Tvs M (not Northern Ireland).
Actually, I think it doesn't matter what the prices of T are on the branded items. You should just look at the prices of M and think of it that way, making sure that that is what you pay. It's not a discount - instead, if it compares as shown, it's as if the M prices appeared on the SELs in T, if you do not mix up your shop with any brand that compares to more expensive at M and if you get the required number of items etc. I'm considering whether to delete the T prices on the brands, as they are irrelevant now really if they compare. T has made its own prices on the brands irrelevant:rotfl:.

Hello Elite
Glad you're back and so I'm also delurking - I would be happy to help seek out glitches and could do with some tips on what to look for.
Thank you for all the good ideas in the past.0 -
How do we spot the glitches at asda now? Hadn't realised they'd stopped using mySupermarket.
Try looking at wombles, if a multibuy is on the receipt but not the apg then there is a glitch.
Also, look at what compared on the womble even if you didn't get money back, i.e. bacon might have looked like a really good comparison but overall lost out.. maybe bacon is comparing to the wrong competitors product.
Looking at future promos can give you a heads up what to test on the start day.
Something in-store that's missing from the website? maybe it's a trigger.
Maybe something like coke is showing £1.85 without any offers - what's the chance of that, maybe it's multi is missing so check it at customer services or buy it and report back.
Maybe there is a price error on a competitors website and the apg may have picked it up.
If a multibuy page on asda.com doesn't show the multis on each product in the list then it might be missing (the banner under products will be blank instead of 3 for £10 etc).
A big part of finding glitches is testing, sharing and analysing why it worked or didn't work.#CHEEKY :cool:0 -

We have joked about people being trigger happy with new threads but blimey, this must be a record moving before even 3000 posts ...
.
Thank you to Heol for the previous thread, sorry it seems to have been closed, with no one sure why. Maybe MSE Towers have decided to draw a line and this is their official nudge to move on (literally)? Thank you TS for opening a new thread :A.
Anon0 -
Forgot to mention that the acupuncture seems to be working on DS. He has been under the hospital for over 2 years since he slipped in the shower, cracked his ribs and damaged his shoulder. He has another appointment tomorrow with the physio who administers it.
I can't remember who also has a painful shoulder - but if you are reading this DS says give it a go.
Now has anyone heard from Dippy - little worried as Hubby was in hospital and I know she has a lot to contend with.0 -
Well I've reserved my places (for whenever I do the next list, if the thread is still open by then:laugh:), so it's time for me to go (hopefully I'll remember where I left them).
EDIT: Other person in the house has just walked in with the one item I needed from M today - they remembered:T:j:rotfl: - but they didn't bring me a price list:D:(:rotfl:.
Thank you folks and good afternoon/evening!:):wave:0
