I was trying to figure this out

There are 4 versions with green labels - which are 50p in sada but according to mysupermarket mr T does not stock them

but anyway I think the MOCS are for the non green labels - not that I suppose it really matters anyway as they are both crosse and blackwell

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=crosse%20and%20blackwell%20soup

I just got 4 of the best of british ones today as mr t has a 5 for £3 offer which would have interfered with the brand guarantee

I am thinking that if I do bread and soup as soon as OH strolls through the door in the afternoon after work then I might be able to stop the incessant biscuit eating (and crumb dropping) OH seems addicted to. Well that's the theory anyway.

Today though my actual real spend was so little the soups went straight into the food bank trolley.

My store def accepted 4 u&g MOCs but I got 5 boxes - this is very puzzling.

was it green label tomato soup you got - its matched the sada 50p price - I was confused as mysupermarket said it did not stock them but obviously it does

I got 5 u n g and 3 mocs, yes they only had the green label tomato and comparss too 50p

Are people printing the U&G MOC from the metro or originals from the paper newspaper? And if printed, are they scanning and processing now?

Many thanks

Anon

Is there a time limit between the account being opened and when you can switch in to qualify.
It took so long for mine to open I gave up and saved none of the details

30 days from account opening if I have read it right, but still worth?a punt if they don't play nicely.

I am bumping this up as I was going through my Q clciksnappy list and found these for £2 cashback
Reese's pieces sharing pouch 297g

I cant see them on mysupermarket but on Tesco.com they are £3 - sainsbobs has them for £2.50.

Possibly it might be worth an experiment

!!!!!! v sainsbobs

6 Hipp, 4 soup, water, 2 u&G or more depending on how many MOCs your store accepts plus plus for Q Reese's pieces sharing pouch 297g and the cod???
and various filler items
u&g - its not listed on mysupermarket and my Sainsbobs store has then on clearance for 70p so maybe its worth risking adding a couple of flavours so you get the "at least 10 items" ??? From my receipt today they came up as na so they should be Ok but it depends on your store if its takes 3 or 4 MOCS.

from todays rec Mr !!!!!! thinks sainsbobs only sells one version of Hipp so best to stick to this one type to get added brand guarantee - £1/80p
HIPP ORG APPLE, STRAWBERRY & BANANA 100G

The original picture was of your living room.... rather swish.... now looking forward to more pictures!

I wish:eek: I think the original picture I put up by mistake was a Mr Ted one of my birthday balloons and cake in centre parcs spa room. This is the style I am hoping to mould my new house into though.
Looking for a huge round rug if anyone see one. Needs to be plain and big.

Today I have been sorting out my kitchen cupboards as now new one is in I have a bit more room. I now have a dedicated tassimo shelf:)
