Well done - glad you've had some luck:):).

My turn to have the bad luck again!:rotfl::mad: An afternoon of completely unsavvy shopping:( - bought the wrong Campbells (10 of them), only noticed after I had gone through the till, after closing time, when I saw no mbuys had come off. After that, I'll be lucky to get any APG: it'll totally mess it up, probably lost about £3 from that mistake, then turns out my store didn't have the right ones after all. I'll be lucky if it isn't even higher priced at the competitor, and of course I'd made up the eight items. Only hope that the wombles now pay for that - although I could have had the right ones (from the right place) plus any womble amount. That's what happens when way too late in the day and rushing around before closing.

I ignored a golden rule: Do not do an APG shop in a rush:(. Didn't start off well either - first shop I did, in the same store (using my trigger bought in another store on the route in and then refunded and rebought), none of the best item to go with it left. Didn't have any Kale either (this was supposed to be vs Waities), went down to second and third choices for some of the items. It'll be a miracle if my store has any triggers to the Belvita offer. Sure enough, it didn't (I think choc Belvita may be a trigger folks, vs W, with another Belvita - but be careful as only certain ones are on £1.29 in W - for those who can get the new choc Belvita, the one showing on a.com without a picture at the moment). Item I was hoping to be on an mbuy instore but full price on a.com (and cheaper in W) turned out to be full price, so had to chose another replacement.

At least I got my companion (on this occasion) to go through the self-service with different Activias vs Sains. Never entrust to anyone else at the staffed tills (who doesn't do APG like I do) when using different flavours to make up the 8 as they will doubtless be scanned all as the same one. At least I got them to buy me the right items, their shop will probably be the only good return.

The wombles not looking good either - they saved nearly £9:eek: on mbuy savings, and not ones that look too good to me. Oh well - I'm now going off to the cemetery (of all places) to put some flowers down for a loved one who died quite a few years back. I had drove straight here to home and forgotting to takw the turn to the church (which is much nearer to the A). So now going all the way back again! Special journey worth it for family though. No special journeys done ever to the shops! Then I'm out again, family member here has just found the last womble down the back of one of the bags and unfurled it to reveal they bought just two items:(. It can only get better from here....:rotfl::rotfl::)

All results due later as womble shops all done in the last hour or so.

I am very happy with the sada shop I did today - all of the fillers were items we actually needed plus a couple of things for youngest childs store cupbooard (except the deo and I only got this as the shop I was in did not seem to have Bombays.)
I over did it a bit yesterday and got a bigger voucher than I normally like to have but the girl today did not bat an eye lid at the slightly over large voucher I gave her. Very glad to get rid of this APG as that shop I used 4 gift cards with various amounts left on it, a coupon, 3 APGs and some cash so it looked a right mess
So I now have 4 shells and 2 cones so quite happy with this unless its still working tomorrow.
The store I was in had none of the fancy razors :mad: but it did have the right Aussie so I might have another go tommorow

hi fc,no when i went on fri morning they were not working,the staff were all having training on there.my fav cashier is going to be working on there so should be good.as well as finding bargains.:D.not sure i like the new layout they seem to have got rid of alot of the home stuff.
dm seems to have quite an interest in nail varnish.;)

Hi BQ, they were working on Friday evening. The first 2 shops are checked so that's my first one out of the way . I'm not liking the new layout either, but I expect we'll get used to it.

Went to the small As today on my hunt for the shades 9 pack and finally found some :j:j Razors in there but no aussie I'm not buying chocs but they did have the seashells in there. Haven't paid too much attention to triggers though so Im not sure if they had any.

Morning Elite, I won't say "good" Atrocious weather out there.

Well, DD is finally moving out, flat share with her boyfriend and another friend. It would appear that a portion of my stash is moving out with her, but there we go. Will be giving her a few bits that I have built up over the years for this purpose too.

I might have slightly more sympathy with financial matters if a £700 47 inch smart 3D TV was not top of their list :eek::eek:


Not really trying to help in tv quest ( mind you they will have no money to go out)
Friend of mine got a 50 inch 3d smart tv from amazon for £569a couple of weeks ago. He then phoned to order for a friend and price had dropped to £449. They refunded him the difference so well chuffed.
If they are determined on tv the amazon seems to be doing best deals. John lewis had £569 one at same price but 2 week wait for delivery.

Even the big purchases can be made more mse.

Waiting for A delivery (without code placed yesterday) another minute and they are officially late. Can I complain?

I did a couple of AvS shops today for Phileas Fogg and chucked in some Butchers dog food too since it's profitable :money:

I chucked it all into an SSPCA collection bin

But absolutely none of my shopping compared against Waities. I got this:

* Unfortunately your shopping can't be compared with Waitrose as the prices that have been collected are now over 7 days old. You can review our Terms & Conditions for more details. Also see our Questions & Answers section

Why wouldn't they be able to pick up Waitrose prices? :think:

My mission for next weekend is to figure out clicksnap!
