    pay £3 get £1.20 back
    = £1.80/3 = 60p
    Crisps with trigger £1.50 v £1.00 = 60p APG twice, so £3 spent less PAG £1.20 = £1.80 for 3 packs or 60p each, combine this with shloop and 3 4 2 and 2 crisps seen, shloop if all different would be 4, and 2 different GS's in 3 4 2 = no fillers

    .

    Thanks both :D

    Just been browsing the Aldi Christmas food brochure - I think M&S have some serious competition there - Aldi's range looks lovely.

    The missus was converted from M&S to Aldi last xmas

    I never saw that coming!

    I bought one of the L’Or!al lip crackers in nude at around 5 pm yesterday but didn’t get round to checking the receipt until now. It compared to Tesco at £5. Hth

  • So buy
    5 shloop, Ahem, my trigger ;) , with 4 different Baxters on 4 for £3 in T
    = pay £3 for 5 shloop, PAG sees 4 Baxters £1.07 vs 75p = PAG £1.58

    3 different crispies with tom sauce as previous = £3 and PAG for £1.20

    Buy 3 different3 4 2 at £10 each, say Bulldog Trio, Lynx Speaker, Impulse Glitterball
    = £20 spend and PAG £11.10,

    So total spend for shloop £3, £3 for Crispies, £20 for 3 4 2 = £26.00 spend
    Total PAG £14.88, so net £11.12 for 3 crisps, 5 shloop, 3 giftsets

    Evening all - totally fowl day, we have had sleet, rain and hail storms

    OH has gone to do this wedding photography job tonight, no idea when he will be back. He is not drinking because he is driving but I dont know if he will be enjoying the inevitable buffet.
    I have been conned into going on these work do -s before, dreadful things where everyone talks shop endlessly ...very glad I dont have to go with him.

    In the meantime I am going to enjoy having a totally quiet house, all cats fed and sleeping, no one whining, OH has left me a gin and tonic, I have wrapped some Christmas gifts and now I am going to have a catch up.
