:(Not a good idea to buy 'reduced to clear' items - that don't appear as "Reduced", as store-specific whoopsies, on a receipt and therefore appear on a comparison - as they are likely to be higher priced at the competitor if it has them (I know I mention how "RTC" items can be even cheaper elsewhere but, I suppose, if we're getting them and think the RTC is that good a price for us to be getting, then it's likely it is going to be much more expensive elsewhere if the competitor has it - it's a risk being run anyway).

You wouldn't have needed the cherries on that shop, as had enough items without them anyway, so could have bought them on a separate shop by itself. However, I keep putting additional items on my shops these days (especially given the other risks I'm taking:eek: - hoping for so much cheaper elsewhere and including 'glitch' items, I don't want it to fail at first hurdle and not have enough items at all - I just keep chickening out these days:( - and then put an item in - but what if it doesn't appear:think: and then put another item - what if that one doesn't count either and I therefore exclude it? - and, I know when I'm in the store, the items I pick up sometimes that were never in my intended shop:mad::(:rotfl::(...).

It's versus Sains.:mad: that is the problem for me - since I know, if I'm being "forced" to use that comp., due to one or two good items or the few items I get that miraculously compare best against there, anything I pick up, that I haven't fully researched in advance, is almost bound to be so much more expensive when compared to there!:mad::rotfl: (I wouldn't pick anything up unless it looked good - and that is also part of the problem as something like that is very likely going to be more expensive elsewhere!)

Well, Boots have very kindly refunded me 25% of the price paid for So ? because one of the boxes was not in cellophane (couldn't be exchanged as OOS so I said I'd keep it.)



I think that's fine. x

I've had no bother putting through 5 every shop of 5 packets. It seems to be more acceptable that its points and not cash off.

Any non-cidre drinkers winning 4-packs might find this useful. I noticed 4-pack Cidre and Lager are the same price at Morries (£3) so I chanced it and bought lager. The receipt just says 'Carling' and it worked a treat. They even payed £4.

They will have recording of all your conversations, I'd go to the ombudsman. Not much help to you but they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it!
