    Numbers not miners ha!

    Firstly it isn't your fault. It's an MSE issue, more often than not happens when you post using an iPad, but sometimes with other devices. You can go back and edit out the numbers, but we are used to it by now.

    Hi to save Josie time my actual results were
    against Sainsbobs
    1x Casillero Del Diablo Merlot (75cl)
    £7.98
    £6.25
    1x Wolf Blass Yellow Label Chardonnay (75cl)
    £7.98
    £7.00
    1x Wolf Blass Cabernet Sauvignon (75cl)
    £7.98
    £7.00
    2x McGuigan Reserve Chardonnay (75cl)
    £14.50
    £12.00
    1x Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (75cl)
    £9.48
    £7.00

    This was my test shop it showed !!!!!! at full price not showing the 25% off, haven't been since

    It will compare against T at full price - the 25% off is an excluded offer so, as a category-wide promotion at T, it won't be picked up. It's also the reason why, when there's a similar offer at A, it doesn't get picked up. Not that they have 25% off at A that often? So, we need a category-wide offer at A, that doesn't get picked up, and a straight 'low' offer price, or low equivalent on mbuy that fits in, at a competitor.

    As usual I have neglected to take any details of wines at M, as I didn't know in advance that anything would be on, except for some hopeless 'reduced' ones. You can tell any glitches in advance - they'll be whichever shelf I ignored at M as the prices, in themselves, didn't seem to be good enough offers. That's missing the point somewhat with glitches though - the competitor prices do not have to be the cheapest they go to, instead much of the saving that works out at being much cheaper is from full prices appearing at A.

    In fact, we don't "need" a category-wide offer at A - something such as a 3 for 2 that doesn't get picked up or an mbuy on its last day or with an invisible trigger may do - but I am just talking about matters in the context of category-wide offers and what was best - namely category-wide offers at competitors don't get picked up. It would therefore be best if a category-wide offer was at A, as that also wouldn't get picked up.

    Just to get rid of the errors in your posts:)

    If you are on iPad or iPhone, go into settings, general, keyboard and then turn off smart punctuation and it should sort you out:)

    Hi ashley welcome to the thread. Hope this post from TM will help.

    Good afternoon everyone :wave:

    If you go through self service, the till will accept the voucher fine, without calling for assistance. The SA will just have to approve the alcohol.

    The feeling you get when you pay full price for a restaurant meal having found no discounts available online ... only to find vouchers being given out in a shopping centre promo booklet on the way out for free kids meals with adult mains :o.

    Heads up to the Bfast Elite posse - Victoria Center Wizard of Oz promo booklet has vouchers for T G I Fridays and other shops in the centre.

    Also NI Rail have a family ticket - up to 2 adults and 4 kids for £18, all day unlimited travel anywhere in NI until the end of the month :cool:.
