Morning

Might be old news here but Tesco now sale m&s gift cards ,Amazon and John Lewis and with an extra 75 points per £25 spend, so worth getting in preparation for Christmas also if anyone uses the zeek app they have 3% off the Tesco gift cards ( small amount to some but if you are buying anyway it's still a saving). So buy Tesco gift card to use in Tesco to buy other gift cards

Just too late for me. I am fairly certain I checked this before a friend bought an Apple Watch from JL... Ah well, win some, lose some...

I was thinking that the Bicycle wines would be 2.63 if T matched M multi buy??????

I did two wine purchases last evening at around 7:30pm...Hardy's Merlot/Chardonnay...It worked fine...Thank you to the OP....stocked up for Xmas...:T:T

Yes those two wines will work ok as they do not rely on brand matching for the bigger discount. It is the 25% off and then the 2 for £9 offer for them.

It's the ones like Faustino that are £7.50 a bottle in Ts and £5 in As, used to BM first and give £2.50 discount and then take the 25% discount off the £7.50 too. This is no longer working as it is taking the 25% off first and then BM the lower price to As so a very small BM and in fact making it same price as As.

Just to say I have not tried this myself only from what hippychicky posted yesterday that it didn't work with the couple of branded wines she bought and also what I have read on various parts of HUKD that were promoting the 25% off yesterday.

Hi
I think people are getting confused re the wine.
The double discount is still working.
The brand guarantee did not work for me yesterday because Tesco have found a way to compare the reduced price of the wine and not the full price as we have had previously.
So they would only compare the 25% off price of the wine against morries, and that is IF they pick the morries price up from the website at all.
Happy to be corrected

That's the way I see it too, no idea when Morries prices/offers get picked up I don't take enough notice. Savvy would know.

But as you say it will only match the discounted price now so probably just make it the same price as Morries anyway.

How much are they in Ts at the moment I think they may have glitched this price the old way Ts worked it but I don't think from what I have read we would be that lucky anymore.

Well it's not a good morning here. :mad:

Our bin collections changed from beginning of October to alternate weeks for our rubbish and recycling bins. So last week was our recycling and this week should have been our rubbish bin. :eek:

I went round house yesterday evening and emptied all the bins inside and told Mr TS who always puts the bins out, but he forgot and by the time I took DD to work they had already been.

It is only a small bin and is now full and not being emptied for another 2 weeks now. :mad:

Can't remember, when you collect things from M&S do you need a printout or just your name?

Wish I had known about those fleeces, didn't get on the net a lot on holiday. There is no way I would change it though.

Don't need a print out, but I take my order number(s).

After Eights £1.50 in Ts ends today. I got a couple in Ts last night to notice end date and I noticed someone had it price matching on their As shop. It has already gone back up to £3.50 on Ts groceries.
