How very dare you!!:mad:


The reason it took me almost 2 years to pass my test is because I drive more like this.

I was once cautioned for going 50kmh on a rainy road near Waikouaiti. It was on SH1, with the rain pouring down and I was driving a BIG van. :( I did pull over wherever i can to let vehicles pass, but with a big van, it means that i can only pull over where there is sufficient space on the road shoulder.

the problem with roads in NZ is that they are mostly one lane ones, and some roads are really winding.

You can say that again. Some don't even have tarmac!

Not sure if I've had a good idea or not.

Huggies Pure wipes ... S= B1G2F @ £2.59 ... A = £1 each

Buy 3 in A for £3 and after APG get 3 for £2.33 ... 78p (ish) each. Of course no Nectar or CC points. Is this good?

(I have £1 MOCs from baby box as well)

You can get 2 boxes of 6 in sainsbo for £8 makes it less than 70p each. Also look out for mothercare as I normally get them in there. £6.66 for 9 packs when on offer and sometimes runs when they do 3 for 2.

Oh thanks for the sugar tip auu ... yes just been to get 6 (more) packs of dog food (£6.48 vs £5@T) so will get £1.98 APG per pack. Makes each pack £4.50.

I got 7 of the reduced items to make up the shop.

Got a £42 shop down to £25 (2 x APGs and a £5/£40) ... and will get nearly £12 APG back

I hope you have chosen the reduced items very carefully! If they compare then your savings on them will eat up your apg

Each flavour of your dog food counts as one item, so if there is 3 or 4 flavours then that's 3/4 diff items already.

Ohh no, just re read your post. Some of the reduced items are matching against other shops full prices so you may loose your money and get no apg back

If your doing an APG shop DO NOT buy any of the reduced items with your APG shop as it will match against full prices in other supermarkets

^^^^^^^exactly my point too^^^^^^

HELLLLLOOOOOOOO

A local MSE, how excitong!!!!!!

The scanner in the food aisle at p4rkhe4d is kaput. Has been since the first day i visited

The scanner in the car maintenance aisle works just fine. I only found it 2 days ago when looking for blue maggots!! Have fun scanning on your next visit ;-)

Oh, helloooo :wave:Never realised you were from this neck of the woods! I couldn't find the car maintenance aisle, walked up and down for ages past clearance, toys, stationery, household, etc and gave up eventually. I was looking for the maggots too . Thanks for the tip

Sorry if already mentioned, but Superdrug have messed up with the sun lotions online.

Some of the offers are better than half price and bogof, there's free delivery until Monday too.

It might be better to do separate orders so you get the best value.

Don't forget cashback too.

I put the stuff I got into the APG on Sunday and noticed they matched some of the stuff against full price at other places, but the shop was nearly all the reduced stuff so it didn't matter I just entered out of curiosity really.
