    Yes the wine looks posh enough for a gift :j

    so a slightly smaller APG for the wine - can the Elite maths genius pleas say how this affects the real price?

    Used yesterdays Sanex APG to buy 2 x garden chairs. (Trying not to be too visible in my A's). Want to 'rinse and repeat' (Pun :o).

    Complained to T's HQ about their labeling on the fruit section, only to be told two different offers. :o 2 for £3 and 2 for £2.50. Could have sworn they were the same label in the store! Should have gone to Specsavers :eek: Anyway, they have given me a £10 gift card as I also bought some out of date beers, so not a complete waste of my credibility. Will be steering clear of that MrT for a while!!! (Unless they sell the Gu pots!).

    Have a good afternoon.

    Is this wine tasty? Do you think it would be ok when going to party's as a 'gift' ? Thank you x[/QUOTE]

    Bexter, the wine is quite light. For me, it's a bit bland but that's just personal taste. I like really dry wines and this one isn't. Its not unpleasant though. It would make nice gifts though as it's quite a fancy bottle. I'd say if you like wines like the blossom hill Rose, you'd like it. HTH

    So in theory then, certain T's in my area should accept the Morries meat voucher then?

    Not according to the T&C's.
    It's APG's, Brand Match vouchers and conditional spends.
    Not coupons for specific products such as 50p off A's apples

    All Bristol stores!


    About time something got trialled here for them...I'd be their perfect guinea pig :rotfl:


    Not sure where "Bristol 2" or Bristol Homeplus are...there are two homeplus stores in Bristol

    ETA Bristol homeplus is on Scamps stomping ground, I cant figure out which one "Bristol 2" is. If any locals can shed any light on it, please do so :D

    Looking at the T&Cs, I wouldn't use any minimum spend coupons at all, but would just use straight APG/BMs and pay for the shop with them outright, or at least paying any amount in real money as little as possible over the £10. Remember you can print off APG vouchers more than once, if T wishes to accept an otherwise worthless piece of paper that's up to them, the second print of the voucher can then go, with the original receipt, to be marked, to A. As I see it, nowhere is losing out compared to what it should give you (only ever redeem the same voucher once in A) and if T want to apply their policy and accept a copy, that's up to them.

    I don't think any cond. spends would help - as even if it was £3 off a £20, and with a limit of £10, that would still leave you paying them £7 cash or card, and any amount over £0 is really too much for me:rotfl: unless your SA accepts more than £10 in vouchers. The exception would be if you had a money card, from something that they compensated you for, so that you could pay £10 in APG/BM, £7 off the money card and £3 cond spend off £20 (assuming the cond.spend does not count to the £10 - if it does, then £10 APG/BM and £10 moneycard (not having used your own money for that card ever - I don't understand these people that save money onto store cards. Or, rather, waste it, gaining no interest, on there)).

    Otherwise, it seems limited to £10 shopping - which is fine by me - as I don't ever want to give them any real cash or debit card payment and possibly convert the £10 of APGs into a £5 PP. Then...are we able to use £10 APGs + £5 PP on a £15 shop to get a £7.50 PP maybe? Either way, I'm sure they'd stuff me at some point as they always seem to try to with me.

    Sainbobs down the road is still 1p/litre more expensive petrol than the Sainbobs a mile away, due to that one having competitor stores nearer by. A is usually 0.2p a litre cheaper (on pump prices, though Nectar point collection outweighs that) than the S nearby. If A increases its price by 1p a litre, I've noticed that the Sains. that was 1.2p more expensive then... it cannot possibly remain on now 0.2p more expensive (with the other 0.8p cheaper) - they always increase their prices by 1p a litre soon sharply enough, so they're always more expensive. Cynical.

    I'm no aau1, but I think you pay £10 for 2, apg for £12 v £6.40 = £6.24, so £1.88 per bottle.:D

    Not keen on Rose personally, so haven't tried it. Could be awful :eek: Putting it away for Xmas gifts for colleagues, and some for DD who is returning to the nest in September.
