Can anyone help make sense of this? :beer:

My TCB is showing 7p pending from Tosco :huh:

It shows transactions from start of August that are "purchase amount 1p and 6p" and "cash back amounts 1p and 6p"

!!!!!! are these?

could it be from when the SA didn't want to take all your coupons at once and you had each shop put through separately using your card?

Woohoo.

I've just had a chunk of Kurt Geiger cashback pay out through quidco :j

Only been 6 months :eek:

I had to ask why my Elemis had not paid out after a year waiting and they paid me straightaway :T Said it was a goodwill gesture because I had waited all that time

Talking of which, don't forget that all those Dark and Milk Chocolate Digestives from an earlier Sada APG offers have those Coink VIP points on them too! I've just found about 30 packets. Woop. Woop.

And the medley boxes, mine aint got them though.

I should have done that. They declined mine

I wonder if you flagging it up to them spurred them into looking into and cancelling the rest. :think:

Hi there - thanks to Zippy and Aau1 earlier for the fun over my Carling Zest calculation error. I was going to say I'm "...wrong...but right in the end". Little typos often creep in on my first attempt at posting, but I always notice them and am self-correcting in the end.

Except that 'always' is wrong itself now and should be "almost always".

I'd simply added the £3 difference (between the actual original charge of the product and the erroneous SEL) to my original figure which was itself wrong as I slipped on the calculator:o:o. (Double - once for the wrong amount and second for my mental arithmetic not being what it once was - I think if you use it... this was really good when I was at school (many years ago) but, after schoolchildhoodum, do many of us need to do those things again?:) As I'm now more recently doing calculations once again, due to taking up this shopping method, it will improve. He says...:rotfl:)

It's now clear to me that, technically:rotfl:, Aau1 had told me of my incorrect calculation...



However, because of that ":rotfl:" I thought he was having a bit of fun there, as my figure that didn't account for the £3 possibility was itself a corrected figure from what first appeared. So you should have told me more directly that it was still wrong. As I thought the above reply was having a joke, I didn't go back and re-check the amount, then when I added the £3 I simply added it to the incorrect figure.

FC could, of course, input something about direct communication, but, whether she or I did it, it would probably not be an interesting point and would take us off the current topic. I suspect there's a little element in there though... (As to why I didn't 'click' that the above comment was asking for me to recheck my maths. But usually I do get when things are jokes or aren't: as, in a lot of respects, I'm only a little way along the spectrum.)

Anyway.
The significance of the original quote of Sal's post (which having waffled on for lines and lines I'll now requote so you don't have to scroll all the way back to the top of this post:



Thanks for this, and thanks for the Extra Special Conserve and the Nappy Sacks.

Just going to comment (for the purposes of hoping saving even more money and making us all - including myself! - even better) some of the Nestle Munch Bunches (Fromage Frais Yogurt Drinks) have been/are 50p in A (so T or S vs A, on whichever are applicable i.e. comparable on your particular shop) or Avs W filler (or, if you are really dare-devil, Avs S or T on ones they allegedly doing have on msm.co.uk - check logged in and logged out). Although I wouldn't go for even them (without an MOC or further cashback) - the SP Fromage Frais (Avs S on that at my last check) is cheaper. Shall I start a new post as whatever I now say, that's probably of more significant use, will now get lost in all this?

I expect you noticed as you notice most things. that aau and myself are like bookends on your thanked posts.
