    6x Maltesers Chocolate Tube 75g £6.00£4.50


    Worked gave an APG of £1.95 against Sainsbob. Actual Cost £4.00


    A bit misleading as they are the oblong Xmas cartons NOT Tubes as stated on APG. Did note that the Tubes contain 100g. (Sounding like Savvy now!)

    Mine say 75g. :(Have I been short-changed again and this time bought some non-appearing trigger, nine times over?:mad: I don't know what you mean sorry as I'm not aware of cartons but only know about Christmas tubes. I have been misled: next time, APG tell us which product to buy:mad:. I've got what was stated on the APG and on a.com - unfortunately I did not see the post as I'd already left for A. The Maltesers 75g tube ones (at least I think I've got tubes), alone, scanned at 3 for £2.

    In a way, you contradict yourself as you say they are cartons not tubes but then note the tubes are 100g. I assume you bought 100g cartons rather than tubes?

    re T's Orchard, just had an email, anyone who chose the prosecco sponge to try and got that voucher-they are also sending us the christmas pudding voucher next week because the prosecco is selling fast and proving hard to get hold of...so we can report back on either.

    Thanks for trying and I am so pleased it worked!:beer:
    I always worry about posting potential, untried glitches incase they don't work, as I am then very :o:o:o:o:o

    Dont be daft squigs, we are all able to make up our own minds and there's always someone around who's happy to give it a go:)

    I was able to put on a fabulous tombola at a work event today without buying anything. Just had to be careful as one or two things were out of date. Didn't want to poison anyone:eek::rotfl:

    Just preparing some food for DS coming home for the weekend:T

    Bought my first Barillas today without any problem at all. Used 2 different accounts and got a £4 off £30 on a card that I've never used for ages and a £3 off £20 on my regular card.....will go lovely with the £3 dairy coupon

    Someone needs to tie my hands behind my back otherwise it could well be if I order anymore. :eek:

    Come on people put me out of temptations way, mystery reds and whites are back in stock and I have one box down to £2.75 bottle with the codes. But I really have reached saturation point, and I don't want to lose my head chef. :o

    Plus we have just been not very :money: and spent out over a £1000 on four holiday festival tickets today :eek:, I would much rather be going back to Turkey next year but Mr TS is having none of it and don't think the girls want to go again. :( So this will be my holiday next year it will not compare at all. :rotfl:
    Now if I really believed you didn't want to buy wine...........
    You are now making me want to order:eek:
    Yay:j:j:j:j

    Good Afternoon :)

    I didn't try for the Adele tickets my son doesn't like her.

    He went seeing the Prodigy last Friday and said they where fantastic :)


    I saw the Prodigy in Vienna in 1997 I think it was.


    they must be getting on a bit, they weren't so young even back then

    Not much luck on the wombling today.I don't want too many anyway.Decided to give some away and spread the others over until february.I'm just using 5 accounts.Mine and 4 other people who said I can use their details.

    I did see a packet of bacon on top of a bush but left that for the animals:rotfl:

    Also found a sainsbugs bm for £2.70.Am I right that I can use this and that it is not linked to some ones account.
