    Hi, 1+1, me again. :p

    I did forget to mention that some bigger coupons will cause problems if they have to scale down when pasting to fit the margins of the destination document. :o:o:o:o:o:o

    It could have been that that caused your problem. It's important to make sure the coupon does not scale down as it will b*gger up the barcode.

    Simply put, it's sometimes better to just use neosi's method on its own for biggies. :o

    Sorry, guys, I really should have explained all this better.

  • Hi all doing my usual late night 'hello' when I get a chance - have skimmed thru about 2 days ( sooooo many posts!!) don't think I actually took alot in apart from this.. what happened to Happy?? I tried going bk but then ended up going forwards again and so posts got confusing - I have flu, actually meant Alzheimers but words/memory escapes me sometimes lol
    Pm me someone if it isn't appropriate to discuss
    Still no bargains for me but congrats to you all that have and a hug to anyone that needs it (god knows I have done lately but you lot all put a smile on my face when I get chance to have a read )

    Has anyone tried using 2 of the price drop coupons with the aero's?
    I've just worked out that you can get 24 aero's for £1.57

    6x £1.19 = £7.14
    - £3.57 (BOGOF)
    -£2.00 (2 x price drop coupons)
    Total to pay = £1.57

    Just over 6p each

    I thought the Aeros were £1.29 (plus BOGOF)? So 8p (ish) each ... still a good price ... thanks purdita

    Hello everyone, apologies, due to unprecedented demand, my pm box is filling up faster than I can empty it.
    Please be assured that I am working through your pm's as fast as I am able and that I will reply to them all. To help me with this, it would be really helpful if you could include your e-mail addies with your request, along with an idea of what you would prefer and I will do my best to get something off to you all.
    Thanks :)

    Don't apologise!! I for one prefer to print as many coupons on one page as possible, (because I'm tighter than a duck's @rse!!) and if that means the SA has to type numbers in, then so be it!! :p

    You and neosi are invaluable!!

    A portion of chilli out the freezer with grated cheese on top and a fougasse wheel.....nice but hardly photogenic I'm afraid!

    Hows you?

    I got told today I am supposed to use my clubcard to redeem a tillspit for £7 off 50. She had no answer when I told her that I didn't need a clubcard to be issued with it so why did I need one to redeem it!

    She let it go in the end after much flaffing and whinging.
