Did anyone try the 1 direction egg and 2 others against S price at £2?

Hi
i tried two eggs quality street and mars and friends with minnie mouse and her red bow , mars was showing £2 in sain as was quality street minnie was showing at £4 and N/A asda on my supermarket. When it compare it showed me paying £15 for the eggs but showed sainsburys as N/A for minnie mouse????
So it showed me paying £10 for two eggs in asda and £4 in sainsburys. Also bought two radox with the dry shampoo travel size so £1 each , but compare at 1.98 each against sainsbury 2 for £2. So got a nice APG back.

Thank you who ever sussed the butter and yogs, picked up 12 and 8 yogs, oh dear the silverside i picked up was £10 a kilo not £5 DTD back.

Dont know if anyone has posted but in argos if you spend twenty pounds in there you get a voucher for a free childs ticket to see ' wreak it ralph' at cineworld . it is one child free with a ticket buying adult.

Had to chuckle about the "Happy Bunny" saying in body shop some one has a great sense of humour in their advertising department.

Off to catch up now and read back:)

Evening all

Can I ask you knowledgable peeps a question please?

I need to buy an external hard drie, probably a 1tb job. It's mainly for a one off thing in work so clearly don't want to spend too much money! Can anyone recommend a good one with a reasonable price tag please? Thanks

Ooh that's a bit spooky...only today I was thinking the same about getting an ext HDD and I was racking my brain trying to remember where I'd seen a reasonable 1TB not that long ago...it was probably on here but I might have imagined it

Collected my click and collect order at 8pm, on checking at home I have been overcharged for the pork loin steaks, the packs are labelled as £9.99 kg and have charged me £14.58 for the two packs. As we all know this pork is half price and should be labelled £4.99kg. My receipt does say £4.99 a kg, how do I stand on getting the difference refunded, and how do I explain this on the phone. Any one had an experience of overcharges on click and collect. Also am I right in thinking DTD does not apply, I do not see why it shouldnt really. Thanks for your help

Well done to those of you who got yogs and pretend butter I don't like that brand of yellow stuff or the yogs so it isn't difficult for me not to do it

Regarding hard drives I would say not to get a Western Digital one. I have had 2 of those and they both failed. I now have a Buffalo HD-LBU2 that I got in Tesco. Paid about £70.00 I think.

I know there are a few photographers in the 11+, as well as plenty who like to plan presents in advance. Artscow are a company based in China who do photo gifts of nearly every kind and they are quite cheap but usually a killer on postage (as you can imagine from china). anyway they have an offer which runs out in 2 days time, which is any two from a selection of photogifts for $9.99. This include some hardback photobooks, photocubes, cuff links etc.

Make sure you pay with Paypal to avoid currency charges as you would on you credit/debit card and it will work out to about £7 for two items. The photocubes are $14.99 each and the photobooks are quite dear too. They are good quality, but delivery can be a while as they come from china.

Ooh so if you had bought the minnie egg and 2 eggs that compared at £2 you would have got back £6.40 APG on the 2 eggs paying £3.60 for the 3 after apg.

I thought the same for my T and sure enough the shelf was empty when I got there but a girl was restocking the shelves from a big cage,. There were no target yogs on the trolley so asked if there were any more. She went out back and came back loaded with packs of yogs so got 4...another glitch ticked off (don't laugh David.)

Also did a bit of whoopsie shopping and got charged £2.83 for some 14p grapes...DTD of course....free whoopsies :rotfl:
Sorry David. but no meat tonight;)

One of the regulars had brought along a couple for whoopsie training and they couldn't believe how cheap things were. More competition:( The hubby works at Morrisons and said that they never reduce this much so cheaply and most of their end date stuff is skipped with any meat being "doctored" to make it unfit for consumption...what a waste:eek:

We have a great new Morrisons near me and the whoopsies are fab. Most items get reduced to either 9p or 19p although woopsie time can vary from 4.30 to 7.00. My Mr T in contrast has rubbish woopsies.

No dtd but they will refund the difference if you phone up, cs are usually very good on the phone.
