    If I'm spending that much, I'd tend to go for all half prices elsewhere, though the £10 limit rather puts a stop on that - and building the rest up, beyond £10 cheaper comparable, by using very cheap non-comparables isn't that easy!! Remember you're losing CC points too on those T half-price offers - as they aren't charging more, getting the CC points and then refunding to match a cheaper price elsewhere.

    (Gosh, I am so cynical.)




    Quite easy, buy things that are the same price as adsa or don't compare at all that you have coupons for



    :wall:

    :eek: You know I would never knowingly buy items in T that were same price in A. All of them miss out on the 10%.

    (Even if MOCs may make the price better, if they are specific to T - however, even there, if another item was avail. for the MOC, significantly and well more than 10% cheaper in A, I would (if I were shopping in T) buy that in T. Otherwise, I don't see it as moneysaving to lose 10% of the cost everytime an item the same price in T and A is bought in T. Even as a filler - some other filler, such as all the non-comp ones on the first post, would be better used than an item being used as a filler that loses the 10%.)

    Haven't read back so sorry if it's a double post a couple of more 50p items.
    119771.jpg?v=1
    Alberto Balsam Matt Styling Paste (200ml)
    Store_2.28px.png[STRIKE]£1.46[/STRIKE] 50p

    129802.jpg?v=1
    Alberto Balsam Styling Wax (75ml)
    Store_2.28px.png[STRIKE]£1.46 [/STRIKE]50p

    If it was a double post, many thanks as I've now seen this!!

    If it wasn't a double post, many thanks!:)

    :T And there was me...thinking of buying the Matte Paste as a filler at £1.00 in A the other week!:eek::eek: Glad I stopped and didn't do that - may be time now to use as fillers vs any other competitor. So there's two more items now for those who can do Avs W. Or Avs T, Avs S or Avs M*. Unless we see them at 20p soon!:rotfl:

    *Care on Avs M though - not willing to stick my neck out and say for definite - let's see what the results are vs M (for those that can see them) before we go on this one.

    Trying to hit a conditional spend? Or because you have bonus/double point coupons? Or T is only option to travel to?

    Lets agree to disagree shall we? :beer:

    Not a trouting really, but a very astute SA in Ts realised the Oasis I had 2 coupons for was on offer at 2 for £1.50 and duly entered them at 75p each :mad:
    On the plus side, Pizza Express dressings with a Try me free collar and 49p PP against A. Just in case it's of any use.

    If you had seen my post last night you would have seen that my bill came to £41.09, after mocs £8.84 and I had a pp for £8.78.

    So I don't think I lost out on the 10% do you ?

    T's have alot more moc's available than A's so a hell of a lot easier to get the total right down.

    On the rare occasion that happens to me I always insist that they write down the price on the coupon (Because I wouldn't want them charging the manufacturer more than I had paid!;))
