Sorry this made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:better then nothing or just a nice letter.

:rotfl: You are right there, at least they made the effort tbh we were laughing too (partly out of shock) I am sure the boys can make use of them
It was just really funny as I had received an email from them as an initial response to my complaint which stated ".. as an apology we have sent you out a swag bag in the post ..." :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I read before i post then spot mistakes when read after sent so have to edit .

I am waiting for a few things i am supposed to be testing so hopefully they arriving soon.

I always make my own burgers and freeze find they taste better homemade.

Dont like new school cleaning at it ok but hate the kitchen the atmosphere is awful i just go do my work and come home. A couple times i have had a good cry when i have got home. Then think of the money i need it to pay the bills. I liked it in my old kitchen apart from when area manager came in. We where a friendly bunch and middays and teachers spoke. I had been in that kitchen about 8 years. Hopefully they move me again to a different kitchen i can settle in.

When I went back to work in the bank after having my son I was moved to a small country branch from a large city branch. For the first few weeks I cried every day and even begged to go back to the original branch ( even though it would have been further to travel). But after a while I grew to love it. Keep strong.

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 ASDA Chosen by You Jelly Babies (250g)£1.00£0.66

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

I like this shop and have copied a few of the items, thanks Savvy Here's my shop from yesterday (sorry I haven't had chance to post sooner) The Shredded Wheat is a particulary good find as it compares at £1 in Mr T even though it shows as N/A on MSM

As Savvy already said you need to buy 3 packs of sweets to get the discount. I've found previously that not all sweets compare in the 3 for £2 discount. Butter mintoes is one I've tried previously which didn't compare even though its in the offer on msm.

I was going to get him a burger press but he said he liked forming them by hand too. His ingredients were beef mince, onion, egg yolk, breadcrumbs and chilli flakes as we like our food spicey. I'll mention the parsley to him as he uses that on a lot of other food he makes.



Is there a chance that you get back to your old school?

No dont think i can get old school back

Postie been 2 coupons for free 4 pack Cushelle and Bzz Vanish pack. :T

I make my burgers with best mince , onions , breadcrumbs and egg yolk. I also season and add various spices depending on what burger i am making.

See beans and Dove are still showing on mys. Any ideas of anything else I could get for a Tesco PP today.

If you have the MOC for Alpro the almond has been comparing vs As for me for the last week.
£1.59 vs £1 plus 80p MOC if that helps
Edit: Forgot to add it's the chilled version.
