W has 'interesting' pricing on Fairy Platinum All in One Dishwasher Tablets Lemon 20 pack - £8.60 for one pack or buy 2 for £8.00:rotfl: Thus the 30 pack at £9 in A anyone? Would appear that £8 (-10% as applicable) for 20x2 = 40 would be cheaper than the price of one 30 pack!

However, it's simple shopping these days!:rotfl: S £5.00 on the 30 pack and therefore Avs S would be cheaper. But...

We have the 40 pack at £7 in A but, apparently, according to msm:rotfl:, £6.49 for M. So, maybe that's cheaper?!? Who knows! Who can care to work out at 3am, even me? And all of it started from my curiosity with the pricing on the 20 pack for Mr W:rotfl::rotfl:.

HTH, somehow(!).

"Interesting" pricing too for Mr A on the Gilette Mach 3 Close & Smooth Shave Gel (200ml) that's called Close & Fresh on msm and illustrated by a picture of the can of Close & Fresh on there - they don't do bogo'f's in Mr A - says £3.00 or any 2 for £3.00. Sainsbobs at £2.50(:eek:), which is cheaper of course than A's price if you get a no-show on the other bit:D.

Also - completely separately - don't let ruddy Savvy confuse you again:rotfl::rotfl: - this:

Gillette Satin Care with Touch of Olay Sensitive Shave Gel (200ml)

I think this is £1.74 in Morries, although that's entirely from memory from Monday price collection day.

:rotfl:

So - maybe there's something else in the 2 for £3 offer?;) And how many on msm etc.?

Make of the information in my last three posts as what you will.

Goodnight and good morning!:j:rotfl::D:wave:

I'm really struggling to keep up at the moment so would appreciate a hand in spending a voucher for £12 off a £60 spend in Sainsburys (in store only by 5th May).

I also have just under £19 worth of Nectar points that can be doubled up and am not sure whether I can combine the two vouchers.

Are there any Sainsburys bargains around at the moment? :beer:

Trouble is, with 'bargains', you're going to be struggling far more to get £60 as the items are costing you less. Assuming you can find anything worthwhile. Might one cheekily suggest an expensive item of clothing that, oh dear, turns out not to fit. Meanwhile, the maximum BM you can get is £10 so that still leaves you paying £50 net to Sainsbobs to get £12 off (a £50 shop where you pay £60 and end up, all being well, with a £10 refund in your hand immediately after the transaction, treated like cash albeit cash you can only spend in Sainsbobs).

This £12 is quite a sizeable amount and equates to £6 off a £30 shop or £4 off a £20. As pure percentage - of course you can't choose to spend £20 and have £4 off. The ones I get for £12 off £60 are spat out virtually every time I go and are always, for me, for online shops (where you can't get any BM back:mad:) and as such I've never yet been attracted in by them. Plus I have no chance of spending anywhere near £60. It seems more to me for the muggles who do normal weekly shops:wall:.

I think, as aau1 suggested earlier, I/you need to reduce our spending in Sains. in order to get smaller spend vouchers (requiring us to spend much less) but a significant amount off. They go down to £3 off £20 shop (£20 is an ideal figure for me;)). I stupidly filled up with petrol to £40:eek: in one transaction before aau1 posted his advice - now all the coupons they give me require me to spend much more. And I ain't doing it, in order to overspend far more than I was going to buy in the first place simply for money off that's still more expensive than what I would ever have bought. So I'm sticking to £10 fills of petrol - if that - and waiting for the voucher spend values to come down. :doh:It'll probably be ages now if spent the £40 - and sure enough the next voucher was for a £40 instore spend and I think a measly couple of quid off.

Be a while sadly I feel before they go to when you spend £30 and then when, if I keep any store purchases to under £2, if they do, eventually go back down to 'when you spend £20' for me, I suspect it'll now be £2 off (due to my earlier spending way too much) rather than £3 off.

My first wys coupons were for £8 off £40, when the Sainsbobs near to me had just had a refit. That was quite good - it was a fifth off, which is exactly the same percentage as your £12 for £60. I'd never manage that much though and have never taken up such a voucher. They still pop out and repop out time and again even if I let the old ones expire.

I've no idea about Sainsbobs shopping at the moment - is the double up still on?!? I thought they were specific categories of items this time, like beauty and furnishings. Careful as I sometimes think they (like Mr T) inflate the prices of items in particular sections of the store when double up promotions on. I once bought (this can be forgiven as was way early on in my buying and had not got into APG/T PP let alone this thread then) some flowers in Mr T, because I had a double up CC voucher. The flowers cost £10:eek::eek:, and were the same type of flowers that could have been got elsewhere for a fiver. So, in effect, the double up to spend on certain categories (I chose flowers) was worth nothing.

But..that's an idea, using two double ups in same transaction. It's called stacking and I don't see why not. The idea I have from that is that certain sections are non-grocery items that aren;t covered by BMatch, so you could get a double up in, say, household furnishings, of £20 voucher, £20 of your spend could be on household furnishings, using the double up, and amounts to £20 of useful 'fillers' towards your £60, on which you could not get BM on the furnishings as excluded products. But maybe £20 of that, £20 of other non-BM covered items, and £20 of BM cover that's £10 cheaper in A. Or £10 cheaper in T.

It's late and best I can think is go through the Savvy Buys for Mr T on msm. And buy those in Sainsbobs. Or, as an alternative, do not mix them together, the Savvy buys for Mr A. That's the starting point, even though - ha ha - I wouldn't buy or match to many of those items myself these days!

HTH. If you can wait a few days (with advice of others possibly re. double up and its expiry dates), then I may be able to get an Svs T and separately an Svs A listing on here. It's long due. Although to be fair, what's really worth getting at straight Mr A prices?

I know others have had success (in varying degrees) with beauty products that are both in the double up and are BM items but it generally seems to me to be buying multiples of the same item. Other than that and outside double-up, Philadelphia 300g are £2.40 in Sains I think and £1 in A at the moment. Need to check a.com for A prices and t.com for T prices after having got comparison details from msm. As we know, msm is sometimes inaccurate or incomplete, or picks up something incorrectly, so, having sorted out your list with msm, you then strictly speaking should go to a.com (for SvsA) or t.com (if you chose Svs T) to double-check the items and prices (which may have changed upwards since your msm was updated) and also to examine the wording of the product names to see if any issue is likely to crop up there regarding the BM computer system not linking the items and thus returning N/A or any size/weight issues that aren't identified by msm.

That's the completeness way, as usual with me:rotfl::rotfl:.

Thanks - goodnight/morning!:)
