I wish I was closer to your SADA. Mine L0ngwe11 Gr88n are a terrible. They won't accept beanz coupons as there is no 'coupon safe' writing on them. As for APGs they usually examine receipts and then call over a supervisor if the amount seems high relative to the shop total, especially if an apg voucher has already been used for that shop. My largest so far is £16 and it's really hard work there, it's rare to be able to walk straight through the tills without further checking.

Hello fellow bristoler! Cr1bbs caus3way is great! Shelves always full and i swear they have no idea about this! I get congratulated each time with an APG! I say Tesco have alot of reduced to clear items price matching! And say, il never get another decent voucher! Haha

Advice please, pretty please.

I have the Huggies pure wipes £1 MOCs from the baby kits, three in total.

If I buy them as part of an Asda v S shop how many wipes should I buy to go alongside coke.

Is it one wipe and 2 coke per shop?
Or can I buy 2 wipes and 4 coke?
(Assume that buying 3 at once would mess things up so thats nto an option)

Just a bit worried as its BOGOF S/ $1 in A so not sure wether one or two hugs are needed and how many cokes to match. So far I've stuck to buying the custard/rice but as I had MOCs I thought I might as well use them.

(The thought did cross my mind to use them in a T shop to get a TPP but its not really worth the effort as I've got no conditional spends )

Mhoc, here is my spend from a few days ago using Huggies wipes coupons. I kept to even numbers as they are BOGOF in Sainsbobs.
Good luck. x

I dont know if this is any good to anyone but I think the £100 cap on APG's might be done by postcode - I have been using random names - usually ones from harry potter but having been putting in a real postcode, - changing it frequently though, have already used it several times today - just input a new receipt with new email, new name (this time it was r weasley;)) but a postcode I must have used several times and it said I had reached £100 & capped my voucher, thankfully only lost 80p though.

HTH

But postcodes are for a street not an individual address, plus I got capped and I use random postcodes

Todays results.

Went to S to use a conditional spend and also do a return, found some reduced fruit, used an extra points voucher.

We also did the reccyling and there were numerous bric a brac items in a box - might have been dumped car boot stuff but anyway I got 2 very nice Ikea vases :T
Didnt get to T, could nto think of a good reason and a 20 mile round trip to get the new magazine was not a good idea.

Asda - 2 good shops in 2 different store but one shop I've messed up, have to see how bad things are later.
Fourth shop - very major trouting after which I left all of shopping behind and walked out. It made me doubt myself and wonder if rules had changed or not so I read the rules and reg section yet again. So I wrote a letter to HQ ready to post off tommorow but in the end I got brave and rang them, lovely lady from Asda - explained everything, times, dates, staff names, what was said, asked what I'd done wrong etc (done nothing wrong) , my nice receipt was scribbled on so recompense is coming in the post :T
I've not put my receipts in yet, feel I should do something useful beforehand as we seem to have been in and out of supermarkets all day

Not my local store, but I took my nan to L0ngwe11 Gr88n today to do her shopping and did 3 shops myself and they took my APGs no problems, no supervisor needed and I used one for £8 odd & one for £9 odd on one shop.

And sometimes a whole village or hamlet has the same postcode so it cant be the trigger for capping.

Ok thanks for that, it was just an idea cos I've printed loads off my laptop and it seemed that the postcode was the common denominator - guess I'll be printing future ones at work to be on the safeside now then.

Seeing as I only started on this glitch yesterday I thought I was doing OK with 4 decent shops under my belt and no errors. My local store seems fine taking the vouchers - although last night one SA did get quite excited about my £15 .xx voucher (in a nice way).

Unfortunately, I have certainly raised my profile today - I decided to start combination shops and got 9 hair care items and also some vitamins and paid for nearly all of it with one £13 voucher plus a handful of smallish wombled ones. I didn't think it through and I got a £31 .xx voucher back !

I decided to use it this afternoon thinking that I was more likely to find a young student/part-timer on a Sunday. I found one alright but she had a voice like a foghorn - took one look at my coupon and shrieked out 'bl**** hell, thats HUGE!!!'. Wouldn't have been quite so bad if she hadn't waved it around and shouted to several CA's on nearby tills. It was a good job that the 2 shops were completely different but I still got hot under the collar - fortunately my 2 week holiday has given me a decent tan so at least my red face didn't show up too much.

There was no trouble getting it accepted though - she even asked if I had any more I wanted to use. Apparently the biggest they've had before was around £26 so I've beaten their record. I had intended to do another shop as well but I'm ashamed to say I lost my nerve and scarpered PDQ. If it works, the new APG will be fairly big too.
