Typical lateness again:( but I have only just checked this receipt.

This:
1x McCoy's Ridge Cut The Classics (6x28.5) £1.45 £1.00

(on 2 for £2, at least it was yesterday) appears to be causing an OOS glitch. For example, it was bought with this:
1x Walkers French Fries Variety Snacks (6x18g) £1.45 £0.75

Prices on both are vs T. However, this was yesterday (2nd February), although, if this McCoy's trigger is still available on 2 for £2 instore, it may work as invisible if it drops off entirely (obviously won't be as good). BC ends 12157 and missing digit. Otherwise I assume the Twiglets may still be available as an alternative (although they are/were invisible so won't help give additional APG in themselves, whereas the McCoy's might, if they are still on the comp. today and haven't yet been OOS on a.com for too long).

It may be that there are other McCoy's packs that might be visible triggers at present. Surely A has other flavours than classic? This one above is a 6 pack, according to the description on the comp., but I can see no 6 packs at all on a.com, only 5 pack products. So, all of the McCoy's 6 packs may be triggers, if A has any such others in store (and would need to be versions sold by T on t.com to get any comp., if they have not yet gone invisible).

I think the McCoy's Classics and French Fries combo. should work out at about 34p each. If they had bought correctly rather than buying some items that are much more expensive at T, grrr:mad:. APG should be about £1.32 from the two items (although they did contribute roughly that amount, I got barely more than that due to them buying items that are dearer at T!).

Bump - has anyone tried this glitch today spotted by Savvy?

I got loads more poo this afternoon but the aussi mini dry shampoo did not work though the SA tried really hard. I got some premium poo this time and paid a bit but now I shall keep getting the 75p stuff and take it to the food bank.

SA did try to use more than one coupon in a transaction but that didn't work and they have to be one per transaction.

I took all my petrol ones to CS and asked them to be added in one go because i knew the instore tills would reject duplicates. The woman said i had to do 7 separate shops to claim the 7 vouchers

I politely explained the t&cs to her :cool:

She then muttered "you're only supposed to do 1 petrol fill"

So i politely explained the t&cs to her :rotfl:

She then added the vouchers in one go for me :cool:

She had been going to America but as she couldn't prove how she would pay her medical bills so they wouldn't let her in so she was packed off back to Nigeria. Became ill on plane as diverted to London.
She had family in America but none of them would have been able to pay her medical expenses.
Not unavoidable as really shouldn't have been travelling at 6 months pregnant with quads to a country she had no right to enter.

Must have been traumatic for her and bless only 2 babies still living.

I have managed to use up 2 toiletry items, even if they were only trial sizes:rotfl:
I've not been tempted by Mr Shoes (yet!) but there is one mear the Sainsbobs I will be visiting a few times tomorrow.

In addition to needing to seriously reduce the number of toiletries and cosmetics I have I also need to seriously cull clothes and shoes!! The amount of 'stuff' we have in this house has reached critical mass:eek:
I made a start today and have thrown out 4 pairs of socks and 2 pairs of knickers, I have also 'gifted' 4 pairs of new knickers (well if you could call them that, they were more like dental floss) to my young neighbour who wears knicks with no bum!
I did buy 3 new things, courtesy of a few APGs at A's on Tuesday though...
In terms of weight/spaceit's not a win, but in terms of numbers it is.
Also on Tuesday I returned the fleece I bought from M&S unfortunately I forgot my receipt and ended up with a credit note:o

That made me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you must have wanted them to buy them in first place

Don't know if anyone has answered. If there isn't a queue, I just go back and buy another £10 of fuel.

Dinner is in the oven

I did this, I do remember someone saying last time (didn't take part as was sunning myself on hols but defo remember someone on here saying) every 5th transaction in a petrol station was giving out 5,000 points, but this was last time. I used the same cashier twice today and the same N Card. Used DHs on the other till for other transactions and only won 200 :rotfl:

Thank you, preparation was worth it

3 x 200 points for me. I will pop back and get 3 more vouchers later this evening before fizz.

Anyone know if you can get wine and beer to make up your £10 (I know spirits will be excluded.)

Yep, bought Carling 4 packs for cash back from Carling Tap to pad out my spends and points spat out as expected

The 40 pack of Whiskas casserole are good value at £9.90 each, only need a piece of veg to add to them . There's a huge stack of these in the entrance of my store. I bought them as just lately Stanley Boy eats anything

Dd 2 has been in Nottingham all week , without the children she misses them so much but is coming home today . She has been a defence witness in a very sad case, that looks like it will end badly, and destroy 2 families for ever . so very upsetting for her .

I have been in Notts court all week..... I bet I have spoken to her as I tend to talk to everyone... even the ones from the back of beyond!

My S shop:

5 x £10 of fuel yielded 2000, 2x500, 2x200 so even if it was a bit more expensive, that comes to £17.50 in points without double up. Well worth doing and I hope that I might get another tenner in on Sunday.

Instore shops yielded: 3x200, 1000, 5000 = £33 -- can that be right please?!

I used 2 pants vouchers (well worth it as one of the shops was the one which gave me the 5000 voucher), re-bought a posh loo brush in the sale as it had reduced (I bought it in the sale for £8, SEL £6, scanned at £3.60 -- will take it back with my original receipt), bought shopping which I needed and which was cheaper or the same price in S, including a joint for the weekend (reduced which made it sensible to buy). Also bought things which I needed which gave me extra points (eg broccoli) and bought two £10 plus bedding/clothes items which I shall return.

The biggest disappointment was discovering that I can't use my gift card at the petrol station. I was also told I can't use it for gift cards though it doesn't actually say that on the back so I might just try it unless someone knows that it doesn't work please?
