hi
one reason the cheese maynot work is because you got the lighter extra mature
think i was only the extra mature that workedtigerwhite wrote: »Afternoon. Hope everyone is well on this gloriously sunny day
I did 5 shops (over 2 visits) yesterday and think I'm all glitched out.. so giving today a miss. Only just put my APG's in from last night and re: Sainsbobs shop, the cheese didn't compare (16 triangles dairylea @ £1 and pilgrims choice extra mature black packet 350g @ £3.99). Oh well...
With the nivea, I bought the pink shimmer lip balm instead of the blue creme pot as more likely to use and i don't mind paying £1 for each nivea skincare.

Thanks!
If the products are BOGOF then it's best to buy a multiple of 2 in total, e.g. coke/ambrosia.
If the products are 3 for 2 then it's best to buy a multiple of 3 in total, e.g. shampoo.
If the products are 4 for £5 then it's best to buy a multiple of 4 in total, e.g. beer.
Yes there are other ways to make savings but they're not optimal!

Got trouted in a weird way today
Shopped at 1st asda and wanted to use a Heinz beans coupon, the young male sa refused to take it, as did the supervisor. I told them to keep the beans and gave him a £15.05 apg. He didn't react at all to the big apg and just put them through without a murmur.
Shopped at 2nd asda and the young female sa took the beans coupon, then refused to take the £2 coupon off a huggies box for a newborn pack. She called a supervisor who said no as well, so I again gave her a large apg, £12+ and nothing was said.
Weird day today. lol

No problem with mine at 1.45pm....perhaps they are having a lot of traffic at the moment :rotfl: :rotfl:Before you assume, learn the facts,
Before you judge, understand why,

No, didn't get a reply!! Thought the alberto balsam was a trigger?! have already done shop now
What is the trigger, just SP gel or conditioner?
The alberto was being used as a trigger for some who did not have SP conditioner or gel. The items will compare but at a slightly higher amount. HTHElectric and Gas Predators 17/£700
