weather forecast might have been right, it is a lovely sunny day here.
    I am going to try and get motivated and do a few long over due bits and pieces today but will pop in from time to time.

    Hello. I'm not a regular on here, but I was in the Coop earlier this morning, and there's a strange offer you might be interested in. I don't know if it's a glitch or a genuine clearance offer, but it's a very good one!

    Walkers crisps, 150g, (large bag), £2.29 each
    or two bags for £2!

    Thanks, but it's not a glitch. It's just priced up in a way that makes people go

    "ooh, it's cheaper to buy 2 than 1, that can't be right"

    When in reality it's just a "better than half price" deal with the requirement that you buy an even number

    Either way the original price is ridiculous for what it is. 150g bags of crisps are always on offer of £1 somewhere

    :think:

    coke bottles still aren't populating the 2 for £2 promo page

    http://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-2/ls86226

    The only place i can see the products flashed 2 for £2 is at the bottom of a search screen eg under "Customers who searched for 'coke zero' also viewed" but when you click onto the products the promo disappears

    You've just reminded me of one of T's boobs - wasn't it something like 3 packs for £2 including the really big ones, when it was supposed to be 3 for the price of 2?

    Yes, on many cereals :).

    They had a run on that type of offer (glitch) - must have replaced their member of staff (or cleared all the stock that they wanted shifting!).

    Some are errors but I think sometimes the retailers use us/10ways/HUKD etc to clear stock by giving the impression of a glitch/misprice when on other occasions it may have been RTC/overstock etc (the V4x steam floor mop in Arg0s last year springs to mind - no way would I have even considered buying one without the glitch tag and its underuse since suggests I fell for the marketing ploy :o).

    Good fun chasing glitches though and overall we do seem to do quite well out of this form of shopping ;).

    Don't feel sorry :beer:

    As long as people like you think these are good deals the supermarkets will continue to put them out

    And as long as A puts out multibuys with over-inflated individual prices we'll get lots of stuff for free when it glitches :rotfl:
