    We go through at least 2 bottles of squash a week, I don't drink tea or coffee, don't like it. I keep saying that when i grow up i'll drink it, so maybe one day? :rotfl:I keep our spare bottles under my sons bed, along with dishwasher tablets and tomato ketchup.:rotfl:
    I wasn't around for the free fizzy.:eek:
    I keep forgetting about the 3v cards, we buy our dog food from Amazon, so would be good for us. Didn't see any £2 gammon.:(
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    i've not seen the 3V cards in our t's before but today there were 3 on the gift card stand so got 2 :) worth keeping a look out when you pop in to t's though especially when you can use the £5 HH with 2 cards :T
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    Hi there - I'm popping into da house!!

    At last, I've had a run of picking up the right wombles!!:) Thanks for the sausage rolls tip last night - they are very large packs and I knew the Elite would come up trumps with these - as it was no good trying to compare vs M's quite dear special offers (outside of weight limit by 4g and returned N/A) months back or buying expensive 'r'back' S/price ones that just got back to the price of two years ago (since which they have been too high priced everywhere). I'm glad you've found me a real good deal on saus.rolls:T.

    I don't know why I arrived so late knowing that it was a Wednesday evening - I really should have got here yesterday earlier:o:o - but it was a good move to go and do some overnight shopping! I picked up a receipt from the evening and they bought some expensive whisky!:):):rotfl::T:T:T One I've had my eyes on, wishing they would buy for a few weeks I think. And, finally, they have!!:):T:T At last!:D:T

    This works out best vs Sainsbobs
    1 x Whyte & Mackay Special Blended Scotch Whisky (1L)£21.50£15.00

    Unfortunately they bought some £4 Fairy product with it:mad::
    Avs S
    1 x Fairy Platinum All in One Dishwasher Tablets Lemon...£4.00£8.00 (Morries £3.75 - see below)

    In fact quite a number of the non-whisky purchases on their shopping turn out to be shockingly bad. After that eight pounds contribution from the whisky to the APG (including the 10%), their shopping vs Sains. was just 37 pence cheaper for Sains.:(:(. They managed nearly completely to wipe out the £6.50 saving, £4.00 by that Fairy:( and obviously much of the rest by everything else that compared. Instead I had to settle for the Morries comp. coming up trumps and comparing £21.50vs £17:eek: on the Whisky instead of £15. Wait for it - there's a trigger on this particular Hartley Jelly offer too - they got 5 for £3. I'll just have a look at where the appearing Jellies compare best to.

    Morries came out minus £3.01!!:j:j

    Yes, they did buy that 8 can pack of Sprite Zero at £3.55!:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: On 2 for £5 in A, so a massive overpayment for a single pack just getting one. Shows N/A vs everywhere else on msm.co.uk - but look it compares vs Morries!:rotfl:

    Got a voucher, but spent ages trying to sort out my printer. Somehow it has flipped to another tray, which I never use, and refuses to go back to original one, so I've been trying to get it to take the paper for some time:(.

    Funnily enough....I've just had this conversation with mr TM:)


    Yes I am now at the point where I am saturated :rotfl:
    However I have PP's from the cat food glitch, e vouchers on A c and c, over £50 in wombles and now the possibility, with the nectar double up, of free stuff from S over the next few weeks. Greenredeem vouchers sat in my purse.
    Freezers, store cupboard and stashes overflowing with much off loaded to foodbanks too:T

    I have come to the conclusion that I need to diversify out of food and start looking at the non food sections in A and T....hmmmm now what do I need:)

    When was this? I used a conditional spend towards booze on sunday

    This was on the 8th April. But what booze did you buy? they don't seem to be including beer and wine, just spirits. Obviously because of the alcohol content. You'd have to be practically giving beer away for it to flout the new rules.
    If you have any cond spends lying around from after 6th April have a look on them. Mine had an exclusion printed on the front in tiny writing. They hadn't changed the small print on the back or on their website

    ETA Actually as you are north of the border, the new legislation here doesn't affect you. I guess if you bought spirits then Sains is leaving the policy alone up there as they must already be complying with the Scottish legislation?

    It's one of these two that is the Hartley trigger:

    5000354, either 16313 or 16314. And missing digit at end of course.

    Anyone - which one of those two is not on my comp.? TIA.

    (Unfortunately, prices are pretty rubbish elsewhere. But one to keep track of, for later.)

    Right, I think that's me done for the afternoon, I'll catch up with any replies made in the meantime and see you later!!:beer:

    For some reason the APG is still relying on a twice weekly manual collect of prices from M - I am not sure why they haven't switched to Ms online yet (perhaps not rolled out far enough yet for them to be able to do their regional comparison thing?).

    Because their agents do instore price collections for Morries and don't identify every possible combination as being the same M mbuy offer. I really wish M would go back on 30-odd p each offer, would be much better and more likely to compare, rather than the whole lot failing and returning full price because possibly one, maybe more, haven't picked up the mbuy with the mix with the others for M. Even if you get nine of one but one of another, if just that one different one failed to identify the mbuy with the one you bought 9 of, the whole M offer fails:(:(.

    Okay..see you later!:wave::wave:
