    Ouch on the McCain would be £1.50 TCB starting today as well as 50p on the milk !

    Wrong chips, they are the ordinary yellow packet on TCB not the HOME chips) (although I doubt TCB would notice):)

    I grabbed a little photo of her and my dad to have by her bedside but I must take down an album that is such a good idea. Unfortunately her eyesight is so poor because of other problems she cannot see to read and the tv at the hospice although close is a bit of a blur. :(

    Hugs coming your way Tinyshoes - hope this may help about photos. When my dad was in the hospice we took in a big family photo. He could no longer see very well or really remember everyone but the nurses and all the wonderfull volunteers would chat away to him about the family whenever they were with him.

    Just wanted to highlight

    Kenco Millicano £1.50 c/b on Quidco
    Currently £1.99 in T's but OFFER ENDS TOMORROW so "should" compare OK on APG if buying in A's today but probably not tomorrow as MSM update 1 day early on most offers.

    OK to buy in T's until tomorrow.

    Of course if the offer is extended I'm a misinformer but I don't have a crystal ball so I'm getting mine today!

    Thanks to OP that said the T's offer was ending tomorrow...:beer:

    Occassional lurker here ... I don't post very often, only when I have something to add to the party ! So forgive me if this one has already been found, as I struggle to keep up with the thread.

    I did a regular grocery shop in T yesterday, but made sure my items were cheaper in A to get a small PP. But the following came up on the PP this morning on the Kingsmill 50/50 bread :

    Asda was cheaper Tesco was cheaper Tesco was cheaper

    2 x KINGSMILL 50/50 MEDIUM 800G 1.50 * 2.00 2.70 2.70


    Now the thing is, both T and A have this bread on offer at 2 for £2, but T has calculated it on the PP at 2 for £1.50 ! Even checked it in store at the time on the MySupermarket App.

    Annoying, as it has lost me out on some of the PP I should have got, but maybe someone can make use of the glitch.

    Just got my simple face wipes from bzzagents - a whole 7 wipes!!! :rotfl:

    There's a few T 50p vouchers as well but they are £3 each in T and the best comparison i can see is 3 for 2 in S - do you think T would recognise to the offer?

    Actually that would end up as £4.50 for 3 packets :think: not sure I can cope with paying £1.50 for a packet of wipes - you lot have ruined me!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Thanks Iamsohappy - you are absolutely right - APG results available already for a delivery received an hour ago! :beer: The Vaseline deo that I ordered for free delivery was substituted and both items have compared well vs T :) S & G the same, they compared both lots but substitute was n/a at T.

    I actually paid £21.xx for the whole shop and got £16 back on APG - would certainly try this again

  • I just got my post, had a letter back from a company about a complaint, they asked me to send the packaging and it cost me £2.70 and a padded envelope to do this.

    I got a letter back today which didn't have any MOC to refund postage and product.

    I phoned up and started to complain, when I realised that although the envelope had my name on it the letter inside was for somebody else:(

    Lady was very, very apologetic and said they would sort it out:)
