    If you're doing an in-store shop remember each sharpie will give £4.10 APG. So you might not want to do more than 2/3 max in each shop to avoid having to use big APG next time.

    If you can do an afternoon C&C you can usually cancel until noon. I try and do an early test shop when I can so if it doesn't compare we can cancel collections. And HD you could always reject items.

    Thanks Hillbern. It's a pleasure to be able to help in some small way. However, that was the last one on the shelf in my local. I have a day off tomorrow so I might try the larger store a bit further away.

    All being well I hope to do HD tomorrow but if in stock ill get DH to buy on the way to work...
