    Just back from my windy walk that will blow the cobwebs away


    Just to keep everyone entertained lol...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
  • just wondering/posting for info

    just looking at doing shop list and as you know i add expiry of offer where poss.

    and have noticed more and more tesco offers are running onto tuesdays now so price change on weds instead
    asda seem to be changing/adding some offers later too used to check prices on mondays but finding this no longer works as somethings change a day or 2 after i've checked now.

    Like bullshot, I still don't understand this either. Have been reading this thread for ages but obviously must be missing something as lots of you talk about APG. Is there somewhere I can read about it fully to try and understand it properly? The way I understand it is that you buy stuff more expensive then claim APG back - why not buy in cheaper supermarket if you have one locally or am I missing the point here?

    There is no dedicated thread for APG fortunately!!!!!!

    Its just better if you don't have a cheaper supermarket nearby and also if you have got conditional spend vouchers, it makes worthwhile using price check.;)

    Also for APG, you get 10% extra difference if it is cheaper elsewhere....;)

    I have googled allotment vouchers but not come up with much. Would love to know a bit more about these.

    That is something Doc knows but doesn't want to disclose...:p:p:p:p;)

    Totally agree that it is good to be reminded about this sort of thing. I agree a lot of women do have their handbag on the front seat.

    Many years ago, I heard about someone walking past and opening a car door to grab a handbag from front seat whilst sitting at traffic lights. Since then, I always put the handle of my bag through the seatbelt before fastening it so that if someone did open my door to grab it it was held firm.

    Few years ago went to ASDA. Had DD2 in a trolley seat with handbag next to her. Just turned slightly to get a pizza out of the freezer cabinet and when I looked back 5 seconds later handbag was gone!
    Major feeling was relief that DD2 was OK but it was really inconvenient as we were moving house 3 days later and credit card companies thought it highly suspicious that I wanted new cards sent to a new address!
    I learnt my lesson - handbag never leaves my hand now.

    Actually, thinking back, things got even worse. Woke up the morning we were moving to find someone had broken into my car and damaged it so badly couldn't drive it. Had a right to do with the insurance company as they wanted me to produce my docs when the garage man turned up but they were buried in one of hundreds of boxes on a removal lorry :eek: Finally arrived at my new home in a pick-up truck!!

    Where is everybody - its sooooooooooooooooo lonely on here this afternoon :( I'll get carted away soon if I carry on talking to myself!

    Thank you. Ah, guess I am lucky then in that we have all the big (and not so big) supermarkets nearby, all of which I go past at least once per week.

    Ok, lucky Doc, just love the sound of M&S vouchers - sheer luxury!
