Happy new year to all and hope you all had a good Christmas especially with all the chocs and bicccies.

Not been around much December was a really hard stressful month for me and have limited brodband access at the moment, so lurking mostly unfortunately.

Nice to see you posting again Fudge-cake.:T

My resolution is to come back and post more but it may not be until the end of February when things return to normal.

Heres to more glitches in 2013

My last post was a bit dry, wasn't it? Dear me...

The Glens vodka was a good option (unless you contradict me) - they put the milk on the wrong shop (vs M) or in the wrong number. And make the mistake of buying the loo rolls on an M comparison when they are an Av Sains one. (And faffed around with bitter lemons etc. when those sizes seem more expensive at M than S or T in different numbers to the ones they got.)

Of course they really weren't doing an M comparison shop at all and the thought almost certainly never crossed their mind that their shop would compare in that way.

Critique again of the general public shopping....

(I've highlighted one bit in bold above, as it might be v. helpful for you on here.)

Just got back from A - having turkey stroganoff for tea (defrosted spare crown roasted on xmas day) and I didn't have any sour cream.

2 wombles, both cheaper elsewhere but the 10% rule made them give me 6.27 APG. As promised gone in a sealed money box for saving (or rather cash out of my purse has).

Is this just for wombles?
Good idea I did start a diary but this would be easier. We could all open them on the same day maybe 1st Dec.

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.

Its no different than other apg's except that ones for over £10 have to have the amount entered manually as they don't scan.

I have used for one for £17.03 recently, the sa went into panic mode as she was not aware the £15 cap had been removed.

The supervisor was called and she didn't know the cap had been removed. All sorted though its a bit much that customers know more than asda staff about their own systems. (thank goodness:rotfl:)

My jaw dropped on first seeing the cold & flu capsules about half an hour ago, due to having seen a similar product at 55p for T (compared to from A). I am now jaw-dropping regarding some of the other items as well, such as the Little Angels disposable pads, the pork pies and the coconut milk (....and curry paste and even the bananas now as well!!). :rotfl:

They also bought the wrong bread: they should have bought it, if need be in the right number, against a different competitor (and perhaps taken a few other items from this shop with them onto another shop, vs the other competitor, or used alternatives, as fillers). Or, if all else failed, bought the Warburtons bread in Tosco or Sainsbobs (vs A!). NB: Care re. S given would need min. spend £20.

Still 35p - and 'every little helps' as they say, against your Sada shopping.

Right, that's the last one, for now, I'm going to critique!!:j

All APGs over £9.99 should be scanned as normal, then after inputting the amount SA should press 'Enter' on the till.
Some newer/less experienced SAs press 'Coupon' which results in an error.

Baxters are 3 for 2 instore & 3 for 2 on the APG analysis. They dont show as 3 for 2 at Tesco when compared on the APG.

The T's multibuy offer ends today, historically the offers are often taken down on MSM on the final day of offer.
