    So, sorry M, I'm not playing your mbuy game - instead, I'm waiting for proper 'half price' offer (and even that could be beaten - one of the packs was £1.50 in Iceland a bit back then). Meanwhile, Kipling Whirls - probably best, like all the cakes, bought on 9p whoopsies than bothering with 2 for '1's or even 'half prices' - I'm sure cakes last a bit beyond their best befores! I put the figure "1" there in quotes, as the "1" that is being bought is more like the cost of two:eek: previously as it's no longer on half price. So, it's not 2 for 1, i.e. 1 being the previous "1", that was half price, but rather 2 for the double price of what was a 1 a bit before - in other words 2 for the price of 2 (compared to the price that 1 was at before the price went up, i.e. when it was last on half price offer, not that long ago). I'm only including these when they're on 'half price'. In fact, "half price" last time was 75p:eek:, but that was a bit inflated half price compared to the more usual 65p or 64p half prices on the Viennese Whirls that we used to have in M last year or the year before. Since I rejected the 75p price, as being too dear, I'm waiting for better proper half price offer once again - and, even though, current offer beating the 75p price, it's still seeing people buying twice as many (and paying more overall, i.e. £1.29 rather than 75p, although obtaining one more pack). I think I'll give this 2 for '1' a miss, and wait for whoopsie time!

    What was I going on about here?!?:huh: Bit of a riddle eh? Dear me!:eek: Someone I'm sure could reword all of that into three lines:rotfl:.

    I'm not aware that the South African stores do brand matching. They certainly didn't when I was last there, and my brother who holidays there every year has certainly not mentioned that this is now available in South Africa.

    According to this, they do - here's the website:

    http://www.picknpay.co.za/picknpay/applications/picknpay/custom/builds/2014/brandmatch/index.html

    With the usual "we shop around" for you. Yes, of course, any shop not done as a specific target is likely to be offset on the comparisons vs everywhere else and come out cheaper (people always look for items that look cheap in the store they are in and thus configure their shopping in favour of that store: Peter Lunn at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-16002303). The "we shop around" arguably discourages people from looking around for better prices elsewhere as they assume that they are getting a good deal and any difference will be refunded:wall: (after they've bought items that are cheaper in the store and therefore had that subtracted from any voucher, if they've not lost it entirely). I think, from the UK perspective, it's certain in stores' interests to try to discourage people from looking around. As I've suggested elsewhere before, if supermarkets suggest you don't need to look around and check prices elsewhere, then you definitely do need to do!

    this might be one of my dippy moments but can anyone see the dr pepper 2ltr on msm ? i can only see the zero one. currently theyre 2 for £1.85 at sada but £1 at tosco

    I mentioned this the night before:

    Together with some 'new' flavours of Tango 2L that I wondered whether they were available in A.

    What range of Fanta 2L are actually available in A? I'm just having a look at 2 for £1.85 (and £1.83 individual) offer and I only have 3 different Fantas showing on a.com. There are more on msm and a new one on a.com, Apple & Sour Cherry, clearly appears as "Special Edition" on msm. However, are there further new ones instore that haven't yet made it to a.com?

    T has Raspberry & Passion Fruit 2L and also Mango & Passionfruit 2L - each showing "---" for A on msm of course. Are they, for example, really available in A? Fanta 2Ls on £1 in T. Therefore, 1 plus 1 trigger = £1.85 and 93p back = 92p for 2 bottles, 46p each: not brilliant best ever but it would be a saving!

    Also Lilt (but not Lilt Zero) vs £1 T, and Dr Pepper Zero (but no Dr Pepper Regular in A?:think:). I'm sure one of the Coca Colas could be used as a no-show trigger (but smaller 1.75L - so avoid:rotfl:!).

    Think of the poor soul who lost this receipt, I'd say a definite targeted shop. I bet they are gutted and cursing themselves for a rookie mistake.



    Morning all by the way. Want to partake in a cereal and muller shop today if they are still working.

    Haven't been interested in the Radox shops but seeing it on Shopitize might persuade me for one shop but is Radox over now?

    Big hugs Snap, difficult times for you. If you think FourP will benefit from you being there despite what he says then go, otherwise just stay strong for him. Thinking of you hun.

    Did it have Crunchy Nut 375g on it? If it did, then it's obviously a glitch shop. If not, then, you never know, it may be random:rotfl:. (Or Savvy may be completely naive from time to time:o:o:rotfl:. However, I recognise that, so I can't be!:j:j:D)

    As for something losing it, I've lost receipts before now:o:o, real dozy soul from time to time, and as we all have our own standards I'd say finders-keepers. Look, people may or may not agree, but I could have lost one and someone else found it, or they could have lost it and I found it, same difference really - evens out fair and square. I'd just check if the voucher hasn't been generated before; if it has, I don't bother with it as it's already been claimed; if it hasn't, it's there IMO for the claiming! This one obviously wasn't me though, because I'd never have targetted Sains on the cereal bars:rotfl:.

    It looked very much like targetted candle shop. If I dropped it I'd prefer someone got the use of it but that's just me. Seemed to be a lot of concern it appeared to be targetted shop but any receipt picked up could have been used before. As was said if it asks for details it's not been printed so ok to use I'd say, if it or it prints out it's been printed before.

    Good evening everyone,

    I'm not happy, can anyone help me please. I asked at the weekend but no one knew or replied then. My eVouchers keep disappearing from my account without me using them.

    I was about to put an order in for delivery tomorrow and my eVouchers are £30 less than what they were yesterday. I've not placed an order for a week. I used a £10 eVoucher last week and I purposely did not claim the voucher for that shop until yesterday as I have suspected that my vouchers keep disappearing not not kept track until this week.

    What's happening?

    Thanks,
    Sad_Dad

    Good morning

    Sorry for the late reply but I'm not with it at the moment I've totally lost my glitch mojo, I see it's already been answered but I just wanted to add that yes this also happened to me.
    I lost about £40 a week or so ago, I keep a note of my total as this has happened before. They def hadn't expired and I hadn't renewed any. I won't be pursuing as didn't want to raise my profile however I will be using up the remainder on normal shopping and putting it down to experience.

    My husband has had a totally unfounded complaint and is not working at the moment I can't discuss any further except to say I'm working all the hours I can. Our world has totally collapsed. Unfortunately he has had enough and now just wants to emigrate :(:( not sure what the future holds for me except I've learned not to take the good times for granted as they can be taken away in the blink of an eye. Thankfully we both still have our health. Love to you all and some special xxxxx to snap-ant.
