    hi, wasnt able to join in the Viking Nectar haul as I just couldnt justify buying anything (we dont have a printer, use instant coffee, already have a loft full of toilet rolls). however, the gift cards are okay so would love to join in. I remember that i need to put a code in the search box at some point but that the code couldnt be posted here. can anyone give me some general hints as to where i could find the code please? Ive looked on code thread but nothing there. thanks

    Have a read here.

    Not sure if nationwide but Mr A tills have a bit of a problem with the new 16 or so items that are all 50p. They are on an end aisle promo. (Milk shakes, Dino and football sliced meat - no jokes please, etc). They are all going thro at the normal prices. Earlier on it was at the 'even' tills but now it's on the odd tills. Bizarre. 2 x Dino meat (DGD's love it!) charged £2. CS £1 refunded and a £2 gc!

    Just back from Tesco and can CONFIRM that the breakfast deal works instore too.....,
    I bought the cumberland sausage, 2 eggs, tomaotes and black pudding.

    lots of PP`s expected on this one guys! .;)

    the cereal looks like a good one for a PP

    Fantastic thank you - what is the best combination for PP please? Last time for traditional it was Free Range Medium Eggs, Cumberland Sausage, Tomatoes and Mushrooms. Currently showing on MSM as:

    Butcher's Choice Sausage 12 pack is £2.89 T / £2.30 A
    Free range eggs own brand 6 pack £1.40 / £1

    The better return cereal based, currently (off MSM, so may not be same on Ts PP):
    Optivita Berry Oats £2.99 / £2 A
    Apricots £2.25 / £1.98 A x2
    Onken £1.25 / £1 A x2

    Not sure if anyone can confirm or has a better combination?

    :( mine did that once. We think she fell in next doors pond.

    She loves being dried off though :rotfl:

    One of my cats keeps coming indoors with wet paws. Couldn't work out why til we spotted her standing in the bird bath. She does it every day. Just stands for a minute or two to wash her paws before coming in. So strange.

    The basic idea is to buy stuff that is dearer in A's or the same as your targeted shop ie T's to return an APG. Most of the stuff on your list is cheaper in A"s.....

    HTH :)
