    Sounds like 1 visit is enough :beer::beer::beer:

    If you mean 2.5 hours to get there and back ie 1.25 each way, I think you could do 2 trips - Friday and Monday?

    Squillion will give you a much better answer, but I think there is limited places you can use them.

    I suppose you could use them to pay a years insurance premiums up front? What about paying credit card bills off? TV licence? I haven't used these so Im not sure. Water bills? I wish I'd known about this sooner and looked into it in a bit more detail. I like paying my bills in one go where I can because we don't have much income to speak of.

    I said I wouldn't post - but I'm checking a lot of items vs M and finding either M don't have the equivalent size to A whereas T does have an equivalent (compared from A) or, in any event, the items are best Avs T:

    Avs T (as at 17/5/13)
    A Seafood Sticks (312g)
    £1.00 £1.075862 (T is 290g)
    A S/P Beetroot 500g
    44p 44p
    A SP Oranges
    49p 49p
    (Loose Oranges - 25p A vs 25p T or vs M 4 for £1.00 - TCB 4 oranges for 10p cashback)
    A Lemon Drizzle Dessert (120g)
    £1.00 is also showing £1.00 for T but I can't find any Lemon Drizzle on the T side of MSM at £1.00 (maybe I'm not searching well enough??)

    And, don't you just love it?:mad:, I have Somersby Cider (12x440ml) showing at £7.50 for A (and not avail. anywhere else) when I'm signed out on MSM, but same product showing avail. in T at £6 (and not available anywhere else) when on MSM signed in!!

    So let's combine those two pieces of information...

    Avs T
    Somersby Cider (12x440ml)
    £7.50 £6.00

    You'd never really guess would you, if you either stayed signed out or stayed signed out?!:rotfl::mad:
    £6.00 offer at T, however, showing as valid until 18/5 on MSM - so this may be very tight time to catch it!

    This post may be amended later as more items go on A vs T.
