  • Good evening all
    Please may i asked what i could do with the following, note sure if i can freeze?? any ideas would be great:
    2 x Finest brandy sauce 1p
    2 x Finest extra thick brandy cream 1p
    1 x Finest extra thick valencia orange and cranberry cream 4p
    1 x Finest extra thick pear and ginger cream 4p
    I only bought in case the mulitibuys kicked in like the meat and party food lol, they did not.
    Also loads of single and double cream reduced, i remember some where on here people were making butter, please could you point me in the right direction. tia x
    Also how many dtd have people been doing in one store, ive done the beef the toothbrush and the hair straightener's, went into my store today and went to put some wombled points on my card and the same trout was on. I said thank you and went on shopping as i looked back i seen here on the phone then went to the security station and said something, do you think they were watching lol.
    Had a good look for the cheat dog food, toilet rolls nothing, but i did manage to get 5 kitchen roll which is a bargain.
    Have a great night all and tia xxx

    have you ever been to Philip lane?? or downhills park. Every weekend there was an ambulance outside the park.

    I can never work out why you have to pay so much to live there. so glad to be in essex:)


    Never been to either of those- there used to be a park at the end of Victoria Road where carters fair used to come once a year. Where I lived was the poor cousin to Muswell hill I suppose

    The Fairy Lemon Dishwasher Tablets (80s) are back down to £9.99 in W (shame that A don't have the £5 off still on) - I'll drag out my Av Wait. list in a mo., if I aren't interrupted again by whoops time.
    I couldn't find a lot on offer at W last time (which didn't have an alternative avail. cheaper, or avail. cheaper vs someone else), but the Sada bleaches 1 and a bit litre - mix and match 2 for £1.50 are usu. a good one, as they don't compare (if you get different varieties, they are 2 (or 4 etc.) items of your 8). Also, *all* Smartprice stuff is N/A for W - although in many cases it's technically a few pence cheaper vs T or vs S (or still vs M outside NI on some things - M Savers range seems to have increased on a number of its items relative to the other supermarkets recently).

    Ta for this, so best to stick with carrot, onion and Sada value items plus the loreal :D

    Evening Elite :)

    I managed to find time to do my first 'targeted' shop today :j :j :j
    Here are my results, might help someone else :D

    19 items (14 different) on your bill qualify for comparison Tesco+£16.66

    0.41 x ASDA Green Seedless Grapes by Weight (100g) £2.04 £1.02
    1 x Yorkshire Tea Decaff Tea Bags (80 per pack ... £2.00 £1.00
    1 x Petits Filous Frubes (9x40g) £2.00 £1.00
    2 x Kellogg's Coco Pops Cereal & Milk Bars (6x20... £3.96 £1.98
    2 x Dairylea Cheese Spread (300g) £4.00 £2.00
    1 x Silver Spoon Granulated Sugar (1Kg) £0.88 N/A
    1 x Ye Olde Oak American Style Hot Dogs (6) £1.25 £0.64
    1 x Nestle Cheerios (375g) £2.28 £1.14
    2 x Kellogg's Special K Peach & Apricot (5x23g) £2.00 £1.98

    Comparison total (compared products only) £36.89 £20.23

    I got a little carried away though, APG for £18.69 :eek: Not looking forward to spending it now! should have only bought 1 of each item really
    If this is from today, how come the coco pops bars compared at £1.98 each? They are £1 each on MSM?

    Your choice. It depends what you need in the house as to what else you decide to buy. I've posted a list of items which specifically compare to W best earlier tonight - the SP items will do even if they technically lose you a couple of pence each or so. If you do need any of the other specific items I've posted, now's your chance if you don't do a vs W shop that often (and aren't ready to wait till another competitor puts their price down to around W's current prices). But I'm getting used to this - and maybe a glitch will arrive tomorrow that blows 10% cheaper than W's price out of the water.

    Evening lovelies. :hello:
    How is everyone doing? :)
    I am shattered, the boy has decided that he no longer needs a nap in the afternoon. The day is so much longer without an hours peace and quiet, i think i might start having one instead. :o:D
    I was devastated when my DD stopped having her afternoon nap as well! :o :rotfl:

    ooh, commiserations mrs stinkface:rotfl:;). The day does indeed get waaaaaay longer. Mine dropped his in the summer. he's always loved his sleep and i was knackered when it happened.
    Tiger :cool:
    I'm a body double for Claudia Schiffer and i wont get out of bed for less than [STRIKE]£10k per day[/STRIKE] a 1p find

    I really hope I can find this tommorow - my shopping oomph has completely vanished :D


    QUOTE=Savvybuyer;58366077]Second reply from me on this, on a different aspect to earlier:

    It should be okay, even if showing W as N/A. The Sally at Sains. showed - and still shows - N/A for me, when logged in. S appears with 10p only when logged out (but the product then shows as N/A for Sada for me). Despite this it still compared 8.98 vs 10p on the Sada guarantee for me.

    Waities is showing N/A for me as well on MSM for the L'Oreal Paris decrease thing, but when I'm logged out. If I log in, the W and A prices are both there - W is £3. The product is currently on waitrose.com and is showing at £3. My advice is take a screenshot of that, on Waities' own site (plus a screenshot of the product on MSM when logged in if you can get it to show W's price), and you can go to A CS if it doesn't work out properly - it doesn't seem to be a glitch or anything. It seems to be a genuine price that W are selling for, and A should better that by 10% (if you target W correctly on your A shop).[/QUOTE]
