hth
not proven as I got loads when on offer at T

This is good.

What else to add to a t v s shop - nouvelle I suppose if you can find it.

The usual bottled water, banana, single veg as fillers ....

Anything else ????

At least you know where you went wrong... I still often scratch my head at things that work/don't work!

Thanks Sunshine mummy, but it has taken me 3 hours of head scratching to work it out!

Although do check this as it was posted last night and you should be checking sains.co.uk in any event.

Seems to be things like the Antiseptic Wipes things in 3s in T as S has them on 3 for 2 and the offer isn't compared on the APG. I'll try and sort out that 'dumped-on-here' list format as soon as I can.

:rotfl::rotfl:Serves them right:p - shouldn't have refused your coupon then should they?:D

Also, about time people in stores worked at our convenience rather than the other way round. Ooh, I'm getting my cage rattled a bit aren't I? Well, nice to back!:D Might go and get round to sorting out my list posts at some time or other.:rotfl::):rotfl::rotfl:

I was silently sniggering at checkout because SA was faffing about and had put some coupons through so guy had to find coupons and wasn't happy I only went because I had £8 off £30 shop so wont be going back in a hurry its out of my way. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good afternoon.

I've just popped in to say that Sainsbobs had some baby food reduced.

At Gr4v3s3nd store there were:
Plum Baby Organic - Pear, Blueberry and Purple Carrot £0.25
Plum Baby Organic - Broccoli & Apple £0.25

They both are 3 for 2 so just under 17p per pouch.

Obviously subject to availability but may be worth checking if shopping at S anyway?

HTH

Or may be worth checking out if shopping in T anyway, and buying in 3s on Tvs S if these are on sains.co.uk. It also has the benefit that, not only does it help reach cond.spends in T more easily and gives you a few pence of CC points more than the Nectars you'd lose, I think I'd also find that availability in T, of the ones that T normally stocks anyway, would be less of a problem!

It's always better to shop at the competitor (I'm not talking about whoopsies) - price reductions in S take Nectar pennies away from you and price reductions in T do likewise with CC points - so buy more expensively in S for more Nectars and more expensively in T for more CCs, and hope they compare back and then give points on the PP/BM spend itself.

Good morning all,

Here's my TvA shop from last night. I had quite a few coupons and vouchers to use including £4 off £40 spend. I took advantage of the 20% off 4 finest wines by getting 4 finest meal deals with 4 Garnacha and 3 mash. Sub-total £82.81, total to pay £42.90 after savings and £31.81 after coupons. 167 points earned and a PP for £10. I used a double points voucher but I'm not sure if that has worked, the coupon scanned and is on the receipt but my points were not doubled.

A really nice SA happily scanned my coupons and realised I'd got both the finest wine discount and meal deal discount and reckoned that I was clever and must get the Martin Lewis emails. I replied "wait until you see this" just as the £10 PP popped out, her reply was "I don't believe it".

I bet you say that to all the SA!

Someone made a house of fraser order earlier

I know this cos he used a gift card :T

He didn't tell me what he was buying whereas he did with everything else he bought online today

Me thinks Santa might be being very kind to me in 11 days :j

Well I really @rsed up my Mr T meal deal shop:eek:
2 mashed pots were in my 'muggle' shop, but SA said I had got everything for 4 meal deals in first shop?? No I hadn't!

Off to customer services with my 2 shops, receipts and 2 mash that hadn't gone through... well what a palaver :rotfl:
15 mins later they "voided off" all my meal deal items, but not the fillers, decided they had to get the mash with 'finest meal deal' on them (so lost the deal on those) but somehow ended up paying in total £22.22 for 4 meal deals, a bag of lemons, and 3x 10p sweets.. have £1.23 coupon...there was only 1 lasagne and no pies & I
bought the wrong s0dding wine!!
Still think I got a bargain:o
In other shop used moc for fairy liquid, for £2, they are currently 24£2 and an extra 20p to be had from quidco.

Give me another 6 months and I might get it right!:rotfl:

I got the creamy mash but the 3 for 2 didn't come off. CS said it wasn't part of 3 for 2 as it had Finest meal deal logo on it even though it's exactly the same product. If you bought the 'ordinary' Finest mash would the meal deal work or is there potential for DTD?
