The petrol,station was the only place I could find Suns so I took 5 in and the girls said I could only have 1 so I left them on the counter

I finally found them in a Londis on an estate - loads of them and no restrictions so at least I've spent my money in a local shop.

I bought mine in a T express that is just down the road. Contributed to fuelsave and i got green CCs too. V jealous of everyone with mailing mocs

But not everywhere is allowing multiple shops!
Thing is, mine said come back again as the offer's on for a few days. I fail to see how that's different to me doing three transactions with three people on the same day!

I guess they are hoping people will be put off and not 'take advantage'. But as someone (Savvy perhaps) said, there are a limited amount of papers printed so they would know the maximum loss they would make. The only slightly unfair bit is that I would be getting someone else's alloted amount but not everyone will use it, or care.

There's nothing unfair about them only permitting one, after all the idea is to entice as many new customers into the store as possible, browse a few products, buy a few other products, like what they see and get hooked and want to come back. Footfall is what they want, not P1ss takers :rotfl: Some you win, some you lose.
It's really not designed for the same people to keep returning is it. I saw posts earlier about people telling others to stick to the T&Cs and only use on F&V, yet those same people are probably breaking the T&Cs by exceeding the 1 per customer rule
As for 30-40-50 visits.....that's what I call really taking the P!ss.

Tell me about cars, they are a pain in the neck:(. In fact, don't tell me at all: I mean the opposite of what I say there.

So, instead of paying 84p for a punnet of Nectarines (like one of my wombles did yesterday), we paid 83p (a penny LESS) for:

A punnet of Nectarines
An additional punnet of Nectarines:D
2 Broccolis
1 Plum Punnet (400g)
2 Sweetheart Cabbages
A pack of Broad Beans (500g)
An iceberg lettuce
2 packs of 400g Strawberries
A pack of oranges
1 Whole cucumber
And a loose banana

:D:D

Another member of the family bought there as it was convenient to do it all in one visit.

If they are trying to get us to try their range of fruit and veg. though, it may be a bit unintended effect as just showed me how little you can get with the Sun voucher now. Yet more dissatisfaction in M. First the loose broccoli wasn't available in this store so had to settle for 49p ones.

Then - I think the BP"B"V oranges packs are shrinking too. I found some, with a longer date, with only 6 oranges (meanies:() in them. So much for being "Bigger Pack Better Value". I was completely right and justified there to put the second "B" in quotation marks since some time ago, as the "Better" value is their claiming (and I disbelieve everyone about everything they ever say and don't trust any of it at all). In retrospect, perhaps I should have put the first "B" in quotation too:(. I am not happy with "Bigger Pack Better Value" oranges if they are going to fewer oranges. If they are shrinking from 7 to 6 oranges:(, they are certainly not "Bigger" packs at all and instead, in my view, it is likely to mislead. More unhappiness:rotfl:.

I also found the Pink Lady apples packs, some of which I was planning on getting, appear to have gone up in price from 99p to £2.14:eek::(. So, indeed, we need far more Sun vouchers now to get what we had before. £2.14 is completely ridiculous IMO and would consume a sizeable chunk of a Sun voucher:(. Also, the Braeburn apples packs (that are still 99p but not as fond of Braeburns) - they appear to be reducing in size too. I found some with just five apples in them:(. Some had six, but newer ones maybe have five. They were 7, now 6, now it seems 5. Yet more price increases per apple.

Very unhappy with it, and this is now a rant(:rotfl:):p.

The Nectarines punnets appear to have fewer Nectarines than several months ago, the other apples and pears pack appear to have less in them as well, in fact I think the whole lot is some downsizing trick by Mr M:(:(.

In fact we managed only five apples/pears packs before reaching the £5 (mixing and matching and not sticking to all "Savers"). Last time I remember the Galas were on 3 for £2, so you could get more than that number and still have some of the voucher to spare. The carrots and parsnips packs, as well as the Swede, (now 69p) have previously been on offers that have made them 50p each - but now 19p:eek: more for each pack. It makes one of each now £2.07 instead of £1.50, so equivalent to another Broccoli or Lettuce being lost from the voucher.:(:(

Although that said, I suppose 83p for that lot isn't that bad:rotfl:. I like this £5 voucher, it's very easy to use as well as, if you aren't yet at the £5 (though with their price increases that is less likely:rotfl:), you can keep adding one loose banana until you reach the amount. Very good. And at least, this time, after the experience gained last time, I went over the £5 by less than I did before:T. About 8p over on one last time, now 3p (wish my banana were a bit smaller:rotfl::rotfl:), at last I remembered to take my calculator this time:eek::rotfl::rotfl:.

Hi all, I have been lurking for a while but have done a c&c this morning on candles, they were subbed but the woman on the van made me laugh, she asked me if they were on offer or something as she had had lots of people with them! I think one of you may have been in front of me as I saw subs get explained and then she got her shopping but for a c&c there was very little there! Little red car in portack just before 10am.

Going to A now to pick up next order and going to try out a different trigger for hair stuff so wish me luck and I will report back later but I think the touchably full volume shampoo could be a trigger, the conditioner is showing but the shampoo isn't for me anyway x

Are you trying multiple shops one after the other with the same member of staff or do you have an extra vigilant supervisor? How else are they preventing multiple shops please? I do one shop at a time, sometimes using bag for life then straight round again and back to a different till. Unless they were watching every checkout you should be able to get a few shops complete before your profile is raised?

Thanks. It was because I tried using the kids as customers.

I am really noticable so doubt I can get away with multiple in and out shops. (I have 4 kids in tow, 6,4,1 and 6 weeks - we make lots of noise and take up lots of room. They walk slowly too and talk to everyone! No chance of a quick, in and out.) :rotfl::rotfl:

Aau posted earlier about it being said it was ok for kids to be customers and someone had a 4yr old and 2yr old accepted but my eldest two were declined as too young and I was really the customer.

Will be trying again in a couple of Ms, will just try in and out shopping though. Will wait til store is heaving so I'll blend in better. :rotfl:
