    IF YOU'VE DONE AN APG CHECK THAT HAS COME UP ..

    Morrisions N/A*

    THEN DO IT AGAIN ..... NEXT MONDAY (or later)

    Thanks for this, I never noticed it before

    I've checked my receipts and I still have 6 APGs which say Morrisons is N/A. Mine are dated every day between 2nd and 6th of January. I'll check them again next Monday and see if I get any larger amounts back

    I have chucked out so many receipts that came up "Asda was 10% cheaper", I wonder how many of them had Morrisons N/A and I just didn't realise...

    It makes no different to some of us "seasonal users" - we shop @ Asda using either Tesco or Sains list. Never Morrisons because Morris does not show all the offers and its quite difficult to know what's cheap & what's expensive its like playing Russian "Rolex" roulette.:rotfl:
