    Took me a while to spot, but the Blueberry isn't on the 'what to buy' list posted earlier made up by RootedNomad with the help of Savvybuyer's earlier post. These were invaluable, thanks so much to those who helped put the lists together.... I believe this is where you went wrong. :(
  • Bonne chance DJ - I chickened out.....had no time to do proper research on multy and was afraid I would screw up. I wombled like hell today and met Julie Elizabeth. She had cleared the carpark just before I arrived.....we had a little chat and she lent me her tweezers;)

    I had been wombling a little earlier at a different sada - pretty decent results today:D

    Hiya patty

    I got one biggie £6.37 - feminine care and frozen were excellent multis not showing. Oh and £3 trolleys as well

    Woo Hoo
    NO MORE HANDWASH GLITCHES PLEASE :D:D

    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!

    I wish my adsa was open late ... I managed to get a £9 apg by fluke by adding some coke :D I'd love to be able to get some more

    Fingers crossed the glitch will still be on tomorrow

    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.

    Just realised I quoted this post and then didn't explain why or give my response to it!!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I was to say that sometimes I prefer more hassle!:T It seems to be, here, the right approach is to buy 20, wait for the linksave not to calculate correctly, go to CS about the overcharge and get a £2 gift card back (last time I was overcharged, they didn't mark my receipt - not sure this is standard as only getting into this??), then the comp. vs M's two pence each (glitched prices).
