    None of those fillers lost money Savvy - in fact they added 11p to the APG :)

    Yeah, but we know what we meant - for example, those S/P Waters would have added 1.7p each had they been put onto an Avs T comp. rather than bought on a comp. that 'won' vs Waitrose and, in that sense, they lost 1.7p each. Got them for 17p each instead of using them as items towards an 8 item vs T shop and then getting them for about 15.3p. (But then, we've lost a further 3 pence plus 10% of 14p on them as they have gone up from that price in the last three years.)

    Of course they could have been replaced by two different 10p Haribos to give the same number of items, as there is a minimum number of items needed to trigger any comp. at all (including the Thornton's chocolates one). And then, on current prices, would have been a loss of 10p each instead of 17p-1.7p. But then they would have a different 1p loss as Avs T for example would have been 10p vs 10p instead, but then these '10p' items are small bags but, on weight, are probably very expensive price per unit - but then again it's all relative, if you wanted to buy the same amount of sweets, but cheaper, it would probably be best to get a bigger pack but then the Haribos act as different items each time, which is more value in that regard, even though of course we all 'miss' out on the 11 for £1 T mix and match (would have to be that, as maximum 10 of any item compares). Expensive for the small amount of sweets in them but then they act as items that help trigger more back and, in that sense, probably priceless. Even if they are not 'on the best comp.', but could not be on any other comp. with the chocolates and the 'loss' of 1p compared to elsewhere is far outweighed by the comparison vs W overall (even though I don't like the column of a lot of N/As:rotfl:). I've not even checked your figure btw; I'm taking everything on trust:rotfl:.

    So.....after spending all afternoon playing bespoke Amazon.......I find out that you can't use the bespoke vouchers to buy Amazon vouchers :doh: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    So my hair still isn't dyed, I've just had to pay real money for my Amazon vouchers and I have an Amazon account full of vouchers I don't need :o:o........yet.

    I saw that earlier. It's only at Morries.
    How much I have been been paying attention to COS lately? :o I had £20 ready to withdraw and I hadn't noticed :rotfl:

    (Speaking unfiltered mind...:D:(:rotfl:)

    Typical of you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    That said (when it probably should not have been lol:rotfl:), I've had cashback in accounts sometimes and not immediately withdrawn it. They usually sneak it in, after months of waiting:(, when I've given up checking for a week or two:rotfl:. However - digging myself into a hole once more - :rotfl: - I certainly haven't forgotten ever:D:D:D and I have never failed to notice:D.
