I'm too busy myself as its the kids holidays and I don't need any 2 for £3 hair spray or deodorant

And neither do I

As busy as some folks are, if something glitches or will possibly glitch, if it is something you really need/can use/want/car boot, folks will make the effort to shop.

So, any suggestions on "We really need to get sorted with some testers" ?

Yes, that's my understanding of it. You might even get away with just one Tesco account and setting up both DDs from it.
The two I've done are pet insurance - renewal was this month so I just changed the account it was taken from, and minimum payment on my Amex card. Normally I pay this off in full by debit card transfer, so will just pay balance less DD amount now. Minimal extra work but requirements met. I'm just hoping they don't all go this way, we haven't got an unlimited supply of DDs.

But with the Tesco savings account you can easily set up your own DD to pay Just a few £s from the new account into your T account. If you OH has a T account as well the second DD can be from your new account into his T account. If the OH has a new account, club lloyds /Bo's etc then dds can be set up to the Tesco accounts as well. Doesn't cost you anything, the Tesco savings accounts just go up each month slightly and you can draw it out anytime.

Maybe we could do a list and people put name down to test a possible glitch:)
Also non glitch anyone who has a lazy non working wife like me:rotfl::rotfl: you can transfer part of her tax allowance over and claim for last year and get a cheque for £211 from the tax man like I did yesterday :j:j:j:j

You mean do a list on the day, depending on what may be glitching, someone actually saying 'oh I am going to Asda for xxxx and will report back' ? That is a good idea because then folks would check back later in the day. I appreciate though it is not always possible because some folks shop on way to work and dont have access to the internet during work hours.

I'm just trying to think of a way to make it easy and then either somethings not being tested at all or 10 people testing the same thing:o the posts with possible glitch stuff is great but I feel we need to move onto the next stage and get organised in the testing so testing is as good at you guys finding possible glitches:cool:

Yes, I appreciate it can all be done using T accounts but I like to keep things looking as "normal" as I can I do have the "odd" T DD here and there...;)

Good morning all, the sun has just disappeared behind a cloud here

Managed to get some walking shoes yesterday, absolute bargain at £14 and comfortable I now have about 8 weeks to get them properly worn in.

The Colmans/Schwartz packet sauces 4 for £2.00 look as they may glitch today.

https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87416

Some of the Colmans (80p in asda) - 66p in Morries so £3.60 v £2.64. £1.18 for 4 packets after APG.

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=colmans%20sauce%20mix

Showing in the offer now are the Schwartz which are a much better comparison - 85p in Asda, some on offer in Tesco at 4 for £2.00, so £3.40 v £2.00. This would work out at 40p for 4 after APG

I had help with my sums :rotfl:

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=schwartz%20sauce%20mix

This offer has changed from just the original Colmans so you may need to check/have price checked that the Schwartz are 4 for £2.00 in store if not showing 4 for £2.00 on SEL. Offer is possibly starting today and hasn't updated as yet

EDIT I can confirm this offer is on in store, even if the SEL is not showing the offer.
