    Hi, just wanted to report that Cracker Crisps worked for me on a lunch-time shop today and I'm north of the border. I did my shop before I saw the comments about the crisps not working in Scotland so I wasn't expecting it to work but it did!

    Told you, I was probably on the wrong path again. I don't know about the failed shops earlier, then. I've no idea how the 'new' system works with updating from a.com yet, as if I ever had any idea when it was from msm before:rotfl::rotfl:.

    FYI

    i got some pear cider in morrisons today and a bottle scanned as not recognized. sa just rescanned one of the others.
    i looked at them in the car and noticed that the bc's were different. the one that expires july next year was 500ml and the ones that expire in september next year were 585ml
    so they have actually increased the size of them for the same price.:eek: (for now anyway)

    Crikey! I'd be inclined to want to return the 500ml can - and the shorter date too:(. I'm wondering whether the unrecognised one would be better though if it were also available in A - would full price on two of them (and unrecognised one - might that be unseen?, would have to look at whether the 500ml version is on a.com) be better than comparing from mbuy pricing on three, albeit you would need to buy an extra filler if your shop wasn't already over 8 items there.

    Multis still missing for me on a.com - on all but two versions. I don't think it makes any difference about Scotland or not.

    Is Terry Chocolate Orange also good for fish shoppers vs Morries? 20p cashback makes it 80p and a further 10% (10p) = 70p. Slightly beats Morries straight 75p RTC price of much earlier in the year.

    Also remember that Jacobs are on TCB too so an extra 25p ;)

    [STRIKE]I've also noticed that a few COS offers and now on TCB, and as they're different companies, I guess we can claim from both? Sorry I'm sure it's been mentioned but my search isn't working. Worth mentioning again though :)

    I got the Cloudy Strongbow from T in a v A shop, it compared to £3.90 and I'll claim £1 from TCB and £1 from Cos so £1.90 in total. I know it's not an amazing price but I'm in Scotland and we have rubbish offers for booze. :mad:[/STRIKE]

    EDIT: My double cashback theory is wrong as COS are providing the cashback through TCB :(

    so annoying the search not working properly

    thanks to the OP from earlier I got a Marks beauty Advent calendar or at least I've ordered one

    I've had these in my basket now for days but they went to half price a few days ago so I now have 3 small gifts sorted

    Floral Collection
    Mixed Candles Gift Set
    Quantity: 3
    20388454

    Just worried about how small and insignificant they will be.

    I then just put beauty calendar in the search box and added it and the discount applied so the final total came to £37.75 and 378 sparks points, free delivery to our little Marks
    I paid with some of the balance of my gift card I got when I did a First Direct bank switch using the MSE link

    Went to local Sains PFS this morning for Suns, they only had 2, was prompted for Nectar card which surprised me as spend was under £1, got till spits 640 points wys £15 on toys, plus a couple of tiny ones for things I wouldn't buy.

    So went to large S near DDs (was going to DDs anyway) and checked out the lego, then got double up to £20. The double up till gave me 480 wys £12 on towels/bed linen and £1.75 off Daz. Picked up another Sun and a loaf of bread (to use 25p off coupon) then went through till. Lego was 17.99 but 2 for £30, put my 640 points on, then gave coupon and Double Up voucher and got another pile of till spits for Yeo and gift wrap.

    Called in at their PFS for a little petrol and more Suns just to see but got no till spits at all at that one.

    Not bad overall though. Spent 2000 points (and £11) and back up to 939 already. x

    They're the valassis ones, you need to download their coupon software before you print them (same type as the Barilla ones).
    Thanks, they are ok with my pc, saves me moving the laptop. :beer:
