    Anyone that has done a shop and paid while BG was down can claim a voucher online.


    Tesco, Hi Trouty old Boy,

    I'm sorry you experienced an issue with Brand Guarantee, we've been advised that is was down for 3 hours and should now be up and running.

    If there was any issue with it being calculated or deducted please check the Brand Guarantee website where it will ask you to enter your email address. If you would have saved money a voucher will be emailed to you in 48 hours smile emoticon

    I hope this helps.

    Kind Regards

    This may be good news as, if people pay full T prices (or full T offer prices) because of a temporary error, they may be able to use cond.spends like the old days? They can then get the voucher off their next shop - hopefully a shop of the same value of the voucher after a lot of meal deals have been included within it:D.

    I forgot that as well!:o:o
    So buy two other sides, lose £1.78, so it brings BG down to £19.26, so 6 deals costs £10.74 making each one £1-79.

    Are we correct now?:)
    or just get half of carrot for 5p :D:rotfl:

    i relate to the fun of working it out though.

    Could have saved myself £1, I thought £2.50 was a bargain!

    Jacobs crackers 900g tub £1.50

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/jacobs-selection-crackers-900g-1-50-sainsburys-2370046

    Clearly not - the prices we are willing to pay are too high:(. I don't know why I thought 2 for £6:eek: on offer before Christmas on these was any good. The McVitie's Family Circle 720g have now gone down to £1.50 in M (they've already gone OOS online for A and I doubt they'd have compared on the APG anyway as it is a very rare store (may be yours:D) that has any stock of these left in M) - still too high though as 700g 'value' biscuits are £1 in Aldi:rotfl:.

    I am really not going to bother with any sweets, snacks, chocolates or biscuits in the run to Christmas 2016 - they are all way cheaper afterwards. I'll think I'll move Christmas to early January:rotfl:. My Smarties Christmas tube - 75p:( in S before Christmas - later went on 50p RTC in M afterwards. Only consolation is that I haven't found any stock of that in M - I assume it may be still available in some M somewhere as some of the other Christmas tubes are available elsewhere - but, with the Smarties tube being bigger (not as big as it was - but bigger in comparison with the others), I suspect it's nearly all been snaffled up! Best of luck on that one (or two - there's also Pink Smarties as an alternative) - you may find it very hard to find in M now - that said it might immediately be in your store! Probably if the store left some stock out and forgot to put the 50p RTC labelling near it:rotfl:.

    The extremely observant (or those that watch my M list obsessively) may have noticed the Bassett's Jelly Babies carton disappeared from the list on Wednesday, then got added back on again within the last 24 hours. That was just because they had disappeared without trace in the stores I happened to check on Wednesday. I thought they really had gone. For other reasons I decided to see if there was some other reduced stuff available elsewhere and found another M that, although it has no stock, suggested that there is still some stock available elsewhere. I have since found that this is indeed the case! So, if the Bassett's Jelly Babies at 75p were always in your store yesterday (maybe with an incorrect £1.96 SEL:rotfl: or maybe not), you'd have been bemused - if you were watching closely - that I'd deleted them from my list. That was just because they were in your store all along, but me, from afar, was having trouble with them in my own stores:rotfl:. I think every store at the moment will have additional items that aren't on my list! If you can't find any, I've probably visited your store:rotfl::rotfl::doh:.

    I noticed that the Pepsi 30 cans packs, that were £5.87 on Wednesday, have gone down further in price in M:D. The £5.87 price was good to begin with (£11:eek: in A - though, really, you should not look at that expensive price - that's just because A doesn't have an offer on it) - they are now £5 in M. You'll be quite unlucky if you don't have them in your M - I've found a further two Ms and both of them are in stock and have the new offer label up.

    M list has been updated with new items, mainly reduced, that I found. The Pedigree 6 pack dog food tins, and indeed some of the Butcher's 6 packs and the Winalot 6s, are on £2.43. That was a good price in itself, without any glitch. However, you'd only buy them if they are glitching as otherwise you'd paying too much! I'm leaving the Butcher's (this excludes the "Superior" ones that aren't on offer) and the Winalot off the list, as I assume they aren't glitching. I've actually done a proper job this time and I've put the Pedigree tins onto the list - fwiw as the glitch is probably about to end!

    Morning all :wave:

    Was so tired last night I fell asleep just after 8, now wide awake with my last shift ahead of me (a mere 13.5 hours). Going to try and squeeze in a batch of cupcakes before work (making not eating :rotfl:). Hope you have lovely Fridays :)

    SSM the football is an FA cup match between Watford and Newcastle. DH likes it well enough but isn't that bothered about going, but knows I'd snap your hand off for a ticket. He also knows it will keep him in the good books for a long time:D
    Wish I hadn't abandoned my shopping in T now, although I would have struggled to get it into the freezer.
    You need another freezer
    :D

    I love you too....I remember once standing in a queue and the girl in front said to her man, "but you can't have everything"....I tapped her on the shoulder and said "oh yes you can, I have "!!
    Don't get me wrong, I'm poor and manage my life on a pittance but there is always a plan, and my sil says that at least I try ....is this really the person who was moping on here at 6am lol. (I bounce back quick too) xxxx

    I think alot of us feel that we have everything because we are not ruled by materialistic things( just freezers full of food ) i n the past I have tried to explain glitches to people but they don't seem interested but then constantly moan that they have no money etc. Why do people not realise that you get out of life what you put in! In my last job I worked with five other women who moaned constantly about having no money I used to try to explain to them that each one of them only worked 16 hours a week which wasn't helping but none of them wanted any more hours and when holiday cover was available nobody wanted to do it:mad: they couldn't see the connection between working hard earning more money equals better quality of life. Get a second job I suggested to the worst moaners you would have thought I'd suggested them running through town naked! I left in the end I cannot cope with people who moan but aren't prepared to try and help themselves.
    Wendy you're right what a difference a day makes this time yesterday morning you were concerned and upset about the horrors at your work and by the end of the day you were entertaining us all with photos of your house and that is what is so special about the elite. I was overwhelmed over Christmas and new year that people offered company on here for those who were having a quiet Christmas.
    I have certainly been touched by everyone's kind words over the last six months and would like to say a huge thank you to you all.

    Right enough of that this early in the morning :rotfl: I'm glad I didn't cancel my meal deal shops for the weekend as it looks as though we are still good to go:j

    By the way good morning :)
