good evening all
re -coke .. just been to adsa and bought 20 coke and 10 coke zero ,gave 10 vouchers for the coke zero ,= £12.70 to pay . may be old news as no time to read bach in detail but £1.73 a bottle £2 4 2 .30 x £1.73 then offer kicks in ,vouchers put thro manualy for £1.73 a bottle ,,htt x

not to sure if any better way to use the voucher ,would be grateful of details if so ,thanks x

Your way is great but there is always a risk of the SA putting them through at £1 each IF they realise they are on a multi

I'm going to redeem all mine in S where they are full price so no chance of price override and I'll get 95p back per bottle on my BM

I also got a till spit for bonus points if I spend £30 over all my shops in a 2 week window which I can easily do if I'm "buying" full price coke

Plus I still get 10xnectar points tomorrow :money:

[1] If apg updated their Morrisons data between your 2 shops that would account for the difference.

What are the times on your 2 receipts please? [2] Maybe this info will help with next week's potential glitch shops?

[1] I think correct.
[2] I don't think this will help us unfortunately, as the M update is always done at a different time each time.

I would however like to know the two times nonetheless, out of curiosity.:)

I think it tells us that, if we want old M data, we need to shop as early as possible (as long as we have the A-side glitch in the system by the time we shop). I think sometimes 10am is too late as the price update has occasionally been that early. Sometimes - on one rare occasion - it's been as early as 8.50am! It seems to have been settling around the evening (of Tuesday) which suggests daytime shops are okay but, even so, I would not, ideally, even want to wait until the afternoon (especially not late afternoon:eek:). Sometimes, daytime shops will fail (if they've got a new price for M) if the update comes unusually early to what it's been doing more recently. We'd hope it was delayed, but sometimes it is not delayed as much as we'd like. On occasion the prices have not updated until the Wednesday - obviously not this time - as we have found out when we have wanted new M offers but found we shopped the evening too early:(. In other words, if wanting new M offers from Monday, wait until Wednesday (and preferably late Wednesday evening) to be 'sure' the prices have updated first, unless we already know they have. However, if we feel that, from M instore, there is a bit of an issue with the pricing - or if a product has gone right down in price and needs a bit of approval to check it is right - then we should wait until the Wednesday collection updates (and wait until Friday night, or ideally Saturday to be sure it got updated at some point on Friday at the latest) - assuming the item is still on offer in M on the Wednesday (unless we know we are already on Wednesday at some earlier point).

The problem, with new M prices on Monday, sometimes is that the price has only just changed in M so that stores are, on various items, in a bit of a state of chaos (that's usual for my stores on Monday:(:rotfl:, whichever ones I use) - yes, Monday just gone was a chaos day in M again - I don't mean myself but the stores - as different stores not yet updated to show all the new offers - hence the conflicting prices I have, just the usual chaos, so goodness knows what the APG will have! - and often - usually - it does take until Wednesday for the new offers to settle down. There are always - at least the odd few - more changes on the Wednesday, never as many as Monday in my experience - and generally not as chaotic but there are always differences between some stores.

In fact, on Wednesday, it's more likely that a store will put an item up to show full price when it's still on offer, but another store still, correctly, to have the offer showing and then do so for several weeks - during which the store is correct as the offer is still on - whilst the other store then shows full price wrongly for weeks:(. And, don't get me started on mbuys on and off in M - they are a different topic in themselves! (Btw, in my stores, don't know if this is more general and will affect the APG, the Crucials products - of which only the Yoghurt & Mint is available in A - are not showing the mbuy in several stores. Obviously I have seen at least one which does have it showing - in order for me ever to be aware of it - but a minority appear to be doing so (where they have the product at all). Yet one of these is my store that never shows any offers in that section. I should use a different store:rotfl:. I will try, and I do - but sometimes I have to use it as it is the one most convenient and not possible to get to another (in addition to the others I use that time). I have had the mbuy showing in two stores, but, for me, that is a minority of them. However, perhaps it is no problem at all on the APG as they might have mbuy showing in all the stores they use. It's just random - and it's different items that different stores happen to get to changing and not. This in fact is no criticism of M - I suspect if I was to start doing price collections in A, T or S, or wherever else, I would find a similar situation - though obviously I don't collect in the other retailers since all the information for them comes from online.

Actually thinking about it maximooapg, was it the earlier transaction that worked or the one you checked first (if they are not the same)?Thanks

Evening luvlies, a question one of the techno people maybe able to help with. I've been using the snip tool on the laptop to resize apgs and mocs so I can get more to an A4 page. DH upgraded to Windows 10 yesterday and now the snipping tool isn't working, it comes up but won't drag around the image to copy, then if I select New, it just greys out the screen. I've googled it and it seems it's a problem, but can't find an answer. Wonder if anyone can help. TIA x

That may be true, but by pinpointing the time it happened today (and on other days) we can say things like " The earliest it has changed is 4pm" so if you are in Asda at 3.50 you know you are cutting it fine, or at 4.15pm you may decide not to risk a glitch shop if you can't afford to lose out.

You need to check a.com tomorrow and see if the mbuy is showing. Is what you are asking.

If it is showing:(, don't buy! If it is absent:D, go for it!

:think:May be better to have found an A to deliver from that doesn't stock it at all?:think::think::rotfl: (Perhaps they will sub. with 400ml Herbal Essence - although no good if you want dry shampoo - and best of luck for you and hope it is still working. It's the M side I didn't want to change (for my non-dry ones). For you, it's now the A side you don't want to change:eek::rotfl:.)

Are the Palmolive Invigoratings still RTC in A? As they are, as of all-important yesterday, £1 in M:D. May be three different fillers:D if they are still RTC in A (I assume you are on the old pricing system).

Thanks Savvy. I have done a c&c for tomorrow anyway as I had some vouchers to use up so no loss if it doesn't work.
I will post my results, later in the day.

Why not just buy a new one from ebay, save yourself over £400

I did say this to her from very early on but it seems the dress is a very big thing and she won't compromise on - deep sigh

I sent her a Monsoon link as they have bridal dresses and there were some in the sale but this was ignored

I suggested ebay and she said words to the effect that she would rather chew her own foot off ...

So far I don't think I've made one useful suggestion ...
