    There is a glitch on felix if you buy only 2

    Although showing 2 for £6 in store they are 3 for £8 on a.com.

    http://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls86628

    This has worked against your shop because you bought 3.

    It would have glitched if you had bought 2 against morries.

    This was from my shop on the 11th.I paid £6 for 2.

    There are 2 MB running at the same time on the Felix. If you had bought 2for£6 then the MB wouldn't have been picked up.
    Its been glitching since the beginning of the month.

    I see sal beat me to it. :rotfl:

    thanks must have missed that post, ( and possibly others) though the mixed meaty loaf that I wanted is not stocked at Morrisons

    Has anyone had trouble using the NCG coupons? The SS checkout happily took the Yorkshire tea ones and my APG's, but voided the NCG ones off. The SA's were most perplexed too, none of them yet know about the Eagle Eye coupon system they have installed.

    Just a thought. B00ts sale stuff now at 30%. Originally it was 3 for the price of 2. So each item was 66.67% of the marked price. So the sale stuff is only 45% of its original price ie slightly less than half price. Don't get too excited.

    Aww, thankyou, I cant believe that he has got in touch actually.

    I said years ago, after we tried to find him and failed, that once he was old enough, he would know that he has a brother, and another family, and he will come and find us, and now he has.

    So much to catch up on.

    So pleased for you and your family. Poor lad ripped away from his family.:(
    moving forwards have a wonderful time reconnecting with him and telling him all you can about his mum. Sure there will be lots of brother bonding:T

    Are you sure? Have you checked lots of other Morrisons?:rotfl::rotfl:
    Just because it's not showing a price for M on msm/m.com or isn't stocked in your M store, doesn't mean it isn't stocked at some M miles away from you:rotfl:. If that were to be the case, and the price collectors happened to be in that store, then they should pick it up. I don't know on this one btw. As far as I'm aware:rotfl:, it's not stocked in M.

    I have always thought this, can never understand why people buy so much at 50% off straight after Christmas:(

    my other shop voucher for £2.32
    I actually paid £9.87 for my felix it was 2 for £6 plus £3.87 I knew it was 3 for £8 in Tesco, has anyone phoned Asda customer services with a similar problem ?
    I was thinking I might try as there are no glitchy item just mostly cheaper/same price at Tesco.

    15 items (11 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Tesco
    3x Felix Meaty Loaf Fish & Meat Selection Cat Pouches (12X100) £8.00 £8.00
    1x ASDA Good & Balanced Red Lentils (500G) £1.10 £1.15
    0.15x ASDA Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.10 £0.10
    0.16x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Onion (order by number of onions or select kg) (PER KG) £0.11 £0.11
    1x Heinz Salad Cream Original (425G) £1.50 £1.50
    2x Heinz Beanz (415G) £1.00 £1.00
    1x ASDA Smartprice Sparkling Water (2LT) £0.17 £0.17
    0.1x ASDA Loose Carrot (order by number of carrots or select kg) (PER KG) £0.06 £0.06
    1x ASDA Chosen By You Lemon & Lime Double Strength Squash (1.5LT) £1.25 £1.00
    1x ASDA Chosen By You Apple & Blackcurrant Double Concentrate No Added Sugar (1.5LT) £1.25 £1.00
    2x ASDA Chinese Takeaway Prawn Crackers (40G) £1.00 £0.60
    Comparison total (compared products only) £15.54 £14.69
    +£0.85 cheaper

    I think it's irrelevant:doh: if it's not on the APG.
    The APG uses online prices so, unfortunately, it compares 3 at 3 for £8:(.

    No, she's talking about OOS for T rather than it showing as 'Unavailable' on a.com. Ladyshopper, are you signed in on msm? If you are, if you sign out, the asterisk may disappear as it may be reflecting T in your local area when signed in. Msm is a guide only - and, in that, it is still useful for helping identify comparable items (as long as you remember that occasionally it captures things that aren't comparable due to too great differences in weights and, as for Morries items...).

    It depends on whether the item is still showing on t.com and whether the APG's own scan (of t.com) has picked up the T item or not. An asterisk on msm may mean the item was absent, or detected as unavailable, on t.com at the time that site took its last scan of t.com. The APG might have taken at a different time of the day, which it does each day, and may or may not have picked something up on t.com, depending on whether there was anything there. If this is early in the week, T are a beggar sometimes for removing items from their website (usually at the end of offers) only for them to reappear a few days later. This can result in N/A.

    Can you see the T item on t.com or not? Even if not, however, bearing in mind that it may just be absent from t.com in your area and might be showing in other parts of the country and picked up by the APG from there (which would then reflect in everyone's results, except perhaps if this is a Scotland/rest of the UK thing).

    If the A item has gone OOS on a.com, which is not what you asked and is completely different, then it can reappear later (maybe a few weeks later) and such items, that have gone off a.com and back on again, have been known to go N/A vs all competitors for a time when they come back onto a.com until, eventually, hopefully, they start to pick up the competitor's price again. I have this with SP Milk Chocolate Bar, which disappeared from a.com even though it was still available instore - and I suspect did not count as an item for a period. When it returned, several weeks later, it did not compare against T or M at same price (returned N/A vs both:(). The latest I have is that it is now comparing once again. A similar thing happened with SP Fishfingers, which used to compare against same price at T and M but which, I understand, have now gone N/A vs T for a number of months and have yet to pick up a T price but are now comparing only against M at same price (S is undoubtedly being returned more expensive:eek:).

    HTH.

    Sorry savvy, I'm afraid you've just confused me more. :o

    I don't have a log in for mysupermarket, just look stuff up on there.

    Had a quick look at Tesco signed in and doesn't seem to be stock of candles at my local as nothing came up to order.

    Does this mean they will compare or not?
