    Dental does work with cereal - see this post. You had 7 items - 3,6 or 9 needed. If doing dental at same time need to buy steradent!!

    Nice to see my earlier shop keeps getting quoted :rotfl:

    But I think the point calmspirit and soot soot are making is that I used a trigger for cereals and trigger for tooth. And one of them (think its calmspirit) has found a theory that several different shops at the same supermarket can work with one trigger.
    Think I got that right :idea:

    Omg, just been totally trouted!
    Tried to use a £4 apg and was told it wasn't valid cos the time was wrong. The seconds were 00 instead of 23. I think most, if not all of those I've printed are like that, but SA, CS and 2 managers were not having it. Oh and the high % return too. Now they want me to return tomorrow so they can take it up with CS on the phone.
    Any suggestions on what to do- should I phone them first. I shouldn't be having to return to use the apg. It's a 13 mile journey for a start!

    Its not funny but in the previous transaction I used a £15 one with no probs, so !!!!!! went on there? Same SA and everything.

    Oh and the SA had already scribbled all over the receipt before declining it so i have to go back thete if I want to spend the apg.

    Had enough Asda for now, off to t for pizza and hd.

    Get on the phone first thing, demand to speak to a manager and tell them what you want and how badly you have been treated. Don't let the store dictate. Write down all your points before you phone, get the name of the manager you speak to and a reference numbe. Demand a apology in writing for there stupid coupon and lack of staff training which has upset you so much you shall think hard about taking your high weekly shopping allowance somewhere more professional.

    Evening all, I'm off on hols tomorrow and haven't a hope of catching up, would someone possibly be able to tell me if the neutrogena/clearasil type skincare glitch is still on and whether you buy this with haircare or does it work alone?

    TIA, sooooo busy right now, I'll try and get the list and front page updates done before I go but after tomorrow I will be on my iPad only for a week sans WIFI! :eek:

    I thought someone had confirmed earlier that a toothpaste worked with the cereals?

    Found it.

    whilst the cereal AND the dental both compare to waitrose - as far as i can tell you need a trigger for each type ie rice pot for the cereal deal and steradent for the dental so in this examplr there are 2 deals and 2 triggers

    hope i am correct:o

    Yes, from my purchase it seems that you are correct, Calmspirit.

    Thanks - the staff at Thorn@y are lovely too and no problem with the receipts.

    I have been to Th0rn@by a few times now and also had no problem but all mine have been below £11 ish have you used larger ones in there just wondering as I seem to have got slightly larger one today?

    That is how I understand it too but just making the point above that they can be done together - just in case anybody confused. P
