The "best" number would I think be 8 as that would get you two at full price (and reduce fillers) yet 12 would have the hidden A multi kick in on all three £2 deals.

Cost £4, APG sees 6x84p, 2x96p=£6.96 v £4= £2.96+10% =£3.25 APG, so 75p for 8 as no other fillers required (assuming all 8 match)?

Well I bought my eight across two shops:(:rotfl:. Not to worry - anyway I could never get 8 matching (with the limits of a small supermarket) and we don't even like some of the flavours:wall: so they were out!

You stacked with another glitch so just as good (even flumps and 10p sweets as fillers are fine if you have a use for them ).

Thanks both. I have just printed off my last 'few'. Free Cidre and pasta -- just wish there had been bonanzas like this when I bought my first flat and was really struggling to meet the bills!

Second shop, a success too. Is Tomato the common thread, that doesn't pick up the mbuy so that if I buy four of those...? I doubt it though. System has obviously got new 3 for £2.50. The beggars though, they've taken the Tomato at 96p even though I have individual price 98p on the receipt! So, that is where the extra 2p is coming from (84px3 = £2.52 rather than £2.50) even though the 96p does not show in red.

On the Batchelors, was 50p now any 2 for £2 - we know the trick:(!
:rotfl:Diced Carrots & Swede not comparing against M even though it's 60p there. I like items that are more than 10% cheaper that don't compare!:T Serves their agents right for being apparently so poor in picking up some of the fruit & veg. for M. I hope loose Garlic is still 25p vs N/A (now it's 30p in M). However, Diced Carrots & Swede is vs Sains as we've seen. I know - whoopsied 2p should be the way... (though not on this shop as would not have had enough items - unlike TBG/Sains BM, whoopsies that are store-specific and appear as "Reduced" on the receipt do not appear on the comp. - very fortunately for one womble I had earlier - lots and lots of reduced items but fortunately the actual items they had paid full A price at the moment for amounted to enough - and fourth receipt in a row where M were cheaper. How unusual must that be?:rotfl::rotfl: Obviously, broken by my shops that are S cheaper, even though they're probably not!). The Carrot & Swede was best thing I could think of getting, that was available to me (wasn't sure if Cucumber was cheaper in S - thought Broccoli - the 335g ones that were there, no loose ones - was more expensive and didn't need Cucumber anyway).

I thought I may get a few more vouchers before the competition closes at 11.59, but the forms do not seem to be working now (typical they have not adjusted their system clocks?).

See below. Or above:rotfl:. Below your OP, above this reply now:rotfl:.

"Stacking":D with another glitch - I wasn't even aware that's what I was doing:o:rotfl::rotfl:.

I'm just working it out, or trying to - isn't 4 for £2 then 3x84p and one 96p the same thing as 8 for £4 (£2+£2) then 6x84p and two x 96p?:think: Am I missing something? Thus 4 would seem to be the same (pro rata) return as 8? Depending on whether another item in your shop tips one up by a further penny (perhaps two sep. shops therefore better:rotfl:, and tipped up twice - hopefully never tripped up:D - although wiped out by any extra items bought - hardly with the Spaghetti/Sausages this time though:rotfl:).

The sweets do all get consumed. Though I don't want to be paying again and again for them:rotfl:. The Advent Calendar, sadly I noticed they'd already consumed one this morning:(. That'll be one a day now:mad::mad::rotfl:. However, as they had the first day and therefore are having the odd numbers, alternate with my even ones, I'll end up with the 24th December, which, on the Mars one, is a big sweet!:T:D Somehow, I doubt it's going to work that way...:mad::rotfl: (They'll just have them all, they will...)

4 is the same pro rata return as 8 - but my point was 8 flavours means no other fillers required.
