    Thanks for posting, I haven't looked at COS for a while

    You have to buy 4 to get the £4 and you can do this 3 times, so buy 12 for £12 back

    it can only be done via Tesco.com and all the qualifying products are £2.20 in T but they're £1 in A so free after PP :money:

    I can't remember when I last did a PP shop, let alone an online one but I might give it a go for old time's sake. £40 minimum even for C&C though so I'd have to find £13.40 of fillers if I was doing it :think:

    I think you have to get your shop over £40 even for click and collect and also the TPP is capped at £10 so maybe just 8

    electric toothbrushes are good for getting totals up

    I've seen the slip they give you at the till now, it says this is how much that was deducted from your bill due to price promise, or something to that effect.

    But now they are only comparing brand names, so no more meal deal comparisons etc.

    so they wont compare any own brand ranges?
    and the amount you would have had as a TPP is just deducted from your bill instead of getting a TPP for next time?
    this will mess things up if you have a conditional spend to use, I expect the till will only see the value after the TPP has been deducted.
    also if this is the case there will be no more lucky finds in abandoned trolleys :(

    actually, depending on the size the "Small fluffy squeaky toy with eyes in various colours" would be good to put into the Christmas shoe boxes

    - a know its sounds mad but a toy is still a toy. I've put into boxes in previous years new and unused cat balls - the ones with a bell in the middle

    I've just done a shop against Morries (never usually do one against them!) Had to order as £20+ worth of vouchers expire 8th & they were kind (Silly) enough to give me £10 off my next 4 orders over £60!

    Sadly no After 8's available to order.
    Didn't really need anything so went for alcohol - which neither of us really drink much at all. Do like a Whyte & Mackay once in a blue moon. Need Brandy for my 2 yr old Christmas cakes - well & truly fed! Baileys for next door & may do another order for this for us.

    Baileys The Original Irish Cream1l Now £18.50(£18.50/lt) M£12.00
    3 Barrels Brandy70cl Now £17.00(£24.29/lt) M£13.00
    W & Mackay Scotch Whisky1l £18.50(£18.50/lt) M £17.00
    £54 of alcohol that hopefully will compare at £42 Morries & should get me a £16.20 APG back just on alcohol alone. Not bad if you consider that Asda gave me £10 towards the shop too. Total spend on the whole shop after APG & £10 off was £33.

    I just hope these work. Someone said the Baileys worked for them - thanks, just hoping others do too.
    I've probably missed things I should have ordered but my brain is mush due to prescription drugs.

    Wondered if any of you lot are feeling bad after the flu jab? I'm achey, sweaty (but I'm those all the time) getting breathless, stuffed up & seems like total brain fog, worse than usual.

    The boy child took "advantage" of free W10, luckily he had (well, I had) made discs so he could return to his original OS.
    Does anyone have a good word for W10 ?
    (keep it clean)

    Maybe in a year or two:o

    Thats a shame..although I have been able to get lots of points added recently from wombles where people dont have a club card...today I found 2 receipts totaling 120 points....

    I've moved to a T where I am sure English may not be the most confident language of many of the shoppers and as such they are discarding receipts all over the car park without a thought for what gems they may contain.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    My old laptop was a pain in the bum so I bought a new laptop during August the person who found my new laptop cheap online advised me to ignore W7 and download free W10 saying if I didn't like I could get W7 back.

    At first I hated W10 when I told friend why he couldn't stop :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: i had somehow got my laptop settings on tablet mode :o so got tablet mode off and told to stop messing :o I now love W10 and have had no problems with it :T:T:T

    Cant believe how slow my old laptop was even switching on and off took forever :(
