    Evening peeps

    Hope all are well and have been busy shopping. Just wanted to thank the coke and bacon ops - decided to buy some today. Just checked 2 shops done tonight;

    vT at 19.53 - coke (diet/zero/Caff) all ok

    vM at 19.50 - coke (zero/Caff/zest) all ok and the bacon

    Still got my 20.18 shop to do yet.

    Many thanks x

    I can't believe I failed to go past/didn't notice the price of the loose bananas in M today, but they're still be 68p/kg won't they? (Won't they?:think:) I did notice the loose ginger though had risen to £2.45/kg (I think so anyway, doubting myself now seeing A at £2.15/kg).

    Sanexes also on £1.49 & £1.09 offers in M (baths £1.49 and shower 250mls £1.09) but the baths on £1.49 in T, so stick with vs T on that, and 250ml shower gels vs Sains. if need be. 500ml shower gels vs T at £1.49. Of course, you are looking for triggers, rather than just comparing to those outright prices. 10% off £1.09 - way too dear!!
    KitEKat 12x100g are 2 for £5. Jelly Meat & Poultry, Gravy Meaty Feast and Jelly Fish Dish in M. But Jelly Fish Dish (not the others) is A £2.49 vs T £2.49, so best on that

Could be v.v. good perhaps with trigger and full comp from £3.22 to £2.00 if you can find a comparing one for M.

    I got a voucher for £8.43 the shop cost me £16.89

    I'm not bothered at all, but i'm just trying to work out after the APG I actually paid £8.46 but I work out it 'should' have been £6.31 (or there abouts) after APG or am I being dim??
    TIA for any help :beer:

    Not sure how you're working it out as £6.31 aallank. The bacon alone is working out at £2.30 for 2 after APG. You have bought 6, so that's £6.90 just for bacon.

    savvy - I had loose bananas as a filler yesteday and they came up same price as As, Ts and Ms on one shop, but oddly one banana was 11p in As and 10p in Ts and Ms on another shop?
