The wonderful sparkly Elite Christmas thread of love, dreams and glitches ©

Happy New Year everyone.
My New Years Resolution is to only buy what I need as I MUST get my stocks down. Exceptions to this are glitches & MOCs that make items almose free. Any wombles are going straight onto gift card ready for next Xmas (will do this as part of essential weekly shop so not noticed - anaged £7.50 yesterday so good start - or buying Xmas gifts if good APG opportunity). My 3 freezers are full as are my fridges, garage & spare rooms. Need to reduce this as moving house in summer & would take weeks to pack it up as it is. Thanks to all on here as without you all I would not have this & would be paying full prce for everything.

Hi Elaine,

Do you just take your receipts / APG to the customer service desk. Do you round it up to the nearest pound?

No. I just add the amount on when doing my shopping then pay with APGs. Usually need fruit & milk at least. Alway choose a young person & never had an issue. When using the Asda fivers, used to bulk shop by adding £10 to gift card. Managed to fill 2 Xmas cards this year by doing this & adding my big APGs from the glitches. Then they added another £12 in total as the Xmas bonus. Did not get the £5 back as not spent £40 but always wombled the next one.

Comparison total (compared products only) £9.01 £13.19

Last one on this (my commenting) hopefully - if anyone finds it useful - or an unwelcome distraction - please tell me on here.
Sada cheaper indeed. I think these are the sorts of items the savvier shopper should be waiting till later this week on compare vs M on.
The Galaxy ripple 4 should be the Galaxy ripple 7 - £2.00 in M. The Toffee crisp bars - or something very similar if not them - are going to be under 80p in M - those diary milk bars need replacing by 1 (or 2) 360g bars - from memory £3.42 A £2 M. The Aero Bubblys probably need buying in S (v A), if they need buying at all.

[Cadbury Turkish might also work A vs M - I'll check what M's price is later.]

Update: price incr. on Galaxy ripple in M so no longer works.

hello all. popped to sada before it shut. only bought 10 p whoopsies. didn't really see any pjs left. very disappointing.

back to work tomorrow:(

but will be popping to t's and a's after work.

New's resolution is more wombling and whoopsies.:)
