    I didn't think I would get many, I thought it was too early in the day. It seems like I've picked the right time (apart from the fact I probably could have got many more if I'd been around three hours later - but maybe they would not have been good?:think:) and now looks like people had just finished their shopping and left their receipts as I'd arrived. I think it helps being 45 minutes later than everyone else:rotfl:. It's scientifically exact. The fact it takes me longer to do some things - or I get distracted and then end up being a bit later than many people - seems to have helped.

    I'm sure there will be wombles from time to time at your store. I don't usually get this many at the time of day I was there today - I got a few more than I was expecting to find. You just need to be there at the right time.

    :(49p.

    Would have been much better if they'd not have bought the L'Oreal!

    7 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda sainsbury's
    1x ASDA Goat's Cheese (120G) £2.00 N/A
    1x L'Oreal DE Wrinkle Expert 55+ Calcium Day Pot (50ML) £5.00 £6.50:mad:
    1x Pink Lady Apples (1KG) £3.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Strong & Absorbent Patterned Kitchen Rolls (2 ROLL) £1.20 N/A
    1x ASDA Chosen by Kids Yummy Yellow Bananas (8PK) £1.17 N/A
    1x Lactofree Mature Cheddar Cheese (200G) £1.78 £1.80
    1x ASDA Greek Style Natural Yogurt (500G) £1.00 £1.00
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Diced Carrots & Swede (500G) £0.50 £0.50
    2x Arla Lactofree Fresh Milk Semi Skimmed (1 LTR) £2.68 £2.00
    1x ASDA Essentials Massage Sponges (2PK) £1.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Red Seedless Grapes (500G) £1.50 £1.50
    Comparison total (compared products only) £12.46 £13.30
    cheaper +£0.84

    Vs M
    1x L'Oreal DE Wrinkle Expert 55+ Calcium Day Pot (50ML) £5.00 £10.00:eek:

    I was hoping the £5 L'Oreal might have been cheaper elsewhere at the time I saw the receipt, but obviously not:(.

    I don't know whether I'll bother with that 49p. I have claimed ones of 49p before but, in a context where I'm getting £4s, I don't know whether to bother with this one.

    That's the thing though - and it's rationally bizarre. Sometimes I've claimed lower value ones on some occasions and then, later, on other occasions not bothered with vouchers that are of higher value than that but lower than ones I've been getting at that time. So, sometimes, it's just strange like that - depends on how I feel I guess (whether it's "worth bothering with" rather than anything really logical - or even consistent such as either claiming every one of them or absolutely none of them at all). So - at least in my own actual actions/failures to act as opposed to my atttempted objective look at my own actions etc. - I'm actually grey and not black and white or consistent at all:rotfl:.
