Elite 11+ - Fleecing a supermarket near you!

Do those I.L. Skinkinds work out cheaper:eek: than Sains. Basics Shower Gel (was 30p a while back, now 45p)? It's legitimate to divide by 3 as getting three items!

So expensive, Sains. Basics:rotfl::rotfl:!:eek:




EDIT: 1,250ml of Shower Gel for about £1.23/£1.24 in total (I.L. &Lynx).
900ml of Sains Basics for ... wait for it... £1.35:eek::eek:_pale_. (Even a single one at 45p causes me to go _pale_!) Then, on volume, would be adjusted to £1.87/£1.88 to represent the same amount as the I.L/Lynx is getting!

£1.23/£1.24 or £1.87/£1.89 equivalent - you decide!:rotfl::D [Strike]And..the S Basics, as it says, is 'simple formula, still effective' (but perhaps not as much?:think:) - if it still says what it said ages ago when I last would ever buy it - I refuse to do so these days - so,[/Strike] paying far less, in total, for more, of I.L/Lynx shower gels that, for me, work much better, a bargain!:D


EDIT 2: Sorry, I originally put old price of 38p on the Shower Gel - getting mixed up with Basics Handwash:doh: lol:rotfl::rotfl::o - shall I quit and go to bed while I'm ahead?!?:rotfl: - I never bought the Shower Gel, would have been 10p ages ago at Mr A. I.L./Lynx doesn't beat that - but (just about) better than current pricing e.g. on T Eday Value 30p for 300ml = 90p for 900ml and £1.25 for 1250ml! Ooo..a penny (or possibly two) in it! (Make sure you need all your fillers:rotfl:.) No, I think the I.L./Lynx is a better deal, all things considered such as (:eek:) "quality"!:) Not a mark-up at all if you are putting it with your normal shopping vs T (by "normal" shopping, I mean the way the Elite, us, nowadays normally shop i.e. my normal shopping is comparison shopping - and namely we have already divided all our what would formerly have been "weekly" shop into separate shops vs specific competitors and thus are buying all we need vs T (which is at least 8 different items!). Anytime we get milk for instance...that counts, and is/may be vs T (although that example item has options as you know - could currently be vs S instead or vs W outside of N.I.). So, nothing extra, in effect, on fillers as we are putting all our shopping that we would need and get anyway in the most efficient way). No brand tax, brilliant!:D Like it, good, thanks... and goodnight!:)

Whenever I buy bananas now, I almost always only buy one banana at a time on any shop (vs T or M). That way I can then buy another banana on a later shop, rather than oops I've already got too many bananas and now scrabbling around for an extra item, additional to what I would need, to make up the numbers on the new shop.

The exception is when I need to reach a specific APG amount that I am buying the shop with, when I might add an extra banana (in other words buy 2 bananas) in order to spend the last few pence, if I really can't find anything else to get there.

Of course, maybe I ought to buy whoopsied bananas, even though they either don't count or would lose money on the APG, as they may be cheaper, but then would need replacement item instead of the banana on the APG shopping so now paying for that!



(Just thought that may help/assist (not sure what the difference, if any, is between the word "help" and the word "assist" but never mind...) as to how I split and do my normal shopping these days. I suppose the same could go for other single fruit or veg. that people buy. I tend to buy packs of carrots (in various ways from various sources as prices change) as generally they are cheaper by kg., but split the bananas down as loose are cheaper than the packs. Then again, I suspect single purchases are rounding up to the nearest penny each time,... but then the APG 6.8p/kg or usually a penny or a penny and a bit (round up to two pence maybe?, depending on final comparable total) on a banana on a comp. is giving that back anyway.)

:A:wave::wave:

Good morning

Morning all. Happy weekend.

I'm off for a week now, so are the little darlings but I'm sure we'll manage, although not too much shopping opportunities I would think.
