What do people do with W conditional spend vouchers? I have 6x £8 off £40 - surely it is possible to extract some value from these despite W prices even if it is just by flogging them on eBay?

Normally peeps on here just post them on to Locarr or myself:p

Buy multibuys that are on pyo. Till will deduct value of total before offers. Eg most of us would get the £8 off about £20 not the £40 it states. At work so can’t go into more details

Greenjinn - Sainsburys

John West infusions - 40p cashback
I googled for a John west coupon for these as sometimes old links work again but avast sees all coupon websites as threats and wont download so I've sent for one by post. Usually they come quite quickly.
£1.20 at sainsbbos at least until Wednesday ...

Kellogs special k 500g - 60p
on offer for £2 - still looks expensive to me

I use marmalade instead of apricot jam. I always have marmalade in whereas I'd need to buy apricot jam and I'm not doing that :rotfl:

But our marmalade is thick sliced lol.

I have to go to Lidl later anyway, I use the jam then put it in the back of the cupboard, it lasts about 5 years :rotfl::rotfl:

It goes against everything, I never buy jam as I always make my own, but the ones I make are just too strongly flavoured to do this, even if I was willing to sieve them :rotfl::rotfl:

Its times like this that those little pots/tubs you can get in hotels/on ships come in handy

GIST - FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T READ BEYOND THE FIRST LINE - PALMOLIVE AROMAS/GOURMETS LIKELY OFF VS M SOON.

Just to mention that I might not be visiting M today, as I have no need otherwise to do so. Therefore, the M list (I am going to call it this again, that is the "current" list on this thread rather than the huge list on part 1 that eventually ended near the end of May this year) will become a little out of date for the next few days. Much of it should still be reliable based on stated expiry dates that are on it; however it should be checked against online. In fact, the Monday has been very useful prep. for the Wednesday on each of the last three weeks, so I may well feel its loss - I feel immediately out of the loop again - and it may well lengthen Wednesday a bit:(. Which in fact I could do without as I have a busy week in parts this week. So I might leave the whole thing to become slowly out of date over the next week and then catch up again probably next Wednesday when I have a little more time back. However, at the moment, I am still thinking of doing this Wednesday. But probably not today - unless I just walk there in the next hour or so, if I change my mind or just decide to walk out.

If it turns out I don't in the event visit M, cue lots and lots of items to go onto really cheap prices whilst I'm not there:rotfl:. That happened last time I didn't go for two days - they put on some 10p RTCs or something.

The main thing at the moment, although I don't have any information of what instore says, is that it seems the Palmolive Aromas on A's 3 for 2 will be off soon against M - three of them may continue against T but stop buying the So Vibrant version from whenever the M price information gets updated as it appears that will not compare against T - Northern Ireland is, I imagine, as before - just three versions against T (that the rest of us will very likely have soon). All of the Palmolive Gourmets will very probably off soon too, in addition to the Coconut version that has been off all along as M is believed not to have it, as the non-Coconut ones are £1 only vs M, but they seem to have gone to full price in M today. They will still work today (but not Coconut Joy - that is no joy vs everywhere) but they are now time-limited and 'last chance for now' it seems until somewhere on the APG (that isn't A itself) goes back on offer on them.

I thought the huge list ran until last February but apparently it was May, with Hallowe'en and Christmas items on it:rotfl: - actually I was still finding one or two Hallowe'en items at random not sold on an RTC shelf even at that stage, so assumed that, in total, with hundreds of stores, one or two probably different items in every 6-12 of them, could have left M still having one unit of stock of most of them somewhere.

Surprised that a £22 apg one went through. Has anyone else managed to scan one ok. Maybe tills updated again.

I'm surprised as I have used 22.00 on normal till and it needed a supervisor to till it through. The supervisor was shocked and told the S.A. to write the receipt no. And put it in the till and then kept looking at the total spend x
