    Morning all :wave:

    Glad to see some have got loads of pop, after 8s and whatever else has been glitching this past day or two. Havent joined in as don't want that fattening stuff in my house :rotfl: Only me and oh at home and he don't drink the pop or eat after 8s either.

    Was thinking recently, haven't seen tigerwhite on here for a long time. I think she use to meet up with one of the elite but cant remember who it was. Hope she is ok. Use to love reading her posts about legging it here and there :)

    Morning everyone. Hope all goes well for you Nannylala. Have a good holiday snap and fourp:)
    Can I ask please why are people buying large amounts of After Eights from A's? Unless I am mistaken this is not a glitch just a good price comparison. I like to keep apg's under £10 so 3 packs bought at A's would cost £2.70 net plus fillers (giving an apg of £9.30). Why not just buy at Morries for £1.00 each and no fillers to buy? Much quicker and simpler unless of course you don't have a Morries nearby. Perhaps I am missing something.
    Anyway have a good day everyone:)

    Morning all,
    Just a quick report, I saw the glitches while I was at work last night and shot to A in the early hours.
    Mixed report, shops done at 2.56am to 3.45am.

    Coke picked up 2for£3 only so worked out at 48p each, not so good but ok.
    Fanta etc did not pick up multibuy but compared at £1 so 75p each.
    Tigers worked well, charged at 2for£1.50, cost £7.50, APG £8.80.
    After8 compared as expected, £4 to £1.

    Price updates seem to have been done by then so Tigers & After8's should still work this morning?

    14 items (4 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Tesco
    2x Diet Coke Bottle (1.75L) £3.00 £1.85
    10x Coca-Cola Bottle (1.75L) £15.00 £9.25

    10 items (5 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Morrisons
    2x Fanta Icy Lemon (2L) £3.70 £2.00
    2x Fanta Fruit Twist (2LT) £3.70 £2.00
    2x Lilt Zero Pineapple & Grapefruit (2LT) £3.70 £2.00
    2x Dr Pepper Bottle (2LT) £3.70 £2.00
    2x Fanta Orange (2L) £3.70 £2.00

    10 items (1 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Waitrose
    10x Walkers Tiger Nuts Smoky Bacon (130G) £19.80 £10.00

    10 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Morrisons
    4x After Eight After Eight Mint Chocolate Thins (300G) £16.00 £4.00

    Haven't had time to fully digest and am going for a few more zzzzzzzzzzzzz's. Gotta go back to A later for some 'proper' shopping!

    Little confused do you mean there was no multi on your pop shop fanta etc or you was charged £1 each.
    Ignore reality.There's nothing you can do about it.

    Looking at 2l Fanta, Sprite, Lilt on A.com

    some varieties are £1.85, others are £1. Presumably they are all £1 in store now that the 2 for £2 multi is finished and A.com is just slow to update :think:

    That would mean we're still good to do CC/HD on the £1.85 bottles

    He clarified that he paid £1.85 each

    I'm thinking the tills updated to take off the multi and then updated again to update price to £1 and ChelseaFred just shopped in between these updates

    Weird as the new price is £1 today you should have either been charged £1 today's price or £1.85 plus multi.

    A.com shows full fat 8x330ml Irn Bru at full price of £3.97 and sugar free is £2. These were £3.97/2 for £5 the other day so obviously the offer is not done updating on A.com yet

    Buy full fat v S for £3.97 v £2.50 (£1.72 APG on a £2 spend = 28p for 8 cans = 3.5p a can :eek: :j :money:)

    (Untested....for now :D)

    ETA Dammit, I just signed in and they are £2 :( Sprite/Fanta still show a mix of £1/£1.85's so there is still potential there)
