    Survey Q's about T's pp

    survey_zpsb911f7c6.jpg

    Oh, good evening by the way.
    Great minds... you've given exactly the same answers as I would have done - where can I do this survey (I'm sure I'll find out myself soon)?

    Seems there's some goings-on tonight with 'Finest' coupons, multibuys and the like but I must admit I'm not bothered given that I've now drawn a line under my T shopping and finished it off (in a fairly good position for me of course!!). Even though it seems like they always give with one hand then take back twice as much with the other. I shall only be shopping at T now if there are any discontinued clothes and the like going through at 1p (and I shan't be using my CC).

    But - for anyone who still wishes to get 10 (!!!) items to merely, at best, match the same price as elsewhere and pay T more by having to buy fillers or non-comparables they wouldn't need to buy elsewhere, these seem like fairly good to me (versus A): Sherbet Fountain, Barratt Fruit Salad (single), Chupa Chups XXL Lolly and pack of refreshers - all in the 4 for £1 at T and all of them non-comparable to A. Four items towards the 10, together with a loose banana (five items). The one I'm more partial to is the sherbet fountain. Although I'll be buying the Sherbet Fountains only, and in fours, at S in future (39p each vs T 4 for £1.00). I don't need to shop at T: I'm using my both my A and S as a T in future. Think T may be up to something again as items keep mysteriously disappearing from its website, the Sherbets are, at least, not showing on MSM for T anymore.

    I'm pleased that my last laugh - and many thanks to A for being cheaper - was the Heinz Spaghetti tins. Yesterday they were showing as 29p on a.com, which I thought may have been a mistake but from looking around, I see it has been genuinely charged in A. In any event, I managed to get T to include in a voucher 4x refund from T's 65p to A's 29p.

    Today - I'm v. pleased as A's price has shot up to 59p a tin. So my last shot at T last night! T had the spaghetti tins on multibuy 5 for £3 yesterday, but no longer today it seems. So perhaps I'd say buy 5 in T if yours still has a multibuy SEL showing. But an overcharge doubled (I haven't worked it out though) would probably be more than 29p x5? If so, avoid, as this potential DTD would be more expensive.

    I avoided the T multibuy that was on yesterday, increasing the amount per can put onto my PP voucher, and took advantage of T's multibuy on the non-comp sweets (the best four in order of price per unit - next best after these is the Wham rocket single - buy (or don't buy at all since it's T!!) one each, total four, certainly do not buy 3 as T's price for three is more expensive than the amount they charge for four). Bloody T gave the PP but then made it not valid until today. So I sneaked back after midnight (figured out I would never get time tonight after work) and bought the Crosse & Blackwell multipacks on £1.49 as my family wanted branded chicken soup (not own-brand) and only T had these. Offer said until 19/3/13 - but item appears not to be on t.com as of now.

    Then got some price alerts from MSM - apparently they suggest buying Heinz spaghetti 4 packs - any 2 for £3.00 at T - in other words having to multibuy and pay £1.50 for each pack of 4. 4 x 29p = ??? A lot less I can tell you!! (And 4 x29 is less than 10% cheaper than £1.50 per 4, so no good now A'ing vs T.) So the new 2 for £3.00 is no good, MSM! They also alerted me that T's own brand 4 pack tomato soup is now price dropped to £2.00. As opposed to the C& B 4 pack multipacks that are (were) £1.49 each until today!!

    why can life be so cruel sometimes

    took my dad back to hospital and theyve hospitalised him thinking his cancer has come back
    only good thing hes a lot stronger than the last lot of chemo and the have said they will treat him if it is

    they only gave him all clear in december


    Wait 'til they give you full info :A. It may not be aggressive even if it has returned. They are probably being cautious so try to remain positive. Fingers crossed for you all.Px

    Evening all

    Have my t's shop ordered for delivery tomorrow morning..
    Am I right in thinking my lamb should be charged at the £4 a kilo price as it says despite the fact it went into basket at £10.99 kilo.
    Sure this is what flo flo said last week. Found some scampi showing at half price but in basket at full price so added that. Have added 3 of the finest parmiganio and checks out with discount.
    I used finest code plus the £5 off £40 that t's emailed me so hopefully will get another one for next week.
    I have no problem in sending stuff back with driver so will report in when delivered.

    I was wondering if anyone knows if the Nectar Sainsbees coupons stack, for example 400 points x £40 spend, 180 points for £30 spend and £80 for £20 spend. Can I use them all on one £40 transaction? :D

    Many thanks in advance. x
    Wishing you all good luck!
