    Yes, I will be testing the Garnacha within the hour! I said testing, not tasting :rotfl:

    The Asda do a Extra Special Garnacha for £5, so here's hoping it compares too on JTD :T

    Will let you know ;)

    Thank you :)

    Notice that A has put up the price of their Extra Special Fiano to match T - this used to be a goodie to whack up the jtd on a meal deal when the 25% wine offer was on.

    Can I buy say 4 jars of coffee and get 4 petrol mocs?

    I have 2 x £5 off wys £35. So I could use one today to earn a £10 jtd which I could use with the other tomorrow and the £4 wys £40

    4 jars coffee and 2 squashes is £35, so pay £30. But £23.12 at S, so capped jtd at £10.

    Value I place on goods is approx £15 (being generous), so value to me from the shop is £15 plus £10 jtd back (hopefully) plus 5 petrol coupons at an outlay of £30 (plus a £1 or so to make up the 8 items). Will this work or am I being optimistic/double counting anywhere?

    Same again tomorrow but then using the jtd?

    It's the recycling of JTD that gives the best returns. So yes, as you've a WYS £35, go for one lot of JTD today, then again tomorrow.

    Even with the miles I do, I think I'll only be filling my tank from empty once, and maybe, half filling it again, before the fuel vouchers go out of date, so will think carefully about a second fuel voucher shop.
    The mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open

    I know, been thinking about that - have a trip this weekend that will use a tank and then need to fill up again mid week for another trip westwards. Needing the petrol isn't the issue, but finding a T filling station where I will be when I need to fill up may be trickier :) Seems totally mad to drive for miles to get cheap petrol :D

    Ignoring any WYS's, the best return for any of the fuel promotion products is the Heinz, comparing at S's.

    For 8 bottles, you pay £18 plus allow a further £1 for items to make up the 8 different, jtd capped at £10. You spend effectively £9, but get 20p/litre off fuel.

    If you really think 16 bottles of mayo is useful, then repeat as a second shop and 4 fuel vouchers :)

    You can then use the JTD against a different WYS shop

    Might be worth ignoring the higher WYS, if you're just after fuel vouchers. A WYS £20 would be useful though :), and spend £2 on the additional items requuired
