    Sounds like you are having a ball AH :beer:

    Great news PM :j

    Morning everyone :D

    Had a go at wombling at A's near work yesterday - hopeless, not one receipt again - I don't think anyone does a big shop there, I only bought some milk and no-one had more than 6 items in their baskets!
    Got some roadkill on way back - 1p :rotfl:

    Went to pub last night got 50% off food with Marston's - sign up on their email for offers. Paid £24 for 5 of us including drinks (one of which was free - also email offer!) Link is at top
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Agree with that pasrt completley BP, Tesco is a nightmare at times with their Pricechecker :mad:

    Do any of you guys shop at Sainsbury's to make full use of their price thingy? We always read about T's & A's but never S's


    morning all,i've done a couple of selected shops for brand match but see very little on MSE about it ,usually T or A .i do find it hard as ive always gone for bargains rather than paying the more expensive price so hard to get my brain working backwards so to speak .

    Thanks BP. Guess what? they deleted my post:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I knew they would anyway.

    I wasn't posting anything nasty. Just giving facts like : is sheffield their only customers? 800 (millions/thousand?) odd followers on fb & none was ask about the new price "promise" survey. etc Guess they don't wanna hear the truth:D

    Even £40 a month :eek:

    Mine LAST year (with AXA) was £250.56 for the year - with £28 cashback through Quidco
    That's for a 2.5litre V6 with just £100 excess

    Renewal notice came through a few days ago from AXA - this year it's just £183 :j :rotfl:

    Needless to say I bit their hand off :D
