    You will find time to use your Flying Experience Di, it's just been a case of health must come first. If you think the date is going to run out before better weather arrives to use this, contact the company as they will extend this due to the circumstances x



    I went when my uncle was alive, as an mp, had a lovely time. Very interesting time, I'm sure you will enjoy the experience :)

    They have already said it won't run out at the time I was hoping I didn't!!

    BG was more than what you were expecting? Please can you post your full TBG results in case there is some glitch that's giving us a few pounds more than we should have (or, even more than that:D:D and then seeing you, on this occasion, capped:(). TIA.

    (Just wondering on the off-chance they might have the Baileys 1L as being 1p in M on TBG:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.)

    Only managed to test the Castillero wine as all others not in stock

    6x
    CASILLERO DEL DIABLO CHARDONNAY 75CL

    £48.00 † £32.88

    Compared at the full T's price!

    Which is exactly what it should do as they can't take into account T's own category wide offer:D:T:T. This is one of the few exceptions (along with the glitchy Coke Zero) when we should buy in T and use the TBG.

    "14. However, there are some promotions that make it difficult to make a fair comparison - no matter who's running the offer. The promotions we don't include are:
    ...
    b. Category-wide - for example, ‘buy any six bottles of wine and get 5% off’..."
    https://secure.tesco.com/BrandGuarantee/TermsConditions
    [My emphasis.]

    Glad it's too difficult for them to make a fair comparison:rotfl:.

    Who is this shop against please?

    Sadly mine isn't yet.
    I got my schweppes and come today for the other account but not for this one - don't want to muddy the waters
    I had an email days ago to say my herb and spice shop from last Friday had tracked but still no sign of it. I put in a support message, no reply to that either

    But I will check both accounts again later - we live in hope

    I can't find my click snap history.Can someone remind me please where to look ? Thanks

    Good afternoon all.

    Went to M today and they didnt like the barilla vouchers....probably more to do with the individual shop than a HO thing but I was initially told that because the product is on offer at a discounted price they wouldnt accept a further discount voucher.....held my ground and told them that perhaps I should take my weekly shop to T then as they would accept the vouchers and started unloading my bags

    Before I had got to the end of the first bag...they had decided "on this occasion" they would take them....

    Roll on tomorrow with the cidre...I seem to have upst all my local retailers recently with the use of vouchers for one thing or another.

    LEJC I used 15 barilla vouchers in my local M yesterday, no problem at all, so a good stash for very little money. The Cidre vouchers, however, showed no overage as the SA entered them all manually overriding the price to show the 3x£5. Still great for free.

    My knee B...... hurts!:(:(

    I feel slightly better though because T. let me have my favourite Faustino wine for about £3.12 a bottle:D

    My brand guarantee results haven't come through on the checking system yet, but I can tell from the discount on my online shop receipt, that it compares very well to A.

    It is comparing at full price before the 25% reduction, so,
    £7-50 x6 =£45 comparing to £30 A. giving a £15 brand match. (Unfortunately it is not comparing to the offer A. 6 for £25 price):)

    There would appear to be some other wines that compare well, but I haven't had a proper look as I am happy with my Faustino!

    Thank you to one of my FB friends for the tip off!:beer::beer:

    It won't compare to the A offer as that's a category-wide promotion that is too difficult to make a fair comparison:(:(. I refer you all back to the very same rule that I've just mentioned in my last post. So, not too happy that it's too difficult for T this time:rotfl:.
