Hi everyone and a Happy New Year to you all! I am looking advice from you experts regarding APG.
Just to tell you a little about myself I am a divorced male and I am retired on a state pension so as you can imagine I have to be careful regarding spending.

I started using coupons and voucher’s a year ago and prior to doing that the amount of cash I had left by my next pension day would only be a few pounds; I have a free bus pass and plenty of time to go to most of the supermarkets so I basically follow the bargains and coupons free samples etc. Providing I have use for them.

I bought a large chest freezer to go with my split fridge freezer to enable me to batch cook meals and buy some items in bulk and freeze sometimes I find bread reduced to 19p so I will by 5 loaves or milk reduced and freeze them so at the moment they are both pretty full.
The amount of money I have saved over the last year has amazed me I have no debt and a £1000 in savings what a turn around, and the bonus is on top of that is I am eating like a King and trying loads of different types of food.

When I go shopping I will go to a supermarket with a list and armed with my coupons etc. Making sure I only get what I went for unless I come across some Woopsies! So quite often I may only spend £5 or on times less but I will do this in a number of places Lidl, Aldi, Morrison’s, Tesco, Sainsbury, as I said I have a bus pass and time.

So going back to the APG I don’t think there is any advantage for me or is there? I have now turned this into a hobby and I just love it when I get some things for free or for pence there have been times when I am at the checkout and have 2 bags of shopping for a few pounds it’s just amazing if I had done this throughout my life I would be a very rich man now.

So thank you all for the tips I have already received and if anyone can give me some more please do so as they say in Tesco every little helps

Hi viv
love the bit about living like a king :T
best thing I can say is keep reading as far as the apg is concerned because on its own its ok but when there is a glitch its fantastic.
Friday I think it was shower gels where free and taking money off your shopping as an example so got myself 32 over 4 shops.
Search the thread for nivea and read that days posts see how everyone works together for the best deals

Hi everyone.

I have a couple of apgs for £17, tried using them yesterday but sa could not work out how to do them, I was in a rush so just paid without coupons.

Didn't know whether till did not accept the amount as over £15 or sa unsure how to input them.

Can anyone tell me their experience with larger apgs, thanks.

Afternoon everyone. Was going to pop out to Aldi for the fruit & veg. specials and then come back on here later. It always seems to be the last hour of opening by the time I get to the shops on a weekend (or something like it), but I just checked their website and looks like they're closed today. So, I'm here, a bit earlier, but still late (it's 1 Jan.) and probably doing four posts drawn in distraction toward some of the comparisons and then going to look for some glitches (after all, we have got all evening left).

Right, the post above, I now understand what was meant (having read another reply to it in the meantime) - it meant A 10% cheaper.

But I'll let you have my initial, stranger take on it - namely (commenting on the above comparison) seems they didn't buy the right items did they, and seems M's price was lowered mainly by the Robinsons being on half price and the Dairylea Dunkers. They bought the wrong number of Listerine (and the wrong number of Ritz Crackers packs for that matter too).

Many thanks for this - you've made me aware of the 6pk Fullers Snowballs on at a straight 50p (instead of the other brand having to be bought on multibuy in T for the same effective cost) and that the Fullers in A don't (at least not on the date of this shop) compare to M.
