    3 x 10 Müller's in the fridge :eek:. I am so in trouble tomorrow ... I had to take quite a bit of fruit out of the fridge to make space :eek:.

    Anon

    You should treat Mrs Anon to a lovely new fruit bowl to stop her clogging up your fridge. :D

    Morning peeps.
    Been up since 6, well deserved coffee and a catch up.

    £2 off sparks offer working on Dine in meal deal:)

    There's an £8.50 Cava included in deal:)

    Can confirm that the £8.50 cava is included, thanks TM.

    Sadly no £2 discount on my card, wondering if it's because I checked my sparks instore rather than at home? :(

    Is mullers likely to work today please and thank you :)


    Can't stick my neck out and guarantee gocat, but still looking the same for me as yesterday.

    I think most folks would use APG from yesterday or wombles, so still 10 for £3 is not too bad if it is fixed :)

    Just bumping this for Anon.

    Chrisv already has done a shop with the Mississippi Mud and it shows on APG

    .

    That was on 25th April. Times have moved on - a.com may be different now to what it was back then, and the APG therefore be in a different state...

    In A they also had a Mississippi Mud Pie special edition corner that did not scan on the A app, so it maybe Aminvisible trigger (or may not - untested as we have visible triggers :D). I see it does show somewhere on A site though:

    That may now be invisible as it is no longer showing any pricing on a.com? If my theory is correct (it is usually wrong:rotfl:).

    If I am correct however, Raspberry Doughnut or Cherry Bakewell (one and the same) will be a visible trigger (better as it appears and itself gives a comparison and some APG) as it's showing unavailable (to be a trigger) but has the pricing on its page (so is visible). However, if that changes - if say the pricing disappears before midday, then prices from A and its competitors except M are updated "by midday" so, on shops done now, it could be an invisible trigger (if the pricing is gone from a.com by midday) or even fail:eek: (in what seems to be an unlikely event of the "Unavailable" disappearing and the item coming back into stock online and properly rejoining the mbuy with the 10 for £3 pricing still on the page and the item in the offer) since shops done now will have to be checked after midday and there could be another update from a.com.

    However, if a.com is still in its current state, unavailable but with pricing, into the afternoon then it should continue to work, unless it is a rare occasion on which prices for A are updated later than midday, a.com happens to change and the update occurs sometime today and before the receipt is checked.

    I think if the unavailable 10 for £3 makes it past midday, it's highly likely to work until at least 6am tomorrow. It may continue afterwards tomorrow too, depending on when the early morning update is done - it doesn't happen bang on 6am - and continue more if a.com continues to be the same as it is now. Personally, I would just go for it - do the shop now and not worry about whether it will work or not, as it seems not likely a.com will change today and most likely will work. Of course, if you come to do your shop and before you checkout you see that a.com has changed (and it's not already well into the afternoon after the APG update is likely to have already happened) then you may change your mind, either abandoning the shop altogether (if the item is back in stock and showing the mbuy*) or continue but with enough other items in your shop (if the item has gone completely unavailable in the sense of the pricing has gone - either it is unavailable on a.com or is no longer on the site at all - in these situations you will need more other items as the trigger will not count as an item, if a.com has been updated to that position of a.com by the time the receipt is checked).

    *or continue with the shop if you can switch to Mississippi Mud Pie (I understand that is a different BC to Rasp Doughnut/Cherry Bakewell?) but bear in mind it's likely to be invisible so need enough items without it.

    When Chris bought the mississippi mud pie it was showing unavailabe on asda dotcom savvy, thus looking and appearing the same as the cherry bakewell does now, but it didn't work :(

    The Mississippi mud pie had a change of identity, it had the same barcode as the Easter limited edition banana and mini egg corner, which had appeared on the APG. The Easter limited edition was formerley the Xmas Pudd muller corner, and before that the Halloween corner. All that happened was a new picture and description appearing in the online basket, each time they replaced this particular corner/barcode, with a new limited edition.

    The raspberry dogsnuts changed in my online basket overnight, to show as the Cherry Bakewell, but whereas the raspberry dogsnuts had NOT shown unavailable, when its identity changed to cherry bakewell, it THEN WENT unavailable on asda dotcom

    At the moment it is still showing unavailable for me
