The wonderful sparkly Elite Christmas thread of love, dreams and glitches ©

princessmelody2009

elliemoo hope you've managed to get your daily fix and are somewhere nearer to getting your broadband sorted.

Trying to catch up but constantly back and forth... getting in where I can...

Savvybuyer

Right, first of (hopefully) 4 comparisons (APG) - three from today's shopping, one from yesterday - to let you know about. Might take me some time to summarise on here, but let's go for it:

First one: a long receipt, nearly £90, hoping it might come back with a significant APG, but no.

Versus T, it's a pot noodle that's brought the lack of success, together with four 50p each Mug Shots!!! Grrr.... (Don't they know to buy vs M about month ago when they (the mug shots) were offer there for 30 odd p!!!:mad:)

The Bold 2 in 1 Pomegranate washing powder at £5 also didn't help (as it's £6.49 in T).

Another mistake the Laughing Cow Light Cheese Triangles (16s) as they've I think doubled in price at T and are now £2 there. Getting them at £1.50 in A...!!! Actually it's so fuming as to be hilarious, and almost turns me into a laughing cow myself now!!:rotfl:
(Which is no mean feat I might say...)

Other that, they've gone for the now expensive 1 and a half litre bottle of Cola.

There is however this vs T:

2 x ASDA Steak & Gravy Pies (4 per pack - 624g)£4.00£3.28

This appears to be £2 in A (there doesn't appear to be any multibuy glitch) vs the price of £3.28 at T which is in red, so it's probably a multibuy offer. Buy in 2s (Avs T) if you think that price is alright (and if you've got room in your freezer).

Also
1 x Yoplait Wildlife Choobs (6x40g)£1.00£1.00

Otherwise, apart from the Bold, Laughing Cow (seems not v good) and the ...arghhh!!!... mug shots & noodle, there's this perhaps for T vs A shoppers:

1 x Walkers Quavers Cheese Flavour (16x16g)£2.00£4.18

However, I'm preferring the Walkers Ridge cut Cheddar Cheese and Onion at the moment if, as reported on here in the last couple of hours, they're 20p in A but scanning at £1.99, therefore refund and £2 gift card, making them minus £1.80 each!! Need to buy in A.

Sains. came out most expensive of the five on this receipt, due to K's Variety Pack being £2.09 in S and a 20pk of Duracell AA Plus batteries comparing (very probably correctly) at £8.00:eek: in A vs £11.49 (double :eek:) for S.
The situation was reversed with the Steak & Gravy Pies vs S, as they revealed a lot more expensive for S compared to A.
Some Cod Fillets were A £2 and S £3.20 (S isn't the right competitor to compare them to on the APG, except perhaps for Sada itself), and some Harvest Chewee Bars were double the price in S compared to A.

Then there were some Mug Shots....!!! :mad::rotfl::mad:

Vs M's and W's: nothing really to tell you about, except some Noodles and Mug Shots again!!:mad::mad::D

My tesco shopping and wombling days are over...

whilst out walking my dog yesterday i collapesed and had a seizure bit a huge bit of clean of my tounge, bruised face, black eye, wet myself (dont laugh) the only thing i remember is waking up in an ambulance 1/2 hour later. blood tests all ok..they say they think ive had an epileptic fit..therefore i can longer drive for at least a year...

im the only one that can drive as im already a carer for my wife..

we live in a small village..only a couple of shops no tesco..

everything is going to change now i have no car. cant go to tesco. cant go on either of the 2 holidays we have booked.

so on monday ive got to go to the GP and arrange brain scans and EEG's. and then hope for the best that it was just a 1 off, but either way its looks like i will lose my licence..

FOR DOGGY / PET PEOPLE
my dog is perfectly fine apparantly he just sat by my side gaurding me when i was on the floor fitting..he wouldnt let anyone near me until it was someone he knew (luckily because of him everyone talks to you when you have a dog)
i couldNT ask for a more loyal friend and protector..

ive got so many questions to ask.what, if, when etc.

they say life begins at 40..well if this is the start of my life IT SUCKS

That must have been really awful. Good job you had your dog with you. Hope you are feeling a bit better now. Hope everything goes ok with your tests.Sending hugs.

Just thinking easier to spend £50 on 1 gift card than try to use 10 x £5 on a single transaction - if you were saving for something.

Does a gift card store your transactions?

If you had a few small gift cards could you just ask at customer services if they could transfer them to just one card for you.
