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.

Amazingly there were still quite a large pile of Suns left in my M - this even at quarter to five and I think one guy, the one in front of me, bought fruit and veg. as part of his shop (included other items) but not £5 and paid with three £10 notes:eek: and didn't use a Sun voucher.:eek::eek:

I suspect - I don't know if anyone's enquired of their SA to try to find out - a lot more people are using them as part of their larger shop, rather than sticking to just £5 of fruit/veg. as (I hope:D) we all are.

Out of the till popped a £1.50 off £20 voucher. Another chance to get new shoppers to shop there once again, especially after being 'given' the fiver off. ('Given' for 40p, so not true giving as still a cost, but quite nice in any event anyway. (Bought rather than 'given':rotfl:).) As that £1.50 is even less than Sainsbob were offering me, and requiring a greater spend than S. when they last went to that (£15 with them, and that too high for that low amount:rotfl:;)), absolute no chance. "Only one coupon may be used per transaction." That sealed it for me - I've shredded it into the bin.

What Savvy, what are you expecting - do you expect free shopping or something?:eek:

Yes:p:p:rotfl::rotfl:. Not having ridiculous £20 spends. Would rather just have £5 of fruit/veg (albeit less of it now:() for 40p.:)

1 x ASDA Wild Pacific Red Salmon (105g) £1.68 £1.15


A v M womble today

Pacific Pink 213g should go vs M at £1.00.

I know people say they only like red:wall::wall:, and if so there's your 105g of use to you!:T But I'd rather go for much more Pink at a cheaper price that meets my 'guide' price level on these:rotfl:.

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.

I wonder if they Sun newspaper would be happy about M not selling their newspapers to customers who want to buy them. Aren't they trying to attract customers, not turn them away. One per customer would be ok with something exclusively M, but its a national newspaper. How very odd.

I wouldn't have thought The Sun give two hoots about that. After all M will probably sell all the papers regardless. By M restricting sales to one per person, they'd probably reach more people overall which is exactly what they want.

I thought it said it was free if you spent £25. Otherwise it costs £1

I'm sure something will compare well to bump up to £25.

And they'll have updated again today. Either to the correct price, revert to previous price or go n/a. All depends on the price collection team and the sels that were out yesterday

Have you had any results to confirm the comparison is right or are you assuming?

Apparently the APG collectors collected in Morries in Letchworth, Wrexham and Stewartfield yesterday (that according to small print in a Mr A advert on page 20 of today's Sun).

That ad tells us, by implication, that some of the Kingsmill 50/50 bread is Tvs A and Sains vs A:rotfl:. Although pretty expensive price for bread even on A's price in my view. And who would ever want to buy the 84p Nectarines pictured on page 30 - or indeed any of the products pictured across pages 30 and 31? Even the 47p expensive Sweetcorn (frozen Birds Eye worked out better on Avs M in 2s with glitch, may still be ongoing) works out cheaper at 99p in M with Sun voucher.

Other adverts in the paper probably having the reverse of their intended effect:D - "Love it cheaper at M" on page 4. Gordon's, Smirnoff, Famous Grouse and Captain Morgan 70cl at £12 for M. A £15.50 on them, except for the Grouse at £13. So - buy in A, in theory, for £1.20 off M's price. In theory on that though as it's vs M and therefore risky! These are the very items I want them to buy on wombles. Although a little less so the Famous Grouse:rotfl:. No idea if £12 is any good price on these at all though?

Aldi advertising products including "Fun"size apples (my quotation marks;)) but not buying any of those in Aldi, would get in M instead!

Sainsbobs, on page 12, telling us "Yes, really." S at £4 and T at £7.50 on some Ariel Actilift Gel. Would seem therefore a 'good' item to buy in T on a PP shop vs S:rotfl:. Better as extra CC points by spending £7.50 and then, hopefully respend of PP amount assuming T don't diddle you, and easier in getting to cond.spend amounts in T. (I suspect this Actilift gel might be Avs S though? A fact not mentioned in the Sainsbob advert:rotfl:.)

And Mr T telling us about "Summer savings" on page 24 (today's Sun). Most of which don't seem very good to me. £12 for 10x440ml alcohol - is quite a lot above my £10 price on those to compare to. 7UP 2L at £1 - way too expensive. Kettle chips is a good one - from their POV IMO. £2:eek: each. That is for a 225g pack. That's way more costly than £1 for 150g. So what a poor deal there:( in my view. I can't see how that gives any "saving" at all.

Lidl telling us about some Cherry Tomatoes and Celery, which I'd be getting (M's versions of) in M.

Is T telling us anything more later in the paper?:think: In any event, whatever they promote almost always tells us to shop at Mr A for (or S if a branded product not available in A etc.):rotfl: So, yet more advertisements, every one of them for a competitor of whichever place placed the advertising:rotfl:.

Apart from the £5 fruit and veg. voucher itself perhaps. Which I wonder about now. Remember, last time it appeared in an advertisment placed by Mr M itself didn't it? This time, though, as well as the "For every reader" potentially in breach of advertising rules on front-page flashes (there's only one voucher per paper and yet multiple readers of some copies of papers quite likely), it's not marked, on page 18, as to whether that material is editorial or is paid-for advertising at all. So, yet another rule, about paid-for advertising being readily identifiable, it appears possibly to be in breach. Is this a promotion being run by the Sun? Or is it paid-for advertising by M? Not that I'm complaining:D:rotfl::rotfl:.

I am not sure if your order sheet would count as a receipt but it might be worth having a look at the try me Free section

I got the 28 box of Persil tabs today to bump up my £20 instore shop and these are £10
