So it costs 1p divided by the number of items you bought:rotfl::D.

I did mine - £3.53 and paid with £3.53:D:D:D:D:rotfl:.

I worked out:
6 pint milk - £1.30
SP Minced Beef Onion Pies (3 'fresh') - £1.10 (overpaid, should have got four pack frozen for 10p less:rotfl:)
Own brand Original Crispbread - 79p (too much, would have been better to put Ryvita in twos vs T, then 10% would be cheaper than own brand price per pack:rotfl:)
Left 34p.

So, two bottles of water and it's £3.53! All done.

All overpaid:( as not bothering with 10% or eight items that would see me spending an extra amount that would probably be more than the 10% on the four comparable items (Milk, SP pies and 2x Water). But, total amount of real money = zero. Plus £5+ back in new wombles (but no guarantee that that would have been the case).

But I had a banana,......it could have been 10p, 11p or 12p:rotfl:

So, SP Custard tin and a bottle of water and it's £3.53! All done.

Bingo :cool:

Thanks Everyone for the advice on how to back up my emails. Have googled and found a pictorial step by step guide specifically for my versions of Windows Live mail and Windows 7. So when I've got some uninterrupted time I'll have a go I don't know where I got the idea from that you couldn't back emails up.

Was just reading in the Halloween edition of Asda mag two different views about the clocks changing. Must admit I quite like the dark, cosy evenings. And I like that it signals the start of winter and the run up to Xmas. Then in Spring you get the welcome sign that spring is just around the corner.

Wonder if we should have a group hug for our lovely streetlights as she's faces the clocks going back and the darker nights:o......

I got two Schwartz shops this evening, all good (used A as my list). Are BM vouchers supposed to be able to be used immediately? It includes an expiry but not a start date that I could see? Till threw a wobbly anyway saying something about exceeding spend or something . All sorted manually but as my first BM (I had a voucher before then didn't notice that I only had two weeks to spend it ).

Many thanks

Thank you, so just a dodgy till then .

Must remember to go back and spend my voucher ... Must remember to go back and spend my second voucher .

You can use them immediately, but some tills have a limit on how much can be spent and require SA approval

Indeed.

Thing is I went to SS this time, in order to try to do it quickly. SA then scanned the voucher, which I'd already done:( - and numerous faffing around trying to void the duplicate scan:mad::rotfl::rotfl:. They can't be helped (sigh)!

I know - I thought about the bananas route, could have had the custard (or water) and then a couple of bananas to try to get the amount but would probably have overshot. I could have done that though. I think this is an Elite method of shopping lol:rotfl: - bananas are my favourite item too for trying to reach an odd amount:cool:.:rotfl::rotfl: Great minds...

You seem to have the same problem as me, trying to get the right priced banana:mad::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. (Eventually I give in - and just pay the 1p extra!:cool::o:rotfl:)

Actually there's less embarrassment to paying an extra 1p, saves all their struggling around (if on a staffed till) trying to work out how to cash off the APG. It's "PRESS CASH BUTTON you fools":rotfl:!:p

They're beggars those bananas are - trying to get the right size. So, I'll take it it was a bananas 'disaster' again:D and just a full penny for the banana and everything else was free.

Hi TM that would be lovely, I am heavy in heart knowing I won't see sun proper daylight again until the clocks go forward.

As anyone got any cheap tissues I can borrow whilst I sob silently.:)

I'm with you on that one. Pretty soon the only daylight I'll see during the week is when I go for a cigarette break. I won't see my chickens at all during the week cos they'll still be in bed when I go on my way to work and they'll have gone to bed when I go round on my way home from work
