Please can I ask what Campbells we are supposed to be buying? I thought I needed to do another print run but I found more today in my folder.
lve had a look at MSL and I can see various pasta and sauce and rice and cupa soups for 50p which makes them 30p after the MOC so good fillers for choc shops and glitch shops, store cupboard items or suitable for food banks Also makes them less than the cost of value products with some items.
Some of the condensed soup is 2 for £1.50 Asda matching Tesco which is Ok but I am sure Ive seen it cheaper. Then the ready to service soup is 89p but I was getting some in Tesco for 47p.

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.
