Can you carry a lot of hair dye on the back of you bike?

:D:D:D:D

The one she uses are two for £11, if I get four for a few quid plus APGs then that's cool. The rucksack would take about a dozen.

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.

For the purpose of my £100 months mission, they have to be cost neutral (to me)

:D:D:D

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!

Also make sure you are signed up to all of the cashback places - eg Topcashback, quidco clicksnap, COS and Shopotize and mysupermarket.
Quidco had some free items last week or nearly frees, Shopotize Also and you only need to earn £5 to be able to draw down.
COS has new offers starting tomorrow. But you need to earn £20 before you withdraw -

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)

One or other of you may have an advantage over the other.It depends how many apgs you have to start with.:D

Thankyou, was trying to work out the size of the apg, don't want it to be too big....:)

Totally agree - I got worried after I had done the shop that it would increase the APG more than I thought (i'd gone based on this compare from previous days) and was a bit worried about a big chunk amount....:o

Hope you got some!

Some items vs Sainsbobs:

The Strepsils Children as we know. From my shopping results today:

1 x Green's Barbie Dollicious Cupcake Kit (254g)£1.00£0.47
1 x ASDA Sun Lotion SPF 15 (200ml)£1.00N/A
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Little Hero Cupcake Cases (100)£1.22£0.31

Looks like the Home Baking Cupcake Cases and the Little Princess ones will also compare vs 31p at S. But not any of the 58p ones in A:rotfl:. Given that 'normal price' was about 55p for similar items, this seems quite good. Though that's maybe just getting us more items to buy and spend more money on. And I'm sure however that they should be bought when 1p somewhere or on RTC:rotfl:.:o:o

Similarly, the Sun Lotion. Also vs W at N/A and, as at the time of writing (but this may change), vs M N/A. Make sure it's the Lotion and make sure it's the 15SPF, as there are some at much much higher pricing for S on msm albeit OOS (so those might compare £1.00 vs £3.00:eek: or even much higher). I like a bit of a risk!:D

Maybe an item for Tvs A?
1 x ASDA Sun Lotion SPF 15 (200ml)£1.00£3.00

But no guarantees and I'm sure that £1 price is really not that good:(. I bought an exact 8 different items again:eek::eek::D:rotfl:. (Told you I like my risky shops:eek:_pale_:D:D:rotfl::rotfl:.)

Then again I see Nurofen at £1.25. That seems good for "Nurofen", but I always remember that Nurofen is Ibuprofen, so always get the own brand Ibuprofens:money: and never ever go for the branded name. I can't understand why anyone ever would - the generics are chemically identical. I'm hesitating on ruling out the Nurofen that compares to £1.25 however, because it is Flu and Cold relief (I'm sure there's no cure for a common cold?:think:) rather than plain Nurofen. Even so, I'm still thinking of that own brand flu and cold relief capsules that go vs somewhat cheaper than £1.25 at T (65p from memory?).

I see the Condoms (£4 in Sains and may be until 2nd September:T, but watch if they go OOS on msm) have been reduced in A. Not quite down to £4, but more like £13:eek: instead:rotfl:. I really want a BIG r'back sign on them in my store though and not just a little crossed out but still white background to the pricing - why can we not have yellow labels? - as, although not as good amount to APG as £16.99 vs £4, hopefully a crossed out price might encourage people to buy them for wombles just occasionally:rotfl:. No luck there yet - but hopefully the price 'cut' in A might help a little... I hope! Sadly, one of these items at least is not in a prominent enough position in my main A store:(:rotfl::rotfl:, it's hiding behind a clip-strip:eek: - come on A, move the product to more prominent fronting to advertise your reduction and please promote it more!

I would try it, just take a bigger dose.

Yes I suppose it might work. I've never tended to buy these branded kids medicines myself. They're overpriced compared to chemists/supermarkets own brands that have exactly the same ingredients. Not that it affects me anymore, the kids are all old enough now to take the smallest dose of adult medicines.
The pholcodeine linctus that has been mentioned recently is the best thing Ive found for a cough too and the chemist own brand is reasonably priced
