HUGE SAVING-Fairy,Ariel, Head and Shoulders, Pampers!!

Right maths is not my strong point but here it goes-
Sainsburys have Ariel and Fairy products on offer, for instance Fairy non bio gel normally £8, now half price. Same for the Ariel...
That in itself is a good deal I think at half price... but... for every £10 spent on the various products you receive a £5 voucher. This voucher actually comes in the form of two £2.50 vouchers.
One is for £2.50 off of any Ariel and the other for any Fairy.... So I went straight back round and picked up another 3 x Fairy Gel and 1 x Ariel Gel, bring the cost to £11 and you guessed it another two vouchers. You could carry this method on until a. you run out money b.they run out of stock!! Alternatively when you've brought enough... your last two purchases will be one of each at the cost of £1.50 each RRP £8 each.... Thats a massive saving
First purchase (for me)
3 x Fairy Gel = £12- SAVING £12
Second Purchase
3 X Fairy Gel + 1 x Ariel = £11 SAVING £21
Third Purchase
1 x Fairy + 1 x Ariel= £3 SAVING £13
TOTAL SAVING = £46
should have cost £72
However you could just keep repeating second purchase.
Please let me know if my calc is wrong :rotfl:

Plus, register with supersavyyme credit crunch brands and get money off coupons back:
http://www.supersavvyme.com/creditcrunch/home.aspx
Applies to Fairy, but not Ariel, plus Pampers, Bold, Silvikrin, Nice N Easy, Gillette, Flash & Lenor (has been posted elsewhere but thought I'd mention in case missed). You need to say which store you will be using then send off receipts (freepost). Then they'll email you to say coupons on their way and you can do the same again. You could keep redoing just for Fairy, then never have to buy again
.
Warning - coupons have a short life so you'll need good storage :rotfl:
Edit: Does anyone offer counselling if you have to pay full price for soap powder, fabric con, DW tablets, toilet paper etc? I still have flashbacks to the time I had to buy full price toilet paper:eek:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

MoC on Supersavvyme are only for Tesco, not Sainsburys.
The Credit Crunch Brands, you have to find the stock that has the sticker on it for Credit Crunch Brands, otherwise you cannot send off for them.0 -

ooh, and they sent you the vouchers? Because you had bought the brands?
I have only been buying the credit crunch stickered ones when I can find them...
if it works with the branded products that they stiuplate, then off to send my receipt from buying pampers last week.0
