ELITE 11+ "50 shades of tosco" mse gathering of OCD bargain hunters!!

SpiralingDown

I think James will have to watch how they go in that branch and also what details they put on here. I know from experience that some things I have put up have been mentioned to me by people I know who work in Toscos but only because I've mentioned the store and or a very distinguishable member of staff in that store.
I have been followed in a certain store, much to my amusement may I add, I haven't ever done what others have, I make a point if I got a DTD in a store I try not to get another there for at least a month. I have limited myself to MOCs and PPs lately for the very reason of not being recognised, most of my PPs are under £5 with very few being over this.

When I used my APG today it was from a big shop and on a big shop so didn't stand out as it was £15ish and produced a £14ish one, thankfully I live in NI so will use this one in Toscos and see if I can get a conditional spend voucher from sainsbobs as they've been giving out 'when you spend £20' ones lately so buy normal shop there.

Sadly I fear this will go the same way tesco's old DTD went.

The first steps asda could take would be easy ones and to be fair ones I wouldn't mind seeing.........a cap of £10 on the value of an APG and the return of the 6am check to prevent multiple purchases in one day.

Worst case scenario that benefits nobody bar those who think its nothing but a good laugh and simply dont need the savings is that asda just pull the plug.

They could perhaps put a limit that you can only use an APG up to a percentage of your shop which again isn't good.

Those people actively seeking huge APG's really should reconsider their actions if they value the APG scheme themselves.

I think they'll cap the APG personally, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. They'd be pushed to get rid of it because of PP and BM. They all want our custom after all.

Well after a few comments on here I decided to go and spend my £53 odd APG today rather waiting and potentially not using it.....

I think you were lucky, but your card will be marked. I've had good and bad experiences in T's with PC /PP, but I've never had one for more than £11. I don't think anyone here was trying to make you feel like a criminal, (I hope not anyway) It's just that £50+ APG was obviously going to get you and the glitching products noticed so it's counter productive. It may have worked for you but ruined it for others now....

Also, of course, they're still spending lots of £££ advertising and promoting it!

saw a lady with 4 two packs of plenty in her trolley , told her there were coupons in the asda mags, she came behind us at the checkout and hadn't found any mags so gave her some of mine :A:A

also found a car with 2 abandoned kids in the car park (10yr old and baby) the baby was crying and the 10yr old was hitting the baby:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: asked if she was ok and she burst into tears, said mum had left her with the baby who was asleep but had woke up, called security pronto to call the mum and stayed with them until mum arrived with her shopping and who then didn't say thanks or look sorry for her actions at all :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Still lots of 'we know best' judgemental comments on here. Insisting james has 'ruined it for others' is just going too far. Says who?! So if the products are changed tomorrow, the next day, next week, it is all James's fault?

Some of you really do need to stand back and look at what you are saying. What you deem to be ok is therefore deemed to be ok? Yet I don't see anyone saying anything about 'spoiling it' re the regular here who bought 4 cans of the beans using 4 vouchers, or the one who bought 8 and kicked themselves as they only had 5 vouchers. Also it is clear some of you are going to A's more than once a day and generating APG's but thats ok.... also its ok to take things back off a big shop (as if that isn't flagging things up enough).

Really guys, you seem a nice bunch but some of this stuff is quite amazingly two-faced.
