    It's 'good fun' in a way - anyone normal wouldn't be looking at all this stuff when they go shopping:rotfl::rotfl:. They'd just paid (overpay) what they'd paid!:eek:

    there should be some good wombles to be had with these 4 for £5 offers as i'm sure there must be some other items that work as well as salad cream :)

    Totally agree DeeDee, they are bloody minging :eek:

    They're covered in Cadbury chocolate, how bad can they be? :eek: I'm sure I will like them as I like anything Cadbury make :o I'll find out soon enough as I just bought 2 packs :D

    Take 'em back. Technically it invalidates the entire APG from that shop, but my approach is it's up to a future SA as to whether or not to accept it. That's your 'risk' - the decision is yours, aware of the knowledge. I have no real difficulty getting APGs redeemed but I do get a bit more hairy when receipts have a crossed-out item on them.

    [Edit: I don't know the right way to do this:o - perhaps redeem the APG first then return the items, well, if they were N/A they didn't affect the comparison did they?:p Maybe CS person will let you "just this once":D. Or maybe the correct way is to get the items returned and refunded first, as the SA who subsequently may take an APG is less likely to be knowledgeable than a CS desk that sees an APG having been used - that's if the SA you had marked the receipt when the APG from it was redeemed in the first place:D. Others views on this, as I tend to do theory rather than practice:o:o.]

    I've always gone to CS first then redeemed APG with items crossed off the receipt. No SA has ever mentioned the crossed out items to me, hth :)

    With all the deals I've been seeing for coffee, and the fact that I love coffee, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a cheap Tassimo coffee machine.
    Thanks :)

    A wasted trip to A. Tigercub really unwell so had to abandon - no s/w and wifi not working in store so I couldn't check AvM for a weetabix shop :(

    However, DeeDee, I scanned the surf tabs x 30 for you and they came up as £7.70
