    Do Mr Ts print out their PP vouchers at the till now? I saw the advert and just wondering if its now made wombling there redundant?

    Amazingly people throw the PP away with receipts, so still worth a womble

    just a thought. Someone posted the other day, think it was Logie, about having to go and pick up 2 parcels, and they didnt know what was in the second one. Did we ever find out what was in the second one??

    It was boring as predicted.... the second parcel was actually for DH. He has the same initial for his first name so never can tell unless it says Mr/Mrs :D He had bought a code reader to get fault codes on cars smiley-yawn.gif :p

    Got another red card through the letterbox yesterday though so another mystery :D

    Items to hold off on and I'm refusing to buy into them at the moment:

    The Comfort Concentrate 42 washes - now £2.00 in A (which is a price increase then, as S have just come off price reduction at £2.00 - Avs S was £1.80). I've added a price alert onto them - waiting for W or possibly T to go to £3.30 any 2 for 1 on them.

    Non PP shop. Peppers and cucumbers are 2 for £1 as are the salad leaves? I thought they were separate offers but they have all compared strangely and I can't figure out why? I did have 2 cucumbers but the other found its way into my second shop :o

    I used all 3 fruit and veg coupons and the hoops and crosses one. And before anyone mentions the price of the apples:eek::eek: they are the only ones DS2 will eat because they're guaranteed to have no green bits on :rotfl::rotfl:

    Fairclaire, do the mocs for fruit/veg/salad scan properly now? Thanx :)
    I'm grabbing mine tomorrow and want to make sure they go through the till properly (last shop they weren't going through at all and had to be done manually).
    I know sometimes they take into account the spend before multi saves and not after.

    [STRIKE]Edit: I don't know if anyone mentioned it but the multisaves on the PP, it usually works out the discount as a % of the original price (I think). My Dad bought 4 bottles of 2 litre pop once (4 for £2) and 2 showed up as 53p and 2 showed up as 47p, was very bizarre.[/STRIKE]

    Edit again :D : I see Savvy explained it better than me, trust me to be so slow cathing up :D
    Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55
