    Bit of a stupid question but when updating the SS are we submitting the date we get the item confirmed on or the day that they where paying the DTD for?

    Nothing is a stupid question, if you don't know the answer.;) The date you receive your voucher confirmation please.

    My bad. I thought it was a profit one but it's not! The Finish dishwasher tablets are though but I don't think they'd taste as good a WKD.

    I'm going to try for my first DTD shop this afternoon so I think it will be mainly WKD and Finish and maybe a toothbrush or two. I take it my best option is to put the DTD through as one transaction then either put the rest as a 2nd transaction or persuade the husband to come with me and use him to pay for the non-DTD stuff?

    I did ask my mum who is normally quite savvy with this stuff and she's of the opinion there's too much faffing around. If there was an Idiots Guide post for what to do and what not to do I think more people would do this. Then again, if every man and his dog did the DTD then Mr T may withdraw it a lot quicker.

    dont buy too many dtd items on one shop make sure u work it out to the 20 quid dtd mark as u may lose money toothbrushes and dishwasher tablets together will take u over the £20 cap :eek:
    best win in 2011:eek: 4 nights in Las Vegas :eek:
    2011 wins £8,752.00

    I wish I had a dishwasher lol

    Yes, put the DTD items through on their own to get your voucher. Some non DTD items can bring the total voucher down if they are cheaper in Asds. You could put a toothbrush and the 2 x 4packs of wkd through together - total spend £18.96 - total voucher back £19.96! :D

    Then put the dishwasher tablets through seperately (have you printed of a £5 voucher for this from before Ishop - and also a £5 co-op voucher which tesco's take as a competition voucher?) to get another voucher back :)

    all this talk of wombling receipts has got me thinking.... i found one the other day but they paid by card & used a cc so don't know whether to enter it in pricechecker or not?
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:
  • going to kill off a vouvher today so I'm going to be searching for things the same price so as not to get 'ripped off'.

    If I come across any good dtd then I shall post but they will not be confirmed.

    Going to be a bit strange using the compare website to find things the same price!

    Just knocked up an app this morning cus I was bored. Called it Mr.T :)

    Shows the spreadsheet as a searchable grid. You can also order it by the columns available.

    Clicking in the grid gives you a preview at ASDA.com so you can check the price.

    And there's a noddy shopping list as well.

    Oh it requires .net framework 3.5 (which is already on vista/win7 I think?).

    Link is here:-

    mixjig.com/file.php?id=a1747a95d52e213da838a4f1f0cdbf9d (the other has popups apparently :()

    Enjoy :rotfl:
