Hi, just been to try. Bought the correct Carex (7750) plus 2 x Sanex's but the 3 for £3 discount didn't come off unfortunately. Found one random Carex in my store and it went through as £1 so couldn't even confirm it was in the 3 for £3

Sounds like you've had as bad a shop as me:(. There are no Sanex handwashes available at all in any A that is realistically available to me. They do not stock them in any As I can reasonably get to, so that's a 'glitch' if indeed it is that is unavailable to me. They didn't even have any Carex triggers in the stores. So - instead - we desperately need some essential items that are ever so expensive and never glitch:mad: - I ended up doing a shop without any glitch at all vs T. Absolutely useless as standard 10% gives virtually nothing back on a lot of items on which they are simply price-matched and you have to get the T offers (many of which are still really expensive, i.e. £1 or over) in order to get any difference.

My first failed shop for a couple of years though - as I picked up the Mars Advent Calendar:( (I even wanted Maltesers version but store didn't even stock that!). Of course T had a useless flash offer for a week - I thought it was on longer than that - and the beggars have put the price right up. It will definitely compare £2vs £2.79:( and the shop probably fail on much else as well. I was originally going to use a couple of frozen items that we could need, such as SP Breaded Chicken Burger and Fish Portions, as our freezer is emptying fast - but then - styles of Sains. BM - thought that it would be better to delay those until the next shop, and then have enough items for that, as they give next to nothing back. Rather than buying them now and reducing my voucher down more. Instead I picked up the Mars Calendar at £2, hoping it would add £1.10 - to be able to buy the next items - but instead it'll subtract even more than the SP items would have, very little, given.

So - a waste of time and money! Oh well, never mind. Just a timely warning to anyone that was thinking the Advent Calendars were still on - they are right back up in price again at T after so short a time - I am :mad: at T about this more than at A:rotfl::rotfl:!

I know - I should have got the own brand Air Freshener thing - but we have absolutely no use for it. Instead, I'm getting useless items like Advent Calendars, that we don't really need, instead of feeding the family (with expensive, useless items that never have a glitch and they never put on really really cheaper elsewhere:mad::rotfl:).

I think it's GC weekend thing again - in other words time for me to have another failed November shop that wipes out entirely any extra amount they had added to my GC a couple of days ago! I think I had a failed shop a previous November - I am jinxed with them. Need to avoid the stores after my 'bonus' as I'll immediately throw it away and more on a shop done afterwards just like I did a year or so ago about this time of year if I recall.
