    [1] Oh go on then, maybe:rotfl:.

    [2] I know - I was thinking about this in the last half hour actually - lots of choc, toothbrush, cookies, Sanex shops being posted but does anyone ever buy any bread, potatoes or other essential food? Just thinking about how rarely I see them in any comps. I'm going to have to get some more proper food soon. My Crispy Dippers worked this afternoon vs M and may get more of those later - in fact I'm thinking loads in one shop, they're on offer for a while yet in M but I don't want the temperamental price collection to change. Here's what I was thinking vs T though.

    Iceberg Lettuce is now very dear. Round Lettuce should be Morrisons 49p vs Asda at 40p, but I've put one on a possible Avs T shop as T is non-comparable. This won't give much APG back, except the Twix Fingers, which I don't need and which I'm not getting. It's just all spending money on things that aren't good for you and can be done without. S/P apples now showing T OOS but might still compare for a few pence of APG. Otherwise, there's women's Quattro Razors (I don't need those:rotfl:) but surely must be a cheaper (legal) way of getting those? One of the Cussons Mum and Me Shampoos is A £2.50 vs T 93p. There were some £1 off coupons on Savvy Me ages ago, not sure if any of those are available anymore.

    Packets & Cereals
    Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (750g)£1.64 £1.57
    ASDA Smartprice Chocolate & Nut Muesli Bars (6x23g)[Strike]74p[/Strike] 40p Tesco Everyday Value Chocolate and Coconut Cereal Bars (6x21g)74p
    ASDA Smartprice Strawberry Flavoured Cranberry Muesli Bars (6x23g)[Strike]74p[/Strike] 40p Tesco Everyday Value Hazelnut & Raisin Cereal Bars (6x21g)74p

    Drinks
    ASDA Smartprice Sparkling Water (2L)17p Tesco Everyday Value Sparkling Water (2L)17p
    ASDA Smartprice Still Water (2L)17p Tesco Everyday Value Still Water (2L)17p

    Snacks & Sweets
    Twix Biscuit Fingers (16x23g)£2.80 £1.44

    Bakery
    ASDA Smartprice Medium Sliced Brown [really Wholemeal] Bread (800g)45p UnavailableN/A

    Fruit & Vegetables
    ASDA British Sliced Curly Kale (200g)88p Tesco Sliced Curly Kale (200g)49p
    ASDA Bananas by Weight (170g)11.6p Tesco Bananas Loose (Approx 180g)12.2p
    ASDA Round Lettuce40p Tesco Everyday Value Round Lettuce40p
    ASDA Smartprice Apples (500g)74p Tesco Small Sweet Apples (6 per pack - 520g)79p

    It's not an APG shop really (I'm not getting the Twix). Trouble is I can hardly do a muggles shop at all these days - always thinking how much I'm losing on each item by not getting 10%, but then having to get 8 items (maybe extra than what I'd get?) and do I really need the water again at this stage - could wait till later? Cereal bars in case they have them knocked down in my store. Bet they won't:rotfl:. I don't want much total spend as down to low APG. The CN Corn Flakes at £1.64 are therefore better from that POV. But, then I won't get much back at all. Might not even bother with them, as I've got enough. Then even less APG amount back:(:rotfl:.

    I went into boots this morning, I'm really surprised at how much stock my local still has left, its usually 1/2 gone by now with just the usual tat left.
    I had a good shop though, I had some advantage vouchers to use by tomorrow £2 off lynx, % off mens deo and some coincided with the app, ie I had 25% Off women's deo paper voucher and 20% when you buy 2 women's deo on the app and both worked:j
    I bought 1x lynx deo, 1 x lynx shower gel, 2 women's deo and paid £3.72 first time I've shopped in there for a while:)

    Oh, it's a hard life:rotfl:! I'm even having trouble with my Santander 1 2 3 getting enough cashback back to cover the monthly fee:D - trouble is my energy bills are just so low they don't even give much cashback back on there! We qualify for council tax reduction, which is a good thing and saving us loads, but then virtually no cashback back off that either. As I say, it's a hard life.

    If you pull up your order details online then you can request a refund on the chocs giving a 'damaged' comment in the space for Reason. They do not ask you to return the items to the store. You should find that the rejected subs are deducted from your total taken from your bank/ccard. Keep an eye on it though and check your bank statement to make sure.
    I still haven't had a refund for items from 23rd Dec delivery, despite me doing this, and the delivery boy scanning the items.

    Looks like I'll have to call them up :(
