it shouldn't even be on the shop floor if it's best before the 21st on the 22nd:mad::mad:

serves me right for not looking really:o:o

Can I ask how you used 2 conditional spends in one transaction please? I had two recently, one for a £40 spend and one for a £30 spend. I di dthe £40 first and no problem but computer said no on the £30 one. I was told you can only use one condtional spend or you'd end up getting your shopping for free. I tried to find where it said you couldn't use two but from what I could see it seemed like you couldn't use the likes of £2 off £20 clothing.

Was I fobbed off or am I reading your post wrong?

I had an interesting experience recently- I had 2 2 off £20 cc mailings (£2 off and £3 off) from my own and OH's accounts. I figured I would give it a try on a £23 spend and see if the second one still works, but in the end my total spend was £21 odds and it still worked!
Worth a try!

Sorry for all the posts. Trying to catch up

You have to make sure that the amount left owing is the amount on the conditional spend, if you have an X off £30 and an X of £40 you give the X off £40 first and then the X off £30 IYSWIM.

I have never had a problem using two, planning on using a £6 off £40 and a £2 off £20 together later in the week, giving me £8 off £40!

Was this in Sainsbobs or Ts? Sains seem very strict with coupons. I tried the L'oreal ones a couple of weeks ago on shampoo that was on offer. One coupon scanned but the 2nd was refused. Fast forward to yesterday and very similar coupons for Cravendale worked. I would have thought that as long as you meet the criteria you should be able to use them. The woman told me if you used more than 1 you'd get your shopping for free. Couldn't be bothered trying to explain that it would be impossible as you have to meet the minimum spend each time.

I used them in 2 separate transactions, was me typing quick whilst sorting out rotas this am, I was trying to assure the OP that using conditional spends didn't jeopardise a B.M

Thank you. That would explain it. I thought I'd missed a trick or something.

The new Sainsbobs hasn't got these mags though although I haven't been in for a few days so they might have now.

The NEW Sainsbobs? Where is this, pray tell?

Forgot to say got Dr Oetker pizza salami & pepperoni x7 on saturday used mocs in both mags ( 7 x £1 & 2 £1 off when you spend £7 on frozen food) they compared so free :j:j:T:T

For the people asking about the pizza , I work it out at this

T - 7 x £2 = £14 - 7 - 2 = £5

M - 7 x £1.25 = £8.75

jtd £5.25 so 25p profit*

Although the 2 x £1 off wys £7 is no longer valid, so they would cost 25p each

Been away for 2 weeks.

About 500 pages and a new thread in that time!!

Time to skip me thinks !

In short, are there any on-going glitches (or anything else) that I can start to look for.

TIA

Off out the back garden to build some walls. Just had to put the gazebo up as it's too hot

I liberated a few cello mags in T's this morning.
I noticed the cello is not sealed very well so it might be worth a rummage at the bottom of the cardboard stand for febreze booklets which have wriggled free
