    I've been sent £70 worth of Lovetoshop vouchers to my home address. :j Not sure why though as there's no note attached. Don't suppose anyone on here would have any ideas?

    Competition win? A couple of months ago I had a box of virgin wine turn up unexplained :j followed by a letter or email? can't remember which now, a few days later telling me I'd won it in a prize draw

    Thanks to everyone I managed to go and get the cheese.
    I know many of you have mentioned in the past that you can freeze the cheese. Is that right?

    Thanks again this is a great thread.
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    I'm still struggling to get my head round this.
    Let me get this right....you could have got your shopping for £8.40. Instead you paid £14.44. You get the difference back, plus 85p. So to make 85p profit you have to deliberately do a more expensive shop than what you could have done, plus ensure your shop complies with the APG T&Cs, and spend time & printer ink/paper to log on & print your APG. All of that is assuming that you haven't spent extra time/petrol going to Asda instead of the cheaper shop. And you don't get loyalty points either?
    If I've got this right, it's hardly the steal of the century *confused*
    You are and so is the apg machine the pepsi/coke whatever actually cost £10 not £14 ;)
