    :rotfl::rotfl: I might:D couldn't resist visiting sada today, but knowing my store most of the time I can't find the stuff that is why I listed it as 9 items but only getting 6.

    and I was right, I can't find them:-

    1 x Domestos 24 Hour Thick Bleach Citrus Fresh (750ml)£1.12£0.53
    1 x Cif Bathroom Mousse Citrus Burst (500ml)£2.50£0.53
    1 x Domestos 24 Hour Thick Bleach Pink Power (750ml)£1.12£0.53

    AH or MT or BS any chance of posting the link for the above from MS please so that I know what I am looking for:o


    Sorry Doc didn't see the message until now think we were both in A's at the same time:D:rotfl:
  • Finding it hard and frustrating to not add the TK:( as they still got stock and it still working but me too embarrassed to go back in and do another shop and as doing shops against S's & W's will end up messing up. Also noticed the Cond & gel at 44p was back in stock in our store tonight but don't need any poos:D but the tinned rice empty and cokes very low.

    Evening guys, manged to get to A$da today, got poo, cheese and TK (lots of TK on the shelf too, although i only got one, I'm the only one who uses it really so it will prob last me the next 10 yrs :rotfl:) Managed to pick up the wrong S&G :doh:And a few other 'bits' i needed. Just done a quick tally of what I have spent, APGs back and shop values before APGS. Done ok - although I haven't used APGs every time I've done a glitchy shop so I've prob spent more than I could've - but then I can use the APGs for 'normal' shops so it will even itself out.

    I do have one really really dumb question though (given the length of time I've been on here)... for the min 8 items, do they have to be items that compare to other stores, or just any 8 different grocery items? I've been looking for ones that I know will compare to specific shops, but I don't think I need to? :o:o

    Weather gone back to it's usual mixed bag today, car was needing a wash though :rotfl:

    Thanks for the low down on the products amount needed for cleaning glitch need to get some Ciff mouse and drain stuff.:beer: Does anyone know if the Mr Muscle oven cleaner is any good need something to replace the Oven Pride:( which I love as works really well. TIA

    Managed to womble 2 receipts yesterday for £2.07 and £1.57 a litle extra bonus:D;):rotfl:

    If the Mr M is the strong one that virtually says 'stand back and don't breathe' then yes, it is good - i prefer the foamy spray as i find it's easier to get around the inside of the oven than the OP gel.

    I also found it does just as good a job as the deal I got of Group0n for someone to come in and clean my oven for £20 :mad:

    Just don't get it on any nickel plated surfaces as it will either leave a white mark or eat through the finish (as does OP)... slightly annoying as our oven door handles have the brushed nickel plated finish :eek: (and I DO have a spare oven door handles stashed on the loft just in case after a previous mis hap :rotfl:)

    Kerri if it shows on anyones APG receipts for that shop it compares and counts as one of the 8 items it doesn't matter if it says N/A IYSWIM If you purchase anything and doesn't show on the APG receipt means it doesn't compare. HTH
