    Can I please ask if everyone who participated in the Amex shop small got their credits from the One Stop Shop?


    I got all the credits from other retailers, but the ones from One Stop have not appeared on my statement. I have raised the issue with LLoyds (as it was a Duo account), and it is being investigated.


    I am confident of a successful outcome, but was curious if others have experienced the same issue with One Stop? Thanks.

    Me and DH did 3 OneStop shops and had to get all of the £5's added manually, this was an Amex Platinum card.

    But savvy.....I hate smart price ice cream:o

    Oh alright then. (I could say that they will therefore last even longer.) However, £1 was the price I paid for some 500ml A's own Rocky Road Ice Cream tub ages ago, so on that basis the Ben and Jerry's is good. If you can find it in M/risk it vs M:rotfl:.

    Sounds like a plan!

    Which cruise companies offer the cabin share, as never seen those advertised? MSC supposedly do some cruises with no single supplements, but every time I've looked they're more expensive.


    I know Saga do and I think p and o do as well. Oh and Fred olsen.
    Cruise.co.uk used to have some fab single deals and alot of their late deals are same price for sole traveller but you have to go into each cruise and have a good look and I know some people go to port on the day to get tremendous bargains on empty cabins.
    lucky for me I live near a port for that one.
    Shame no one does great share holder discounts.
    Off on holiday tomorrow but will PM you with some details of what I know when I get home.

    Note: for in-store shopping between midnight-ish and 6am-ish :money:

    IRN BRU 2 LTR - 2 FOR £2

    sfsb mentioned this a while back vs T.

    msm is still showing 2 for £2 at T, but Tosco's own website has 'Barr Sugar Free Irn Bru 2 Litre Bottle £1.70 : Any 2 for £2.00 : Offer valid from tomorrow'

    Is this likely to cause ripples through the APG :think: will it go n/a for a while or pick up £1.70 single price in T :think:

    If it works then (in 2's) £3.40 v £2 net 2 for 40p

    Earlier I was thinking 'buy in 6's' was the previous T offer 3 for £3 :think:

    So many questions! :rotfl:

    edit: here's sfsb's post :idea: that's where 'buy in 6s' came from!

    APG should have whatever pricing for T it had at the midday update. This is why I had to rejig my potential vs S shop before I even went out - boogers (S) have taken the Trebor mints etc. off the 2 for 80p mbuy:(. Msm was now, early this evening, showing straight 60p price for S for all the individual sweets. As I didn't know what msm had at around midday, or if it had one at 2 for 80p but another at 60p straight price (and I like to mix and match as gets more items towards the 8 and thus spending less on fillers), I couldn't go for the sweets anymore as may now have 60p on them all. So left the whole things off, and then had to go for what I knew to be unchanged prices rather than either new offers or old ones.

    As regards the Irn Bru, it was 3 for £3 before. However, whether it's 2 for £2 or 3 for £3, buying six should still see T at £1 each. But if there's mixes and matches there - e.g. Irn Bru Regular and Irn Bru Sugar Free, it's possible, in my view, that one could have had 2 for £2 and the other have 3 for £3 in the system at midday earlier today, therefore might pick up T at full price on some of it if not getting whatever mbuys the system has. Just like A mbuys can fail to be picked up, due to an update, so the competitor mbuys might also be updated haphazardly:(. I think just buy six all the same version. Or six of each:rotfl:. No guarantees with anything, as usual.

    The new T offers will only be in the system to the extent they were on msm around midday, so risk some of those appearing at old full prices not showing on msm anymore: new half price offers for T should appear in the system after 6am:(. This is a separate point to the other one;) - I mean the situation where T prices in general (not pertaining to Irn Bru) have updated on msm to new half prices, for example, but we've bought 'a day too soon' and still find them comparing to full price at T:( until we buy in proper tomorrow, i.e. from daytime onwards.

    Apart from the dying passengers, the cruise itself sounds like a fabulous experience. I would love to do something like that one day.

    Just looking at the Mug Shots To Go. Could be good if they go up to nice high individual price - T at 95p and mbuy so maybe A to 95p:T and 2 for £1.50 or even A's alleged previous price, according to msm at the moment, of £1.09 (and 2 for £1.50). Then vs M at 50p each. If 2 for £1.50 and even 95px2 vs 50px2 = £1 APG, therefore 2 for 50p. Or less if the individual price is higher. (£1.09 dream would be 2 for 22p:D, if both compared vs M.)

    I've concluded that, even if the Homepride 500g sauces went onto 2 for £3, and even with T at 60p on one version and 72p on others (and N/A on others:() they still wouldn't be worth it (or maybe they would be worth it?:think:) as individual price, which would surely have to be more than £1.50 in order that people can think they are making a saving by buying 2 for £3, is not likely to be so near to £3 as would be wished for. M is £1.59, so it's realistic that A might go to £1.59 and 2 for £3 but, even with that, it still doesn't make much sense. 2 for £3 then £1.59x2 vs 60px2, is having to buy 2 and only £2.10 back, is 2 for 90p, i.e. 45p each, hardly much saving on 10% cheaper than 60p. If it's £1.98 and 2 for £3, it would be much better, assuming we aren't caught in some price changeover at T. Google cache has them at 60p two days ago and 72p three days ago and showing on until 3/3 then, so looks like they have been consistent in T even though price graphs suggest only gone down on 8/2.

    When Google allows us to roll msm back, although sadly not to midday, it is good as A rolls forward some of its prices.

    The Pot Noodles from £1.00 (were 50p) to 4 for £3 is rubbish, as everywhere else is straight £1 now and work out much more expensive than previous 50p - avoid!

    Princes Fruit Cocktail tins, if they go onto 2 for £1, could 'see' old mbuy of 2 for £1.50 and then vs T or W at 2 for £1.50. Could be 2 for 70p, whether that's worth it or not.

    Could go with six Irn Bru the same vs T. Possibly.

    I can't see anything else, apart from the 4 pack Snack A Jacks that I had on my watch vs M. Of course, it'll be something I haven't mentioned or envisaged:rotfl:. (In fact I'd hope it was - and then one that continued throughout the whole day so I could take part after Morrisons - as nothing much takes my fancy here to be honest. Not that's worth a special journey out for to buy overnight.)

    Right now, goodbye:wave:.

    I went on a cruise with Cunard and it was mostly oldies until we got to

    Aussie and New Zealand then lots of younger couples say in their 40's

    age group and the oldies treat Cunard as if they were visiting a much

    loved and missed family friend .. I suspect lots of them were old with

    no family alive ...and loved the attention that the crew gave them

    and over 24 died during the cruise I can't remember exactly as I

    stopped counting after 24 We turned ship round and back to ports to

    drop off seriously ill and helicopters and small boats came to take

    people off the boat to shore but it is very posh on a night or very

    casual which ever way you choose to dine depicts the dress code

    I personally loved the old world elegance and standards they had on

    board but prices were shocking for hair dressers and such like on

    board


    That's terrible perky.
    I crewed on a round the world and it was only time ship didn't even have a medical emergency let alone a death.
    Mind you it was tense the last few days as crew run a cabin number sweepstakes to make the 4 month trip easier.
    yes I agree younger passenger got on the other side of world but of course they were fir to fly.
    Personally I don't like ships over 1000 passengers and adore the old style elegance of the formal evenings.
