    Both mags have ice-cream on the front so its easy to confuse

    You DONT want the A4 blue mag

    You DO want the A5 yellow mag
    This reminds me.... When i went in first thing this AM with almost 3 yr old DS, I planned on picking up a few more mags. I grabbed 7 from the stand and there were 2 SA's having a chat next to it. DS pipes up "Mummy, put those back". I said something about picking up the magazine to read and he replies "We have those at home already"... :eek::eek: Too innocent for his own good!! I put them back as SA's were both looking at me and didn't want to draw attention to myself :rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm going back tomo morning WITHOUT DS in tow :p

    I have beer/shandy coupons and there is beer/shandy in Sainsburys but maybe not £20 worth tomorrow. Can anyone explain why you are going for a £20 shop. Is it solely just to get a £10 BM voucher in one fail swoop?

    You have to spend £20 minimum in MrS to get a BM a spend less than £20 doesn't generate anything

    Mr S will only do a brandmatch if you spend more than £20. So if you spent £19.95 on shandy, it wouldnt compare and you wouldnt get a brandmatch, but spend 6p more and you would! The confusing thing is that the max brandmatch they will do is for £10, so be careful especially with the shandy, dont buy more than 5 packs (£2 x 5) or you will loose money. Its best to make up the shortfall with home brand stuff (so no chance of it comparing) or buy an item of clothing that might not fit;)

    Evening landlubbers, the Cap'n here with wild stories of Adventures today in Sailsbobble land.

    As some shipmates will know the Cap'n has been off in the New World and is travelling again later this week to the Far East Company.

    Having read some of the latest signals here the Cap'n thought he'd try to stock up on Ale before he left.

    The Cap'n doesn't like to waste time so phoned yon CustomerCare before setting sail to ensure Ale was available in some local Berth.

    Having found out that BlancoChurch had 4 cases (24 packs) in stock we set out to capture yon booty.

    Arriving at yon store the Cap'n got a trolley which is unusual and immediately found a £14.60 Brand Match voucher in the trolley, this in itself was a bonus and a bit of a shock having never seen a Brand Match voucher before.

    Upon going into the store the Cap'n found yon shelves having only 7 packs of yon Ale so put them into yon trolley and bought other items to make up a total over £14.60 after vouchers deducted to use found Brand Match for payment. Cap'n paid and got back further £10 Brand Match then put items into row boat to take back to home berth later. Then went back into store to track down other 2.8 cases supposedly available.

    Customer service desk confirmed 2.8 cases should be on shelf and called Alcohol Dept manager. Explained I'd come to store specifically to stock up on yon Ale and manager was very apologetic and went off hunting for missing booty. After 20 minutes came back with further 7 packs and explained system must have a stock error, as I'd be inconvenienced he'd give me a £10 goodwill voucher.

    Went to pay for items using recently acquired Brand Match and more vouchers and all good with further £10 Brand Match acquired.

    Then went to Customer Services where young lady told me that she had been told to give me goodwill voucher (on a card) for £20 (I thought it would be rude to interrupt her).

    So outcome of day.

    7 packs of beer and 2 Curry Meal deals bought. Cost £21 + £10 = £31 - £10.50 Beer Vouchers = £20.50 - £14.60 Found Brand Match = £5.90 Paid + got Brand Match Voucher for £10

    7 Packs of beer. Cost £21 - £10.50 Beer Vouchers = £10.50 - £10 Brand Match Voucher = £0.50 + got Brand Match Voucher for £10

    Got Customer Service Card for £20.

    Paid Total for 14 Packs of Beer and 2 Meal Deals £6.40

    Still have Brand Match Voucher and Customer Service Card worth £30.

    All in all a profitable day plundering.

    Can anyone let the Cap'n know has this ended tonight or tomorrow at Midnight as we still have 14 Vouchers to use if we can find stock.

    Thanks OP

    Anchors away................

    My only query is Sainsbury cap the Brand Match at £10 so how did you manage to find one for £14+ ??

    So when I bought one individual 4 pack of beer as a tester assuming it would generate a BM voucher, I got it wrong :(
    Will get it right tomorrow!
