    Just a quick questions regarding the minced beef tesco have for £2.57 for 750g, assuming it is there when I go shopping, does it compare v A's? Slightly scary as msm says Asda equivalent is £6.30!
    Showing as n/a for me in asda when in tesco meat section

  • Does anyone know an email address for Asda APG please. I carefully selected my items (and had a very similar shopping earlier this week worked fine) and it did not work properly. I just want to complain. :)

    You can't just stick any old card in there then? damn:o:o

    p.s. never get asked for CC in my local.

    Unless you tell them your OH did the shopping and it was his card to your joint account and here is yours.... and he is * at home looking after the kids/cooking dinner/wombling outside (* delete option where appropriate) he he:rotfl:

    Good evening to any of the night shift still about :beer:


    I can confirm that the two FryLight I bought yesterday (Sunday) for £1.50 each but using 2 x 50p moc's, comapred to 75p each (2 for £1.50) at Asda on my PP received this evening :j :j


    I got a callback from Tosco today too, after I rang them to complain that my local W!sbech had stated on Friday that they are only taking one coupon per item purchased which ruined my planned spend for a £5 voucher, and they too confirmed that the store was right, they can only accept one coupon per item bought, otherwise they will not get the money back for the multiple coupons if they accept them. He said, no difference between 'per purchase' and 'per transaction' :mad: :mad:

    I will add that I went to my other local at M$rch on Saturday and they accepted multiple coupons with no problem whatsoever, and I used multiple couponss at Wisbech on Sunday too, just to check ;) and I had no problem

    Dont you just love Tossco :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:



    Optimistic - I am puzzle as to why you filled the dishwasher when you went for a bath :o Surely it would have been better to fill the bath :eek: :eek:

    However, I do echo your thought about the return of Budgie. Good to see you posting again hun and glad your Dad is getting the treatment I hope will help him (((hugs)))

    I didn't make any notes while I was catching up but did notice lots of posts about children not settling at uni or having problems at school. Hoping this all gets sorted for you all :)

    Thanks 3dogs and sorry to hear about all the trauma your Mum has had, glad she is settled now but you are so right if you are old and needing care, it must be dreadful if you have no family etc to look out for you. Big hugs (()) xxx

    Hi to Tweets too, your quote got lost but hope you are ok? xxx

    Well I have only skimmed I am afraid, so apologies if I have missed something? But Happy Birthday to Ginstar :bdaycake:hope you have had a lovely day. xxx

    Well some good news, went to see Dad earlier and he looked in good spirits. He had been given "Stickers" yesterday which the nurse put on his card for "Good Behaviour"? But it cheered him up so that was nice. :) Dad says they don't give them out often. to be honest I have never heard of these.

    Well I have also joined a tarot class and I start next week, Halloween, hope I don't scare myself though. ;) But I have wanted to join it for a while but it was at 5pm so couldn't do it due to working. It will be good to do something different and to meet some new people.

    So I do hope everyone else is ok, though I have skimmed through and seen this A E business. I just don't get why people would want to do this? It seems very strange to Budgie, Its like me signing up as "Beaky" and having a row with myself.

    For the avoidance of doubt if a "Beaky" does appear it will not be Budgie. ;)

    Still its nice that it all seems calm again now and the Elite thread is back to how it should be.

    Dallas now I am afraid, so take care Elite and be lucky. :D

    Budgie xxx

    I will have to take the risk in the morning too, not sure when they check the price but the longer the better.

    Its very rare they check which card you used to pay as they just ask you to stick it in the card machine. Perhaps you couldnt remember which card it was and just used the one you thought it might have been ;)

    I'm pretty sure it is against credit card T&Cs and may even breach money laundering laws (I dont know for sure but have seen that discussed elsewhere)

    My paranoid nature means I would steer well clear of that :(

    I'd do it on a cash receipt in a heartbeat. :D

    And before [STRIKE]anyone [/STRIKE] one particular user starts, that doesn't make me a hypcrite by the way. It just shows I prefer to do things that are not trackable and would not result in a change to policy that would make things harder for people in the future ;)
