I ordered it fom direct as my son had saved for it but I was supposed to get the at-at not the at-te (confused) anyway I took it back to store and it scanned in at £20 , lucky I had my direct order so he refunded me,I asked how come it was prices different and he said..oh it must of gone in the sale so I asked if I could buy it back and he said yes

Thanks for this, DS loves these but I refuse to spend loads on them so will have to keep my eye out for this one.

I dont see why not as its a straight comparison but I wouldnt like to say for certain. The only thing is to echo what savvy said in that it should work today but gets riskier as the day progresses.:)
I'm trying hard to resist going for more!

Just a final add: if aau1 were here, I think he might be criticising my needless worry about later today being risky for Avs M old price collection data. I do err sometimes too much on the side of caution, as not wanting it to not work.

This may help. (Or not.)

APG T&Cs, under How you qualify for APG.
"4. Prices are updated on the ASDA Price Guarantee by 12pm each day (except in the case of Morrisons prices, which will normally be updated twice a week on a Wednesday and a Friday – see condition 17.2 below). If you perform a Check prior to 12pm, prices may not have been updated on the ASDA Price Guarantee yet. In exceptional circumstances prices may be updated after 12pm. In this scenario prices reflected on your Check will be the prices of the previous day."

There is no condition numbered 17.2:rotfl:. Although it says "on a Wednesday" I think they mean "by Wednesday" - I think we've seen before prices updating to new M prices at some point on Tuesdays? I don't know on that, about when the details change but others, womblers who check receipts during weekdays such as Savvy Sal might be able to know more from their experience about when these sorts of things happen.

We are relying on, and want, the old details (which were collected last Wednesday) on the Pepsi regular, Quaker Oats and also the Spam (in 2s) for Morries price offer on that (which ran in M until yesterday). The fact the APG T&Cs say Morries prices "may be up to 7 days old" I think gives us some comfort? (Collected last Wednesday - up to 7 days old?) That's actually in condition no. 16.2 (maybe they mean that?:think:).

I don't want new price collection info. before we've had chance to get all the above stuff. Although I also can hardly wait to see anything that might come on new - who knows what they might mess up in the collection they're doing today?:D (Or, better, the one in a couple of days time, as that will run all weekend.)

Not for everyone.

Deposit £10 and get £30 cashback.

Remember cashback isn't guaranteed.

That really makes me chuckle about cash back sites. It's like "look at this really good deal, we'll give you loads of money if you sign up to this, but we might not, but do it anyway and we'll see what happens" :rotfl:

Still haven't caught up! I have a day off today (and after our epically long day yesterday it's much appreciated!) but I just wanted to say that when I first joined this thread I had a bit of grief and insults aimed at me that weren't very nice. The elite had my back and I had so many lovely messages of support.

Also, I can't speak to any FB groups that do or don't exist but thanks to several amazing elite members, I've raised £186 for the Red Cross. You're all bloody fantastic people and don't you forget it.

I would not risk it :eek:

Bacillus cereus is a Gram-positive aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, motile, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that is widely distributed environmentally. While B. cereus is associated mainly with food poisoning, it is being increasingly reported to be a cause of serious and potentially fatal non-gastrointestinal-tract infections. The pathogenicity of B. cereus, whether intestinal or nonintestinal, is intimately associated with the production of tissue-destructive exoenzymes.

Although rare; it can be lethal.

How does reheated rice cause food poisoning?

Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning. When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive.

If the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into
bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that
cause vomiting or diarrhoea.



The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is
that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice unsafe to eat.

Symptoms of food poisoning
If you eat rice that contains Bacillus cereus bacteria you may sick and
experience vomiting or diarrhoea about 1-5 hours afterwards. Symptoms are
relatively mild and usually last about 24 hours.
