Just waiting for DD to get back to me with details, mind you the "dearest" will soon be "dreadful" if she doesn't hurry up!

Lake district cheese may have finished at waitrose but its on bogof at at Tesco, at worst it's a filler (£2 at asda) BUT if we can figure out the trigger - MORE cheap cheese - which I want cos my freezer may be full bt my fridge is empty and I dont want to touch my freezer stash!!

Anyone know where I can get some " get up and go" or "incentive"?
I'll happily pay full price, it's just that the mother is coming in 2 days and today is the last day I have to clean and my "get up and go" has gone and all my incentive has run out, I also think I've been struck down with "lazyitus" as well!!!!

I don't know but if you find some can you chuck some my way.

Hello everyone

Been AWOL for months (and about 10 threads I think!). Going to try and catch up with what I've missed.

Not been very MSE recently. I think that the pricecheck thing has all changed in the last few months and I really had the hang of it so will have to revise!

Was thinking about last autumn and all the 4p clothing and old el paso and realised I missed this thread!

I keep messing up the toothpaste purchases - can't work out why. So, my q's are is the t/paste a Tosco shop and is there a trigger? I've tried steradent etc! Can't find it in the back pages or the back threads! Thanks chaps/chapesses!

Just to test the waters... would something like the following work.

Ambrosia Rice Pudding Original (120g)
Quaker oat so simple golden syrup 16 pack
Weetabix Cereal (72x18g)
PARACETAMOL 16 TABLETS - 15p
TOMATO KETCHUP - 20P
HARIBO TANGTASTIC/KIDS/STAR - 10P
FLUMPS - 10p
CADBURY LITTLE BAR - 20p
LOOSE BANANA

Looks good to me but I have only done 2 shops one ok and one I put an extra cereal in, its so hard to count to 6:rotfl:

It could be worth double checking, but I have read the paracetamels (sp) may not work as they are classed as pharamacy..

Just got back from A and certain triggers seem to have been removed. The shelves are bare. I asked one of the shelf stackers where have these product gone and he said they are going to print new barcodes and put them on the products. Don't know if this will affect every store or if A are just hiding these products until the offers are over in other stores.
