I think I will classify them as neutral..

ie. if I use an £8.00 APG on a £10.00 shop and get an APG back of £7.50.. I will classify it as a £2.50 shop!

Ok I get it! Were on then.

No no no - this is double counting, naughty step

You can only count what goes out of your account in real money so on this £10 shop its £2 in real cash leaving the bank account

The £7.50 comes off the next shop

But for the purpose of this mission, it is £2.50 off my £100 total - so at the end of the month I should have the just used £100 whether in cash or APG.

No double dipping taking place here :D (and god knows I don't want to spark the heated debates of this subject)

Stupid question alert:rotfl:
These childrens cough mixtures that are reduced will hey be ok for adults as dont have kids but thought we could use them?:cool:

I wouldn't have thought so. Kids medicines have much smaller quantities of the active ingredients and obviously adult medicines have stuff in that isn't in kids medicines at all. Not that Ive tried kids cough medicines myself, but they're different for a reason. They certainly won't do you any harm, might just not have the desired effect.

They are both naughty boys!



I have to admit I also have a freezer full, but I think it will be a challenge.

I have got an old purse out and am going to put £100 in it and not use any cards etc.

My big issue is do I classify APG's as money.. or coupons!

APGS, BMs and TPPs are real money.

I don't count MOCs as real money, so few of them these days they are just an added bonus.

I don't count !!!!!! clubcard points as these Are for long term saving but Sainsburys nectar points are real money you can use at the till.
