  • This is doing the rounds on twitter and was shared with me by my daughter:T

    Go onto twitter and search mcflurry (pick the 'TOP' result tab)
    You'll see a video by a Don Dada Montana @kylemontana29 who kindly shows you how to get free Mcflurry, Apple pie, Egg mcmuffin or Sugar donut using codes.

    It does work as my daughter tried it today and got 4 McFlurrys for free.

    You have to use the self serve and I would suggest one that doesn't face the tills.

    Don't know how long this will work for as it's spreading like wildfire on twitter!

    As the guy on twitter says - enjoy:D

    Can I ask if you received an invoice with this order with amounts and are there any items on the order an app or Web.?
    Sad_Dad wrote: »
    Yes, got an invoice. Got the 3 usual emails

    1 - Thanks for shopping
    2 - Order is being picked
    3 - We have an update with invoice (at this point I knew 10 sharpies were being subbed)

    Just basic groceries and the sharpies on the order.

    Ordered and collected on Friday but it took until today before it said I had collected it and I could check the APG.

    Webites says you have 3 days to claim a refund online so I may not be able to try again tomorrow and I don't want to ring.

    Just double checked my invoice and spotted something that might be causing the issue.

    All items have amounts and the totals are okay.

    The subs are mentioned first but the next two delivered items have an amount but the item description is blank.

    They were a banana and onion and have the weight and price but the item description is blank.

    Pure guess but I'm thinking the system might not like the blanks and is throwing a wobbler.

    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!

    DS2 has moved out. Very gradually over the weekend. His new place is in some sort of order. Only half an hour away, but still. :(

    I'm off to bed now. Emily is going away tomorrow :( She had a big fight with Noela earlier, I had to check Noela over for wounds but none. Mostly these sort of things are all noise and wet fur, and that's what it was, but I did have to separate them and have protected Noela by putting her in the bedroom as she feels safe in there anyway. Emily ready for sleep now so should be OK for going to bed. It is time for Emily to go, for the sake of my dogs anyway now, although I hate that she has been forced out by the incident

    Night Night all
