    I'm going for nearly £15. But problem is how will I ever spend that much on a shop?


    Its actually starting to become a challenge to get the APG's to stay below £10 at the moment...I ended up with one for £4.81 this morning without really trying...and even then I had to use 3 x 10p sweets
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    I spoke to on line chat today, as I'm on tier 2 but wanted to put order for b&q for £96, I asked if this would count and carried forward, and was told, it was just £100 in total over 12 retailers so if you put your high order in first, then small orders it would be fine.
    I have had a copy of the chat sent to my email just In case

    Fantastic! :T Can we all have a copy please. :):rotfl:

    Mimi so pleased you got Mum's Uggs she will be delighted :T wish you were my DS:A

    Aww thanks. I am sure your children get you loads of posh presents too. Mom loved them. She loves the colour and the fit and she says they are very warm. Happy days!

    I am going to give up on the JF glitch thing. I found the trigger today but someone has emptied the oils. This was my 4th visit. I don't think I can be bothered anymore.

    I was in a large Asda today and saw a lot of health care items on clearance. Items including Optrex (down from £12 to about £8), hayfever items (quite cheap actually) and XLS fat binder products (seemed like smallish boxes down from £18 to £2.50).

    Thats the one I used this morning. I didn't check if it was on msm though, I just bought it because someone posted it working yesterday. I've just realised that was quite a risk I took there and didn't even think about it :eek: :rotfl:

    Oh I check every item in my shopping, if I've carried it over until another day, to see that it's still on msm (if wanted to compare) and that the competitor hasn't suddenly put the price up - can never trust them. So much time wasted checking things and then checking them again - maybe I ought to just go straight for your approach as would be far quicker!:T

    Please bear with me...

    2 x heroes is good?
    JF oils and elixirs...are we still on the same ones as last week or are they different ones now?


    I know I can do both on the same shop and i have just printed off my APG's from last week, but like Savvy, if I can get it all cheaper together then i'll do both on the same shop :cool:


    sorry QOC i've stepped away from the JF as I have enough so not paid attention to what is best to get.

    a collective sort of madness seems to have swept down our lane today.

    This morning a chap staggered down our lane carrying a big bag of potatoes, no idea why he did not just park directly outside the house. These potatoes he delivered to the neighbour on the right – I don’t know the neighbour needs a full sack of potatoes as he lives alone, possibly he is going to store them in his garden chalet next to the hot tub. He seems to be mostly staying at the new girlfriends place for at least half of most weeks so maybe she is also a big potato eater and the sack of potatoes is a present.

    When we came back this afternoon the lane was blocked by a large lorry delivering gravel to the neighbour on the other side for her drive – yes she already has a drive full of gravel and no danger of her running out. We could not get onto our drive so we parked on the road as we expected the lorry to be a long time doing his delivery. Instead he was only there 5 mins as he was only delivering about 2 bags of gravel. This neighbour is now outside in a freezing howling gale with a shovel randomly moving gravel about – why this needed to be done in November instead of during the long hot dry summer I have no idea.

    I may be the only sane one left.

    Thanks mhoc. Trying not to LOL at work. :rotfl:

    It seems Quidco themselves aren't even sure about this. I went on LiveChat asking "Say I have already spent over £100 by the time I reach, for example, retailer box 5 - does that mean all the other milestones will have automatically been reached, meaning I could just make small purchases in the remaining retailers required to fill in the last boxes to make 12 in total?". The advisor has had to create a support ticket to come back to me as they don't know! I'll post back when I get a reply

    I wasn't told that, I was told it would be fine

    I don't worry that much - I have two people (at two different stores) who know I get big APGs by buying competitors' half price offers and just put them through with less fuss. I have others in the stores who are unaware and can use some smaller APGs I get with them.
