    Happy Friday Elite.
    I need to colour my hair this weekend and have been browsing sada and I have noticed that
    Garnier Olia Permanent Hair Colour is £7 for 1 in sada but £6 in tosco and buy 2 get one free is there a way to get an apg on this?

    Thank you :)

    Would it not be possible to buy 3 in sada and hope they compare at £21 v£12 giving back £9.90 including the 10%

    Abviously assuming they actually compare

    I saw that, but I really didn't fancy walking up the High St dressed up. Then my 02 priority moments had a free coffee in Nero, so I was saved the embarrassment.

    'tis the season :rotfl:

    If it did work APG would have given back £10.20 making spend, £10.80

    But it won't work :(

    I made a complaint today to McCain about their chips, and got a reply within a couple of hours. They attached a link to £5 worth of coupons, they are 'safe coupons', and I was able to print twice, so now have £10 of coupons :)

    This is the first time I've come across this, I hoped they would send some coupons by post, but this is better!

    Ive just been using the 'contact us' form on their web page. I've been sending them messages saying I have already waited a month, I have no use for the cards now and I'd like a refund please. Takes about 2 days for them to email back saying they're processing the refund. Ive did a seperate one for each order, leaving a few days between each. I only have 1 to do now

    Final score in the LYB league :o

    Guess what arrived this afternoon. :eek:

    Now I have 12 of them to use. :o

    APG can't cope with a competitors "Buy X get Y free" deal if the items are priced differently in the competitor. The APG can't accurately decide which item to give free so everything comes up as N/A

    Even if you buy 3 things that are priced the same it doesn't matter because the offer is completely excluded so long as items on offer are priced differently

    All I did here was search for the garnier product in T, click on the 3 for 2" banner and noticed that some things are not £6, therefore teh whole deal will be excluded from APG


    eg the Doritos 2 for 1 deal in T is being recognised because all items are priced the same

    I suspect they are about to get a flurry of complaints :rotfl:
