Before I turn in for the night, Has anyone actually had problems using a higher value apg? I usually keep under £10 if convenience (I prefer £9.xx) as doesn't need SV override on new system etc, but have never had a problem with vouchers up to about £18 which is the highest I've used.

Occasionally I've had comment that the value is high compared to the expenditure but that doesn't seem related to the actual voucher value at all.

I've bought champagne that was cheaper in Sains and gave £15+ and the sa didn't bat an eyelid (one off so very small sample size!).

Maybe I'm being overly cautious :think:, what's the worst that could happen? they check the details and it's all above board .

Goodnight all :hello: see you all in apg jail tomorrow :rotfl:

Yes, on one occasion. Though it was eventually accepted - but the situation was such that it has resulted in me never ever going to that store ever again. This isn't the store that's 'closer' to me btw but I don't live as close to as before and therefore that's why I don't really go to A often - simply because it's now sadly the farthest store from me (other a small supermarket that won't have any glitch items:(). I do still use APG, occasionally, at the nearer (that unfortunately is no longer that near) A superstore.

So yes I did have a problem, once, with a higher value voucher. However, I've also had far higher vouchers than that in the past (and they were well more than twice the value) and had no problem at all with using them - but then again that was from a non-glitchy shop (somewhat before I found the Elite). I've also had vouchers slightly higher but no issues at all (cashier said: "Oh I've had a lot bigger than that!":eek: - made me feel like my high voucher was very minimal and small:rotfl:). And then I've had the tiniest couple of pounds cause a response and yet the five or six pound voucher afterwards they put through without any ado at all. (I've said before: it's not the big ones that cause issues for me, it's the tiny few pence that the SAs question:rotfl::rotfl:.) Just depends on who you see sometimes I think. It's just total inconsistency - caused by the fact that different human beings, of variant and random emotion, and different opinions and approaches applies at the same time as each other.

PS: The voucher I had no problems with (years ago) was over £35! But I was able to explain that I bought an electric toothbrush that was lots of pounds much cheaper elsewhere.

No idea where your post went scamps but looked fine to me :rotfl:

...I did buy farmhouse white loaf on a separate shop earlier just because I don't trust bread comparisons :money:

Thanks Savvybuyer,

It is crazy or cunning :think: how the toothbrushes can be £70 one day then £35 the next :eek:

Night all :hello:

Savvybuyer

:rotfl:I've just been sat here, looking back and wondering why my last (extremely helpful IMO) post has only got one thanks, as I occasionally do:rotfl::rotfl::o:o - and then just realised it's gone past midnight!:eek::eek:(:rotfl:)

So, good morning!:D

The M list will eventually get updated from what's now yesterday(:rotfl:), all the info. is safe! I think, as I said, it's mainly the Pork Shoulder back again and the Seabrooks crisps (hopefully a price changeover in A might happen on those:D:cool:).

The Haribo bags (not the 10p minis) are 50p in M. But why? There are Hallowe'en bags of other sweets cheaper and hopefully some of them may even compare. Also, there are some Funsize bags (Maltesers, Fudge, Crunchie) at £1. More will be later - and probably all over by the time I get the information:rotfl: -

I did check the American Chorizo and Mac Cheese and it doesn't seem to me there can be much else other than Italian Mac Cheese 400g at £1 to which it is/was comparing. There aren't any other type of 'fresh' ready meals at £1 in M as far as I can see other than the ones I already knew and which are already on the (now out-of-date) M list (others are much, much higher than £1). Offer on the Mac Cheese in M is due to end on 8th November though - so this may be last time for now.

And - oh I ought to have mentioned this earlier! - :eek:how could I not? - there are some 70cl alcohols on an offer that works out better:D than £15 per 1L. But not Scotland:(, because it's mbuy. Maybe you have at straight £10 there?:T Help please - can anyone in Scotland check and see - many TIA! (Even if you just check m.com in Scotland, a version of the site which I cannot see.) Bells, Grant's Whiskey, Captain Morgan... those off the top of my head, there are several others too!

All will get done later. Or maybe now who knows? As and when I feel like it:cool:. For now, goodbye and, later during daytime, if I'm not posting much - :doh:I'm probably dealing with the M list!

See you soon:wave:.

Night all :hello:

Oh I deal with small fry, unfortunately:(:rotfl: - how the McDougalls pies can be 2 for £3 some weeks ago and now (for another week) straight £3.53 for one!:eek:

Oh btw LM Veg Sausages 6 pack back at £1. Although I don't think I go for such prices or low number of sausages these days:rotfl::rotfl:.

There's a 5 for £4 offer too across some frozen items - that may work out 'good' for some items there. No idea about APG working or not of course, but we can try: I'll automatically(:wall::question:) put anything comparable onto Avs M and the rest buying in M (or maybe T?). The 5 for £4 includes some of the Cornetto 4 packs (maybe there's really no 5 pack versions) - I remember Cornetto packs eventually went to 50p each earlier in the year:rotfl:.

See - I remember all these items, I don't need to write them down when I'm instore!:rotfl:

Also some what some may feel 'sneaky' - I could not comment - price increases. In fact several items will have price increases made on the list. The Casserole Mix has gone up to £1.12:(. The frozen cabbage (former 'buy in M') has gone up too - but I didn't think that was worthwhile at some stage when Aldi on its fresh was 59p. The SP Nat Yogurt equivalent gone back to 45p (from the penny downwards of the last few weeks). The Cake Board:eek: - even that they've increased - from 79p to 82p (if I recall correctly)! The Flan case has gone from 80p to 82p (subject to my memory being right again). So there will be a few increases. Something else has gone up as well. It's not right at the top of my mind yet - but I will find it, later, and the list will be changed.

:wave::rotfl: (as if!:rotfl:)

Ah yes - see you knew I was not really gone:rotfl: - they've now got some Santa Claus version of Kellogg's Corn Flakes available. So, maybe, maybe after Christmas, if that's still around, perhaps it will be way cheaper perhaps it will be better getting Kellogg's Corn Flakes then! In that pack. It's exactly the same product inside, but somehow people don't seem interested after the relevant festival has been and gone. The Hallowe'ens for example include a Starburst product and a Skittles product - quite cheaper than the lowest normal offers on the regular versions - the Starburst in Hallowe'en pouch pack for instance is cheaper than the 4 pack regular rolls on £1 no-good (IMO) offer price. (I'm looking at how many grams you get in the pouch as opposed to the total grams of the 4 rolls.) I'm sure my RTC offer is not the lowest price you could get on Hallowe'en stuff elsewhere (I managed cheaper in Sains. sometime) but it's better than even 70p offers we've seen (not that often) from T on regular stock. It may be called some slightly different name and have a Hallowe'en - but let's face it, they're all Skittles still inside and exactly the same as eating them - and with BB dates into June of next year! Of course, mine has to be a very restrained household to see many of that last even till Christmas!:rotfl::rotfl: M&Ms Chocolate Pouch (300g) at £1 as well. Normally an offer on a normal 300g pouch would go to £1.99 or thereabouts - but just because this one is Hallowe'en it now goes for cheaper. And it gives you three times as much - or probably even more - than the expensive £1 price on those small tubes that are now out for Christmas. So, avoid the Christmas tubes (lower than 100g on M&Ms?) and, if you want M&Ms, either find the usual CB and glitched comparison that you do and end up better than free:rotfl: - or go for Savvy's muggle version of paying £1 for 300g!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (I'm sure you can better me...). Of course, even if the Christmas tubes - or the tubes that many people I suspect associate with Christmas - even if a glitch could be found that ended up getting them for about 33p each, it would still be about the same as buying a 300g "RTC" Hallowe'en bag at £1. Maybe if you wait it will go cheaper still?:think::rotfl:

No luck on that Dishwasher Gel. I think RTC £1.48 was the last and it seems that the item is probably gone now. But I still have the Dettol Laundry Cleanser at £2 RTC in my store fwiw. Don't know if it's managed to stay around in the APG collector stores for them though, although it did compare against the RTC price a few weeks ago.

Of course, you need to be careful otherwise you could get tempted and end up spending £10 on a load of sweets bags and chocolates when you would have paid nothing if you had not bought any of these items at all:rotfl:.

So we just buy in 2's but doesn't matter how many we get as long as they compare against T?
Is that right? tia

Mine's not a useful reply, so ignore me, I'm taking it too literally, but it does matter how many you get if you get more than 10 of the exact same version.:rotfl:

Just don't get more than 10 of the same one I think;). But I know absolutely nothing about the glitch:o:o. (Well, obviously, I know about its existence - again you are reading me too literally!:D - I'm not a literal person:laugh: - so clearly I don't literally know absolutely nothing - however I'm just basing it off your quotation of that comp. and your reply - I have no idea how the glitch works, how many needs to be bought or anything else - see, I told you my post was useless:rotfl::rotfl:. I assume you will buy at least 8 different items in a shop so as to qualify for the APG, so clearly you can't just get 10 of the same flavour and leave it at that with nowt else in your shopping:rotfl: - but, beyond qualifying for the APG, I know nowt! I've not been glitch shopping earlier:o:o:rotfl:.)

In order to be helpful, however, I'd go and have a look at what T's offer is on the product and then buy the number to match that. Assuming that this is a glitch that needs us to compare against T:rotfl:.

EDIT: Done it for you - T's on £1.94 so don't have to buy two to get that - could buy just one. However, I assume it relates to some A mbuy, so need to be buying in the quantities required for that (need to be getting whatever the A mbuy number is). HTH (even if not fully). I imagine it would be a "2 for..." mbuy (can't imagine it would be "3 for..." on these products - I've never known such a "3 for..." on these items before - and, of course, in an ideal world, your A will have full mbuy SELs up with the needed information but, if this offer has only just gone on then, like mine, you are likely to find no mbuy offer material up on the shelf at all:(. So, I just go back to imagining it's buy in twos again... and then drift off to sleep... and... I'm going now for the night folk, see you later:wave:).

Basically pick up a load, scan them through as your shopping and you should see, if you use SS, the price going down or going to exact mbuy price or whatever to show the mbuy amount - you can tell off SS machines as you scan when you are getting the mbuy or not. Ah:idea: - according to pricing for A on msm (which is irrelevant but is still easier way for me to see everyone's prices), it looks like you need to get ones that are individual price £3.89 in A (some are much cheaper and you don't want those!). So that if it's "2 for..." mbuy, you will not see SS machine saying £7.78 to pay (which is £3.89+£3.89) if you scan 2 but should see some much lower price and then know that it is a "2 for..." mbuy deal (and hence need an even number in total in your shop and never exceeding 10 of any exact same version). I suspect it would be £3.89 and 2 for £4 if this glitch deal is as nice for us as it should be?

I could just go and catch up - I think we all should do that should we? - and go back in the thread to find the information. However, I think I'm used to doing my normal Morries price guesses of late, it's late and I haven't got much time, so I think I'll do similar to that and use my imagination as to what I think it might be:rotfl: . Let's... read between the lines again!:D:cool::rotfl::(:rotfl: Goodnight:wave:.

The air products have changed quite a bit I think. The Febreze Set & Refresh Units have doubled from £2 to £4. The Ambi Pur 3volutions are off. The Glade Candles have gone up, they may be the odd one or two of the Air Wick Candles that may now be on £2, so we'll all wait until I can go and check. So don't be relying on my list of last week on there:rotfl:. The single Ambi diffuser is 99p, the Air Wick one is still straight £1.
