Have you used an APG in T's yet?

I've used one APG and a couple of sainsbobs conditional spend ones. The first guy didn't want to take them, insisted that they weren't doing that until I pointed to the huge banner just in front of him stating that they did but since then haven't had a problem.

I've been out all day so no idea what has gone on yet. I did though get to T, 1st time this week and I bought 3 items to test the cards. One produced 2 till spits, 75p off Lenor - just what I always wanted and another for a yogurt, not checked price yet but its something we def need and I can use the price flop MOC.

Someone had cleared all of the 20p mincemeat - I wonder what tesco.com would substitute it with if you out it on your online shopping order?

Also checked the TK and it was on the bottom shelf with a SEL I think of £2.75 ????? Has the TK been comparing today?

I trieed our little Boots but they did not seem to have any of the 75ml sprays that give 500 points - I've got some barcodes of the ones that do but I am wondering if anyone has got some - these are the £2 odd ones.

2 Bzz campaigns in one day and I've also had an email about suggesting flavours for the cookies - does anyone think they will give us 25 points for each and every flavour we suggest? If so I can think of hundreds

Thats it for today, just got to read back to see how everyone has done today so I can make a start on the shopping lists for the weekend :T

Skipping dipping today - very glad I am I think.
went to paralympic swimming was very excellent.
took a bit of effort but I will give my eldest a GOLD in wheelchair pushing:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

hey so did we Clip strip, was it this morning? - We were way back in the gods but did have quite a good view. I agree it was really good. So absolutely inspiring, just shows that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Amazing.
Well done for your eldest pushing you, it is not a small place is it?

This demonstrates exactly what I mean. Way over the radar surely? The till op looks at it and see's you have spent £10.79 and got an APG for over £9 back, but this is considered by everyone here to be OK?! A banana? A carrot? An onion?

The quote here earlier that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, rings so very true. Shops like this are no better no worse than James's in terms of amount spent and return, and I am quite angry about the way some of those here have treated him to be honest.

i think £8.65 is staying off the radar, specially when the total on the receipt it £21.76

Could you not do your best dopey blonde impression and return items and repeat shop? Or would it not be worth the petrol/effort etc

Absolute rubbish, you really think a few large APGs pushes the price up! You really don't understand supermarkets do you? This is all the tinest drop in a huge KMart ocean. I agree over 50 is a lot, but who cares, it won't affect the APG. Too many people on here screwed the life out of DTD, 5 £100 shops a day plus, and that's okay? Please get real, Mr A really doesn't care and the emotional blackmail is just wrong! Factually and morally.

But it won't just be a "few large APG's" now will it. Certainly today has shown how many people here and on HUKD are more than happy to rip the @rse out of something that is a nice little bonus if the game is played correctly. The OP who bragged about her £50 APG certainly won't be the only one doing it, just many, many more won't be bragging about doing it.

It's interesting to see how many lurkers have chosen to post today and then we have all the other lurkers who will never post but will watch this thread everyday, plus all the extra lurkers from HUKD. So we aren't talking about a few APG's more likely a few thousand and you can bet your bottom dollar Asda will sit up and take notice.

Greed will always ruin things.
ETA: I wasn't around for the DTD in Tesco but that came to an end, JTD has now been capped. Don't assume nothing will be done because that quiet frankly is BS. History show's you they will take action.

Evening all, apart from a quick post earlier (to say thanks for the heads up on the TK )not been online much, but have been keeping an eye on the thread.
Been so busy with work:o.

When I went yesterday looking for the TK could not find any in T's, but got a couple from A's instead.
Not seen any dispensers in either store.
When buying the TK i also got some cereals that I was certain were cheaper in T's.

Weetabix 24's A £2.18? per box on offer at T 2 for £3.
T's have a lot of cereals on half price offer, including rice crispies/sugar puffs/coco pops
http://www.tesco.com/groceries/buylist/default.aspx?Name=CM+Breakfast+Cereals+%26+Cereal+Bars
Which could be useful for anyone wanting cereal anyway and boosting items for APG.:)

Had some T's vouchers to use for Ariel and was going to buy the 888ml bottles that were on offer.
Think it was FK that mentioned it to Celebrate on here.
The store i went to only stocked the 925ml, so was not sure if it would compare:o

Managed to find some of the plenty last week, Thanks to the OP on that one:T

Thanks once again to AAU for pointing out the choc glitch( think it was you:o) managed to get some at the weekend.

Not bothering with the wine glitch as we have plenty in stock at the moment:)

As I have mentioned in previous posts, thanks to everyone for the contributions to the thread, They are appreciated.:T

Not been lucky enough to find any of my own yet, but one day.....:)

Tbh it's not worth the effort. I quite like being anonymous in my store :cool:
