A. Question re click scan etc.

I have a receipt with bananas on which also has baby wipes.

can I send in one receipt two times for 2 different items ?

The rec only says baby wipes and does not specify which ones so will it still track?

Is there a human looking at these scanned recs - just wondering if its also worth including picture of packet in the background or is that idea crackers?

can't wait to get started on this, I've collected an assortment of recs this morning and rescued ones from the recycling so these are all in a basket reading to go through, photos and then scanned.

Won item on ebay.

Seller contacted and said get lost, I don't ship to Mexico.

Contacted seller and pointed out that I'm in Aberdeen, Scotland and that the last time I checked Scotland was still part of the United Kingdom.

Seller wrote back saying she couldn't sell the item to me anyway as she had just checked with Royal Mail and that she couldn't send it in the post.

I wrote back saying that the only postage option she had listed was by My Hernes courier and what was she worried about.

Seller wrote back saying "I don't ship to Mexico"

Wrote back asking her what !!!!ing planet/drugs she was on or if she is genuinely thick.

Seller hasn't replied but has reported me to ebay for "auction interference".

peeps that are getting a good result on your tosco pp results. do i need to get the special pack in tosco or any 6 pack please

Afternoon.
Although I leaving almost straight away, to go and get these in S. You need to get the special pack, as it needs to be the item that's on offer in A for £1. Also - as T is £3 and A £1, it's £2 towards the PP - so maximum of 5 (and then you'd have to have nothing else cheaper in A) so as not to exceed the £10 cap. S is £3.30 vs A's £1, so £2.30 towards the BM on each one - may limit me per shop but I'm using a previous BM voucher, and I don't much like T!:rotfl::rotfl:

PP results are through from yesterday: I managed to compare on each item vs the lowest price available of the competitors. White Potatoes are comparing to A's S/P Red - makes no odds on this shop anyway but it makes 8 items - would have bought them at A (and used something else in my T shop) if MSM had regarded them as comparable. 50 extra CC's for spending £5, which puts me on the minimum £1.50 before they issue a voucher in the quarterly statement, 50p when quadrupled, hopefully, makes £2. For spending £3.50 on A's prices + 20p for the two stock cubes packs. Effectively £1.70. (Would have been lower if stern trout woman not present.) Gained just 27p via CS later, so £1.50 moneycard. Hope I'm getting all this shop for 20p! (Although that's doublecounting the overcharge from the last shop, which probably doesn't count!)

Everything at A already at least 10% cheaper! And the fresh broccoli, bought last week on Aldi super 6 - 39p each - no longer on super 6, so 50p was the best I could do - I think! - this week. Many thanks to you if you put a post on here, alerting me to the Broccoli at 50p in A, whilst I was putting together my shopping list minutes before I left to do my shop - this really helped me (from an APG list that gave nothing!).
