Hope you had a good holiday and what a welcome home! So many glitches

The Argan oil I picked up was A v T Treseme Liquid gold. HTH
Edit: Celebrate has also listed one but different to the liquid gold, both work! which is best I don't know.

Thank you - that does help.

Holiday was disappointing! Hotel was supposed to be a 4* but it really wasn't up to standard particularly so far as the dining room and food was concerned. I know you can't pay 4* prices and expect 5 * standard but I don't consider that 3 sorts of blancmange, 2 types of jelly, ice cream, custard (plus fruit and pastries) is right for anything other than a kids birthday party. The hotel was 'adults only so we did expect a bit more. Also, absolutely everything was running in olive oil (an inch deep in the dishes of boiled pasta), the meat , fish, eggs were very overcooked and hard and most of the potatoes were hard. The food selections were very limited after 8.45 even though you could, in theory, go in right up until 9.30 and the staff were banging around cleaning and moving furniture about from 9pm onwards. Trying to enjoy a quiet meal when staff are dragging large tables across the floor and shouting at each other 3 feet from where you are sitting is just not on.

Lots of other issues - dirty crockery, long black hairs on the towels and bedding and lifts breaking down several times a week trapping guests.

The Manager was a complete prat - insisted he never had ANY complaints and that his hotel was the best in Majorca. Amazing really cos we spoke to at least 6 other couples during our last 2 days and they all said the hotel was failing badly and was not up to standard. He won't like what I have to say on Trip Adviser !

At least I had plenty of time to mull over all your posts - and the sunshine seems to have given my 82 year old DH a new outlook on our relationship! He's come over all 'soppy' - even got me flowers when I was in ASDA. Can't be bad - we've both really neglected each other in recent years for no good reason other than familiarity and laziness.

Back from shopping with Mum. I had to keep telling her, no, not that, THAT, and when she wanted to know why,' cos THAT works, and that doesn't'. Again, why? 'It's too complicated to explain, just trust me'.:rotfl: She got two really good apg's out of it though, so she's happy.
I had a minor trouting, the usual huddle, scrutinising the voucher and peering surreptitiously at me. I asked if there was a problem and was told 'some people have been using fraudulent vouchers, not that I'm saying this one is, and you do understand I'm not accusing you of anything don't you?' She took great pains to reiterate several times the 'not accusing you of anything':rotfl:.
She said that A's are not advertising the APG and finds it odd that they are getting so many high value vouchers. Not advertising my foot! There is a huge banner as you go in the store.:rotfl:
I told her I shop for my own family, my mum, mil, and two elderly neighbours, and I research the best deals/compare prices and use the vouchers that their receipts generate for their next lot of shopping. She was very pleasant, and the voucher was accepted.:D

I agree with Sarah7. You would have paid 94p for 1 ambrosia if you bought an odd number of coke/ambrosia. If you buy an even number of coke/ambrosia you would have paid 47p for the 1 ambrosia (or 94p for 2 ambrosia)

Actually we are both right.... what you actually need is an even number of BOTH. Better to buy even Coke and odd custard than odd Coke and odd custard, but buy two custard and 2/4/6/8 Coke and you get the best deal.

mess it up with custard and custard is full price, mess it up with rice and coke is full price. HTH

Doesn't appear so with Tigerwhite's shop below

Afternoon. Hope everyone is well on this gloriously sunny day
(edited to remove other items)
1 x Ambrosia Rice Pudding (400g) £0.94 £0.47
3 x Coca Cola (8x330ml) £11.49 £1.41

This demonstrates well the problem with even number total but odd number of each Coke and Ambrosia custard tin. You pay full price for one of the Coke.

So..... again - best advice then is to get even number of BOTH Coke and Custard: The Coke then you get the benefit of the two for £7 at Asda and the custard you get the benefit of the BOGOF at Sainsbury's, yes?

We've had plenty of lists and hundreds of results posted, yet virtually every other post is "does this compare"," does that compare".
I don't mind if people have been on holiday but most of the questions come from people who have been doing it for over a week.
You could tattoo everything that compares on someones arm and they would still ask :mad:

:D:p

chill!!!!!!

i take you're point and it is annoying when it's the same people but you can choose to ignore the questions if it upsetting you? for each person it annoys i am sure there are several that would be happy to respond

there are alot of newbies and i for one would love as many people to benefit as possible before the glitch ends:A

it is easy to use the search button and i am forever on msm on my iphone in asda;)

i have numerous lists coming out of my ears but there may be one or two glitches or new items i haven't tried yet and will ask for help with

i still think one lit that we could all keep adding to such as the hair dyes and cereals are a great help and would reduce the amount of repetitive questions, also putting fc's list in full on the first post may help rather than just a link as newbies as there are so many links on the first post easy to miss

sorry that's just my humble opinion:o

Lol, I have to give hubby a very basic apg shop and he goes straight away to the tills, I am then free to wander and '123, 1234, 12345' to my hearts content.

Did a poo , cleaning and cereal shop today and all ok. Only 'new' item for me was LEMON rinse aid which worked same as the original.
A good filler for a vs t shop Walkers Sensations 150g £1.98 in Asda or 2 for £3.50 but only £1 in tesco. Comparing correctly but a good price i thought.

Edit I bought Thai sweet chilli and roasted chicken and thyme flavours
