    Yes I started off with doing 2 x2 bottles of Hardys and a 51p choc bar so total £31 then each time a few pennies as I dont like it to be zero. Paracetamol are good at 22p

    your wine would have worked out cheaper if you'd bought 6 in one go with 25% off? You'd lose match points if it compares at discounted price (and we don't know if it does or not yet?) but your cash outlay would have been less. My maths aren't spot on but doing it that way makes the net cost £2.99 a bottle. Buying 2 at a time makes it £3.24 or thereabouts. *I think*

    Well done on your shop...


    Although just a word of warning....it might be better to keep your APG's under the £10 mark where possible...in some stores,certainly mine they need a supervisor inquisition to put anything over £10 in and sometimes raising your profile too many times because you become known isnt worth it for the sake of generating large APG's

    putting it like that it seems like a lot of hard work for little gain...

    for example

    in Sada

    4 bottles of wine = £20
    6 bottles of comfort = £12
    2 dettols = £2

    Total £34, so you have only saved £3 but you have had to do numerous shops, run home and print vouchers then go back and forth?

    Or have i not got the gist of this game at all??:o

    Thankyou rosy
    So
    4 bottles of wine
    6 bottles of comfort
    2 dettols
    For initial outlay. Is that correct ? Sorry for all the questions, I am trying to understand m&m honest :o Tia xx

    I could be wrong here CC. Would like rosy to have a look and let me know if I've missed anything off from her stash. Tia xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Well done - as you get into this, you may want to bring down your total to under £10 per APG as they are easier to scan/raise fewer issues at checkouts (over £10 requires manual entry by CS and on manned tills authorisation by a supervisor too in some stores - less than £10 requires only the checkout operator to authorise on self-scan in most stores, so quicker to process). Anything over £15 they reserve the right to check before issuing so at some point may face issues (CS dependent).

    My sister just rang me any advice here welcome, i have said Doctors Surgery are wrong.
    She has been put on HRT on Monday, went and got prescription its 2 different lots of tablets in 1 foil strip, she has to take 1 sort in the morning the other in the evening.
    When she got in from work, there is a message on anwerphone to ring surgery, this she does and is duly told she owes them for a prescription!
    She said no i paid £8.05 for prescription yesterday, they said as its 2 different sorts of tablets she needs to pay another prescription charge?
    But they are in the same strip so its only 1 prescription am i right?

    If I can escape after dinner I may well go to Morries and test 6 bottles of Hardys to see what happens. My curiosity about what it will compare at is getting to me. If it compares at full price, I'll lose match points but at least we will know :D
