Incidentally has anyone had Sainsburys till spits this week. I've used both of my cards on about 3 shopping trips this week and neither have produced anything - usually the little used card gives me a £2 wys £20 or 200 points and the main card gives me a conditional spend for £60 - this one always gets passed along.
I used my normal card which gave me a 160 points off an £80 shop online/instore etc.
I started using a secondary card which I registered but it has less than 100 points, had no till splits at all from that yet.
I will let you know when I start to get any, if any at all - as I wanted to track it.
I did manage to find a £2.79 BM, My best S womble yet! (I used 2x 50p money off coupons for velvet toilet roll with the BM and took home 8 rolls for 19p!) I was very pleased. Wishing you all good luck!

Don't think I'd be able to teach her it anyways, she loves that song way too much! I now know all the words to it as well.

Thank you for the reminder for what to look out for. After my luck earlier this week with the beef roasts, I went back today and got two pork leg roasts - £24 with £24 DTD. The £6.99/kg are the smaller British pork roasts (union flag on back of packaging). The sel refers to large pork leg roast but wasn't sure if these would count as they are visibly smaller but noticed that in the two places pork was displayed it had two yellow sels with the start of the barcodes - different barcode for the smaller British and larger Netherlands joints (flashed half price), different sel but both yellow showing half price. Was tempted to get more than two but freezer is quite full with beef . :beer:
Lamb half leg doesn't seem to have yellow sel but in three stores £8.50 sell/£10.99 on packaging.
In my three DTD deals this week they needed prompting for double on two ocassions.
:beer:
You're welcome. The half and whole legs of lamb that I got had sel's of £6 per kg.0 -

Good evening - and good night again as I am just popping in tonight. You may already know mine - Sada receipt found in a Tosco car park when A were doing the £5 bonus - so it gave me a £5 off, but no APG.
Mine tonight - from A's car park - I've got a voucher on the APG:j...
...but it's for 10p.:mad::mad: Jump around soon stopped!!
I can also confirm the J West Tuna (needed for TCB snap and save - ends tomorrow) is working on APG. My shop from tonight is below. Also bought SmartP. apples (25p cashback snap and save if buy 50p worth) - they are now £1.20/kg in A:j:j:j. Helping us to get 50p easier! But they are comparing vs M at £1.00/kg. Why the jumping around? Answer: as the price in A has increased, thanks are due, as it would be possible to buy these apples and pay 50p in A but really to have paid less than that, as doing a comp. vs M, still at £1.00/kg! This can go on same shop as the Tuna. Tuna is 14p I believe (for 4 can multipack - after £3 back on TCB and 35p from APG. Off a comparison to M's price of £3.49. As regards the apples, I bought 3 apples, at 67p total anyway, so doesn't really matter. I have added them back onto my M list, even though I couldn't find them in M last time I checked - APG people obviously found them.)

I've found apples on wombles several times, like the bananas last week every other person seems to buy them so it saves me doing it! And a lot of the 2 litre cokes out there too.
Also those little receipts you don't normally pick up as too small for APG sometimes have the 500ml cokes on so nice to get something from those too! Learn from the past, enjoy and appreciate the present and work to make your future the best it can possibly be
And get lots of glitches!0 -
Can one of you that has access those google docs things pop onto the one ltf ?
set up the snappy one and delete a line or 3 for me
