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.

Ah I see - my apologies. Yes your calculation is correct. You could of course get 8 lots of Branston Beans at £8 from Mr A hence why I won't be doing the Heinz beans one (we don't like Heinz, too saucy!) I am doing the Mayo one today, though, and more Robbinson's. Then onto the coffee tomorrow.

Have about £100 of JTD to use up so this will be a good way to make 'fresh' ones :A

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

Nope no coffee. If it was tea that would be a different story. We used to drink a lot of Robinsons but now a bottle can last over a year. I think the ketchup is overpriced in the promotion but I can work with the beans but still, it may not really be worth it. We use £40 a month, sometimes £60 on petrol but that's about it.

Well I've had the reply from Mr S - its taken so long I thought I was getting ignored. Its still a bit vague - how does everyone else read this? To me it still looks like one beer, one MOC ....????

I've got potential lists written for future shop involving various ammounts of shandy, beer, cat food etc, all with MOCs to match - interesting to see what happens next time I go in.

At least they have given me some extra nectar points



Thanks for your email. I'm sorry my colleague would not accept four money off vouchers in the one transaction. I can understand how disappointing this would be, especially as you have been able to do this previously.

We want our customers to have a good shopping experience when they visit any of our stores. I have contacted the Store Deputy Manager,*******, regarding your experience. He has advised me that as long as the coupons are for different products, any amount can be used.

We do not accept more than one coupon if it is for the same product, or if it is for Nectar points, only one can be used. ******* is going to make sure that all colleagues are aware of what can and cannot be accepted.

You'd be best targeting the finest pork steaks and chicken then if you won't see real benefit from the petrol voucher. I would do your beans one though if your lot will only eat Heinz. Stock up for the next year or so. We do about 4 tins a week. I get mine mainly when Mr T does them for £2.55 and Mr A has them at £1 for the JTD vouchers.

Do our receipts get marked/taken after this?

I was thinking if I bought the beans, but then wanted to change it for heinz spaghetti after? Not all of them but a few. I like a variety. But if it's against the rules I won't even consider it.

Ok be nice, I was debating posting this since it sounds rather pathetic compared to some of the lawful freebies you guys get up to

Yesterday I went to Mr.T. Had the £1 Hello hydration (blue Herbal essance) voucher and it was half price at £1.66 (400ml) so 66p.
the burgen bread was on price drop down to 85p, plus 30p voucher, 55p.
Also, The McVities free cake bars voucher, the Jaffa cake bars are £1.30 or 2 for £2. I took 2, at checkout it took of extra 60p to make them 2 for £2. It asked for the amount of pack when she scanned the voucher so she entered £1.30 for one pack, meaning, = 2.60 - 60p - £1.30 = total 10p for both packs.

Also waiting on a price difference for some Bold vouchers on liquitabs, will let you know when it comes through.
Hope that helps someone.

I think this is still very flowery. It is leaving it open. I'd e-mail them back before heading to a store with it. If the store kept doing this to me I'd simply do 20 shops with 20 items of cloths each time and one lot of beer and stand and hold CS up for as long as I could. :rotfl:

I would spend the JTD first, THEN take them back. It is a breach in T&C but nothing more. Sometimes the cashier doesn't even ask for the receipt so if they do not, you ahve a clean receipt to take back to CS to exchange some beans for spaghetti. Guess it depends how troutish the CS are. :rotfl:

Quick question, peeps...

Has anyone tried the son simon at sainsburys?

My local Asda doesn't stock it. I'm toying with driving to another one today as I actually have a free, no kids afternoon :j

Is it still comparing? I might try Asda and sainsburys if they are comparing at both?

Cheers me dears....
