    Looks like a GLITCHY day today!:D (Not tested yet)

    The usual thing with multis looking to have finished but you should still be charged multi price instore. Apg will see full price.:)

    Will start with this group of 2 for £6.
    http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/promotion/ls79924

    Best example I can see is this one.
    5000204800180_130_IDShot_4.jpeg
    EACH


    2 FOR £6 Glade Plug Ins Scented Oil Clean Linen 20ml
    £6.00

    Compares to £2.50 in T. so after apg you will be paid £1.50 to take away every two you get.:D

    Lots in this group compare to T. or S. Too many for me to list, so I will let you all sort out the comparisons!:D:D

    Be back shortly with another one.:)

    A few confirmations of items comparing against M. They bought really badly to end up with more 10% cheaper than M, given the price differences on some of the items cheaper in M. We already knew about the Regina Blitz comparing against M as it should. The Diet Blue Charge does not compare - I'll check if I have that on my list as if it should do so - it may be that there is no product in M or that they don't think a version in M is comparable. Not sure if the Cafe Menu should be N/A:think:. May be an mbuy on the Banoffee Tarts that they should have bought. Not showing M item on msm/m.com. Possibly 2 for £2 in M, although not reaching my price guide (£1 for a 2 pack?:eek:) so I've not taken any details, no information collected unfortunately. It didn't even pass the first hurdle of being a good enough price to take:rotfl:.

    They got the two Dr. Peppers and the Fanta to compare at full price, as they bought one too many cans of mini Coke. Paid 4x 4 for £1 on the receipt. No good as the Coke is very unfavourable. All three products N/A against T and W. Fanta and Dr. Pepper N/A vs S with Coke unfavourable. I was thinking of possible permutations involving getting full price Fantas (preferably three of them) to compare against M; however I suppose if you bought 11 Dr. Peppers, one of them from within the 10 that would appear would make the 3 Fantas pick up the mbuy. You'd also be paying full price in the first place on some of the Fantas, if you bought three of them along with 11 Dr. Peppers, as not buying a multiple of 4. So I don't think the numbers work out. Not great price difference anyway, for very what work out as very expensive mini cans of drink. (£1:eek: for just 600ml on A's price - it's an expensive way of buying soft drinks.)

    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?

    Sorry, I talk about other matters (as usual) in my post.

    I think that to have an idea we need to throw it open: does anyone have the candles on t.com?

    What candles are you looking for on there (I think I'd try signed out as well)? We need to see if they really are OOS on t.com or whether there's some item the APG ought to pick up. I think though, given the "*" on msm signed out, which suggests not available on t.com more widely, this is going to be not on t.com and hence N/A.

    However, I think bubbs may be right - as, when a competitor goes OOS, the item continues to compare for 'up to' 7 days. (That was the case for us with that Special K Cereal Boxes glitch from probably over a year ago: t.com had 3 for 2 on a really cheap price, APG (via msm at that time) picked it up, t.com then went 'item unavailable' and kept at that so that the APG continued to pick up the erroneous offer for up to 7 days afterwards - what we didn't want was for the item then to reappear on t.com, with a correct high price on it, as the APG would then change from the OOS up to 7 days price to the high price with the item back in stock on t.com.)

    You'd need to know what date the item disappeared from t.com to see if we are still within the 7 day threshold or not. Try searching for the name of the T item followed by "tesco.com" on a Google search - see if Google has a cache and, if it does, what date it shows the item still being on t.com. If it's recent enough...

    This is, in my view, going to be dicey though and, with the "*", although msm is not now used, and you can't find it on t.com, I wouldn't bother attempting it and would assume it would be N/A. It's certainly a risk in my view.

    I spoke too soon:(. SP Milk Chocolate Bar not picking up M item:( - this may be something to do with the recent absence of the A product from a.com. They may have no A product in their system at the moment when they are checking instore in M. It is picking up, from online, the 30p price at T. I don't like that pouch price!:eek:

    I did have a chuckle at the Bassett's Jelly Babies. It would have been cheaper to have gone to M and bought the 460g carton at 75p there!:rotfl: There was still some around in M earlier this week - generally in places that are not showing 75p - but I even had one store that did have 75p and still had some stock. I've seen it a few days ago in M in Chester and Middlewich (though one of those may have 75p price and may have gone by now?) and also in Stoke on Trent (Stoke is showing incorrect price of £1.50 RTC:rotfl: but still has stock in normal aisle not Christmas aisle). One further store in my check had a 75p SEL for it but was OOS. It may be available in other M stores somewhere.

    You're also probably in luck with the KP 500g nuts in Stoke on Trent (that work out cheaper than SP/Savers) - they're on the Christmas aisle and with, helpfully, no price so they are not shifting as fast:rotfl:. Otherwise, Connah's Quay had some on the store's RTC shelf (again, no price indicated). I saw a proper SEL for one of them at Crewe, but unfortunately no stock there!

    I did have a chuckle at Stoke on the Duni Tablecovers - they had four versions all showing £2.50 and one version, happens to be the Red one that's 50p, showing no price:rotfl:. So, showing no price is the way to identify the cheapness of the item;):D:money:.

    I am enjoying my first cuppa and first food since 6 am this morning.... kn*ckered is to mild a word to use!!

    Hope everyone had a good time at Boots today x

    Just why??

    What job in this earth is worth going that amount of hours with out substinence for?? You can always stuff sugar snacks in your bag if you are that busy you can't eat and you should always have water.....always.

    As someone who's kidneys are seriously mucked up at the moment....why would you do that to yourself? :( it's really not worth it. Not to mention the fact, if you do a long drive after 12/13 hours without food and water you are a danger to yourself and other road users.

    No ones job is so important that they have to take risks like that. Who's going to thank you for it? I've been a workaholic in my time with the best of them, but I never got close to being dangerous :(

    Sorry but what you are doing isn't admirable. it's dangerous
