    Hi there - usual last hour of opening dash to A. I've gone vs T on this one.

    Shop of 8 different items consisted of the Hartley Jelly (5 different flavours!), which are currently on 3 for £1 in T. I'll be able to tell you which of them have been picked up vs M this week:j (M 3 for £1 too) for those doing vs M and not needing an extra shop to do vs T. Also find out whether there is a m'buy glitch on them (although we probably won't be able to tell which of them is causing the glitch:( as I've bought 5 varieties).

    Also got the Cravendale (we only like semi-skimmed I'm afraid) - I like that they are 'pure filter' meaning - we wouldn't actually have needed more milk if all expiring in a week's time - but now we are sorted well into this month in case it doesn't glitch again. 5 jellies + Cravendale, 6 items!

    One of the usual items. 7.

    And just one more item and it was APG-valid! Excellent:j:j. Quite small spend as well:j. Results due around 1am. But... shops now shut, this will mean the info. will be ready and waiting for anyone shopping tomorrow!:)

    Also - found a number of wombles! A surprise for me as it was so late - I thought they'd all be nabbed! I really must remember to take a £1 coin though, to separate trollies if necessary, rather than pushing it out, saw one receipt trapped under a trolley, couldn't resist as I saw most of the items had lines separating them - in other words age verifications - they have bought a lot of alcohol, although some are the same, there's more than 8 different items in total, and they've bought 2 wines as well. They also did not get any of them on A multibuys!:D:T I am hoping it could be a big one..!!

    The alcohol ones tend to give the best returns :D

    Fingers (nearly all of them :rotfl: ) crossed :)

    Hello - the 40p Robinsons coupon in the most recent Mr T mag is still being accepted on the tills despite it being passed expiry date - and the price is now only £1. a bottle - making it 60p. Also Yeo valley works on the small tubs of natural yogurt which are only 50p and this one has expired too. I used both of them today - no problems at all. :)


    A house divided against itself cannot stand - I love this proverb, and thanks to my lovely family for making me realise that we can get through most things together ;)

    Savvy, what you need to carry is a pair of tweezers. An invaluable wombling tool perfect for those receipts in stuck trollies ;)

    Exactly why I have posted as I have. And why I've got some jump-arounds on. I haven't tried to work out which precise items they are - hoping they don't cancel each other's prices out. Therefore restraining from being too heavy on the jump-arounds (e.g. a row of them) just at the moment. The receipt is also not a very very long one either - another good sign I'm hoping. Thanks for the finger-crossed support!

    I need to take that reduced one I got as a BM filler in Sains. recently!:D As a man though (:D), that didn't come immediately to mind - I'll bear it in mind in future though - just need to remember to take the tweezers now!:rotfl:

    When will you get the result in, we are all intrigued now.

    I'm sure Patty would be able to give you some pointers on technique.

    I'm hoping tonight - 3 hours is up just before midnight. However I'm going carefully - got that dreaded 'you are up to your 10 claims' early doors this morning, even though I'd only claimed four!:eek: I've come offline since, and it seems to have allowed me to view a 70p womble result on a different receipt since then (much smaller than the amount it wouldn't let me print), but still I'm going to try a receipt which has less potential value back first just in case. 28 days from today's shopping day is...still this calendar month! Alcohol shop was done today, it's got to be done with care.
