Close enough Pay £5, APG £2.91, so £2.09 per meal deal.

Will obviously depend on the rest of your basket, but figures for the meal deal alone -

1x Chicago Town The Takeaway BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza (635G) £3.75v£3.93 APG = 21p (£3.75-£3.54)

1x McCain Lightly Spiced Wedges (750G) £1.85v£1.00 APG = 95p (1.85-90p)

1x Ben & Jerry's Caramel Chew Chew Ice Cream (500ML) £4.00v£2.50 APG = £1.75 (£4.00-£2.25)

I make it £2.08 on one meal deal as, to be at least 10% cheaper than M's price on the pizza, it has to give 40p off M's price (the 39.3p rounds up - merely giving 39p would still not quite be 10% cheaper). The calculation is therefore £3.75-£3.53, although the penny could be lost depending on what else is in the basket (as to whether, overall, they remove the 0.7p or maybe should be 0.8p as an exactly divisible by 10 competitor comparable bill seems to add a penny - but no additional penny to what a fractional 10% the 'right' way would have given).

So, it may be £2.08 for one meal deal, depending on what else is in your shop, but a second deal in the same shop (depending again on what else was bought) won't give the £2.08 figure again but instead it will be £2.09 as the fraction left on 10% off £3.93 x2 still rounds to give the same one penny, not two, whether one or two are bought. But this will be affected by the rest of the shop as to what the end digit of the Morries comparable total bill turns out to be. By itself, a single meal deal and nothing else comparable against M in the shop (of enough qualifying items to get an APG in the first place) or everything else at M returning at an M price exactly divisible by 10, will in effect make that one meal deal obtained for a net price £2.08 once you then use the resulting APG voucher and that value is deducted off your next shop.

Yes it is - or cheaper at any rate. Did someone make the mistake of buying that at T and, therefore, even if every other branded item in their shopping was enough cheaper all at one other place (so that the difference came to about more than £1.55-£1.61 on those items), chose to pay £3.18, £3.20 or £3.15 for their box of bitesize Shredded Wheat (but maybe thought - and very likely still mistakenly believes - they were paying T's price for that and getting something off their shopping bill)?

No, they were in Ts and buying unbranded essentials, then saw this and thought it was a good price that couldn't be matched anywhere else. I accept that 10% could have been saved by buying at A, but that would have involved petrol and time.

Morning

The multi buy has updated on the Quorn and the offer is now showing correctly.

There has been a change on the multi buy for the pizza meal deal, in that it indicates there is an offer. However, there is no offer price showing, only the individual price of the items included in the offer.

Not seen an offer like this before; I think this should still glitch and compare the items individually, but this is my personal opinion.

If you want/need the pizza deal, which is a good deal anyway, if you have a spare womble to two, worth a punt

I know it is - I just went to a.com before I came here, saw it and my response was ":mad::mad:typical, that the beggars put it on there now!". My planned shopping - I had everything worked out, all the right bill, everything ready to pay for it, won't be happening anymore! It's typical that we would have freezer space tonight although not right now. I could have done with buying the other items I had ready in a comparison against M as well, but never mind!

Does that mean I'm trying all those (supposedly) risky lollies packs instead?:rotfl::rotfl:.
I think not!:D

Morning :wave:

Thanks for the meal deal glitch, those pizzas are quite nice, you can never have too much ice cream too. Just noticed on m website ice cream reduced to £2, I guess it will be fixed before this shows on apg

Hope your girls are alright QoC, are green houses more likely to break though in this weather?
