40p is just so attractive, I can see it's hard to refrain.

Mind you mhoc has regular house guests and it would be a lovely gesture to put a brand new shower gel on each pile of guest towels.

Even I have been using it and I am/was a devoted Sanex-only person, so I was very resistant.

Anyway, I used OS and the world did not end. :rotfl:

Well I went to Co-op as passing and used my ''50p off any ready meal item'' moc, and the till accepted it off a 79p Jumbo sausage roll.

The SA swiped it and returned the moc to me, which is interesting...

If your store doesn't have enough stock the first time you go though, wouldn't 3 and then 9 later on another shop (once your store comes back into stock within the COS offer period and whilst the 3 for 2 and M price is still on) work out the same? On that basis, there seems to me nothing special about six per shop as threes (up to the same limit of 12) can be claimed on separate receipts, so my "3x" will remain on the list, although people can buy six per shop (or nine presumably on one and then the other 3 later), stock permitting. I don't think people should get 12 on one receipt as it's a single unique item, so two would be lost on the APG to the 10-number cap? If that's about keeping under £20, then fine, but it is losing money back and therefore working out more expensive per unit for all 12 on one receipt instead of splitting them into 6 on two separate receipts and getting full APG, minus the net cost of any fillers as having to buy a second shop. However, if you'd have done one shop of 12 Nivea creams plus 15 or more different other items, all of them appearing on the APG, then there would be no extra cost to splitting that into two shops, with 6 Niveas on each.

Thank you for the reminder about 10 max for APG, I have corrected my post.

Whether 6 and 6 or 9 and 3 - there are less fillers required trying to get all 12 in the least number of shops, but the key is buy in threes for the A multi glitch .

Good morning everyone, yesterday I found a receipt dated september, either 02,12 or 22nd - first number obscured and I had already checked it because I had written the amount of the apg on the back, anyway I tried to print it and it did print. I thought once checked you only had 28 days to print or it gets cancelled. Is this correct or not.
Tia.

Oops, afternoon I mean.

I think as long as you check it within 28 days of the dated receipt....You can print it off up to 90 days after....After being the date on the receipt....

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong....;)

I printed one I used today on the 4/11.... The date on the till receipt was 08/08....Just under the 90 day period

What a shame - the one you bought more of, we don't think M have:(. I think people can stick to my list - you can't go wrong!

Well, maybe they can, probably they'll be alright on the OS, Lynx and Vaseline lip products though.

1x Walkers Salt & Vinegar Crisps (175g) £1.50 N/A:(

M definitely have this as at last Wednesday (and, most likely, still have it today) and I believe that it is £1 - however I think it's most likely the independent agency that collects the price data hasn't found the product. I have it, in one of my Ms, but I think the price collection stores don't have it. M may have Prawn Cocktail in these larger packs somewhere but I haven't got it and I suspect neither have the price collection stores. However, if there is still a glitch on other pack sizes, why bother with these anyway?

The Salt & Vinegar compares for me, rather uselessly since in theory I could [Strike]buy it in[/Strike] most probably obtain it from M at £1, against T at £1.49 and against S at £1.50 - wouldn't have been 10% cheaper but, on this shop, the comp. vs S 'wins'. I have come back from a lunchtime shop where I spent an 80p womble on some 80p apples. I got five wombles - I didn't even expect to have those at lunchtime as I thought more people would be around later this afternoon (usually about half an hour's time to one hour away is the best time on Sunday) - people have been shopping though even though a couple of them were from yesterday - so, far one of them was more than 10% cheaper but the others have been good: unusually, one of cheaper at T, one of them cheaper at M, and the other one, this one, is cheaper at S:j:T. Wonder if the remaining one comes out cheaper at W:rotfl:. How unusual indeed - A not the cheapest on three so far.

Wonder if T ensures that people 'never pay more' if they buy enough items and buy 175g Walkers Salt & Vinegar with own label items or with brands that are cheaper/same price at M?:rotfl:

I think they may have changed it.. as I did one the other day and it printed 28 days after the shop (not when I checked the apg or the print).

Thought I'd reduced the APG down by buying the PG tips on offer and the non 342 hand cream and some cheese.
The teabags and cheese didn't compare

£20 and... 27 pence?:rotfl::(
Ridiculous - those dicey T comps. that fail:(. Sadly it seems T is OOS online of the 160 Pyramid Tea - they have Extra Strong version at full price though (A doesn't have 160). A good filler against T now, but on shops other than this. Several of these items, on other shops, should be best vs M (we are talking about normal getting best competitor price rather than trying to reduce an APG) - Redskin Peanuts, SP Chocolate Bars and Rinse Aid.

I can't see a comparable in T for the cheese:(.
