Where are we on the £20 limit at the moment, obviously they are printing larger APG vouchers but do the stores honour them?

Yes used 2 today, 1st one was a faff with supervisor, 2nd one, picked the right SA and it was put through on a man/woman till no problem.

Personally think it's best to stay under £20 to avoid any faffing about.

Evening Elite :wave: Well I seem to be in a sleep all day and awake all night routine at the moment I did get to see doc last week and they have increased my depression meds from 150 to 225 mg a day, rather than change to another medication. And to try to take tablet every morning at same time, as I told her how I don't get up till well after noon most days. I haven't managed that yet though Early days yet, but when I do sleep I sleep more deeply with little waking, miving, dozing off again, so I think that makes it a better sleep, I guess. I go back in 4 weeks to review so will see how I go

Regardless of how or why it’s caused, I think sleep is a great healer 3dogs. Should do you the world of good:)

Can anyone help. I won a four pack of carling cider on the carling tap app, so bought from Asda for £3.50 and submitted my receipt to them but my account has only been credited with £2. Never used the tap app before ?? TIA

Was it definitely not a £2 off voucher?

eta - I see DM beat me to it

Savvybuyer

Me and my shops against T:mad:. Bought enough items even without the Dove Shea - should have bought two Dove Original instead:p.

8 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda tesco
1x Dove Shea Butter Beauty Cream Hand Wash (250ml) £1.50 N/A:mad:
1x ASDA Smart Price Corn Flakes (500g) £0.45 £0.40
1x ASDA Smart Price Still Spring Water (2l) £0.17 £0.17
1x Nestle Shredded Wheat Bitesize (750g) £3.18 £1.60
1x ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk (6pt) £1.48 £1.48
1x ASDA Smart Price Sparkling Spring Water (2l) £0.17 £0.17
1x Palmolive Aroma Moments So Relaxed Aromatic Shower Gel (250ml) £1.50 £1.00
1x Galaxy Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar (110g) £2.00 £1.00
1x Dove Original Beauty Cream Hand Wash (250ml) £1.50 £1.00
Comparison total (compared products only) £10.45 £6.82
+£3.63 cheaper

Note that the Dove Shea is N/A against M:

1x Dove Shea Butter Beauty Cream Hand Wash (250ml) £1.50 N/A

In fact...

I've bought the flamin' wrong one haven't I?:o:o:mad: Should have been Dove Silk! I know what is to blame for this - that's the shop where the Shea was bought before and failed. I had Shea on my mind as a result of that, from a few weeks ago, and now, with it on my mind, I've bought the item that fails:(:rotfl::rotfl:. So, it's now one-all:p:laugh:. My fault really as not having it on my mind as the one to avoid.

Galaxy Advent Calendar at least works, and an Advent Calendar has the benefit that it stops people taking chocolates and eating them immediately after I've bought it! I just knew, if I did a T comp. shop, I would have a fail. I also did a shop against M - watch that one work perfectly as I much prefer the safe comparison against M, totally guaranteed to work, as opposed to my risky, failure T shops.

Btw, the Galaxy Calendar is already picking up £2 for M. I don't know how they get that - probably have had full price SELs in their main aisle even if the item is out at the front at many of their stores with £1 offer label on Monday. Notice I didn't try this vs M:rotfl:.

Oh well, I have a different handwash now, so more variety, even if much more expensively. And I have got another voucher to add to the lower one than should have been that I've got from this shop, so it will have to work that way.
