1x Baileys The Original Irish Cream (1l) £10.00 £15.00

Dislike. Why don't they keep that on its own shop?:mad::mad:

As for the receipts at my stores, they have been rather poor of late:(. I had a few earlier where they bought 6 or 7 different items:(. People sticking to the same version of products bought in duplicate - I had one that could have been good (I will never know) - but, after the carrier bag and the other non-grocery are excluded, just 7 items:(. Why couldn't they just add a flump? Yesterday was so rubbish with them - most receipts turned out to be one or two items short of 8 and then one that did qualify - more than 10% cheaper:(. Hooray. "Told you so - more than 10% cheaper!:D":(

I then had one really really long receipt but all that lot resulted in just 75p:( - the receipt was so long I would feel embarrassed at using it for such a small amount and so, very unusually, I chucked it. The next one, I wasn't a member of 1p club but it gave the 2p club instead:(. In fact, coming at the end of all that poor lot, when 2p came up I just laughed - it was just hilarious:rotfl::(:rotfl::rotfl:.

Today is a similar story with most of the few receipts, people just not buying enough. Or, with all those good items glitching, people buying other items on the 5 for £3 soups and getting them appearing at 60p each:( and then the whole shop ending up no voucher. I did get one good one though - Morries cheaper:D:). A number of items on offer a pound cheaper than at A - none of them fantastic for straight 10% off M - anything good is already on the M list - that tipped the balance and gave a voucher for nearly £6:). Hooray. First good return in a while - been relying on my glitch shops giving me the vouchers back instead of the wombles:(.

Definitely worth going today though and finding the almost £6 womble as, with the APG on my own shop back, that is more than the original cost of my shop:money:.

I reckon you should have gone :-
2 x Gillette Fusion Razor Blades (4pk) £22 £15
1 xBaylis and Harding Jojoba or Mandrin £10 £3.75

I reckon that would give £15.13 AGP, fillers ignored. Nett cost £6.87 , again fillers ignored.

Baxters against T in 4s, not Heinz. Heinz is the trigger.

There is an alternative of Crosse & Blackwell Best of British against T - but only three varieties should be comparable for that - and, again, T 4 for £3. Do not mix with Baxters in the same shop as it is a different offer.

Crosse & Blackwell tins (same three but need four in total) should also work against M, one version at least worked for me (as I just stuck to one due to personal taste). Or Batchelor's Cup a Soups (as long as M has them) - again keep separately, they can't be mixed together in the same shop.

My SAs (insofar as I go to a staffed till) must be wondering about my strange shops - just one tin of Heinz and four completely different products:rotfl:. Or - why buy one Cadburys product and then mix with four Black Jack sweets?:rotfl::rotfl: Black Jacks only compare against M.

Yep, Shop 1 was 3 x Tresemme and 3 x Mens L'Oreal Sport.

2nd Shop was Lip crackers.

I'm so mad at myself!

I would take a hit on all fillers, return the gift sets but only one set/receipt, then give it a few days before returning the other. Just say you got the wrong items (as you did ) - they rarely ask anything apart from is there anything wrong with them anyway. You have 28(?) days to return.
