    These are the products you have to buy to get upto 50p off litre T's fuel promotion

    :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Not that it's any good for me at all (IF I only lived in Hatfield) ....

    ... I wonder if ANY 5 vouchers will qualify for the 50p (presuming that they will ALL be the same) OR you will need 1 of EACH DEAL (presuming that they will have to be DIFFERENT and are IDENTIFIABLE - 1 x Andrex, 1 x Heinz, 1 x Nescafe, 1 x Fairy, 1 x Robinsons)

    If NOT the latter, then 5 Sainsbury's targeted JTD shops buying 5 Robinson's deals (5 x 2 bottles) would cost you £20 since they're just £2 there

    OR

    Sainsbury's (maybe ASDA) JTD targetted shops and buy 5 x 300g Nescafe would cost you £23.90 (or £25 at A) since they're £4.78 (£5)

    Good morning all,
    I am just popping on quickly, I have not read back will try to catch up later. DD3 is home after her op, she is in a lot of pain, badly swollen and her speech is badly affected :( Facial specialist has said that her adult teeth are destroyed and won't come through, she will need extensive orthodontic treatment :(

    I can't put into words how I feel really, I am devastated for her how injured she is and what is to come for her, upset that my baby is so hurt (I cannot physically speak about it to anyone because I cannot stop crying) and bl00dy fuming at school who will be getting a visit from me tomorrow (teachers are all in school even though it is the hols) I am not a confrontational type at all but I cannot let it go. What if another child get's badly injured?

    Any advice would be welcome on how to "word" things.

    Anyway, enough rambling from me. I hope everyone else is well. I will try to get on again tomorrow.

    Jax, I have not forgot about you and the T coupon's, I just have not been near a supermarket since last week, corner shop has been getting my business.....!!!!!

    I am so sorry to hear about you daughter FV. No advice on how to word stuff, if was me would prob put it in writing. I like a copy of things.

    Take care and good luck with your visit to the school.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Sorry AH - Not a "genuine" way - only if you want to edit a bit of HTML :naughty:



    Are ALL the items on MySM ?
    Obviously the Ink Cartridge won't be in the 8 but that means at least 2 others didn't count making it think it's 7 or less.

    I noticed the other day with Lake District cheese - the 350g size wasn't there for A - only the 200g size - despite the fact I bought the 350g in store and it was on Asda's website - accordingly it didn't appear in the list even to be compared.
    Another day I bought Jumbo mushrooms, not the normal 4 pack at £1 but a "new?" 2 pack at 50p (actually on a manager's special of 25p) BUT this WASN'T EVEN on Asda - so how could MySM even know about them ?

    I'd suspect the Food to GO first and possibly the Haircare product second but really need more details of each brand/size etc to be certain

    Only thing absolutely guaranteed is the BANANAS :D

    If you want to post FULL information I'll have a closer look

    I Finally realised what the food to go was in my shop, a single packet of walkers prawn cocktail crisps:cool: Here's what I bought

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=huggies%20newborn%20size%201 The £3.25 pack

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=mcvities%20ginger%20cake The cake at £1.20 not the bars

    Gia Garlic Puree http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=Gia%20garlic%20puree (oos at Asda so you need to change to Tesco to see it

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=wash%20and%20go%20universal

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=jaffa%20cakes%20triple%20pack

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=mcvities%20dark%20chocolate%20digestives 400g ordinary dark choc

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=asda%20white%20potatoes%202.5kg

    900g of loose bananas

    All on mysuper and sold in Tesco etc. I have always got 9 or 10 items just in case something doesn't compare, but cannot see what wouldn't apart from the single pack of crisps

    Thanks CosmiC and BP for posting the petrol details. It's a lot of stuff to get, think my option if I had a few Tesco's nr and could be bothered would be to buy a couple of each of the items each shop and then when get home my hubby/mum/the dog:cool: decide they not like the item and take back:D But my nearest Tesco's would cost me a couple of quid each visit so will fill up at a cheaper petrol station nearer home instead and stick to friendly Asda and womble the 50p off equivalent APG's:D:D

    I went on a Sainsbury's mag search yesterday so could get some beer. No mags in 3 stores, guess not meant to drink beer flavoured water

    Hi Farmville
    Don't worry about me, I shouldn't be in your mind at all!!!

    My heart jumps when I read what has happened to your DD, and I have a tear in my eye at the pain you must be feeling each time you look at your DD.

    Give your DD a warm loving hug from me.

    jax xx

    Food to Go = Walkers Prawn Cocktail Crisps ????????

    seems ODD to me

    Sounds like a mis-scan - was the price right ? 49p ?
    What's the rest of the code on the receipt?
    Have you checked the barcode on the crisps against the receipt ?

    hmm i made an actual post but it seems to have dissipated

    Off to clip the coupons for tomorrows shopping in front of extreme couponing.
    Glad i was only doing a little run.Its taken me all day to work up the energy to sort my list never mind the dozen and one other things i should have done.And the printer seemed determined to misprint or eat everything tonight(compatable cartridges are all good but sometimes their a pain to get going).Never mind

    Love and hugs to you all
    Night everyone sleep tight xx

    What channel are you watching extreme couponing? I haven't seen it on real time recently and when it was on I recorded it on my new tivo box and hadn't changed the settings so they got deleted:(

    If anyone has got the pizza express 2 for one vouchers from the Daily Mail Rewards check them as mine from before the new points scheme run out on the 25th (Wed). I'm off for a meal tomorrow:D

    Farmville, you and your husband must be absolutely devastated for your daughter :( what an awful, awful thing to happen to her.

    I agree with Blue, verbal is ok, but you need it all in writing as a back up, and I think this needs to go as high as the School Board, hence needs to be in writing.

    Hope your poor daughter is not in too much pain today and is able to talk a little easier.

    Haven't seen extreme couponing on lately on RT. Think it is finished.
