    Tenth Anniversary
    Just come back from A$da. Was hoping to pick up some Nivea things (to do a A vs S shop) but I couldn't find them anywhere in my store (looks like they are refurbishing it atm). So I just did a A vs T shop.

    I did manage to pick up some things for MSL. Coke Zero, Dettol handwash and Gaviscon. I used my Danio coupon as well as it runs out at the end of the month and they're buy one get one free atm in Te$co.

    Will post my APG results later.

    I also picked up the new A$da magazine which has two coupons in. One for 50p off Golden Wonder 6 pack crisps and the other for £1 off Cushelle supersize.

    Does anyone know what the limit is for the MSL things (i.e is it one per account?)? I still have all of the promos showing even though I've already redeemed some of them..

    These sound like the old mags, the cushelle is out of date if they are:o
    The person who never makes a mistake never learns anything.

    Ok, I couldn't resist doing the maths. Something has to keep my brain alive. :p

    Kelloggs fruit n fibre
    T - £2.69 3 for 2
    S - £1.34
    Buy 9
    Before 3 for 2 kicked in price was £24.21 so 4 fuel vouchers
    Pay £16.14 v £12.06
    TPP = £4.08

    Kelloggs Just right
    T - £3.14
    S - £1.49
    Buy 4
    Get 2 fuel vouchers
    Pay £12.56 v £5.96
    TPP = £6.60

    Total spend £28.70 and TPP of max £10 so fillers need to be about same price. Or buy each type of cereal separately, (don’t do some and some or you won’t get 4 vouchers with the fruit n fibre.)
    If my theory works, you get 13 boxes of cereal for under £19, and 30p off per litre of fuel. :D
