    If DBP gets collared it will be a good learning experience for him :rotfl:

    Got to give it to him for having the guts to try and push the boundary.

    If I had high value apg's i'd use them no bother.

    Has my 12 APG's and a £5 off £40 shop in 1 go been beaten yet ? :cool:

    You would use them more than once would you ?

    I've not targeted an APG before - i've thought about it but never done it, now im worried about the 8 items - I know an onion etc... but i'd like to get things I would use anyway - like treats, choc, juice, pasta, bread yogurts? Any of these ok for a comparasion or is it hit and miss?

    Sorry if stupid question?

    They would all probably compare but it's best to get items that are dearer or the same price to maximise the value of your APG. Hence why most of us get single fruit or vegetable items or smart price products such as mixed herbs, water, toilet rim block etc.

    Six bottles will be OK, you will have a higher value APG and you may feel awkward using it then.

    Edit - is it stupid to do 6 bottles? Im afraid today may be the last day so want to make the most of it ?
    bread, pasta, yoghurts all compare but you ned to check that they are not cheaper in T's as this will reduce the APG. Value items are good as they are often similar prices or come back as N/A

    Taking the sprogs biking now for a wee while as I know where there are some crab apples to set my jam tonight:j ;)

    I tend to buy things that I need anyway instead of the veg and smart price stuff. I grow my own veg and wouldn't use most of the other stuff.
    I use My SM to compare prices and buy stuff that is either the same or cheaper in T's. It works pretty much most of the time. I've had the odd thing not compare or compare wrongly, but not often. I do try to have about 12 items too just in case.

    I think others have bought 6 wines and been ok. I've been buying in 3s myself.

    The beans are yuckie.. so I took back 20 cans today and they allowed me to swap them.. just a idea for others. I told her I used vouchers and she said its fine.

    Doing this isn't very clever.

    Boasting about it online even less so.

    Just my opinion.
    Hope is not a strategy.

    I am now the very proud owner of a tin of Heinz 5 Beanz. I bought them at Mr M's. The SA didn't want to accept the coupon. He said that it was photocopied which it wasn't. He called a supervisor and it was then accepted.

    I received my Bzz Campaign Cider Lambrini so I bought that from Mr T. Has anyone else received theirs?

    Happy Birthday to Celebrate. xx

    The Premier Foods coupon covers a lot of brands but I picked a Loyd Grossman Tomato & Red wine sauce for £1 and bl00dy lovely it is too - had it first with pasta and tuna with a load of grated cheese melting on top:T

    Then I bought another one with a wombled APG of course and did pork mince bolognese, I tell you it's delicious!:D

    I may do that. Love the Lloyd G sauces, really worth it when they are on offer.

    Aau1 - hope you got the free john frieda. I'd deffo do it

    I was honest with the customer services and they said it was fine. I was not dishonest. I asked if I could return them for another product and they said it was ok to do so.

    The reason I posted it was to tell others that they allowed it, If you didnt like the beans you could return them for another product.
