Good morning everyone

Off to acupuncture appointment soon but will pop into T on the way for some T

I noticed yesterday that Typhoo 240 teabags are £2.69 but the offer finishes today so I'm stocking up.

It's rare to find teabags for around 1p each which is my target spend.

Hope you all have a good day.

I neveust Ts anymore for Pp... They are always n/a with the supermarkets we know are cheaper.. I've send them one or two complaints about it and got gift cards back.

Lookinforabargain or any other sneck lurkers who did an APG shop yesterday can you please phone CS and log that the dam thing ain't working. They are trying to fob me off saying must be my receipt what all 3 of them, I don't think so! (didn't let them know that) The only think they will do is a) a £2 giftcard or b) scan my receipt to them and they will look into things....but I don't want to alert them to the OJ.

Thanks for the advice earlier when I was in Mr S with my 6 packs of beer.

I got 4 bottles of S's own diet lemonade @ 57p to take over the £20, paid £11.28 got BM back for £9

Did have a mini problem at the till, when the guy suddenly said he didn't think I could 'bulk buy' with the coupons ...but I convinced him I had done it before and it was fine.
After the BM came out, he was less convinced!

You would very lucky to get them accepted

But since when has buying 6 beers been bulk buying .....

Ok just an idea to use up any of those £5 off £40 conditional spends on a T versus A price porkie. Now this is obviousley dependant on A not changing any prices before the cs are valid on 26th and the items remaining on A.com

5 x Lenor Spring awakening 750 ml T £9.95(£1.99 each) A £7.50 (£1.50 each) - JTD £2.45
5 x Lenor Summer Breeze 750ml T £9.95(£1.99 each) A £7.50 (£1.50 each) - JTD £2.45
5 x Lenor Pure (white bottle) 750ml T £9.95(£1.99 each) A £7.50 (£1.50 each) - JTD £2.45
3 x Lenor Infusions Gold Orchid 750ml T £6.75(£2.25 each) A £4.50 (£1.50 each) - JTD £2.25

3 x Febreze aerosols - 3 different flavours from the selection that are both £2 at T and A

2 x Greens Lemon Pie filling T £1.00 (50p each) A 70p (35p each) - JTD 30p (each one of these technically results in 5p off your shopping when using the greens coupon)

Total spend £43.60
- 18 Lenor coupons £18.00
- 6 Febreze coupons £6.00
- 2 Greens coupons 80p
- Conditional spend £5.00 (and any other cs you happen to have)

Balance to pay = £13.80
JTD return £9.90
Total cost of shop = £3.90

This is all obviousley dependant on having the vouchers and T and A not making any price changes before Thursday, and I see that the offer of the Febreze spray is due to end on 24th, so slight adjustments may have to be made, but just ensure you do not increase the JTD amount as this is capped at £10

I hope all my calculations make sense and are correct. Just thought I'd share with you all in case it's on any use to anyone.
I have already successfully price porkied all of these items apart from the Febreze aerosols.

You could also of course swap the 3 Febreze sprays for non-comparable items that amount to at least £2.40 to meet the £40 min spend, but the price of your shop will then go up by the same amount. I have included 3 different scents of the sprays to make up the 8 items required for JTD.

That is brilliant - thank you so much, i have been sat here with a pen and paper for the last 15 minutes trying to work out a shop to my best advantage - come on here and you have already done it - THANK YOU :T:T:T
