I was actually thinking today as I popped round asda they all seemed at ease the muggles
Not one of them re positioning items in their trolley
None of them seemed to be counting
Never saw one trolley stacked high with 1 particular item
No one peeling the outer leaf off a sprout for their gerbil
No one on their knees trying to reach to the back of the shelf or standing on the bottom shelf to kindly restock for Asda
No checking phones, scanning barcodes in fact it looked like a leisurely stroll just throwing random items in with no concern for size/price/old new packaging nothing :eek:
Not even a flump to be seen

Only looks that way. My mortgage amount is now in low four figures. Ill take being on my knees any day of the week

I also got a mailing (incompatible with the £4 voucher) giving me 250 bonus points in two different time periods and also telling me about their shop 'n' save promotion, which I can't find on the web. From 15-28 Feb and again from 1-14 March I can spend a total of £40 across any number of shopping trips and will get an £8 money off coupon. Does not say if it is a conditional spend one.

What on earth does one buy in Sainsbury's please, which is not a rip-off?!

There's a promotion to win Nectar points in Sainsburys between today and Saturday. Says you're guaranteed to win something and can win up to £25. I 'won 200 points for each transaction plus i got one after the first to say if i spent a bit more I'd get an extra 800 (which I did on the 2nd). Of course, you can always buy clothing that doesn't fit as the vouchers come through as separate and so won't show on the receipt

It's also working on petrol. If you need to fill up you're better off buying in batches of £20 to get extra every time

It's the first time I've been in Sainsburys for ages and agree that who would shop there normally?

Some people (savvybuyer for example) have bought expensive items in Sains that give a brand match against good offers in A5da whilst also using a conditional spend.

I'm not familiar with the rules of brand match but that info should be on page 1

I've also had a email from the, spend £20 this weekend, get a till spit with extra nectar points, everyone wins something from £1 worth upwards (or possibly only £1 worth)

Your selection of till spits and mailings looks very complicated, they are combinable if you get a helpful boy at the till

The only one that looks do-able is the
£4 wys £20 combined with 1000 points.

There is nothing you can buy in Sainsburys that is not a rip off

savvy did some very clever shops with conditional spends and brand match MOCs plus nectar points, doing a succession of £20 shops so he ended up with masses of useful shopping, mainly own brands and a few branded items for very little real money spend - this was 2 threads ago though.

I tested all of my cards on Sunday and they all produced till spits - numerous double points, small value nectar points offers for specific items plus a conditional spend for a £30 shop - unless there is a 25% off Tu clothing sale which is unlikely I wont be spending £30 in there - only £2 for Phileas fogs.

I think all of mine will end up on the PTS giveaway thread

In the olden days I got a £2 wys £20 almost every week from the till spit machine and I was very happy with this - when these stopped about 10 months ago I stopped shopping there

You do need to get 'ripped off' in order to get the BM vs A (which itself tends to be rip-off items unfortunately - round pounds or, recently, round 98ps, which are worse than the half price offers that come on elsewhere - no wonder S chose only to compare vs A and to drop T from the scheme!). You can combine rip-off brands with own brands that are very cheap compared to elsewhere (best of luck on that one:(:rotfl:).

I'll try and help if I can but not got my head back around it right at this minute. I used a lot of A r'back items in S - which I don't like at all in A (unless they then translate into a more expensive mbuy) - but the r'backs are usually very high priced, by Elite standards certainly, so need to make sure your cond spends really offset the losses that are mounting up by comparing against expensive "cheaper in A (preferably more than 10% cheaper in A)" items. I think the cond spends probably usually amount to much the same (as the 10% vs elsewhere discount from A) - probably why A does not dish them out. I much prefer roll-forwards in A itself that are much cheaper somewhere else!

You could have a look at my Mvs A list, exclude all of the own brands, to see if they are some good items on there - however it is very very out of date now (and won't be being updated) so probably best to go onto msm and look at some of the (cough) savvy buys in A. Then try the "under £1" shelf in A. Or wait for me to come up with an Svs A, which I might well now do.

Mine was with built-up Nectar points (built up over the year) which covered almost the entire cost of my shopping and with a special promotion, not available to most people, that gave a lot of Nectar points back.

Beware the BMs expiring in just two weeks - so they get you shopping again more. Might need to space out shops though in order to stretch your BMs so that you still have a BM able to use off a shop when your 1000 points eventually materialise. Or you could just spend the BM amounts (preferably on items half or more the price at A, and need 10 different ones:eek:) until you can get no more out of them and end up with 'cheapest' in S item.

Hi piscaso - I had the same scenario as you with a £4 off £20 x 6 and have struggled as hate spending 'real' money. If it is any help lots of kids' parties things very cheap and also quite a bit of lego with 75 pc off. HTH

Sorry not to have replied sooner. RL a bit too hectic. But I am very grateful for all these -- thank you. I'm putting them all here together in case it helps someone else. Now I shall ponder a shopping list!

Good afternoon Elite. Just popping on with a question...not shopping related :eek:

I started home educating dd2 just before Christmas and we've been doing really well...that was until this question on reverse percentages:

There are 6000 people at an ice hockey match.

The announcer says this is exactly 40% more people that the previous match.

Explain why the announcer is incorrect.

We've worked out the percentages and get that there would have bee 4286 people at the previous match. I don't get why the announcer is wrong! Any Elite maths geniuses out there?

Your right (after rounding) divide by 140 times 100. X
