It really must be a long time since you were there TM as even I can't even remember how long ago it was that Dickens closed:rotfl:
Must be at least 15 years ago!

Are you referring to the Dickens now under House of Fraser?

That has really taken me back to the pre House of Fraser days - Howells and David Evans in Cardiff, either Dingles or Jollys (can't remember which) on Park St in Bristol, Cavendish House in Cheltenham. And I'm sure only a couple of years ago when I was in Skipton their HoF still had the Rackhams. How things change

That's brill elliemoo - that answers the question. Do you find this time consuming?

Ive got a little quicker, hardest bit for me is folding and photographing the receipts, but its easy money if the items are on the receipts anyway.

Went to J1 Sada, it was very clean! Didn't find any mags in the Antrim Ts.

Way-ho... I'm buying too well - my shopping bill (3 hours ago) was just over £19 and I got nearly half of it back!

Why £9.20?

13 items (10 different) on your bill qualify for comparison Tesco

1 x ASDA Chosen by You Fig Rolls (200g)£0.65£0.49

1 x Church & Manor Farm Free Range Mixed Eggs (6)£1.00N/A
1 x Nestle Bitesize Shredded Wheat (500g)£2.48£1.00
3 x ASDA 1% Fat Milk 4 Pints (2.27L)£3.00£3.00

2 x Soft & Gentle Body Responsive Antiperspirant Deodo...£3.78£0.40
1 x Sanex Dermo Moisturising Foam Bath - Normal to Dry...£3.15£1.57
Comparison total (compared products only)£18.06£9.85

I've italicised the 'red' prices on the comparison - which indicates where prices at the competitor (in this case T) rely on a multibuy. The Jelly Babies, Pastilles & Licquorice Twists are on any 3 for £2.00 in T - so that 'low' pricing is correct if you buy total of 3. (I think the other 250g comparable ones vs the 3 for £2.00 are the Licquorice Allsorts, the Wine Gums and the Cough Candy.)

Potatoes&Herbs and S&Gs working. I could have bought the S/P Bath Foam 40p vs 40p, instead of the Sanex stuff, so that's one to A. All in all though, not too bad a shopping trolley! (Fig rolls are a rip-off though, aren't they? - considering they were 39p at T, according to MSM, for about five months some time during last year.:rotfl:Ripped off having got them for around 44p!:rotfl::rotfl:)

I've said before that, because you have to buy certain items and stick to a list, to make sure you're not buying items that are way more expensive at your chosen competitor, this also helps stop impulse buying and spending far more than you should:). Well, to a point it stops that, that is. My 'impulse' buy on this shop was the Bitesize Shredded Wht - sometimes it doesn't help knowing all the 'prices behind the prices' (or many of them anyway) and, with it being 90p net vs T, I couldn't resist I'm afraid! I hadn't even checked it fully on MSM tonight - of course, who ever would buy one small box for £2.48?:rotfl:There I went and picked up one such box with the SEL of £2.48!

With that, I think this is my last visit for tonight.

Goodnight.:wave:

(Seems I'm the only one pedantically putting a full stop after the "Goodnight" - although it doesn't look as good I think.) Night now!!:beer::beer::D

Presumably that explains why there has been no results from Weds.

I am scanning them at mo- OH knew he was going to be the runner to the scanner for me...he had a face like thunder but saying nothing;)

I always have the upper hand cos I don't drink and therefore in the event of a row, if it ever were to occur, I can always blame the demon drink. He tends to keep his gob shut and get on with my next silly ruse:D:D
