Soooooo, 4 different types, buy 9 of three types and 8 of the other. makes 35 cans (divisible by the 5) = spend £21.00 (+fillers) and get PAG of £18.55, net spend £2.45, 7p a can.

Be good for one or two PAGs from GFs and foodbank would be over the moon

I think!

Not sure...

So does that mean a good price too?
Did you have a good Christmas? have you been bargain hunting today?

Means the same PAG, just covers for fillers etc to match stores.

Not been out today, two NSD's. My last day for droid pay tomz.

TBH I don't think Sales are all they are jumped up to be. Normally if I need something expensive (over £20) I track it's price for a while online, a month of two. I think the grocery price watching has made me so aware of shops fiddling prices to fool muggles.

Didn’t bother with any sales today, either online or real shops.

We were lucky enough to be gifted tickets for the football today and my boys were kind enough to deliver a win :T :T :T

:eek::eek: do you have this awful weather over the hogs back E?

Wasps nest =
New queens hibernate over the winter and start new nests each spring. Because they do not come back to their old nests, you can remove a wasp or hornet nest and keep it without worry that wasps will return to reclaim it.

It was a pleasant enough day, though cold, it is peeing it down now though! The Hoggs Back does normally break the weather up a bit, as you know.

IF, Big IF, it is a 5 for £3 deal not seen, would work out spend £3, and get a PAG for £5.35 - (£3 - £0.30) = £2.65 off of £3, 6p each??

Someone let us know plz, what items? and is is 5 for £3??

For whatever reason, the mbuy disappeared online on some of the items that continue to be in the offer instore. It may be that they just want to have the items at full price online like the 3 for 2 items that have always been an instore-only offer. There's been no indication to me that the items that have lost the mbuy online (which are the Batchelor's cup-a-soups and slim-a-soups and now some of the Heinz non-soup tins) are coming off the offer instore.

Potentially any of the items at all that are in the 5 for £3 instore could be glitchy (you just have to make sure you don't hit the mbuy number on any that show the mbuy online and the triggers are any of the items that don't have the mbuy online which you can clearly stick to in maximum of 10 of any one item). However, the items that are good at any one time depend on what the competitor prices are. In theory, you could buy Batchelor's cup soups as triggers, however that is not going to be very good due to competitors' prices on those at the moment. It also relates to A's individual prices - the higher the individual A price in relation to the cheaper the competitor price (which could be a competitor mbuy that gets picked up if you buy the correct numbers and products), the better it is.

It's already clear which items should be best vs M! These items:

Until 2/1/18:
5xHeinz Baked Beanz with Pork Sausages in Tomato Sauce (415g)Any 5 for £3.00 then £1.07x5 Any 5 for £3.00*
5xHeinz Beef Ravioli in Tomato Sauce (400g)Any 5 for £3.00 then £1.07x5 Any 5 for £3.00*
5xHeinz Macaroni Cheese (400g)Any 5 for £3.00 then £1.07x5 Any 5 for £3.00*
5xHeinz Spaghetti Bolognese (400g)Any 5 for £3.00 then £1.07x5 Any 5 for £3.00*
5xHeinz Spaghetti Plus Sausages in Tomato Sauce (400g)Any 5 for £3.00 then £1.07x5 Any 5 for £3.00*

The date of 2nd January is M's current end date - if M actually sticks to it, in terms of what is displayed as the price in the collection stores the APG uses, then it should last into at least part of 4th January and should end whenever the system updates to Wednesday 3rd January's collection results (as long as the mbuy doesn't end instore, or the items not showing it online don't get taken out of the offer instore or the mbuy appear back on them online).

It does not have to be five of each vs M, it could be one of each of the five but the more varieties are bought, the more would have to be put into the same M offer on the APG system for them to work.

In theory, you could mix and match with Heinz soups that are also on the 5 for £3 offer in M - however A's individual price on those is lower:( so it won't work out as well - the mix would be a maximum of 4 cans of those (the more that are bought the worse it is, due to lower individual price rather than £1.07 times several). For example, it may still be better than buying a can of SP soup vs M - instead of, say, five Spaghetti Sausages and one can of SP soup, it would seem better to get the soup as Heinz and buy four Spaghetti Sausages - although the price per can would then not be as low as it is, but would still work out lower than 10% cheaper than 24p that it would be for a SP soup. However, I don't think I'd risk the mbuy being picked up on the non-soups and the Heinz soups vs M.

Lots of different items in the A offer would work - be missing their mbuy if triggers from within the five above that don't have it online, or the Batchelor's cup/slim soups, are bought and as long as the mbuy ones online are not bought enough to hit the mbuy - but not all of the possible mixes would be good vs current competitor prices. [Strike]For example, Crosse & Blackwell Winter Veg. etc. soup could work vs T at 3 for £2 but would two other items, to get the 5 for £3, including at least one that has the A mbuy missing online, work out well against T?[/Strike] Scrap this - :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Ts (and I mean the seven symbols) has put its price back to full price on the C&B Best of... soup online.

Used a couple of wombles on ss today. Think I overpaid

just noticed
What does EPS stand for

EPS = Electronic Point of Sale

I think it's the figure for the gross profit on the transaction, the bit that gets totted up across all transactions across the store so they know the day's takings.

I think.
