    Thanks to everyone for Flash and shower gel info over the last week. Stash of Flash is now sorted and found three SG's yesterday so very pleased! I rinsed and recycled my online APG's and think I've messed up but just wanted to check.

    I had £30 worth and spent them all on a Flash shop + fillers that I needed. However, I just realised my collected shop came to less than £30. My collection receipt showed a total of -£11.93.

    Can I assume that those APG vouchers are lost forever? I was holding a small hope that maybe they get bounced back to me. If they don't then I'm not going to chase them up with A but write it up to experience

    TIA

    I'm afraid your assumption is correct :( unless you ring them and bring it to their attention (not recommending that by the way!)

    Like you, I would write it up to experience :)

    Great idea ilts - my 9th item is always a flump, I have a fab fingers tin to keep them in and it's the first place the grandchildren look when they call in after school.

    I remember putting the shopping on the belt and my flump had gone missing from the trolley - had a little panic until that APG came through :rotfl:

    I had a little panic moment the other day when I checked an old apg for a sweet and it wasn't showing on there and I had just done a shop using that sweet and cut it very close as they had limited sweets and I couldn't remember what shops compared to what so I sat up to wait and check apg and it showed up ( phew) then I remembered the reason it wasn't showing was cause I actually hadn't bought it the day before :o I get all flustered when doing shops that's why I started putting it in the bags :)

    This is a post for people who are not bored of talking about biscuits yet.

    If like me, you want to get in and out as quickly as possible, don't want to think about fillers and want a great return, this is the shop for you. Pay £3.50 at the till and it returns £3.13 every time. Just buy two different Marylands, any box of Medleys, either trigger and 5 x 10p sweets.

    I know the sweets are not the ideal filler but they save a lot of faffing around and you still get your biccies for 9p per pack (after taking the cost of the sweets into account)..:D

    1 x Maryland Big & Chunky Milk & Dark Chocolate Chunk ... £1.99 £0.99
    1 x Maryland Big & Chunky White Choc Chunk Brownie Coo... £1.99 £1.00

    1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Strawberry Stripes £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Sour Stripes (15g) £0.10 £0.10
    1 x McVitie's Medley Hobnobs Double Chocolate (6x30g) £1.80 £1.00
    1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar £0.10 N/A
    1 x Candyland Flumps Mallow Twists (12g) £0.10 £0.10
    1 x Haribo Tangfastics £0.10 £0.10

    If you want an even better return, add a pack of Penguins for an extra 10p or so (although I'm not sure about mint flavour).

    I'm really surprised no ones mentioned the biscuit game ;)

    Morning all :whistle:

    Do you do it on it's own or with apples?



    When I do chutney I just take my tomato chutney recipe and leave out half of the tomato's and replace with the beetroot/apricot or whatever type of chutney it's destined to be it has onions, vinegar, sugar, tomato's, apples, sultanas, salt and pickling spice:)

    Good lol . Well it wouldn t fit me even if I wanted one lol. I don't think I ve ever been a size 8. I bought a pack of 3 soft bra s with the padding in that can be take out for £4 odd. Different colours, similar to those in the £1 shops but thicker with some lace at the top. Much better quality though :D

    Hi scab :D

    I did this exact shop the other day... To make things easier and to stop the bloody sweets falling out I now go to veg aisle and pick up the little plastic bags and put all my fillers in them as then I'm not stood at the checkout counting and rechecking :)

    That's what I do when I buy the salad and fruit stuff in Morrissons. Cram as much as possible in then squeezed down the lid and put in a bag so it doesn t pop open. Greedy Susie:D mind you I buy the smallest one and it's not exactly cheap.

    I have only ever done a few but I go for £25 using the price you will be charged at the till

    Thanks David - thats what I've been doing. But I noticed a couple of posted CC shops that would have been under £25 after the glitch kicked in - they could have paid the fee though, you can't tell from the shop.
