    Morning all (just about! :D)

    Finally a free weekend in the Arthien household so just trying to catch up on all the household jobs that have been neglected over the past few weeks. Looks like another beautiful day so hopefully a chunk of it will be spent in the garden with a cold glass of something, once the chores are done :beer:

    I'm considering attempting my first ever A order :eek: as I actually use those sharpies, and my understanding is they work out at 90p each after APG? Any help is gratefully received, I don't have a clue what I'm doing with it :o Do I just order 10 sharpies and 10 A smart price things, or low quantities of 10 different veggies? I don't want to waste all my cash on things we won't use or that I could have got cheaper elsewhere. Do I mark 'no subs' or accept subs? And if they provide subs, do I accept or will I be charged differently or will it affect the APG value? Do I order for collection tomorrow afternoon and cancel if early shops say it's finished?

    Since going back to work I've missed out on loads of glitches, I only got the tail end the boots nappies and that was it so I really need to get my shopping mojo back as our food bills have gone sky high the last 2 months!

    Happy Mother's Day to all, and special thoughts for those with missing :A today

    Yes , but dont use smart price bacon as that compared on a womble 99p v £3.49 but all the tins/packet/jar stuff i used has been ok , peps max was good too but need to be checked, if they bring a replacement you can keep if you want as the order goes on what you ordered so you would still get apg hth

    Thanks Bubbs for confirming we can buy multiples of Yardley etc in one shop. The only store near me which is open today had just enough stuff for me, but no hand cream sadly. But for a spend of just under £22 I got 3350 points as I had 200 wys £20 voucher and 150 wys £15 on the card.

    Shame stuff is usually expensive in Boots as I've loads of points now! What do people buy there please? I tend to buy meal deals which work refunds, but wonder what else might be good to buy.
