How does this work? You buy 4 quorn products for £6 and it compares to M's at £1 :eek::eek::eek:

Sadly not! I've explained this before but it was a while ago. The first pricing (or set of pricing) is the A pricing; the second set (or in fact, here, just the straight £1) is the M price. So you can buy one of them at £1.90 and try to compare against M at £1. Or you can buy 4 for £6 (it's mix and match in A so if you buy different types of the frozen Quorn products it will obviously affect the actual A price you pay if you hit multiples of 4) and 4 for £6 ought to compare, obviously, against 4x £1.00 for M. Or preferably wait for the mbuy not to be online. I've put the A mbuy pricing onto the list to try to be helpful as well as perhaps alerting people to keep looking online on a.com to see if the mbuy ever disappears. I can't keep doing that as I'm often in M:rotfl:.

If the M price is a straight price and not an mbuy, I won't indicate how many to buy in A as you can buy any number (up to maximum ten of any one) - so just show the M price I have: I don't show how many to buy in A. Otherwise, it would be £1.90/Any 4 for £6.00 £1.00 £1.00x2 £1.00x3 £1.00x4, etc., depending on how many you buy...

It's simply A pricing and then M pricing. In fact if there's an A mbuy online (assuming it's not of the really £1.00 each instore but any 2 for £3.00 online glitch type), it's better to avoid buying the A mbuy as it should give more APG back. It should still be the same effective price for each one - but why buy more than one and say buy 4 for £6 when that is effectively having you spending fourfold that, with the cheaper M price in any event, you should not need to do (with the APG)? If it's the other way around and the item (or equivalent) is on mbuy in M, then, to get that pricing rather than the straight full price (which will be more costly), you need to buy the M mbuy number in A. Therefore, if it was for example "4 for..." in M, then I show "4x" before the product name and show the A pricing, at the time I last got round to updating it (I don't manage to update A prices very often so you need to check those online), that you would pay for four and then the M mbuy price. I tend not to bother with individual prices where it needs an M mbuy (indeed I don't collect the individual M prices routinely in these situations).

So that if, for example, something is 4 for £1 in M but 60p each (no mbuy) in A, I would show "60px4 4 for £1.00". If the A price was 40p and 3 for £1 (M being believed to be 4 for £1), then it would be "40p+Any 3 for £1.00 Any 4 for £1.00" in this situation. Just to clarify that, let's change the M buy to 5 for £1.00 - now I would put "5x..." and "40px2+Any 3 for £1.00" (depending on what the A mbuy is - if you didn't hit an A mbuy in order to get the M mbuy number, I would just show straight A price times however many. So, 40p and 3 for £1.00 in A and 2 for 60p in M - I'd put "40px2 Any 2 for 60p". I probably wouldn't show the A mbuy at all - I don't always do that: something you need to bear in mind if you are buying four and attempting to compare against M at £1.20 for the whole lot (in other words two times 2 for 60p)). You should check the A pricing of whatever you want to buy - the A prices on list do become out of date and I don't get round to updating them*. Let's put M back to 4 for £1.00. Obviously if you bought 8 and attempted to mix and match against different items all on the same mix and match in M, then you wouldn't pay 40p plus 3 for £1 - it would obviously depend on how many A mbuys you hit (which could see the A price actually being lower - something you need to bear in mind if buying different items from the list that are all on one mbuy in M). Occasionally I might show what's on mix and match with what else in M (comparable against there) on the Avs M list:rotfl:.

I think the example is clearer if say an item is 2 for £2 in A but 3 for £3 in M. You would need to buy "higher individual price plus 2 for £2" in A to try to match 3 for £3. If instead you buy six, you would not pay two times "individual-price-plus-2-for-£2" which would be showing on my list, instead obviously it would be 3 times 2 for £2, but I can't show all the possibilities on the list and you need to bear in mind you won't necessarily pay for one at full individual price if you buy more than stated and try to match a multiple number of the M mbuy - you may hit an A mbuy - or a further A mbuy - and thus the A price would be less.

*If you notice any A prices that have become incorrect, do let me know and I can then change them.
