    hope she wrote it down incase u get some1 different when you go back ;) im not great at explaining.i meant its cause there all part of the same linksave ,when you get more than 10 the computer has problems taking off the correct discount..10 has always been the maximum.lucky for us this isnt very well advertised :beer:have had a few giftcards and given out a few due to this. thats why i think there are signs in the store i work now and all csd colleagues are aware of how the offer works:(

    I phoned C S as I didn't have time to go back. She did give me a reference number which is on the back of the receipt and said to pop into store whenever it was convenient for me. Nice to get helpful people on the end of the phone for a change :)

  • Yes, it was money alright, but not UK currency, it was 1 Ghana Cedi. Ok I thought, that's not so bad so just put it into the currency converter

  • Now the question is do I go back out and try again, or cut my losses and run?!
    Spotted another couple of multibuys that are of interest. Some of the Old El Paso is on 3 for 2 in Sainsbugs and 2 for £2.50 in A's so if I bought 6 in A's it may compare favourably. And bottles of Ribena £2.38 or 2 for £4 or £1.44 in S's. And then there's the Coke as well :think: :think:

    Me thinks I'll work out the cost when DD is in bed and then decide!

    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Don't worry big guy, just a bit of fun and that is my one and only post to the troll this evening. I'm a happy Dumpy at the mo, however, that could change later depending on the results of my three Sada shops..:cool:
    What did you buy I could not think/find anything we wanted that compared well :( apart from the cheese and still have a block or two:T in the freezer from before.

    There are some flavours that you can only get in multipacks

    Vanilla with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry underlayer being one of them :(

    Just back from Asda what a palavour - got 20 mullers - she charged me for only 19 so the multibuy didnt kick in but also when CS tried to correct it she couldnt get it to work on 20 only on 10 at a time - took 30 minutes to sort out and then got £1.90 ish back oh and a £2 gift card supposodly for it taking so long (ummm actually because you overcharged me).

    I would buy 10 at a time if you want less hassale.

    Hello again. I have been here - for the last hour catching up/trying to find where I saw a post I wanted to quote:rotfl:. I now think I've spotted a pattern to the m'buy Sada glitching:

    1) On Sundays when I have had a lie-in and not got up till after 1 in the afternoon, and then rushing about pulling together a shop with multibuys and trying to get there before early closing at 4.:mad:

    and

    2) On random Tuesdays when I've been at work all day and only get back to checking here after 7pm, when the glitch is already well in swing and about to end.:mad:

    Either way, whenever I least expect it and then, when I find out, I'm left running about at the last minute. So, if you notice a prolonged absence from me on here, there's sure to be a glitch on!:mad::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've done a Sada shop. I have decided to buck the trend and do a 'versus T' shop, but goodness me - I was pulling all of that together at short notice!!!:mad:

    There are a few more multibuys than is usual on one of my receipts(:rotfl:) - I spent a little more than I was planning to but hopefully a lot more coming back - but :) for once here: I like it when items I have just ran out of start on a glitch - we needed some bacon so I'm hoping that glitches and thanks for posting it here. I looked for the Persil WULs, but couldn't find any in my store - I've never spotted them there and asked a member of staff and neither had they. Would have been great as two fillers on my shop, but left me scrambling around for something else instore!!

    Waiting on 6 PP wombles from yesterday, come on Tesco get a move on:rotfl:

    I've been on the wait for well over 24 hours for my prize porkers too. Seems like none of their system is up and on the go over the weekends. They took a bit of time on the previous one as well. I entered that one on a Monday evening, after I'd shopped, then went work all the following day - got back late (after 7pm) - and there was a PP email in my in-box - but I noticed that it had only been sent to me 10 minutes earlier!! As of now, the ones I've entered in yesterday have still not come back.:mad: It's like drawing teeth again!

    With all the A glitching going on, I'm sure I'm forgiven for pushing back the potential 'Tvs S' listing - I've decided to wait till a little later in the week, after the price changeovers on that. Meanwhile, I may well be in M tomorrow, to pick up a couple of "M cheapest, NA for A" items that we need and as the Mullers glitch may continue, I'll print off my list (minus the WW meals that I expect to have finished in M) and try and see what's still on (doubt I can put much on here till Tues. evening though - but it may be a preview of the Wed. details and might be a little bit of help - hoping Mon, about 9pm, to come back and confirm what the offer is in M on the Mullers - maybe today's APG prices will work on Monday as that's before the updating from Monday's price collection).

    The Cow & Gates are also on a multibuy in M (about time I caught up with that - I'll try tomorrow - they've been missing previously since there are so many of them and it seems so complex to me to note the right varieties and flavours and precise offers so I've left it to a 'special project' - tomorrow might be the day to do that project and also tick off the items currently on my M list that are still on the same prices/offers in M tomorrow).
