  • Totally messed up my shops:mad:

    Mind went blank in Asda and couldn't read my hastily scribbled list.

    Thought toothpaste etc was part of the ambrosia 38p glitch. Oh well still got good return.

    Try again tomorrow:D

  • That's a costly mistake:o

    Worst thing was I spotted another lady shopping with Iams, lots of cereal in her trolley and was last seen going down the cleaning aisle.

    If I was more gutsy I should have spoken to her and my shop may have turned out better.

    Nope thats not me :rotfl::rotfl: I don't buy Iams and I am running low of Pedigree pouches for me Poppy:eek: only have 1.5 box left.

    Today I went to a different store & the pizza scanned at the correct price. So tomorrow I shall try again at the original store to see if they still scan at 0.98 each rather than 2 for £3.50 & it compares as £3.50 full price.

    I have now highlighted in red AMBROSIA!!!!!

    Sorry Bully, I was so busy with glitching that I forgot to say :

    Congrats;) too busy to play comps at the mo. I am gambling at the mo with sada & waity:D even comps cannot guarantee/give me what I am getting at the mo.:p

    I now have 3 teenagers & a husband who eats non stop:D No wonder they put on weight ( if any ):rotfl: I wish! my kids have my genes eat a lot but never put on weight.

    Good night all - I shall go to bed later on & thinking of AMBROSIA!!!

  • omg, this glitching is making me ill.

    I feel sick waiting for my receipts to be inputted, I am so nervous I have got it wrong. The relief when it works.

    Just done my 3 afternoon shops and they all worked thank goodness, but don't like the nerves.

    how many asdas do you guys have locally then ? we only have 1 i would have to travel an hr each way to get to any other ones which would obv not be worth it. it is quite a big store but i still worry about going in there more than twice a week. OH says its silly they see thousands of people everyday why would they remember me, but i just cant get round the nerves. DTD was a little easier as we have 3/4 to pick from with that but this is just much more scary for some reason.

    Totally agrre with you CM...I am under so much pressure when I have a bigger apg (may be even £10 to £15). I always get too scared. Also many times they have called supervisor to check my apg by looking at value. Its more embarassing when all are waiting in a queue and staring at us........Its like we are stealing something....:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::eek::eek::eek::o:o:o

    I did a shopping list for today but with all these thoughts in my mind just could not go...
  • i've been using one up until today
    picked son up from work so used the asda down there (20mins drive)
    have another in the other direction( 20mins odd away)but not used that one yet.
