Hi littlebluebird, you can only do one set of 12 for £6 in each shop, otherwise the multi is picked up between the flavours, as has happened in your shop.

Buying one set of 12, either all same flavour or 11+1, would not be seen by the APG system as it only sees a maximum of 10 of any individual item.

Thanks. I did only order one, the other was the sub which messed it up. I think others have sometimes reported subs being on the apg? First time it has happened to me. Still, generally better off on the whole though so can't complain.

Thanks for help though. Always good to have it pointed out in case someone copied.

Last words were don't buy too much. :rotfl:

I think Mr TS knows better than not to let me out the door Boots sale day. He says I can get up early for some things. Cheeky booger. :eek:

All I can say is mine definitely will not fit in any holdall under the bed. And that would be if there was actually any spare space under there. :rotfl:

I think I have every eventuality covered birthdays/xmas for everyone I know for the whole year. Still few BS sets left. I only really got stuff for my girls today, when I said jokingly before xmas there would be nothing from Boots this year, they actually had disappointed faces.

I have the job of getting it all in the upstairs cupboard without DD3 noticing that's not going to be easy. :eek:

Yes but i dont have 3 dd's to buy for but do have 3 nieces growing up, my god in a couple of years they will be spoilt more than now:rotfl::rotfl: they have loads already for xmas '15:eek::eek:

Serendipitious

Well I seem to have had 2 nights sleep in one day. Went to bed with a book last night, inexplicably woke at 3.30 and was wide awake so made a cup of tea, then I looked to see if Mr Shoes had started online, so my order went in at 4.00am, browsed around and put another small order in, then went back to bed and slept till 10. Both orders confirmed, paid by PP which saves a lot of time at checkout, due to collect tomorrow so I am pleased. Heven't over-indulged but I'm sure DGD will be thrilled on her birthday with her 'expensive' toy. (Not saying in case DD lurks!) But the Teksta I'd earmarked for DGS was already OOS so will have to rethink there but there's loads of time as his is not till autumn.
Not bad for a bit of insomnia. Must have been something in the night air!

Well done all on the bargains, I love reading what other people buy!

And the Whiskas results are..

Bit of a damp squib really. It only picked up two of the four flavours of Whiskas that I tried and the Hartley's jellies that someone posted about earlier as comparing well at 25p in M all failed and compared to 50p each..:(

However, there are four other Whiskas flavours to try and it may just be that only one of the flavours I tried didn't work as the '2 for £5' wasn't picked up on it making the other not work too.

Anyway, the two below in blue definitely work so get stuck in..:D

2 x Hartley's No Added Sugar Orange Jelly (115g) £0.80 £1.00
1 x Hartley's No Added Sugar Raspberry Flavour Jelly (... £0.40 £0.50
2 x Hartley's No Added Sugar Strawberry Jelly (115g) £0.80 £1.00
1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Strawberry Stripes £0.10 £0.10
1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Sour Stripes (15g) £0.10 £0.10
1 x Whiskas Favourites in Jelly - Pouch (12x100g) £3.50 £2.50
1 x Whiskas Meat Selection in Jelly - Pouch (12x100g) £3.50 £2.50
1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar £0.10 N/A
1 x Whiskas in Jelly Poultry Selection - Pouch (12x100... £3.50 £3.50
1 x Whiskas Fisherman's Choice in Jelly - Pouch (12x10... £3.50 £3.50

I don't know how 2 upload receipt senior didn't compare but mine 2 that'd did compare were whiskas fav in jelly pouch £7 to £5 & whiskas poultry selection pouch £7 to £5 in morrisons but all compared better in tescos senior in gravy £7 to £6.17 senior in jelly £3.50 to £3.50 fav in jelly £7 to £5.33 meat selection in jelly £3.50 to £2.67 whiskas in jelly poultry £7 to £5.33 hth

http://mymemory.translated.net/en/Welsh/English/caer

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caer

Caer (Welsh pronunciation: [kɑːɨr]; Old Welsh: cair or kair) is a placename element in Welsh meaning "stronghold", "fortress", or "citadel",[1] roughly equivalent to the Old English suffix now variously written as -caster, -cester, and -chester.[2][3] In modern Welsh orthography, caer is usually written as a prefix, although it was formerly—particularly in Latin—written as a separate word. The term is thought to have derived from the Brittonic *kagro- and to be cognate with cae ("field, enclosed piece of land").[4]

So basically...you are all right and can stop arguing :rotfl:

Good afternoon, Tiny sounds like you did well this morning .I cannot believe how restrained I was as like you there was so much stuff particularly the big sets and I think Mr Shoes got it so wrong this year as never ever seen that much stuff before in all the years I have been going.It was a real bun fight people dragging those huge net baskets around tripping everyone up:eek:so I just spent my points on eye makeup for myself and got out as fast as I could;)
Happy Birthday Troutabout hope you have had a nice day:beer:

And there was me saying last night everyone had got the stock control right this year. :rotfl:

You are right Nanny it did make negotiating the aisles more difficult than ever as it was absolutely unbelievable how many of the offer of the week gift sets were available, except of course the No 7 one. So I have spoilt my girls this year.

And I was really pleased to find some nice hair gift sets too. :T

I spent my nearly £20 of points on some nice clothes for Teeny, they were not 70% this year I would say most about 2/3rds off. Although got a lovely coat Age 2/3 for £8, SA reckoned it was about £28 originally.
