Did you buy them? Or is this only reading from the SEL? Looks like they are £1.00 on MSM.co.uk and sada.com, so I suspect that they would scan at £1.00. In which case could have paid £1 at till, and then got difference back to 83p, plus a £2 gift card, from CS!

Making them minus £1.17. (An additional 10p off may be avail. if already doing an Av S comp. and if put on that shopping.)

No, i didnt buy them, OH noticed them on a Isle end stand, with a SEL of 83p, but i did venture into the baby isle to check and sure enough, they had a Reduced to clear SEL 83p, only the pure ones though, the green and salmon colour packs are still £1 so not sure if the "pure" ones are maybe being discontinued along with the nappies?

It doesn't really bother me as I never seem to get anything back anyway. I can spend ages planning a TvA shop using the A website and very little compares in my favour. That's why they are called porkies.

That's why I'm always amazed when people get decent PP's back- like Westie earlier today. Even when I plan a shop I never get much back:o

Mine are stuck from Wednesday too, I got the same message that Redfox posted last night. Doesn't matter if you adjust the time or anything like that, just comes straight back saying they fluffed it up again :mad:

Anyhoo, evening all

Had a lovely day out today. We took a wee drive to Ardersier, parked up and walked along the shore for a while collecting shells with DD. Then went on to Fort George, but you've got to pay to get right in, so being [STRIKE]the tightwad[/STRIKE] MSE as we are we declined and wandered around the edges instead :rotfl:
We are actually planning on going back though, it looks rather interesting. Then we went into Nairn to have a play on the beach there :cool:



It's amazing what a difference a bit of blue sky and sun makes

Good evening folks, logie so pleased you had a good night out:jand pleased that alfie lala seems to be sooo much better, I had the same weather as LFAB above, can actually see the Beauly Firth and the top of the kessock Bridge from my bedroom window, but my DH and I spent the day reassembling my poor wee greenhouse that took a severe battering in the wind a couple of weeks back, so bad of me skipping and not really hitting the thanks but I have tried not to miss anything too important, rhosynbach you were so lucky with that chimney fire it could of been much worse, and I will bare in mind that a chap collects mini malts if I come across any:)

Anyone fancy sending a seller a question on eBay. The more people to send the question the better.

The question would go like this...

"Hi there, is postage really by courier or will you just send it by bog standard Royal Mail?

What happens if I'm the winning bidder and you don't get the money you want for it? Will you claim that I'm in some foreign country and refuse to sell the item to me?"

Hello, good evening all.
Did an Svs A shop this afternoon.
Firstly - as I have to begin in a logical way even though the main point is near the end:rotfl: - I was left rushing around in a faff again at 15 minutes and then at 5 minutes to closing time (once again, I didn't manage to make it there in time for more leisurely shopping).

Message on the tannoy announcing it was 15 minutes to close, then another tannoy at 5 minutes to the hour. I was trying to calculate the BM amount due back at the time - couldn't find one of my 'big ticket' items that would have easily put me over the £20 amount - so left, with around £4 short of £20, going around for whoopsies and trying to get small pence amounts to add to £4! My mental arithmetic, and my brain in general, was a lot better many years ago: unfortunately I've been through a lot in the last ten years or so, that my mind went blank and no calculator to hand.

All at five minutes to closing... I got distracted into listening to the tannoy - telling me what I already knew at that point - and couldn't concentrate until it had finished!! (I suspect there's some sort of sensory processing distraction at work here, although not full-blown SP disorder.)

Now the main point - it seems the Heinz 6 Multipack Beanz (sic) did work today vs A at £1.00, but it looks like everything else I bought on my shopping today didn't!:rotfl: Voucher of £6.38, but (having got home and calculated it out properly, after thinking I might have gone over the £10 cap) it seems it should be £8.77. Forgot to use the remaining amount on my gift card from last time against this shop. Couldn't use £2.50 nectar reward as that would have reduced my total to under £20.

Original bill was supposed to be just over £22.50, but as the size of the item I wanted that would have taken me there wasn't avail. - I thought going to the bigger store that I did would have helped - but it seems only the smaller store I saw it in last week has it:mad: - it was £16 and rush around for whoopsies (not too bad actually 'having to' do that, given amount 'saved') whilst trying and forgetting halfway through what figure I'd reached for the voucher calc. and then trying again to work out the total amount due back, with mind blanking:mad::mad:.

Actual whoopsies bought (all Sains own brand) included some 12 pack sausage rolls at a 'ridiculous'(!) 49p. Original price apparently £1.90, but I'm taking the original price to be only £1.00 due to seeing them being on offer at that amount previously (a month or two ago). 10p breads. Chocolate eclairs at 20p (original price says £1.19, but I am taking it as £1.00 as that's what a pack of eclairs is - and that would have been a pack twice the one I got - so only a 30p saving according to me (or only 20p if using APG vs S or M elsewhere).

So I'm taking it my whoopsies saved me only about 30p x 2 (for the bread), 20p for the eclairs and 51p on the sausage rolls (£1.01) rather than the 1.90 less 49p (sausage rolls) = £1.59 plus 70p x2 on the breads and 99p on the eclairs (another mind block again, however many pounds and pence that is). Also I lost 9p on some eccles cakes (as I've seen them lower priced recently before) and 20p on a pack of potatoes I was forced to add to reach the £20 (given that potatoes were 99p elsewhere recently but now, in S, £1.19). Not too bad adding that potatoes bag - as I now have one from the Tosco shopping and one from S - so enough to last the week now.

So actually only saved £1.01 minus 29p (70 odd pence, rather than the huge amount based on their 'original prices') on the other items (whoopsies) - at least the beans packs seem to have compared today. Onto CS tomorrow after I find out what didn't compare and it may end up a bit more.:) Would have been great though if they'd have had (in the larger store!) all the items on my original shopping list (compiled at short notice). Faff faff faff:rotfl::rotfl:, but still probably ended up not too bad - at least I didn't breach the £10 cap as originally thought.

[Main point turns out to be in the middle??!!??:rotfl:of this, another long text from me!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::(]

Just for info as it might help someone doing an online order. I have done an A's delivery order for tomorrow as i can't leave hubby alone at the minute. I was doing a basics order so not for apg. I was able to order as many of the £1 dove soap 6 packs -ordered a few . I was also able to order the £1 beans 6 pack - it would only allow a maximum of 1 pack. Better than none when stuck inside. Good thing is that even if they don't have the stock they usually substitute better and can only charge for what was ordered. Nothing to lose.
