yes but they wasnt expected to compare as should have been £5 v £5

Yes it "should" have been £5 contribution towards an APG (or none:( if it was taken away by everything else) from multipacks of coke if there had not been a glitch. But if there was a glitch - then it should have been £23 if it compared wrongly at £5 vs £3 for each one.

Hello bubbs....my iPad is driving me bonkers.....so slow and pages constantly needing to reload. It's been a mess since i upgraded to IOS 9. I knew I should have left well alone:o

Here's a couple of little cyclamen I picked up today in T 20p each and they are so pretty in my plant pot:)

Tm there is an update to 9.1, I was ready to throw my ipad in the bin after updating to 9.0.1 as I was getting the pages constantly reloading as well but after 9.1 update it seems to be back to normal now.

Do not make my mistakes with mushrooms and Chips!

Just back from seeing Ruby Wax in her show about mental health. Funny and thought provoking. Fabulous!

Someone went for the biscuits I mentioned earlier:rotfl: - got tempted!:D:(:rotfl: Didn't need to buy the Oatie Crumbles though.

:(Spaghetti going N/A vs M again I notice.

But...Ibuprofen going N/A too:T:rotfl:.

:eek::eek:The price on those Mushrooms - that is definitely one to watch and avoid!

(I have thought about this from time to time, as it happens earlier today once - about items that people may put as "fillers" against M, perhaps because they see "---" for M on msm and assume that they aren't available in M. That's the risk there. I don't include such items on my lists, as to what to avoid - because the list is what possible items to buy that might compare favourably. So it doesn't tell you what not to buy. In a way it does - by omission, so that, if something does not appear on the M list, then it 'shouldn't' be bought. However, despite the list being quite 'comprehensive' (supposedly:laugh:) and, although it does give all that I believe to be of good value against M (but not any glitches that may come along or of which I am unaware of), there are other possibilities vs M.

Fruit and veg. is one area I wouldn't risk since there are items that are available in M even though they don't sell them online and, with loose fruit/veg., the way msm operates is that it doesn't show all competitors' items on the A product even though they compare (it's 'always' been this way). It may be that these loose mushrooms are on msm for M - I'll have a look in a moment, but are not showing for the A product.

I can't tell when items like this are going to compare to much more expensive for M as I don't get details of costly M items for the APG! That's the problem as well with items that people use against M (or indeed perhaps anywhere now, given that the APG no longer uses msm) that they expect to be N/A against the competitor - it's always possible that, even if I do not notice or have something in my Ms, that M could stock the product (or their equivalent) after all and it compare (...and it could be much more expensive). Therefore, I don't put "N/A" items on the M list vs M, unless I am absolutely sure.

I don't attempt items vs a supposed N/A as there may well be a comparable product after all and it lose out. I can't list items on the M list to be avoided as the list doesn't deal with what not to buy. In any event, it would just lengthen things more - and not just the list but my time obtaining the prices in the first place as I can't literally collect every product in M, only dealing with ones that seem to be good. I can't literally get every type of possible loose fruit and vegetable - particularly as they're not usually great prices per unit (although they are sometimes or often excellent fillers). Thanks for posting though indeed, at least in order to tell others what not to get (if trying an M comp.).

Actually, me being me and doing things fully, if I were doing my own shop and wanted to use a loose apple or something as a filler on a near-in-the-future Avs M shop of mine, I would make a point of checking that particular apple's price in M the next time I was there, before my A shop. As regards T, fortunately this is one thing that doesn't need to be checked nowadays as, it's if own brand loose fruit or veg., it is automatically not going to compare:T - although :(we still, or now, face the possibility of losing out (or technically losing out) as we could be paying much more for our loose apple than if we'd bought at the competitor. But then it may be needed as a filler and be of greater use there. That said, under the new TBG, I question the value of even getting fillers at all now, given that, it seems to me, there is almost nothing extra to be gained from T. The only thing seems a penny or so in CC points for every pound, which is not enough especially if you are buying more from T, in order to get the numbers, that you would not have to buy at the competitor. Therefore, as I mentioned earlier on my sig., the only use I can see is for those who have T nearby and not other stores and who want to get the offers of the other store which is too far for them to travel to. That's the only use I can see now for the price-match of T - and anyone who has the competitors available should, in my view, just shop now at the competitor and buy and spend less.

Which actually means, perversely, that in the areas of 'competition', where you might expect that T would want to use a price-match scheme to draw customers away from the competitors, that TBG, as I see it now, actually makes it best to shop at the competitor (why pay T more? You would be paying T more, as having to buy the fillers that wouldn't be needed at the other store. Or else you'd be buying 10 branded items - and would anyone really need to be buying and comparing so many branded items against still expensive brand prices elsewhere? It's one for the muggles who like to pay extra because it's brands!) and it's only in the places where T is available and the other store(s) is/are not, in other words where no-one could have got to or shopped at the competitor anyway but would have to be buying at T, that TBG is - as I see it - any use (from our POV).

Oh dear:(, I quit - I am having a bad night tonight!:rotfl::rotfl:

EDIT: I was trying to avoid it being a 'trick question', and then fell into a trap! (One that wasn't even set by the OP in the first place:rotfl:.)

Savvybuyer

Just do the sums for me folks - my head's obviously gone somewhere tonight! (And I won't ask, on a postcard, for ideas as to where it's gone:D:naughty::rotfl::rotfl:.)

There is one 'benefit' of TBG though - as I see it, it's no risk anymore (except perhaps a wasted journey should any concern you raise in store not be successful?) - as the money should be taken off your bill, you, as an Eliter, would know what the comparable bill of the competitor should be and therefore know what bill you should be paying - if TBG for whatever reason (must have failed to pick up a competitor item/price) does not deduct what you expect, and you're right, then you can simply say "should have been £x.xx" at the competitor (plus T own label price cost) and just cancel everything off and not do the shop at all if they don't give the discount they 'should'.
