    OOPS didn't realise my dental shop had cooked :D

    results with cool stripe reduced to 58p made NO difference to results only one of my locals has it at this price, obviously helps reduce initial lay out a bit (well takes a bit off your shopping as i used vouchers;);))

    Another NI peep! Thank you. I've tried all close to Belfast except $hore Rd.

    Thanks wookeyhole1 - I've found the refills but not the mop.

    Does anyone know if the refill liquid compares? Both the pads & liquid show aas N/A in Waitys but we know the pads at least compare. Thanks again in advance.




    I was unable to find it there either yesterday or today as they have spread a lot of cleaning bits around the store since removing the old cleaning section,

    . . . . that said, I managed to find the Pledge lemon dusters today after being unable to spot them yesterday :o


    Haven't really been shopping much this last 2/3 weeks so am outta practice.
    I'd like to teach the World to sing in perfect Harmony :grin: :j :D:)

    Thanks for that. So you need enough tokens to get 4 sets & then they'll come up at 1p per set if you buy all 4 at once? TIA

    no , 5 coupons and you can buy 1 x 4 piece box of cutlery ,.
    You can buy as many as you want ,.

    Hi Pattylabelle it was nice meeting you yesterday :beer:

    Tried the 400ml herbal essences today against W, but no good.

    Also tried the batteries but for some reason the rocky bars didn't show up at all on e comparison although they are on the receipt. I can't post it as I'm on my iPad and don't know how to post it


    Lovely meeting you too - folks she has the nicest little girl in the world. PLEASE could somebody post a pic of the rocky's that work? I was looking at them tonight but unsure so did not buy.

    No shower gel to test in Westie tonight - they do sell the soap and handwash though but had only one handwash left. I copied you tonite mrs moc and did a pantene shop - hope I did it right and it all works out. Px

    Also available in Tesco though.

    Not in my tesco then :( as we know msm goes by postcode and my T's is quite small so may explain my missing results. Maybe the op has the same problem. :)
