    Only if you knew to do it correctly. It shouldn't be necessary for us to have to have to resort to these sorts of shenanigans, but it is. And especially regarding T. The stores rely on people not buying in the most efficient way - most people just fill up to the top each time:( - whilst still getting the benefit of the promotion appearing to be much better than it is. These 'fuel deals' are popular - and precisely the worst normally money-wasting (the Whiskas bowl was the exception) things for us to take up from our point of view. They always require spending more on groceries than you would ever get deducted from the fuel. So avoid, IMO.

    I notice that, last time I was in T, they have now added a bit to the till receipts about the promotion, namely that you can only collect for the next month or whatever it now says. (Maybe to be seen as an implied admission that the promotion was misleading by omission before?:think:)

    What a bad set of wombles, for me. Not a total nil return, but near enough. Oh well - yesterday's were quite good. Goodnight - for now - folks:wave:.

    I like these cryptic messages, in these contexts:).:T

    Stuffed big boy gone!

    I think it means "stuffed big boy. Gone before I managed to take a pic.";):rotfl:.

    Or...maybe "sorry - stuffed. Big boy gone before I managed..." etc.:rotfl::rotfl::question:
