    That's unusual! We weren't the cheapest this time

    Not that unusual, when you have an expensive 2 for £3 mbuy compared to somewhere else's straight £1 price.

    1x Pedigree Jumbone Mini with Chicken and Rice Chews (180G) £1.50 £1.00
    1x Muller Corner Peach & Apricot (150G) £0.68 £0.70
    1x ASDA Chosen by You 2 Custard Slices (2PK) £1.00 £1.20
    1x Pedigree Jumbone Mini with Beef (4PK) £1.50 £1.00

    The place with £1 is Sains. of all places! Morries is also expensive 2 for £3 at the moment, whilst T manages to sell them for £1.40 each. Waities is worse, with £1.58 price but only compares on the Beef version.

    Which raises the point...completely irrelevant pursuing, of why W is more expensive than T despite the T brand price match. "You won't pay more!" It excludes T promotions (so you will pay more there:rotfl:), however the Pedigree beef is not showing as any offer or promotion price on t.com: instead it appears to be T's standard price. The reason promotions at T aren't matched is because W follows its own schedule of promotions and therefore the W promotional offer takes precedence. Here, it's 2 for £3 - Waities just don't stock Chicken version. However, the T price isn't a promotion and therefore it should be price matched? I understood it to mean they matched all T's brand prices on the shelf, excluding T promotional offers. (So, if it's on bogof at T, then W won't offer the second one free and the message W sends to me is that you should shop at T:p!) Maybe they just haven't caught up with t.com, but, still, it means W shoppers (assuming they are being charged £1.58/2 for £3 instore) are paying more than T. They are supposed to match T prices, except promotions. Unless that has been discontinued by them but the information is still left on their website. Apparently, alcohol is excluded from W's price match because W is a responsible retailer - keep trying to find various ways of not offering as good a price as T:rotfl::rotfl:!

    Anyway, I wouldn't want to price match T's £1.40 here, as S is £1.

    That's the theory anyway.

    I had my 7x 30 packs of original finish @ £3 each subbed for 1 pack of 30 lemon @ £12!:eek:
    Needless to say that was rejected!:rotfl:

    That's crazy. I ll just tick no subs I suppose. It's all too much for me lol. Years ago I was at the top of my game like henlans but am an old lady now :)

    I don't know if this works anymore as I haven't done this for a looong time.

    But seen as nobody else knows this, why not share.

    Back when tesco took unlimited MOCS, it was very profitable.


    Basically couponnet would install a registry item in your pc that would track which coupons you had printed. I tried virtual machines, i tried restore points none of them worked.

    How I did succeed was I got my old legitimate copy of windows xp on a flash disk and installed multiple copies of windows on an old pc... 24 copies say.

    I could boot into each copy and each copy would allow me to print 2 more couponnet coupons. Thereby mitigating the 2x coupon restriction.

    They may track via IP address now, (which can be changed by turning on and off your modem), or via email (which can be changed), or via registry (which can got around with multiple window instances. That was my method.


    After I had used the 24 permutations of windows, I would format the hdd and reinstall 24 copies, rinse and repeat.
    Enjoy.

    VMs work just fine if you disable some of the monitor functions and name Disk0 something other than DiskVMware_Virtual_IDE_Hard_Drive :whistle:

    ...or so google tells me :rotfl:

    It will be about 3 or 4 hours and you should then be able to check and claim your evouchers. if you paid £3, it will compare £12v£6 on the APG.
