    Wonder if aau1 is around, or lurking?:D

    I haven't shopped in Sainsbobs for a while. But last time I went their fuel station, only a few days ago, it spat out 4 coupons for me:D!!

    I've got a £3 off £20 but it expires tonight (has already expired in effect as stores are closed) but I had nothing to get, wasn't going to spend, and not having them rushing me with a short-dated coupon like that. So, no problem, sure they'll give me another one next time as I've not taken this one up!

    I have:
    A double points coupon off fuel (yes I know, a few pence)
    A double points off my next shop

    Both expiring next week. (The fourth coupon is irrelevant here;).)

    Now - is the idea that I go into the fuel station first tomorrow or I go the store first and then the fuel station?

    Potatoes don't appear to be on offer anywhere. Mr A is out of S/P 2.5kg potatoes - doesn't appear to stock them anymore:(. Mr M no longer seems to have the 1.5kg baking potatoes. I only need some spuds, so I've fallen back on Basics 4kg.

    So, if I go and get my Basics Spuds tomorrow (would have gone tonight, but cooked something else instead and didn't want to go whilst £3 off coupon still valid:D), do I go to the store and get my spuds (and use the double coupon FWIW) for another £3 off £20 to come out or do I need to use the fuel station first, fill up with under £10 and use double points, to get the new wys coupon? Any thoughts?

    I've gone for the Dove tonight. Wasn't too convinced as they have £2 on msm now? Showing £3.25 for T? Was T OOS when I went out but now T showing back in stock.

    First store I tried - I went out and thought 'simple, it's Dove Pure I want'. When I was in the store though, I wasn't sure which one the Dove was, as they have Control, Fresh and another one, not Pure, in the store. So I half about to risk it - shall I risk one, shall I go back home and check? (Turned out I was looking at the wrong products.) I was also going for the Kingsmill - and found the store had no Kingsmill crumpets!!:mad: None at all on the shelving in their normal place - can you believe that?:huh: I managed to find just one pack left, but I was thwarted by them as it was a whoopsie at 37p:(:(. No, thank you - I do not want to pay 37p and for the reduced item not to be covered by the APG:(:(. I would rather pay full price as that is cheaper. So all of what I'd put in my trolley went back to the shelves and I came... all the way back home:(:(. I decided best to learn the Dove glitch beforehand;):cool:.

    Lol - it turned out I had picked up the wrong Men & Care (250ml) to go with it, as I found when I got them in my eventual store. The compressed pure is actually a different one as well - don't think it says 'compressed' in the title of it on msm but does mention it in the full description?
