Extreme Couponing says the double discount T code isn't working anymore (I've not tested)

10 ways saying the biscuits have been on other forums since Wednesday. I thought they kept up on here but they must be reading another forum since we've all been doing it since Monday!

Morning All,

Any biscuit reports this morning??

Good morning all!
I am back from biccy shop (the 3rd one this week!)
They have worked perfectly. I am going to take some packets to my workplace today
Also, my store is a brand new one, so they are giving £2 off £20 spend. A lovely SA offered me the coupon, even though i was planning to use 4 x £5 coupons After £2 off I had to pay £3.xx, but its worth! I have lots of celebrations, LO playgroup, also my colleagues nurses have sweet tooth

If you were getting 20 packs and a small filler to get to £20 you could have got another couple of packs to get to £22

The Match points would have been capped but you would have still got the More points so about £21 back on a £20 "spend"

Yeah thats what i thought too aau!
I was hoping you were here to pick your mathmatical brain ... Would you be kind enough to do an M biscuit breakdown on costs and points IF You were to max out on five shops at £19.80.
If youre too busy, not a problem!

I have done a breakdown myself, but im unsure if ive got it correct as it seems awefully simple but i was suprised by my result.
I hope ive made sense?!?!
Thank you!!

If you want to use 4x£5 vouchers on each shop but you are only earning £19.80 per 20 pack shop then you either need to buy a filler which gets you extra points or do 2 shops of 21 packs at the start (you'll max out at £10 Match points on those shops but you'll get £10.50 in More points)

if you buy 21, 21, 20, 20, 20 and get a 20p filler on each of the 20pack shops then your costs are

shop 1 (21 packs), pay £20.79 get back £20.5
shop 2 (21 packs), pay with £20 vouchers and 79p cash get back £20.5
shop 3 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.80
shop 4 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.80
shop 5 (20 packs) and 20p filler, pay with £20 vouchers and get back £19.40 (because of the £100 cap)

In total you've paid £21.58 in cash but you'll still have £20 worth of points so effective cost for 102 packs of biscuits and 60p of fillers is £1.58

ETA:

This assumes they don't have in place a total limit on the promo, or a limit per flavour (which you could get around by getting a variety of the 9 or so different varieties)

ETA2: zippy will be kicking himself that he's on his cruise because 13 hours after posting this I finally realized that I didn't factor in the purchases that you have to make between shops to get the actual vouchers in your hand. :rotfl:

Good morning all...


Popped to M this morning to liberate my vouchers from the till spit,didnt get anymore biscuits as the packets we have will be more than enough ....but stocks were lower but not empty.


The other day I bought full fat coke in packs of 8 at 2 for£5 each of them containing a voucher for a free 1.75 lt bottle of coke zero.
Picked up 2 bottles in M as 2 for £2 and used one voucher so 2 bottles cost 15p...it was enough to generate my £10 till spits.


Have a good day all...
Both boys are away this weekend so OH and I are off for a few days away...
