    Well I am tired :rotfl: and just read 10 pages thats my excuse now did you see my post to you about carling dropping to £11 in asda now or soon :beer:
    I know it worked out at £10.80 recently on the apg but sometimes its nice to just walk to the shelf and buy something without having to count and recount :rotfl:

    Sorry David, must have missed that post..

    Compares @ £18.39 @ S

    Feels a BM brewing

    With sada you get the 10% cheaper than rival, the difference back plus the 10%.

    With Mr T's you get the difference plus club card points.

    With sains you get the difference on branded plus nectar card points.

    These are incentives to visit and re-visit the stores.

    When you factor mocs, wys, extra points and gitches into the mix then it becomes clear why we shop around in all of them.

    I used to be a value fiend but since finding this thread I use my noggin a bit more. (I think!)

    For instance my shop last night was £36.83 before savings. After savings and coupons I paid just over £17, then got the £10 pp back. Most of the coupons I used were T's cc mailings and pps with a few mag and internet too. I couldn't use most of these coupons anywhere else so I wouldn't have been able to get that price. I also got 111 cc points too.

    My local sada is an ex netto so it is rather pap in it's stock. I also have 2 T's expresses nearby and a sains local. Again, stock levels or range are quite narrow there. I have to travel by bus to the T's extras or sada supermarkets so I always consider each possibility before doing it.

    As I said I used to get all the value products or go to £ land, b&m etc. I still do, but it is also quite nice to have branded produce for the same price or sometimes less than the value stuff.

    Sorry, I do waffle:rotfl::rotfl::o
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    Morning all. :D
    Wonder if any of you have tried CSJ dog food http://www.csjk9.com/
    I have a hearing dog and was recommended this feed by my dogs trainer. Have found out many hearing dog owners and trainers use this now. It is about half the price of most other dog foods. If you go on the website, you can request some free samples and they are a generous size. They ask you if you have any feeding problems e.g. dog overweight, sensitive etc and send you samples that are appropriate.

    HTH :D
    :TWell after a fair few emails back and forth asking about our dogs health, condition, weight likes and dislikes etc they are sending us 6 samples to try.

    Well they have put the effort in so far, I do hope it passes the DW quality control (no DM she does not actually try it) as the expensive sample they are sending us works out just over £2 per kilo and the cheaper samples are about £1.50/k we are paying £4/k at the moment on taste of the wild :eek:.
    Found that referral code yet just in case ;)
