Afternoon all.

Sorry to interrupt your afternoon biscuit fun, but I just wanted to report that..

It blinkin' well worked!!:j:j

I managed to find the Honeycomb Crunch Squares at 92p instore and they were £1.84, '3 for £3' on msm. They scanned at 92p, but in the 3 for £3 offer and compared at 92p on the apg, forcing the other items in the offer to compare at full price.

Think we might be able to have a bit of fun with this guys..:D:D

1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Strawberry Stripes £0.10 £0.10
1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Sour Stripes (15g) £0.10 N/A
1 x Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Chewy Marshmallow ... £1.84 £1.00
1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar £0.10 N/A
1 x Candyland Flumps Mallow Twists (12g) £0.10 £0.10
1 x Haribo Starmix £0.10 £0.10
1 x Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Totally Chocolatey... £1.84 £1.00
1 x Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Honeycomb Crunch (... £0.92 £1.00
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Giant White Mice Bar (15g) £0.10 N/A

Evening all..

I've had a few PMs about this from people still trying to get cheap cereal bars.

Yes, I believe that the Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares Honeycomb Crunch is now a visible trigger in the '3 for £3' offer if it is less than £1 in your store (or any other item in the offer you might find that costs less than a quid), however the message I was trying to get across is far more exciting and potentially very lucrative..:D

I believe that if you find ANY item in ANY offer in A that is below the average cost of the multibuy, it will be a visible trigger that will force everything else in the offer to compare at full price.

I have only tried this once so far with success with the cereal bars. It is now up to all of us to keep our eyes open in future to see if we can test this out on other multibuy offers and potentially save flippin' great wodges of cash..:D

Forgot to say when I did my 2nd biscuit shop there was a £5 till spit voucher waiting which I noticed as I went to get purse to pay. I used it towards my bill assuming it was mine. But then I realised I hadn't scanned my match n more card yet so it couldn't have been mine and must have been left by person before me. I felt a bit bad!

Then I went to Halfrauds for some car bulbs using my trade card. The chap serving was so busy chatting about my free de-icer that he only charged me for 1 bulb. So paid £1.25 instead of the full price of around £14 for them. :j

If you're passing again, the bigger store has the malted, mint, jam & cream & neopolitan in stock - all working.

Oh and I even managed to womble 1000 M&M points!

Hi there not so stranger any more :T:T:T:T:D:D:D:D

I think I may avoid Morribobs for a while... I got a shop and £35 worth of vouchers popped out......I have no idea why! The SA was :T:T:T

As per t&c's

Is there a limit to how many Match and/or More points I can collect in a time period?
Yes, to help us manage Match & More and to ensure all customers are treated fairly, there is a limit of 100,000 points during a calendar month.

In my view, that's just what they say. I don't believe any of it at all. In my view, it's nothing about ensuring everyone is treated fairly - for everyone could get whatever points they get and would be treated fairly - instead (again my view) it's more, and indeed everything, to do with the first part - about them "managing" M&M and is everything to do with their own management of the scheme, i.e. in order not to give lots away to every customer and undermine their own ability to make profits but, instead, to hope that the vast majority of customers offset, as they indeed do, their shopping and lose points on overall baskets by buying items that are cheaper in M. On the contrary, the limit of 100,000 points - or indeed any limit - ensures that customers who achieve lots of points, through savvy shopping of items that give points and shopping in the right manner in my view, aren't able to get all they would be entitled to - i.e. a full price match - in the event that they have managed to get their shopping and/or More points £100 cheaper elsewhere. Indeed, it actually in my view discriminates against customers who have a lot of points and therefore does not treat those customers fairly. There is no suggestion that M could not create more points if it wanted to or that their systems are unable to cope with large numbers. These are computers for instance, that handle larger numbers that even my brain can do. Their system, in my view, could allocate any number of points to any customer that M chose to, and I'm having none of it and don't think anyone else with any rational thought (other than M itself maybe) would.

Anyway...

Unfortunately we had a 'scare' tonight - can't find any potato peeler, anywhere:mad:. Where is it? Where has it gone? So, had to go out and buy one. I'm sure the several that we should have will now immediately turn up, now that I've done that. I went to M - to get a Savers Peeler, and then A for a 'posher' one (for various reasons, I've never been able to peel spuds properly and the Savers ones, that just rip from off the potatoes, suit me better - and I reckon very recently it is something to do with my Asperger's - slight lack in motor skill - it's very subtle indeed, so fine that you wouldn't call it physical disability by itself - indeed a lot about this condition, as far as I have it, is very subtle indeed and most people would never be able to tell - it is "hidden" after all - which can be a disadvantage I suppose). I could find no whoopsed bread of any use - !r any good price - still 65p:eek: - so went to plan A and the peeler. I paid 75p. So I have got my 3x £5 vouchers now. Should have been 4x £5 by now, had I not bought a wrong biscuits packet three times over.

So, after £19.80, that's down by £4.80 + 75p. £5.55! In effect I've given them £5.55 for 20 packets of biscuits and a potato peeler. Only to find the S/P Peeler in A is 50p. I do no good on non-grocery items such as these, and have no clue as to the worth or value of anything of that kind. My 'special interest' is limited, and does not extend outside of that limited purview.

I could buy more biscuits - but I have absolutely no need for them, am not even organised enough to be able ever to go down to a foodbank or to fit it into my routine (it would be so disruptive trying to, and things take longer for me) and it would be a job sorting them out once they were at home, merely taking up space that does not need to be taken up. I am not confident that I would pick up any combination biscuits that fully worked anyway - or that, even if they have been working, they will cease to work from the moment I try them. It would be the best way of getting a full £15 of vouchers back from the £15, but even then, I'd still be having to pay them something extra would I not? A further 84p, in order to have 16 packets and then yet another payment of something (even if only a reduced item) in order to get the vouchers afterwards.

So, instead it will be a useless 'essentials' shop and getting even less back. Probably milk next time, if it remains on r'back in A. And I'm sure they'll be further lost in the future as at least some items will inevitably not work over the course of whatever many £15 shops I do in the next year, two years, however. It seems a very good way of getting yet more money after money from me, when I could simply have got the cheaper items in A and not had to buy as much as £15 on M price of them. I don't drink much, so I will never even be buying bottles of scotch or whatever at £15 in M anyway. Plus I will have to spend time working out proper M baskets to compare - I'll be paying more attention to possible Mvs in future, but - despite contrary suggestion - M is not as easy to get to as my Mr As, it's an extra journey to M to buy, and will inevitably have to be special journeys on other days as so difficult, for me (maybe I'm being pessimistic?), to do on the same days as price collections as those are the very days when I don't get the extra time to prepare £15 shopping baskets properly.

It felt like £5 notes coming out of the till tonight (do they get dispensed at SS? I used a staffed till tonight), but nonetheless, I'll need to keep the vouchers constantly with me just in case I find something really good in M on one day, as 'fiddly' vouchers, and not the type like the APG that you can print again if you should lose one, I'm a careless person who's always losing/misplacing anything anyway, and one or more of them is inevitably going to get lost at some stage. And with only an autistic person here tonight, it's not going well - everything is taking three times as long as it should!:( There's underlying depression that doesn't help, on occasions, (my mood is actually happy btw) and on getting the proper potato peeler home, the hot water is at a stage where it comes out boiling hot - and it's too much to run a sink - just too hard:(:p - so not having much ease washing it - and stupid me has gone and cut my finger on trying to wash the peeler - I should have known for well but do I ever think about it?:p:mad::o - and then struggling with plasters, not able to wash hands properly so slipping off and arggh!! - just so difficult - but I suppose we have nights like this sometimes... All in all, I think it's a really bad decision to join M&M but - thanks for getting me onto this in any event!:D
