DH just rang had to abort his mission no Aquafresh at S's:mad: the main BM says not even a space for it yet always bought there in past.:(

This is exactly my problem as well

"Just trying to make up a shopping list for S's to try and get a BM but need to spend £25 on toiletries healthcare and pharmacy as got 2 coupons one for 1000 np with £25 spend and 9p off per litre of fuel with £25 spend"

I was thinking of getting a razor for £11.99 (ones I've had before have given me £4 BM) and a load of original sourse shower gel at £1.10 each (small difference with Asda) But I really need something to bridge the gap and make the BM up to £10.

Even better if I could think of something that I had MOCs for. I thought of Plax first but it on offer in sainsburys so that would ruin a BM shop

I have a thousand for a £25 spend and 600 for a £15 spend, might combine.

I also have extra points for £60 shops so I thought that if I could figure out the £25 shop and then top up with £35 clothing - plenty of sale items in the clothing section. Mind you that might be pushing it a bit far ....

Morning Everyone!

I do APG and JTD but only buy what I would normally buy.

I use APG to get 10% off my shopping. Asda is very handy for me as its on the school run. If there are a couple of things I want that are cheaper or the same price in Tesco or Sainsbobs I buy them in ASDA and make up the 8 items with an onion, a kiwi, a couple of carrots etc. I only get small APG's but "every little helps".
Also I prefer to buy an item in Asda that's a bit dearer and use a moc for part of its cost and then get an APG back than try to get it for free in Tesco.

I use Tesco to spend my CS vouchers and price flops but to be honest I find it hard to do a £20 or £30 shop so I can get my shop up to that level by utilizing JTD. However, it will be harder now with the 8 item rule.

Also some moc's specify they can only be used in Tesco.

I tend to shop like that too, simply because A is the most convenient for me to get to (and womble :rotfl:) unless I go to Sainsbugs. I tend to use local Tacto for a couple of bits if I need a wee top up (just bread and the like) at lunchtimes if needed.

Speaking of which I did a wee top up shop today with OH who doesn't normally come with me and wasn't allowed to use and coupons or womble Had actually forgotten APG tokens but he said he wasn't coming if I was going to use any vouchers :eek: thank goodness it was only a small shop, I broke into a cold sweat and got the shakes paying for it :rotfl:

Why can't you use vouchers and APG with OH?

He gets embarassed Best Price, one of those men folk who likes to get in, hit the beer and pizza aisles, pick up the most expensive items which aren't on offer, nor do we have coupons for and get out of the store with what he sees as minimum of fuss. Me on the other hand is quite happy to hand over my APGs and any other coupons and wait until a supervisor can override the till due to the number I've used (though it's taken a little while to develop the thick skin)

If anyone is buying the muller stuff at ASda to get an apg watch what flavours you buy cos if Tesco don't sell the flavour it doesn't count as you have bought 10:(

3 x Muller Rice Smooth Toffee (190g)£1.80N/A
It sounds yummy but has cost me £1.30:o:o:o

Forgot to say Thanks to CW. I got some orange juice at last and despite the 6p mushy peas from asda looking a bit pale, they did taste nice as you said.

I guess it is better for you to go alone. Some people just don't get couponing and APGs and things. You are a very good wombler though arent you?;)
