    I could not get my head around mixed shops so i stuck with 6 robinsons for my 1st shop.

    I might go for mayo in the next shop but then I think all cars will have full tanks and this will last a couple of weeks.

    So good savings if your cars have big tanks, you drive long distances and you have massive fuel bills. I think for many people though they will fill up twice over the next 2 weeks and thats about it.
    Thanks. Yes, it's probably not worth it to be fair. Don't drink juice nowadays but it's all good.

    How to organise APG wombles

    1. Put them in and see if they are worth anything
    2. Write the amounts at the top
    3. Paper clip them together with the dates that correspond to the wombles eg. 24/07, 25/07. I store them in a concertina file in date order
    4. To make an APG last two months, if you have one for 24/07, do not print it until 23/08, it will then give you an expiry date of approximately 22/09.

    I learned my lesson when I had found £25 worth of wombles but did not print them in time:mad:

    Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. I will do all the math for you but in one breath you say the fuel isn't important, but you base all your calculations around this?! :A
    The calculations are based around it since that's the promotion running.
    I'm puting in £40 fuel anyway regardless, so what can I do with the promotion to get me cheaper groceries?
    My family prefer Heinz beans but I don't remember the last time it was 4 for £1. So even if I bought 8 lots it would work out about 28p per can. This would be given to family unless we stock up.

    So I'm paying £40 on fuel, saving £6 because I bought Heinz, but instead of thinking I saved £6 on fuel, I saved £6 on Heinz, along with the £3 wys £20, so I've paid £9 for 32 cans of beans lol.

    OK, back from Mr T's. Good news, the 25% off wine appears to be working as usual re: multibuys - it takes the 25% off the full price of the wine, and then applies the multibuy discount.

    936%5C5052004411936%5CIDShot_225x225.jpg

    So I bought 6 bottles of Tesco Finest Garnacha @ £7.99 each. I got 25% off, meaning a £11.99 discount (25% off 6 x £7.99 - the full price). But they were also 2 for £12, meaning a further £11.94 discount (6 x £1.99).

    So in the end the 6 bottles of Finest cost £24.01, or about £4 a bottle :j

    Asda do a Extra Special Garnacha for £5 - if this compares, which would be a bonus, then you'd get back £10 JTD (as it would max out the voucher) meaning £14.01 for 6 bottles or £2.34 a bottle. Cross fingers :rotfl:
    Can I ask please, do all the wines knock off the 2 for £12 ? Or just some of them? Thanks

    Thanks. Yes, it's probably not worth it to be fair. Don't drink juice nowadays but it's all good.

    Do you drink coffee? The best one for me is the juice because the kids love it (18 bottles already in the loft) and I do £50 a week on fuel (wife does £20 a week).

    But the coffee is a good one too from tomorrow. 5 Jars @ £7 = £35. Then get £5 worth of shopping that doesn't compare worse as the 5 jars will give you a £10 cap JTD. Make sure you get 8 dif items.

    Use a £5 off WYS £40. So total spend = £35.
    You then get back £10 JTD and 50p off per litre. On your tank of £40 @ 30 litres this is £15. So you have therefore paid £10 for 5 jars of coffee and £5 worth of shopping and 75 clubcard points.

    Hope this is clear. :A
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.
