    Oh my memory doesn't serve me correctly. So those items would need to be either the same price or less in Tes or Morry's? to get the APG...

    Does anyone have any recommendations as what they usually buy to top up an order like this.
    Loose vegetables that I need anyway.
    Lots of people here buy 10p sweets.

    Are you shopping in store? If so I'd probably split that shop into 2, giving you 2x £8.xx vouchers which will scan for the SA and will potentially save you a trouting. (apgs over £10 require their value to be typed in. Some SA's are unfamiliar with this and will call a supervisor, who will then, most likely, scrutinise the receipt and give you the third degree).

    Do you need any normal shopping? I'd add some of your normal shop to the list - use msm to check if they are the same price or cheaper where you are comparing against. If so then add. No need to buy anything you won't use.
    Otherwise, many of us buy 10p sweets to make up the numbers = Haribo, Asda's white mice, chews etc. Other cheap items are 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 brussels sprout etc.

    It's only a game

    Going to A for my first APG shop this afternoon, going to be grabbing 10x Irn Bru and 10x Irn Bru light for the CoS 50p off per bottle.

    Now I've checked over the T&C's can someone confirm I need to get 12 different items for the APG to be valid?

    So I've checked MSM and it's £1.78 in A and £1 in Tes and Morrys so I should get £0.78 * 20 plus the 10% back?

    But that's only applicable if I get the right different items to validate the APG?

    Thanks in advance!!

    8 different items.

    Irn bru is 4 for £4 so for 20 (10 of each) you'll pay £20. Compares v Morries at £15 so £6.50 APG. £10 cos/Q

    10p flumps
    10p haribo starmix
    10p haribo tangfastic
    10p refreshers bar
    a brussel sproat
    a piece of carrot

    I usually get a tin of beans & mushy peas as we actually buy them anyway (these might lose you a 1p or so can't remember) :)

    That's a good list... I've not been keeping up :o
    Do you need glamour mag for the nails inc polish and b.shop voucher?

    That's on my list:)

    Does anyone who regularly purchases nails inc...know if you can tell the bottles are freebies?
    Is there any difference? I was thinking of getting them for my niece for a stocking filler,,
    Thanks

    Glamour mag in sainsbobs has free nails inc polish and you can't tell its freebie, just small. They have 20% off h& m gifts cards in them in my local

    Yes I'll be going in-store.
    I thought the SA would just give me my receipt which I type the details of in online. Are you saying they give you the vouchers there and then? I was also wondering about the x4 for £4 promo on the Irn Bru at A will that affect the APG?

    I'm also going to be getting a few bits mainly other CoS items.

    So it's best to break down the Irn Bru 10 on one shop 10 on another with 7 or so other different items on each shop to get 2 APG's?
