    morning driveller family:rotfl:

    Redarrow well done on shoplifters :T our local sainsburys had a lot of a certain type of people coming in loading up their trollies esp with meat as it was the first aisles you come to then just merrily walking out DSIL witnessed this once she said it was unbelievable so they have now started security tagging the meat etc. This kind of thing adds to the prices we all pay for our food as supermarkets have to recoop their lose somehow :(.

    Raven great APG and well done on posting it :Tits useful to allow others to see what has been compared successfully and what to avoid:beer:

    Pandorasbox thanks for tip re rice sounds a good deal:beer:

I am even thinking of trying to get in the car and drive today as so frustrated at not been mobile don't want any more jam roly poly errors:rotfl:hoping as it's on right side don't really do a lot as most of the movement is the left arm and since yesterday now able to lightly put my back against seat at home. Just so frustrated having to rely on others

  • Bloomin heck Dr:p I must have a really slow brain takes me all morning just to do list targeted for apg :eek: than hours again to do tesco list the following day:D. I start by going on tesco.com go to special offers scroll down all offers that might be something I would purchase write a list then go to asda.com check them all off with their prices then do a seperate list of how much to buy ie bogof etc. Where some match in both stores and something I would buy anyway use these to make a more realistic shop. Many people mention mysupermarket but I don't seem to navigate very well on that site and give up:(

    But the savings I have made in the short while I have been doing this is worth all the time spent on them;) If not sure what might work I will only buy one until confirmed (2 if bogof offer) another reason I try and remember to post result in case it might help others

    Like you posted about the Milka at sainsburys would have never spotted that as tend to focus on tesco as comparison only as find site easier to spot offers

    hope you feel better soon AH! I know how horrible it is relying on other people to help you get around. I was on crutches for 3 months once and could not leave the house, as we had a high step that I could not get over without assistance!
