    Thanks. I have tried to avoid doing these.. Maybe I need to start. I really hate going into my local asda now. lol



    The G&B gives the best return, works out almost free, whereas the others work out around .75p approx each.

    Still an absolute bargain and great for christmas pressies

    OK having been involved with all the tecso CC points stuff years ago when it was good and getting holidays every year from it I have come to accept its never happening again so instead I want chocolate ;) I have read the first post and im trying to get my head around this so taking this shop I have quoted I just want to check I have it right in my head.

    There are a load of fillers and then theres the chocolate triggers. I see the fingers are £7 each or 3 for £10 but the ferrero tree is £4 and isnt in an offer. I had assumed it was in the 3 for £10 offer and the comparison tool maybe didnt 'see' the offer and thats how it worked [STRIKE]but thats obviously not the case. So the poster has paid the full £7 each for the fingers, is that right? I get the total shop to be £20.41 but the breakdown shows £15.03 which I assume is not what the shopper paid but what adsa tots up the comparable products to be. The £8.10 is what im assuming it would have cost at Waistrose. £7.75 is how much Adsa have given them back in the form of a voucher with their APG so in total the shop has cost the customer £20.41 minus £7.75 voucher back equals £12.66 paid for the shopping which to me I must be missing something because I dont see the greatness :o

    Please help me grasp this before I fail miserably with my first shop[/STRIKE] :T

    You are right.....up to a point

    never stop doing your best because someone doesn't give you credit
  • I live in a fridge- old victorian windows and gaps in floorboards. Heating could not be on all the time because it would break the bank. Here's a thought for you - the pipes in my downstairs loo froze last year and they are inside the house:D

    My GHD straighteners will not work in the very cold mornings- they have an inbuilt protector that will not allow them to be turned on - have to hairdry them for a min before they will kick start. Now quit your whinging and get your vest and hat on:D

    oh lordy that reminds me of the first flat I bought all by myself. It only had an electric fire in the living room and no other heating. Used to have ice on the INSIDE of my bedroom window :eek: Thankfully it was only me there so could walk about like Nanook of the North with my multiple layers on :rotfl:

    Hello. I bet you didnt expect your shop to be so closely scrutinised lol Im baffled as to what offer you used though as the fingers as 3 for £10 but you only bought 2 and the tree isnt in the offer. so what am I missing?
    You have to pay for the first shop then use the apg generated from that for the next one.
    ie the £12.66 shop i only had to pay £3.90 as i had an apg for around £8 and this shop has gave me the £7.75 for my next shop hth ;)

    Hope you're feeling better soon :)

    I've only ever known one other person to have shingles and that was an old uncle of mine about 30 years ago. I'm always paranoid about getting it when I hear of someone with chicken pox :eek: I know, I'm weird :rotfl:

    I had heard of shingles but thought it was much like chicken pox, itchy rash and feeling under the weather but it is really painful. I honestly thought I had torn muscles in my side. It wasn't until the cluster of lumps appeared that I realised it was a doctor job!! x
    Before you assume, learn the facts,
    Before you judge, understand why,
    Before you hurt someone, feel,
    Before you speak, think.

    So is the idea that we dont actually make use of the offer therefore paying more for the fingers as they are most likely at a bumped up price anyway to make the offer look better which is how we get the big difference in price at other stores. Has the penny dropped with me or am I way off again lol

    When you buy them you pay 3 4 £10 but when you get the APG it does not recognise the 3 4 £10 hth
    The tree is in the 3 for £10 section instore

    So you bought 3 items in the 3 for £10 offer? I only see that you bought 2 x fingers. The tree isnt showing as in the offer on adsa online so what other item did you buy in the 3 for £10?
    When you buy them you pay 3 4 £10 but when you get the APG it does not recognise the 3 4 £10 hth
