Have you received your orders?
If so, are the 5000 points showing on the delivery note?

My bad. I am just being impatient. LOL.

If you buy say £40 worth of stuff in A's and it costs exactly the same in T's and it's dearer elsewhere you will get an APG for £4 because of the 10% £4 every week or whatever soon mounts up

Shopping lists tend to planned, checked and double checked on myS before shopping to get the best returns

APG has the potential for big gains when multi buys are not recognised :cool: or things compare at silly prices like the bombay potatoes, Kingsmill bread, S&G deoderant etc

So do you split your shopping so that items that are cheaper at A are paid for seperately so that they don't affect the APG?

Just added up my NSD and managed 19 in January and 16 in Febuary, spends are much the same, but seeing it in black and white makes you think, have decided to just keep a spread for the supermarkets as the bigger spends would throw the figures too far out, such as I went to Dunelm and bought some stools and bits so spent a quarter of my monthly money in one go:D

Hello dawny,

It can take a while to get the hang of it all. It took me months:)

I would start off copying a small shop and start looking on MySupermarket.com and comparing prices.
Try and group your shopping separately into A and T. Buy in bulk when you discover a bargain and keep an eye on the thread for glitches

Good luck:)

You have to splash out sometimes. By saving our pennies we can treat ourselves when something nice comes along:)

That is correct :T


Also, on your targeted shop make sure you have at least eight comparable items (we all buy at least ten to be on the safe side)
