    You probably knew this already, but don't put yellow label RTC branded items in your T BG shop as it picks up the reduced price :mad:.

    Managed to get a few Barilla tonight but wiped out some of the saving with reduced bread :(.

    Now do I get more and enter the photo competition too ...

    Which is why I put nice cheap own label RTCs into my shopping instead. People should never put branded whoopsies or branded RTCs into a TBG (or Sains BM) shop - it's a complete no-no, unless they know for definite that the exact branded item they are buying is not sold by the competitor. You'd have to know whether the specific branded item you were buying was N/A for the competitor or not and, as the whoopsies are fairly random and you don't know, before you go to a store, exactly what will be left and what would be available, I don't see you can plan this in advance - in order only to pick up a branded whoopsie that was N/A. Unless you literally had every possible item that might go onto whoopsie or you find reduced on a long list and could check instore whether it was "safe" to buy. Does msl app. instore allow you to scan an item and check if the competitor is N/A? Even then, if it's M, I wouldn't count it on - numerous items that show nothing for M are available in M instore and you'd have to know whether the specific item you bought was or was not. I can say that the Rankin Soda Farls and Potato Farls, if you find those, are not sold by Mr A or the Cadbury chilled 2x110g Chocolate Puddings if you find those on whoopsie, so if you're targetting A it might be possible to get those. But, beyond that, I wouldn't risk anything - I'd stick entirely to own brands just to be safe.

    I once bought a Tymbark juice in T because it wasn't on msm for A for me and wasn't sold by A in my area. However, it turns out that A do stock it somewhere else in the country so it did not compare well.

    I ought to join the party really, but knowing I have to empty my larder before spring I have refrained. Pasta is not something I would keep in my stash room it gets too damp out there. And any more jars of sauce would mean divorce. :eek:

    Finally have a single layer of jars of jam and jellies. :j That's a start. :o

    Goodnight everyone. I have just printed out what may well be my last lot of Barilla coupons and I now have pasta to last me for months!

    TM did you really name one of your photos pasta a la printer?!!!

    In the first instance, the easiest thing if you actually spent money, I would go to the stores where you spent the money, ask to see the manager, explain, and see if they will call up the parking contractors and get it cancelled, or perhaps call up head offices and explain the same.
    If that gives you no joy (and do it quick, time is important), go onto the motoring board, and at the top there is a parking ticket section, get advice from there. I know what I would have done a few weeks ago, but believe there has been advances in the last few weeks, so advice might have changed. But whatever you do, DONT IGNORE IT! That method is no good any more. If you need a template letter, give me a shout, I should still have one about somewhere.

    Edit: Meant to ask, were you in D/ham on Sat night getting veg reductions?


    Not been on peppipoo for ages, what has changed? Why does ignoring not work? Thanks

    Ignoring has not worked for ages, not sure of the in's and outs, but trust me. As for recent changes, one of the companies took it to the appeals court after the 'independent' ombudsman said someone didnt have to pay, and it was over-turned, and deemed to be a lawful charge. (bits and bobs of that might be wrong, but thats the general gist as of a few weeks ago which was the last time I looked).

    For anyone that has a food bank collection point near them, the Barillas would probably be really appreciated, so why not print just a few more!:beer::beer::santa2::santa2:
