    There was a kind person a long way back who had worked out the best day to start a COS balance transfer so it takes the shortest amount of time to actually hitting your bank account - did anyone screen shot that message pretty please?

    I know its not a normal average week yet and I want to get the Moma before I download anyway.

    Vaguely I seem to think Wednesday but I think I made that up :o

    COS send most payments on a Thursday, sometimes delayed to Friday. The quickest way to receive payments is to have it sent to a PayPal account as it's sent via FP and usually received immediately. If you have it sent to a bank account it will go via BACS and take 3 working days.
    Optimum request day is Wednesday regardless of where it's going to.

    Cadbury’s have launched white creme eggs and they could win you a lot of money :D. Top prize of 2k will be found in a co-op store. Ideal for AP I would think :). Was posted on one of my FB pages

    ‘The new Creme Eggs are in shops including Co-op, Sainsbury’s Local, Tesco Express and local newsagents from now until April 1.

    The chances of finding one, however, are slim - there are thought to be only 371 in total. What’s more, they’ll look just like normal Creme Eggs.

    However, if you find one of the white eggs, not only will you have a delicious and rare treat on your hands but you could also win a financial prize.

    Any white egg will win you at least £100, 34 eggs are worth £1,000 and one egg could win you an impressive £2,000.

    The top prize egg will be in a branch of Co-op somewhere in the UK.’

    One of us lot must be able to find even one worth £100

    Thanks izzey, yes they do have the same barcode which I did not realise at the time. I only bought both as i wasn't sure if the banana with the eggs would work as a trigger and i knew the xmas one did. I only lost out on 23p but now I know that they are both triggers and will only get one next time :)


    The halloween muller had the same barcode too.

    Worth mentioning again when the Raspberry dogsnuts appears in store, it has the same barcode as the rhubarb crumble light so anyone gets both in one shop, they will only count as one item towards the APG.

    If anyone is in the midst of doing an Amazon pantry order
    - I think I am going to convert this year all of my small amounts of cashback from Q and TCB to Amazon e vouchers - it feels like spending your money twice :D

    Anyway if you are in the midst of doing an order they have

    Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Oats & Chocolate Cereal Bars

    for £1 each (five double bars in each box) so very good value- this is the same price as in Morribobs now, usually they are anything up to £2.50

    Buy 4 of these and get £2.99 off delivery for one box - spend £4 and get your order credited with £2.99.

    They also have the Special K bars for £1, several flavours but if you buy one of each flavour these are automatically got a 20% reduction so 80p in real money - good if you have a tiny space still left in your Amazon pantry box (it gives you a percentage of the space you have left in your box)
    (supermarkets have them for £1 at the mo)

    They also have Nescaf! Azera Intenso Instant Coffee for £2.74 - same as Waitrose and Tesco - so a big saving if you use this coffee but don't have these stores

    I was buying more of the Butchers classic cat food, 6 tins which is still £2.60 - this is the same as Asda but everywhere else its £2.80.

    Nice man from Amazon bringing my box on the 5th - saves me having to drag cat food from the supermarket :T

    OO just found a potentially good item to include if anyone is doing

    Asdas v Waitroses

    for a biscuit and choc shop

    according to mys - £5.49 in As but £2.74 in W!!!!

    https://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Instant_Coffee/Nescafe_Azera_Intenso_Instant_Coffee_100g.html

    Its also supposed to be £2.74 in Mr T - but what are we buying now that compares to Mr T now the beans glitch is over??
