They didn't ask for one at first, but when I went in a few days ago they wanted the receipt and were checking dates & transaction numbers and writing TESC* on it. I asked why and they said it was to stop people reprinting and using them again & again?
This is such a good deal being able to use APGS & other coupons in Mr T's but I guess some people are taking the p and using the same APG again and again? Bit daft when it is so easy to generate a new one in A's?



Will PM you x

So they are trying to stop people using the same one in T multiple times

They are not (and cannot) stop you using it in A

Unfortunately there are always gonna be people that have to take it too far As you say, so easy to generate another one in A's. We all have our own lines and morals I guess. I've never used the same apg more than once in T's. (or A's for that matter!) Wouldn't be difficult for them to spot. Plus where I am isn't particularly big and you'd easily be recognised using loads. Just not worth it imho. Plus I'd like for it to continue!

My inlaws have twice been on holiday and left their front door open. You'd think the post man might have had the sense to close it after a day or two, but no! Luckily they live in a fairly quiet village and got away with it!

You can't blame them :cool: the question is, how would As react to a receipt marked with that on? Ive had trouble trying to use an APG with a partial refund on when I was overcharged on something that was un-related to the APG. The receipt was marked and it was enough to cause a problem

I don't know? My APG receipt was unmarked as I hadnt used it in A's.
I havent tried using one that had been marked as used at A's?
I guess they might consider the APG a copy so not valid? I'm sure it says something about copies in the T's t&c's? Too tired to look back to check, but I guess it depends on who is on the tills?

My local T's is marking the receipt so not sure you can get away with using in both?

Apparently my Tesco are just starting to sign it, so will be using ones already signed in A's first. Doesn't say they can't be used in A's first...

I'm keeping on going - now well after 10pm - and 6 hours:eek: afterwards. (Oh, and just hit 11pm, by the time I get this post onto here:rotfl:.) However, I've not been in M all that time, as I did do a last-minute APG shop as well and also got some fresh air. No time for BBC News:eek::eek:, though I gather that Simon McCoy did the News at One and Carole Walker was on afterwards:rotfl:.

The items that I 'forgot' earlier were the Maxwell House 200g jar for Tvs M but T trying, inadvertently I'm sure, to thwart any PP by being £3.00:( (vs M's £2.29) instead of much better £4.50+. (That wasn't really a forgotten one, as it wasn't in my first M store.) And lots and lots of Sure Deos - both Men's and Women's and "Invisible" ones too - all at £1.44 each in M but I've not looked yet as to whether any good comparisons from Mrs A. Of course, a good comparison would be an expensive individual price (as expensive as possible) and a mix and match offer available:D.

This has gone the wrong way in price in A, so now Tvs A but not very good at all. M at £1.37. It would quite likely be far better if it was way more expensive in A and on a mix and match, even if then compared to M at £1.37. No luck, A on £1:(.

Aquafresh Extra Care Family Friendly Tingling Mint Mouthwash (500ml)£1.64 £1.00

Just to let you know I've had trouble finding the Colgate triple-pack toothbrush that was comparing £4 vs 90p at M (or maybe 2 for £1.80?). It is not in my first store and there is no sign of it in my second M either. I've scoured up and down all the shelves once again looking for what does not exist(:rotfl:). I wouldn't want to stop people getting it if it does continue on APG vs M at the same price as before, but just to tell you of the difficulty I've had. If anyone can find it in their own M, then, by all means, try it on APG (it may or may not work).

I can't find the 400g Chicken Drumsticks that were £1.00 in M (not best price as could be beaten by an mbuy offer on a different size pack in S but not far off the best) - I only have some new(?) 475g pack this week - and at much higher price so avoid those ones - the 400g at £1 were a 'buy in M' item. Again, you may be able to find them still in your M but I've removed them as it seems M is no longer in stock (albeit that there wasn't much stock at all left tonight by the time I reached the check in the second store).

This isn't a list, btw, of the good items vs M this week. That is now all on the M list on the first page, and too much to mention or pick out!

The White Baguette (70p and 2 for £1 in A) may or may not continue to compare vs M at 50p. I have the Tiger Baguette now newly at 50p, but the White Baguette may be OOS this week and thus could be N/A. But don't bet on it!;)

I noticed there are now, in the second M store tonight, some Savers Cloths 20 pack:(. No SEL for them at all (and I'm afraid I can't go behind anything and start trying to scan anything as just too many items involved when I'm checking) but I can probably bet they will cost more than 36p x2!:(:(:rotfl: (Maybe I'll be surprised and find they aren't? But I just have my feeling that might be a way of doing a price increase. Will find out once a SEL actually appears at some stage.)

Just a couple of items to add to "buy in M" - may be store-specific. J Garotta Compost 1Kg pack at 98p and some Mouse Bait Stations (twinpack) also at 98p. (If your M stocks them.)

We are, I think, now up-to-date.
