It was on the shelves in the offer when I was there at the weekend as I reported back that none of the Radox were showing/scanning on A or MSM apps at that time.

However, caution required as someone reported today that they got an item not showing on either A or MSM in this offer but still it appeared on APG.

thanks, if it was mumto2monkeys that it did not work for I can see the item she got an both a and msm .not sure if it updated after,

I worked it out (to the best of my limited maths ability) earlier and it's cheaper buying 6 IF their system does recognise the discount

This comes around every so often - I may not have this 100% correct, but in my mind it all depends on how much cash you have to introduce into the system overall, when you "count" the voucher that you have in hand and how many/what value of goods you end up with at the end. Same principle works for APG and PP.

If I spend £10 and get £9 back - I have spent £10 and have £10 of "product" as I still don't have the £9 cash to spend elsewhere (and could lose the voucher!).

If I then spend that £9 voucher and add in £1 cash to buy the products again, how much have I spent? £11 cash, but I have £20 of products and £9 voucher to spend again.

Same shop a third time, I have now spent £12 cash, £18 of vouchers, have £30 of product and still have £9 voucher.

Now as I cannot turn the voucher into "cash" - if on the 4th shop I buy 9x4 pints of milk (for the sake of argument as they are 3 for £3 in M and £1 at most other places) that I would have bought anyway and are not on offer elsewhere, what do I have?

£39 worth of "product" for £21 (£12 cash, £9 final voucher which is now effectively being spent as cash - my intial "investment").

Is that right? Not factoring in petrol and time etc.

if you dont go ill ask your ds2 "what happened to the time on the old mobiles in the draws, when the clocks went back?"

Im going now I doubt very much if he knows where or what we have in the way of old mobiles, it's not something he concerns himself with. I think it's because we have a hands off policy in here. No one touches anyone else's phone........it used to cause way too much squabbling with the kids. So you only concern yourself with your own business

I check DS2 phone when he's in bed, for safety reasons if he ever catches me, I'll get it:eek:

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?

I think you are right. One packet with all tablets in combined strips sounds like one payment to me. I took these once but now have patch.
Maybe Karlie88 might come along to clarify. If she has the repeat part does it say one item or 2?

Edit seen answer now. Think monthly cost cheaper if get a yearly pre prescription payment card. My dad is on metaformin and her go refuses to give her more than one month at a time so she has outlay every month. My gp said she should be allowed 3 months worth at a time which would reduce costs.
With 8 items a month I moved over to prepayment card long before I qualified for free medicine.
It is a shame as I know people who can't afford their mess so sometimes have to go a couple of weeks without. I was in hospital in London and lady next to me was running a failing business while they tried to sell the building and she was admitted simply because she had not taken drugs she needed.
We need to get up to speed with the rest of the uk and stop charges. I know the economy can't really afford it but be a fairer policy for all and I am sure would cut back go and hospital times slightly.

I had a very nice email from Tesco after seeing on 10 ways jump leads half price I bought then using click & collect for the first time so I went
to Tesco to pick it up on Monday and they weren't there so when I got home I sent a nice email to Tesco saying how disappointed I was I had a reply today with an apology and they put the money back on my card so it ended up an even better bargain you can't get better than free.

Yes you can, get paid to take it away .

You are one step ahead of me. My thoughts hadn't got as far as rinsing and repeating yet! :rotfl::rotfl:
Well we'll know soon because Im off to find out.

Well I have just been stocking up so just buying one lot of items at a time.

2 bottles of Hardys Stamp cost £14.50 and get anything for 51p because it needs to be over £15 for it to compare the match points.
This is £4.99 in Asda or Tesco so you get match points for the difference. In this case 4520. Then you get the more points 2000 each bottle, so 4000 makes a total of 8520. Rinse and repeat once you get your vouchers through.

Big bottles of Comfort are £3.25 in morrisons, £2 in Asda so 1250 in match points, and have 1000 more points on each one. For example, 6 of these costs £19.50 and gives you 13.500 points all together. I know you will say I am not paying £19.50 for Comfort, but you will be using your vouchers.

Dettol Power and Fresh is £2.49 in Morrisons but 2 for £2 in Asda so each pair gives you 2980 match points and 500 more points

Hope this helps

I shop all over the place, whete ever there is an offer, but am loving this one. I wait for the figure to go down online the dash off to Morries to buy more stock. Yesterday I had only been home an hour from printing off £30 when it showed my next £20 were ready to be printed off. I went straight back and stocked up again. Just after 3pm today another £15 ready so off I pop, got so more stocking up stuff and £15 will be ready to print off soon. Stopped my fun now because of the £100 a month limit boo hoo. You can collect on a temporary card but you can't print them off, and to me its only fun because of the rinse and repeat.

Thank you rosy...it's starting to make sense:)

Thanks, it doesnt seem fair:( she is only 43 so alot to pay out then:(

You can buy prescription passport thingies, might work out cheaper. Pay so much in advance and all the prescriptions in the relevant period are , probably be on NHS website?
