    The apg has changed and as I predicted on Saturday, they hve changed it so you can't get you results till 6am the next day.

    Please enter your ASDA till receipt details and click "Compare Prices". Please ensure you've
    waited until at least 6am the morning after you shopped.

    I believe today is the last day for the Johnson's baby stuff, huggies wipes, cheese and coke at sainsbobs they end on the 25/9 but msm tend to take it down a day early from what i have heard so in the early am of the 25/9 it will be gone check msm before you shop they to make sure, shops that compare with asbos and that the deals are still active, alot of Henlens list although good are somewhat incomplete i believe mainly the offers what he tends to buy on there so a couple are missing.

    You may also want to check the end dates on other offers there.

    The list below is the most recent one i can find from FC it has more deals on but not specific items i have taken a couple of things off that i know have finished and added some bits that i know have started, the others i am not sure on if you check offers on msm and end dates that should inform you if the offer is still available I've done my best to edit what i can :D. as FC says below edit and repost if you find something new or different.

    It may effect offers which are ending though. I have been caught out when shopping on a Monday and inputting on the Tuesday because as you say in your fab next post the offers are often taken down on the Tuesday. I don't think I will be buying anything today that ends tomorrow.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    :hello:Good Morning. The asda website is saying 3 hours wait again now.

    Please enter your ASDA till receipt details and click "Compare Prices". Please ensure you've
    waited 3 hours after you shopped.

    I cannot see anywhere that it says it is capped at £15. My vaulue is only £10 so maybe it only says it if you go over the £15. Ive just looked at the terms and it is in there. I guess they don't wanna shout about the cap too much:cool:
