    Good afternoon.

    The heat is getting to me.
    Locked myself out this morning.I knew i had a spare key hidden in my cellar which has outside access.
    I couldn't get the key tp work so ended up up a ladder with a walking stick through the little window to open the larger side one and climb through.

    I couldn't understand why the key wouldn't work then I remembered I also had next doors hidden away as well:rotfl:

    I also fell over down the garden a couple of days ago and grazed my elbow.

    I'm convinced my brain is trying to work faster thanmy body wants to in the hot weather.

    Just to be aware that I found the Savers Strawberry cereal bar seemed to be in fewer Ms now although it is still around. It may just be the stores I chose:think: - however, all of them had the (slightly higher price) Chocolate version - which :(I now notice may work out more expensive as it's gone the other way and A is 64p on that. All Ms had Chocolate but not as many had both Chocolate and Strawberry - Strawberry may have disappeared from some due to its lower price in juxtaposition with the Chocolate. I still managed to find it though and it's online at the moment (because it's still in Leamington?:think:).

    70p 50.7p / 100g
    Store_8.15px.png
    62p


    A's equivalent, or a previous incarnation of it, went down to around 41p a while ago, though, so it's taken me some time to start, reluctantly, including the cereal bar on the list.

    I also had trouble finding Savers Con Carne tin* - indeed others, such as Irish Stew, are now also completely absent in several stores - which may have been a good thing as M has been a bit more expensive than A having put up its (M's) price to 60p some time ago, except :(I now notice it seems to have encouraged A to put up its price too - it was more than 10% cheaper but is now 59p:eek:. I think, sadly, Avs S.

    Also no Ms I visited seemed to want to show me the price of SP equivalent Streaky Bacon now - despite the fact it is unchanged in price at £1.04! I eventually had it scanned at the fifth store, after being no trace at stores 3 and 4 - I didn't want to risk the product not being in store 6 and then be unable to get its price from anywhere:rotfl:.

    I think SP Bran Flakes will have gone N/A against M now. M's pack size change seems to be complete:(.

    SP Con Carne should be against T (M is a bit more expensive and seems to be OOS in several places - possibly the range of Savers tinned meat products is being discontinued: :(putting up the cost for people shopping in M who now have only the standard range own label products available at their higher cost).

    Meanwhile, although some items have gone - or appearing to be going - I may find a contrary position at some point in the future! - others have come back recently, including Ravioli tin (so, hopefully, SP Ravioli tin will be optionally available against M these days as well as T).

    *In fact I never found any stock yesterday anywhere. I found just one store with a price label - 60p and "temporarily OOS".

    Re the Quidco Clicksnap app, if I already have a Quidco account do I use the same log in for the app? Thanks

    I think you have to as your QC account is your CS account (whereas CoS is on a separate system for the accounts, so you could register with the same email address and it is a separate account - useful when the same offer appears on both systems as you can then claim twice :D).

    HTH

  • Happy anniversary Snap and fourp, I love that necklace and am still chuckling about ourp's trousers! He surely can't blame that on the new bowls!!!

    Happy Birthday Emma:bdaycake:

    We have had a lovely day here, not hot but just nice.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
