Will they accept a £40 voucher against a £39.99 purchase please & can you take to a shop to sell rather than post? TIA 🙂

They'll give you change up to 5p

If the difference is between 6p to 50p you can put it towards other shopping in your basket

I saw A's 4 pint whole milk, that is the version available in England, comparing against M at £1 again earlier today. Semi Skimmed Milk is also doing the same:

1x ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk (4pt) £0.99 £1.00

I think the price collection stores could be finely balanced between £1.10 and £1 SELs as the APG keeps going from one to the other and now back again. It could well be one store that is doing this, going from or to having a SEL and not having a SEL. I have found the situation before on milk, where a store can have a SEL for, say, semi-skimmed milk but, if you look carefully, the SEL for whole milk is missing, or vice versa or any other combination possible. In theory therefore, perhaps in practice, we could see a situation where one type of milk got M £1.10 and another got £1 - if one store has no SEL for one of the types, then the figures returned from the stores overall may be affected - and could result in going to full price (say 6 stores, 3 showing £1.10, 2 showing £1 and one no SEL) or to £1 (2 showing £1.10, 2 showing £1 and two no SEL for example). At the moment we know British Whole Milk and British Semi Skimmed are comparing against £1 for M but I don't know about any of the others.

The soup glitch could possibly cover some of the Crosse & Blackwell tinned soups (those that are £1.07 each in A) if anyone really wanted them vs 4 for £3 for M. The ones that T has, which are not available in A, show M pricing but the ones that A has do not show the M products - I think M does have some, possibly all, of the ones that A has - at least some of these soups will be available for vs M, therefore, even though they aren't online, although I think people are probably doing it right and sticking to Baxters vs T or S. There's also a possibility of Batchelor's cup-a-soups vs M working out at the same price, although I am used to having cup-a-soups work out free rather than paying 28p each, or whatever it is, for them.

I don't think there is a glitch on Mr Kipling cakes. In my A, all the mbuy signage (2 for £1.50 on six different versions of them) has gone but they are still scanning with the offer. I think it is possibly the last day of this offer; however - fortunately since I have bought a couple as per my earlier plan on a non-APG shop - the mbuy is showing on a.com - it seems there is therefore no glitch to be had. If there had been, it would have been 20p off on full price vs full price against various places - however I would have had to spend more than 20p to get that back as I would have needed another 8-item shop - I could not have put one I wanted onto the shop I did ten minutes before seeing the no mbuys in my A:( as I have done a rare (it is usually very difficult!) Avs S shop and, even at A full price, they are still well more than 10% cheaper than S on at least one of the ones I wanted. I did right it seems therefore, buying them separately as no good comparisons from 2 for £1.50 appearance - they all lose out unless you find any of the six is N/A against anywhere - not looked at them all - and I have got the offer price for them, probably on its late day. Or maybe not:rotfl: - someone earlier thought the Dove Handwash might be ending on the 3 for 2 - I think it was simply a case of an A showing no mbuys on the shelf, much like some of my Ms from time to time, rather than any offer ending as my A had 3 for 2 signage on those, and still does.

The time the Dove handwash will go off A's 3 for 2 is the day after the offer gets pulled off the shelf display in my store. At least on them - on the Kipling cakes, either my store simply doesn't have the offer showing or, more likely it seems to me, since it did have it showing before, the offer is ending tonight - I picked one of the ones now without any price displayed at all:rotfl:. Just because it happened to be one of the two I wanted when I compiled my - for that shop - very short list for the shop.

I'm now wondering if I should try to return the lip balm and the hand cream or just take the hit.

But the Benefit sets worked against T so thank you, whoever worked that out, and especially 3dogs for the wonderful list.

Yes, as others have said, you mixed up different priced items. If getting different items in one shop, you need to make sure that they are the same price in A. Oddly, the Alberto Balsam damage repair shampoo works but not the conditioner, in a T shop. It's been commented on over last few days about the Nivea Q10, comparing or not comparing, but it is just v W now unfortunately, though still a good deal after cashback

It wasn't exclusively a 50 plus deal, it was open to everyone
