    As long as its FREE lol......:p:p:p:p It does a brilliant job but won't pay full price.:o

    Will try stardrops later though...:A

    SnD and Blue your stuff is on the way....;)

    Morning all....:)
  • Good morning all:)

    No I have not been lazy and just got out of bed:D:p I have already done an A's shop for some coke can check at 11am nearly threw in the cheese but the APG I got last time for 5 cokes was £17 so cut down to 3 to keep under the £10 if I had added the cheese would have defeated the point of that. Was dropping DS1 at 7 so also a S's shop for milk and proper food ie meat:rotfl: for some meals. I did notice the Ambrosia rice now saying 70p & 3for2 so not sure if that changes things suppose we will find out soon.

    AH one of m y shops worked, the other I messed up by thinking dental was Sainsbury, so bought that with the coke:o:o THANKS for your help on the prev shops:beer:

    Blue glad one was ok at least:j I told you toothpaste was W's not S's and could have been included with cleaning/cereal etc but still need the steradent as not sure the other trigger works guess you shouldn't have been so helpful in putting stuff back.:eek:

    CL it must be very frustrating us going on about A's when you not able to get to one often:(

    I need to find out the deal on Bulmers 17 could do with stocking up on that but obviously missed that when was AWOL for a few days. DH got his 50th in Oct just having something at home but being stocking up on Buds at £13 for 24 from A's putting 1 in most APG shops so technically being part paid with APG's added bonus increases amount spent. Stocked up on cokes for kids & mixers:j We like the Bulmers 17 and would be handy if J2O & Vodka glitched then party sorted:j . Well except for food :D:rotfl:.No excuse for dirty house all the cleaning products:D:p just need the time to use them:rotfl:ie stop reading MSE. BUT will need a major clear out of garage as everything been shoved in there:eek: got a feeling my friends will think I have cracked if they see it:rotfl:17 bottles of ketchup and loads of SP tins etc. I did ship aload of tins, tea bags, batter mix, jellies, vinegar some cleaning bits & TK up to mums instead of waiting until Christmas as hamper.

  • hi AH

    not sure if bulmers no.17 is still glitching but heres what the deal was. (worked on real ales too)

    now i've just looked on MSM same offers still on but glitch maynot be working

    bulmers no17 (red one)
    2x £3 A (£2.16each), 4x £5 T
    price checker doesn't see asda offer so compared at full price asda , offer price tesco

    you had to buy in 4's to match tesco offer and they worked out about 50p a bottle if memory serves
  • Just made my list up for today and now there could be price changes if the price of the rice has altered.

    Think best to wait till after 10.00 ish when Henlan tells us what happened to his shop.

    take care all

    Hi CM

    I think part of the problem is the Domestos. The blue and yellow ones with 33% free do not show on MSM as being stocked at Waitrose. They are right at the bottom of the Asda page, separate from the ones without the extra free. The pink one with 33% free does not show on MSM at all. Would have thought you would still have 8 items for comparing though. If you haven't used an APG to pay I think I would ring Asda and they will tell which items count and which don't. I have always found the APG team very helpful.
