Noticed on MSM the Foxs Chunky Cookies ARE now showing the 2 for £2.50 price.
Was wondering if the Hartleys Sugar Free jelly pots have filtered through to APG results reflecting Morries price of 25p yet?
Not able to shop until Sunday but was needing some (but not at 5 for £2. only if at Morries 25p price)

Thanks for your fabulous posts Evangeline, you work so hard in pulling things together for us :A

Re the cc/hd I felt the same a while back, especially as my ex Netto is serviced by a DC so have no idea what's gonna happen. I seem to have it just right now as hold back enough evouchers to cover just under half of the the cost of the shop (about a tenners worth) plus if you put full priced items in your trolley, you are hoping to glitch, that will soon get the total to over £25. If your products don't glitch you can just reject them. My shop today cost me under £1 of real money and I have got an APG of just over £25 so it can work out very favourably.

Hope you didn't mind me saying

Of course not I may do a C&C again if it something I really want but sometimes I spend so much time worrying about things going wrong, as people have posted on here about orders being cancelled and losing vouchers. Also there is a much longer wait to see if you get the glitch than the 3 hours with an instore shop. I did look into getting the Udi's but they were £2.95 in my store. As I suffer anxiety more than the average person it's probably best for me I try to avoid it but I'd go for it for the chance of free dishwasher tabs or laundry detergent

with my petrol today at Tesco, i got a £5 off a gold valet.
anyone know how much it is please

Depends on the location and size of car. I think £15/ £20/ £25 depending whether small/ medium/ large car may the right sort of order.

TBH Bronze is outside, silver is outside and inside, gold is going to be something more than I have ever needed.

Gold gives your exterior a waxing and your mats washed.

Crisp glitch over ?
My results from earlier.

1 x McCoy's Ridge Cut Crisps - Mighty Meaty Variety (6... £1.50 £0.94
1 x McCoy's Ridge Cut Crisps - Nicely Spicy Variety (6... £1.50 £0.94

No question about it - yes, it's over:(.

:hello: As usual I've been 'going my own way' today and doing something else than everyone else has been doing:D. Been shopping in Sains. all afternoon (yes, probably all afternoon!). 4 sep. shops, 3 BMs and a final kill. So, that's it for me.

I got very slightly 'rushed' by feeling that A's 50p prices and sub-£1 r'backs would end very soon (they've already ended on the 'normal' Frijj milkshakes and the Aero Mousses, although that didn't affect much and, in fact, I'll probably go back to more wombling at A now so it should help!:j). Ended up with a lot of cereal:o and yet another Tuc Crackers:o:o. Not to worry - the Tuc crackers are now my Ritz and at match to 50p are only slightly more expensive than the Ritz crackers at 10% cheaper than their lowest of 69p probably a year ago. Except that I've been using free points and here it is - the gist!:D:D

I should have just said this one line before:
I had £4 cond spends off £20 at one stage. If you are spending £20 cond spend and getting £10 BM, it's like £4 off a £10 spend (equivalent at the competitor) - or £4 off £20 and £10 refund (BM) back - which is much better than 10%!

Not as good as some glitches though:(:rotfl:.

I spend £5 in points plus a penny proper cash. Had a total of £9.35:D from the three BMs:rotfl:.

First shop £6.11 BM from last time that was from a BM on the previous shop that came from a BM that came from a BM (etc.:D:D). I spent £6.11 + £2.50 points = £8.61. Was originally going to be a £11.11 shop (£6.11 + £5.00 points) but BM from that was about £5.95. I worked out that actually spending less is better. From £8.61 spend I had £4.33 BM. Then £4.33 + the remaining £2.50 points spend = £6.83 i.e. somewhat more than the straight £5.95 and no points that I would have had from the £11.11 shop that never was. Wonder why it works out that way?:think: Despite more money spent on 10p etc. fillers across two shops. (Fortunately, they did NOT offer a £1.50 cond spend off £10 on the first (£8.61) shop as, with my points spend of £2.50 on that, I could now never reach the £10 without giving them £2.50 cash - glad they didn't give me that, and then I could just now spend less and less:D.)

I think it's because higher Sains cost items e.g. £2+, that give half or preferably more of their cost back - through being more than half that price at A - are actually best split into smaller cost items - that then count as two rather than one to the ten - and percentage back greater. E.g. Oust Clean Scent £2.25 vs £1.00 = £1.25 difference, but split into two items - Tuc Crackers £1.30 vs 50p and Pot Noodle £1.00 vs 50p - and then you have 5p more left as no longer needing a further 10p item - gives 80p+50p = £1.30 difference, i.e. 5p more and then split another £2 odd item the same, and no extra filler, and it all adds up (not much, but a bit).

After the Flash Magic Eraser single worked on my first shop today, I did another.

I now have someone here that wants me to buy them Pot Noodles:(, and, as suggested, one of them (Chicken & Mushroom) at least works. There is no reason why it shouldn't have done but, after being seemingly caught out by an ampersand on some Pringles some while back, anything is possible I feel! (The shelves were very depleted though:mad::mad::((:rotfl:) on the Pot Noodles - doubtless muggles thinking that S's 4:eek: for £3 offer is a good offer:wall::(:rotfl:. As well as buying three more than they need, unless being used as v.v. expensive filler items (due to A's 50p each price being quite expensive:rotfl:)!)

Kellogg's Variety Pack again works (only doing that because it is £2.10 vs 98p - most things in Sains, that they haven't reduced:mad::mad: to bring them closer to A, are £2). The McVities Cheesecake Creams Strawberry work too - slightly more BM back than Lemon (£1.20 vs 50p instead of £1.15 vs 50p) and then cut down the rest of your shop by that 5p and in order to keep within your previous BM spend and 5p more goes onto the new BM.

This would have been very good if it worked:
Sanex:rotfl: Zero Hygiene Handwash 300ml (as if you need Sanex from Mr Bobs...:rotfl::rotfl:) £2.50 S 97p A. However, showing OOS for both S and A on msm signed in for me, and didn't want to risk them, so I don't know! I felt "Handwash" (a.com) vs "Hand Wash" (sains.co.uk) or maybe it's the other way around may be risky, and anyway can't tell how they appear described on the comp. which doesn't not necessarily match sains.co.uk and then that percentage symbol after "Zero", even though it was on both sites and even though no space appears between the word and symbol on both of them, I scared off as maybe the "%" after a word makes it not a word to be picked up by BM and therefore it may, I supposition, ignore it and maybe it'd fail.

Could have tried Sanex Zero Sensitive Shower Gel 250ml (again, appears described the same on both) £2.20 vs £1.00 (which is better BM value back, if it works, than Kellogg's Variety but worse than Flash single Magic). I shied off the Herbal Essences 200ml totally vs 97p:D as different descriptions appear on a.com. Would have been nice to get £2.25 vs 97p though, instead of using the Oust Clean Scent (found instore) at £2.25 vs £1 - although then I'm having to find an odd 3p on the next shop and probably makes little difference.

The penny overpayment was because my Ginger scanned at 2p - I couldn't get a 3p one despite trying - after my first two attempts were too low to scan at all:o:mad::mad::rotfl:. So, I had to bring a Banana out - up by 1p compared to Haribo at 10p, then picked a 12p banana instead. My loose new potato was pretty expensive on the penultimate shop: 9p!:eek::eek::rotfl:

The final shop was £1.60 BM. Two packs of Basics Cornflakes 30p each is the 60p. And a pack of Basics Ice Cream Cones at 50p (I think they disappeared off the APG at that price, hope they have disappeared off the APG:rotfl:) and - Basics Blackcurrant Cheesecake (frozen) at 50p.

That final item seems a good item to use if you already have 9 items in your shop and need another 50p to spend.

However:rotfl:, it would be better to replace it by an Angel Delight sachet (banana at least works) as 45p vs 39p on that (adds another 6p:D) and then need to increase one of your fillers by the remaining 5p. (As long as you haven't already got the Angel Delight in your shop.)

I'm off now - as got to go out in RL! Somehow, somewhere I have mentioned through this post all of the items I tried that worked! (And those I didn't, about which I do not know...:rotfl:)

About the Frijj going up to £1.30:eek: in A, there are still some other Frijj - Honeycomb maybe? - at 50p in A that should be £1.30 S vs 50p A, as these ones never went down in price in S from £1.30 to £1.00, but stayed at £1.30, though they are 375ml ones so you don't get as much in them:(. I stuck with the Tuc Crackers (:o:rotfl:), as know them to work.

Very expensive prices on the single veg in S:eek: - though my loose parsnip went back:o:o as was 2p over the BM on my last shop and without it I hit BM amount on the nail (and still had 10 items). I notice however that, according to this instore and you'd need to check msm, loose broccoli (could be bought substantively rather than just a one penny piece) should be available for Avs Sains (that should be useful, as the beggars really expensive) at £1.40/kg.

As I now have no spendable points, and no BM, I think I'll now just collect points through the year from free sources and never shop again with them all year. Hopefully, by the end of the year and with my points built up, they'll be missing me so much that they'll send me some good cond.spends in the post.:money: (If they don't - I obviously need to wait longer and fail to shop there even more:rotfl::rotfl::j:rotfl::money::money::rotfl:.)
