    ML has certainly made things worse....over the past few days the reduced section in my local has had approx. double the number of boxers/wrestlers/cage fighters.

    I've even tried getting my claws out. :eek::rotfl::eek:

    So I just go to the Express stores now...much quieter especially as the majority of students have gone home for the summer. :cool:

    Got to agree Karlie, mine have got worse too:(But give them a few weeks and if their not hardened whoopsiers they'll drop off;)
    Beware!!!! Glitching is addictive:rotfl:
  • Duckling Saga!

    We rescued 15 duck eggs 4 weeks ago when Mr Fox had mum for dinner. Last night 1st egg hatched, followed by another this afternoon and another is just starting to break out. Thought you might like to see photo's, will let you all know what happens.
    No t's for me today, thanks for the pizza, yogurt and b& j's info.
    Many thanks to Snap-ant for the quiz which I thoroughly enjoy even though it takes me ages to complete on the laptop.
    Love to catch up on your lives/posts etc even though I never find anything new or post very often
    THANK YOU

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.

    Hmmmmm, the plot thickens........

    I had bought 2 x B&J = £10 plus 2 x own ice cream lollies = £2 + 'cool bag' making a total of £13 charged and it still didn't trigger the deduction for the bag.

    Yesterday my local T's was giving them to nearly everyone, I only spent £6 and each cashier had a stack of them at their till & were putting them on everyones bill. She gave me one and told me you get one free when you spend £10 on chilled food, I hadnt but it still came off. I hadnt seen them in this store before, but I had got some from the local extra last week, so I have been looking for them. I reckon some stores have either only just recieved them or only just realised what they are supposed to be doing with them. The extra had them out over a week ago and doesnt have any left now.

    evening guys and gals .... hope everyones enjoying the weekend :)

    the sun has been out here all day so the kids have been angels playing outside... happy days for me...tires them out ready for bed! ;)

    Apologies in advance if the next bit offends anyone...and I dont want it to cause chaos on the thread....buuuuuttt.....

    it seems that over the last few weeks the ethos on this thread has gone to pot!!! we've had some newbies to MSE appear (welcome and hi!!)...so maybe some dont realise their errors...but theres many other not so new MSErs and even regular eliters that seem hell bent on bending the rules so far it could potentially snap altogether.

    I'm talking about things like deliberately using mocs for the wrong product purely to get a better deal, using JTD vouchers even though you have returned evey item on the reciept...and today we have taking your own stuff into Ts and scanning it purely to get a deal and JTD.......unbelievable.

    Are we really not happy with the deals that we get offered and the legitimate ways we can fleece Ts without deliberately bending the rules to a point which could put an end to it all?

    Remember folks.....

    original DTD was stopped and changed to JTD when people took the P.....
    it was then capped....

    they used to accept mocs even if you hadnt bought the product - people took the P - it stopped

    they accepted competitors mocs.....people took the P - it stopped

    I for one would rather them continue to let me use mocs ....but abuse will more than likely end this too.

    A's dont offer half the 'incentives' as Ts do to obtain your custom (yes we all know their service etc is better)....maybe Ts will go the same way.....then we'll all be moaning even more and having to spend a lot more :(

    rant over.....just would like to see the thread return to its ahem...law abiding ways ;)
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    I have had to argue twice (!) today with SAs about this voucher when used on the price dropped sausage. Both said that I had to have what was on the picture!! My DS wanted to curl up and die I think.
    Then I had a similar issue with my free cake!
    Oh joy.

    Next time you use it, cut the picture off. You dont actually need it - the scissors symbol is on the inside of the lines. That will be one less excuse to refuse it.

    Take the boxes off the pizzas, you'll get loads more in. I just cut the cooking instructions off one box just to remind me what temperature to cook them at.

    I took mine out of the boxes too. It is amazing howw many more you can get in ;)

    Good question- as with the pizza coupon from this round- there aren't any T's pizzas which actually say "Takeaway" on them, but that is what the voucher said...

    might be trail and error?? Sometimes it depends how they are classified on the web grocery page... I hope it includes yogs-

    I asked this the other day. Perhaps it will be clearer when the booklet is in store and see what picture they put on the coupon.

    What a good suggestion- thanks!

    I think that I will try it before I get any more...has anyone tasted it yet?
