    Are these still available? I got a few last year but then the bar code on the box changed in my stores - are the cheaper ones (1p) back in store or just a few lurking boxes?

    Many thanks

    Has anyone tried the latest Dove Advanced shampoo?
    I don't have Adsa near me, but wanted to try it. Just wondered why the shampoo is so pricey ? :)
    I have seen some on ebay, but no good offer for me 3 bottles for £9.99, as they are £2.99 in Boots. Any recommendation of 'flavor'/bottle colour?
    Thank you

    Went to As to look for the £1 washing stuff David. reported earlier to continue our personal longstanding wash war. Afraid he won this time no washes to add to my stash. :(

    Lots of empty shelves with "new" SELs though. I don't remember seeing any RTC ones the other day when I went looking for the cheap wine either.

    Thought would be rude not to restock my handwash as the keter shelves in the garage have a gap for a few bottles but if it APG works I must remember to use it. :o

    You got banned? What happened?

    I'm more comfortable doing a CC as APG get commented on when they're not even that big. Am dreading using one for £11. Yes I am a wimp!

    How many have got rid of an awkward voucher in store?

    I had one some weeks ago (well into double figures) - I couldn't use my fav. SA as it turned out they were not there (and not worth trek back home only to come back on a later date when they were). SA (at SS) even said they'd have to check with CS!:eek: They went off to CS - literally a few feet away - even flashed the receipt at them and they said it was okay. SA was saying that was a good saving lol:rotfl::rotfl:. Yes it was, something like £13 back off the £12 dwasher tabs:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I had another £13+ one earlier, that I thought was quite big. I was lucky though - SA's response was "Oh, I've seen ones a lot bigger than that before!":rotfl: Oh, alright then, a mere £13 is easy to spend!

    I was 'trouted' before, a long time ago, been very very careful ever since, over one for a few quid that came off a small shop. £13 ones are fine, but £3.00 and those are the ones you need to watch!:rotfl: Apparently the SA thought had seen people doing really big shops and getting a couple of quid back, so couldn't believe that anyone could get more than a few pence off a smaller shop! They accepted it, "reluctantly", "this time".

    Of course, my "£13 is fine, £3 watch it" isn't any guide - the apparent inconsistency is instead simply the haphazardness of which person you happen to deal with and what their reaction/approach is.

    It's as if the database that matches up each non-exactly matching products has been left to expire...

    Maybe msm have not been supplying it since A seem to have ended their relationship with them and that data is now on file as OOS.

    The end is nigh!

    Just thinking that the system is evolving and we probably aren't seeing the finished product. Hopefully we will see where we are soon enough:cool:

    It is odd that they would live test like this in the market and risk losing trust in their comparison system (and the wrath of T, S, M who will jump on any jiggery-pokery to claim false advertising). It is not as if the basic concepts behind the system such as comparing the different items needs testing - they know how it works and what they are trying to achieve.

    It may be that there was a system down (MSM was reported down earlier?) at the time that it pulled through the data into the APG - therefore it has the result we are seeing. Nothing intentional, just the same "error" of data timing that we rely on for multis not to be pulled through?

    Another theory to add to the theories!

    Just added the Garnier moisturiser 24h to my C+C for tomorrow morning.

    Can't remember who suggested it but hopefully it works. I ran out 2 days ago :)

    Its worth you tubing - I did. Think the purple is for aged, blue is if your hair is flat and gold for dull hair.

    I tried the purple, not too impressed with the shampoo but the moisturiser was OK. Left hair a bit flyaway and hard to style but I will try again with less conditioner. I hammered it cos it felt stripped from the shampoo.

    So after one use I will use this for work days when I wash and save the good stuff for weekends.

    These exact packs of 4 dish brushes were 12p pack in Superdrug today. Found in clearance no SEL and main household section with SEL.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Keep-Handy-Brush-Set-Pack/dp/B004WINQKC

    The amazon price is for 8 packs, which coincidentally I managed to get the same for 96p. :D

    Note: Superdrug's own were £1 and they looked exactly the same except for silver handles.
