    DD wombled an APG for just over £5.50 today :eek: she beat her record of one for £5 last month.
    I just wish she was old enough to enter the lottery as she has a lot more luck than me :rotfl:
    she is old enough to hold premium bonds, let us know how she gets on.:p

    This is from a shop done in Asda 3 hours ago: -v- T

    I can confirm that you are paying 2 for 2.50 for the butter, but the APG thinks you've paid full price:

    4 x Lurpak Slightly Salted Butter (250g) £6.40 £5.60


    Other things of note on my receipt:


    2 x Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Pepperoni & Salame (32... £4.00 £2.78

    1 x Ambi Pur Plug-in Refill Sweet Citrus & Zest £3.98 £3.00



    The magnums unfortunately, are shown as multibuy but still worth getting as:

    2 x Wall's Magnum Infinity Chocolate & Caramel (3 per ... £3.00 £2.98

    HTHS

    If you buy 1 magnum infinity and 1 smartie cones, the cones don't show on apg and the magnums compare full price to £1.49 at T.

    Evening all.
    I did a car boot sale today and we 'met' someone who lurks on this list who recognised my stash of S&G deos for sale and the fillers(flumps, white mice etc) I was giving away.
    She is a friend of Martin and I just wanted to say hello again, it was lovely to meet you. Please be brave and post here!!

    Beautiful weather we are having(said in a Yoda voice!!)

    Have any of you guys actually gone through the external bins of supermarkets? Or is that a different cattle of fish altogether? I am asking because I was tempted to, just to look for the coupons thrown away by self service tills.

    You can DM me if you dont want to admit it in the thread :p

    No, but there was a clear plastic bin bag by the entrance one day full of receipts and other rubbish and it did cross my mind ... :o.

    Thank you.
    This is another option - that has just narrowly missed my Avs T (as I have Nobbly Bobbly at £1.24 for T - expiring 7/5 - Sains £1.24 to 21/5).

    So there you have it - finally a 'proper' Avs T from me! (Plus the two versions of Surf 50.):D Thanks to that washing powder question!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
