Evening folks,
Hope you have all done your last minute bits.
I have cleaned up dinners just finishing cooking , looked hotels up to stop at for when we get evacuated and loaded the car, the river cant hold much longer they are sand bagging it which i think is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:how an earth are sand bags going to stop all that water coming over, its still rising, parts are flooded and the roads closed, the pub that was flooded 3 weeks ago is flooded again :eek::eek:.
There is security everywhere and so much movement , this xmas is unreal

My shop from today, I checked msm before I left and all the highlighted items are n/a agaimst sainbobs, my target, yet they still managed to compare them:mad:

The 'by weight' (loose fruit/veg) may well compare on the APG even if it shows N/A on MSM.co.uk, since these are variable weights and the MSM computer, when scanning the websites of the supermarkets, may pick up A at 100g but S at 180g (for example), and assumes they are different weights on MSM.co.uk but, in the APG, they do compare (unfortunately I can't say they compare wrongly as I do use this in my own comparisons when the competitors are same price or cheaper per kg).

If you see loose by weight fruit or veg on MSM and it has a price for A but not a competitor, you'll need to flip over to the competitor's part of the site on MSM and search for the relevant item, e.g. parsnips, and see if they (in this case S) are showing as having any parsnips by weight, or loose parsnips by weight, and compare the price per kgs between A and S (or whomever).

Don't know about the Bisto for Chicken granules - maybe the local Sains. to you is OOS, and perhaps showing as N/A for S when logged in on MSM, but logged out may have a price.

I nipped to our local co op earlier as Just realised we are nearly out of kids cough medicine. The only whoopsies were some sad looking veg and some rolls and bread. But when I got to the checkout a member of staff had around 20 different packs of meat. Diced steak, chicken, drumsticks etc all whoopsied to 10p!!! his total bill came to £2.10:eek: Obviously the staff reduce the good stuff and buy for themselves:mad::mad: I asked him where the reduced meat was and he said 'oh there's none left, love'........me: well there's a surprise:mad:

I was moaning about it to my OH and he said well, if you worked there you would do it. But I don't work there and I didn't get any 10p meat so I think I have a right to whinge:D

my co-op are total opersite and my spy in the shop keeps me lots and few other people iv had few bits last couple of days and nite , , just to let you know that staff aernt supost to take for them selfs unless off work and are then a meber of the public , so i would email about your disapointment and see what happens , iv never had it in co-cop but plenty of times in tesco and asda and iv had gift voucher for itn as they say staff not supost to if they working .

few day ago i did post that i bought some cakes reduced:T:T and when i got home noticed they were days out of date :eek: so i emailed as it was a sunday and had closed and i i had lovley phone call in the monday mornigntelling me £20 voucher on its way m
