tiger can you please post the result to the copied shop when you have done it? thanks

I will Tom but Im only going about 730 tonight. It should work though as that's two identical shops posted, both giving £3.75 back on a £4 spend. I want 10 yogs for 25p!!:j:j Can't justify paying £1.odd :rotfl::rotfl:

My DD is off to High School in September. Only one specialist supplier and everything has to be from them - £25 just for jumper!!

For PE/games she has to have a tracksuit, skort, shorts, top, bass layer leggings and dance leggings plus a special holdall with logo, not to mention hockey socks, 2 pairs trainers, football boots, shin pads and gum shield from anywhere. Plus £50 to rent a locker and we have to supply the padlock!! :eek:

i am in shock obviously we get of lightly with the clothes and locker rental £1 covers the whole time in school just in case you loose the key return the key get £1 back

Now I could be very very wrong as I have no idea how MSM works nor what difference it makes when things show as logged in or logged out but .... I've had a quick look and from the list above, I cannot see the following 4 flavours listed in Sada and when I look in Sains they show as N/A against A.

1 x Muller Light Mandarin Yogurt Fat Free N/A
1 x Muller Greek Style Corner Yogurt with Rhubarb N/A
1 x Muller Light Fat Free Rhubarb Yogurt N/A
1 x Muller Fruit Corner Blueberry Yogurt N/A

As well as that I cannot see 'Muller Rice Limited Edition' so my redneck theory is that because there are 5 flavours not listed on MSM but they are available in store, the APG machine doesn't see that you have bought any offer hence the 68p comparison.

Just a thought and I'm sure someone will be along to prove me wrong

Afternoon to everyone. Its taken me a while to catch up since I got back from work via Ts where I managed to pick up a few more packs of 1p crackers. My family think I'm mad, but now have a nice little stash.:rotfl:

I was looking on msm and noticed that the 70cl malibu is £11 in Sainsburys which with voucher makes it £9. not a bad deal.:j

I also have a question and don't know if this is the right place - well quite a few questions actually, but at the mo its about the colgate total voucher.

Again I was looking on msm for the best price. In sainsburys it £1.32 on offer so would be 82p after coupon. However it appears to be 65p in Waitrose. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use coupons in waitrose as I thought I had read somewhere recently that they do not accept any vouchers at all?

Sorry if I've rambled on too much but find this thread fascinating, although don't entirely understand everything:o

Dizzy_Ditzy

My Always trial from bzz has arrived

There are 2 packs of always and 8 x£1 vouchers valid til 31/10/13

umme_sue

Rappor.....smooth everyday 100g was £2.59 now 62p
Nescafe original decaff 200g was £5.59 now £1.59



Nescafe Instant Coffee, Original 500g was £12.?? now £6.??


blend 37 was also reduced but cant remember price sorry.

:( I won't say the rude words Im thinking Dodo!!

I think these sales are a great idea and I wish more schools would do it. My DSs primary school won't because as Lawrie said earlier, they profit from the sale of the items.
I was watching something on TV recently about 2 women who set up a uniform exchange it their area (I think it was Blackburn?) They had funding from somewhere and they had a brilliant set up where people could exchange items they didn't need for items they did. Bigger sizes, different uniforms etc. Great idea
