    I am confused (it does not take much).

    So if I buy a pk of 20 cheese and onion walkers crisps
    and a pk of 20 classic walkers this will be favourable?

    Yes. But not as favourable as Walkers and non-Walkers mix and match (using one item in the different 2 for £5 offers). If SEL goes along them all, suggesting 2 for £5 covers all brands, then the full prices charged instore. Should have paid 2 for £5 if that's what SEL suggests. So put back to 2 for £5, then £2 GC (=spend £3). Then APG. Then 21p back (perhaps) on msm cashback. Equals about a payment of minus £2.22 for two multipacks (including the 21p). As opposed to ending up paying £1.30 for each pack (I went the simpler route, threw in the towel even if I'm paying) - possibly 21p back on the Walkers 20 Classic (or the Meaty if that was what you bought with the C&O).

    That sounds great, even without the GC

    Is there any specific non walkers that we need to buy?

    The Walkers 20 pack of just the Cheese & Onion.

    (Although if you can mix and match with the McCoys (15 Variety) offer - the two are in a different 2 for £5 instore - but maybe your SELs are confusing? - that could work out much much better.)

    When I went to my store, I thought they'd ran out of the Cheese & Onion trigger (you wouldn't use that with a McCoys - it would be C&O and either Classic Variety OR Meaty Variety 20 Walkers). I started putting items back onto the shelves... and then I saw the 20 Cheese & Onion one, on the gondola. (I don't normally look at those, unless I'm looking for items to buy at the rival store:D.)

    So, it may not be in the aisles (or it may be). The trigger route, which is simpler, works - but ends up costing some money. Better if McCoys 15 & Walkers Classic/Meaty suggests it is in the same 2 for £5 instore - then pay £4.20+£4.19, and put back to £3 (including £2 GC amount) hopefully. McCoys show OOS for M on msm but have price of £2 - hopefully they will compare on APG to that - although (:eek:) perhaps they will come back with M at £4 odd price?:mad::mad::( Either way it works out better (if everything works instore).

    Now - less of that. My Golden Wonder, vs T. Is it the Variety pack or the 6 Salt & Vinegar one?;):)

    IIRC it was the variety you need as it shows as S&V on msn

    Xmas Saver!
    managed to get 67 pental pen sets. Put a few through the SS and then got the SA hovering so she put them through as a multiple item. Came up as 1p each so she said she had to check after watching me put my coins in. I was thinking 'Well I just bought them si nothing you can do anyway' but she came back and said it was fine. So I went and cleared the second shelf I had spotted for the rest of them. Thats how it should be done, even when checking she was really polite, nice to get a good SA for a change.

    Ahh bless ya tweets. School was not my favourite place either.
    Believe it or not but I was painfully shy at school, combine that with being really tall and really skinny, wearing Nhs glasses and having no chest whatsoever :o:rotfl: and it equals having the pee ripped outta me fairly often. :(

    Still I happen to be very content with my life
    So I really don't give a monkeys butt about it.

    I was shy one of tallest in class but wasn't skinny nor fat but having shortest hair didn't help mine wont grow long :(
    .
    Being spat upon and called names I wont divulge never have done only to my darling son :(

    Then if you told anyone even parents nothing was done. :mad:

    Hi. The 15 pack Variety McCoy (with EITHER Walkers 20 Classic Variety or 20 Meaty Variety) - shows £2 (albeit OOS) for Morries. All the other non-Walkers showing as non-comp.

    Hi SD, nice to see you posting, how is my favourite beast ?
    .

    The beast seems to be doing well, haven't seen either of my dogs in 3 weeks now. The beast is in kennels and the lurcher was lucky enough to be offered a bed with her bro and sis but the beast wasn't welcome :( but my mum done her best given the situation. Hopefully it won't be long before I feel better and they're home.

    Yes we saw a table having the big breakfast deal and a full round of waters :rotfl: But like you we were very happy to pay a reasonable price for the hot drinks with a small tip, just thought I could have even given them a box or two of the magnums :D

    I read that you also found some chocolates but not good about the robofish, that was one thing I was looking for but Mr T too wise :(
    lol i bet they'd have enjoyed a box of magnums ;)
    i know was so embarassing :( you'd think if it scanned on handheld scanner at 1p it would go through the till at the same price :( ds3 was so upset i couldn't get them for him bless him :(
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:
