oh hun, they are honouring all apg's that have been issued, the cap is only on the new ones x

i thought this too but i asked at CS desk before i shopped as it was the morning after all the media stuff, she showed me the memo they had been sent and it wasn't clear at all. I tried saying i had read it up and my understanding was they would be capped from then on and my voucher from in the week was ok as it was generated before the cap came in but she just kept reading the memo over and over saying as of sunday morning all vouchers were to be capped at £15 regardless what the value was or the date they were generated. Couldn't see the point in arguing with her as she quite clearly didn't get it, but thanks any way

2 x Plum Baby Organic Aubergine & Lamb Moussaka (190g)£0.50£1.79

My daughter said these were RTC at 25p in A's today.
She also had two flavours of the baby food not compare even though they were showing as 3 for 2 in tesco's on MSM.
And she definitely had the correct quantities so that's one to watch out for.

Do you think ?
£15 is still quite a bit, not had one over £10.50 yet but that was by design.
For an example if they would have got an apg for £45 they can still get 3 £15 ers just need to spend the extra £1 each time on fillers.
So to me those that really need the savings will still get it but those that are out to fill a container will have to do a lot more work to get it.

Yes it may make it harder. Usually the vouchers are small but on some items they could come in at £15 - £20 and this means people will have to be more careful or lose out due to the capping.
Also, as we know, it has been easily possible to get vouchers of a larger value than that which must have been a boost for those in need of it.
You're right that it doesn't change things in principle and it certainly accommodates those who were trying not to be obvious, but it does add a complexity.

Why do so many people want vitamin glitches for children? I am not being funny at all but I don't understand it. If you give your children fruit, veg and meat and let them run around in the fresh air, why do they need vitamin tablets too? Am I missing something?

Oh thanks for this lawrie. will defintely try for this.

A few years back a mate and I got tickets for a gig at the Hackney empire, we managed to find it okay and joined the queue. We were having a great time in the queue, laughing with all the other people and then we noticed that our tickets were a different colour than their tickets. We looked and we had come a day early !:rotfl::rotfl:
We snuck out of the queue on the quiet and I was in fits all the way home. That is absolutely typical of my mate. What a pl*nker Rodney!
