    Is anyone having problems with APG?
    I ordered online on Wednesday and have tried since Thursday to check and I keep getting the following message:

    We're really busy at the moment due to an increase in the number of
    customers using the ASDA Price Guarantee. We're sorry for any
    inconvenience, please try again later.


    Please be aware that between 9am and 12pm is our busiest time on the website, particularly

    Did one just a minute ago - took about 5 seconds from hitting the COMPARE PRICES button and finding out I had an APG for 92p :D

    AND I've been doing several just about every day for weeks/months (including the last 5 days) and NEVER had this problem

    Mickey - wondering if the problem relates only to the online shopping comparison as instore one seems to be OK. Might be worth a call to the CS APG team?

    Cheers - I have just emailed the CS team asking what the issue is - I sent them a complaint in December about continuous issues I have with the online shopping but no response so not holding out much hope!
  • I'm not sure if I should be posting this in red or blue!

    I tried to get the Dettol handwash machine at T*sco, it had gone up to £9.99, but they had one in Wilko's for £4.98 and took the voucher no problem.

    Wilko's also had deal on Cushelle £3.50 for 9 I think, but I hadn't printed the voucher, so need to investigate that further.

    I'm also not sure if this would be the place for this question, but how do you organise your coupons, I'm getting a bit overwhelmed and confused. I can see me wasting my efforts if I can't keep track of them.

    Finish Quantum on offer at asda at the moment £5 for 20pk with 100% free, used the £1 voucher this morning.

    In terms of coupon organisation - I keep a spreadsheet of all the coupons I have then have plastic wallets for all coupons and the different supermarkets. Sound a bit nerdy but it works.

    Nerdy would work for me! I've just Eb*yed 'coupon organizer' and found neat idea, which, if I can get my head around it I might be able to sew!

    I'm looking for something to take with me to the shops, I only have a small T*sco here, so they don't stock all the items, so I need to be able to think on my feet. I need a strategy. Ok, so I'm becoming a coupon nerd too, yippee!
  • I tried to get the Dettol no touch system today at Tesco and was gutted that its back to full price. Thanks for letting me know about Wilko! Will be heading there tomorrow to stock up. :) yay!

    I found a business card organiser works well for all my coupons. (tesco £3.99 i think) I tried the binder thing in my home managment binder didnt work so great. Its not fun carrying it around everywhere when im trying to shop. Ive attatched a filing system to the business card organiser for me to keep sections organised. Looks so pretty and VERY organised!

    Also - DOZYDORA - (Sorry, i havent mastered the art of 'quoting' yet lol) If you shop online just have a look through the internet on any discount codes. i normally get 'free delivery' or 'save 20%' on items. I dont think your able to use actual coupons online unless it says so on the coupon. Also, a great way to save some money would be to use topcashback or kidstart. Everytime you shop, you get money for doing so. I managed to save up £50 for my little ones bank account by buying stuff online. Hope it helps :) x x x x
  • Morning/Afternoon.
    This is my first post on here :) Just started couponing this month after seeing one of my mummy friends paying so little for so much in asda, and got hooked. How did you all start?

    Oh and - had a fab morning at Tesco, £60 shop down to £40. Hurrah!

    Hope everyone has a great day x x x

    Welcome, you have a very similar name to mine. :D

    I went into Co-op to get my bargain Domestos on my way home from work today, after forgetting my coupon yesterday, only to find that there were none left! That will teach me to carry my coupons around with me. ;)
