I can go days and days now without having to go shopping (apart from milk etc):T:T its great and when something comes along buy daft amounts of it and then no need to think about it for a year or two :T
Chest freezer has paid for itself many many times over.
When you see some of the prices out there it is scary what muggles are paying :eek:. But like I have said in the past someone needs to keep the big supermarkets profits up :rotfl:
I totally agree. I only go shopping about twice a week now ( unless theres a glitch) other than nipping out for bread and milk. My chest freezer is ancient and still going strong. I don't know what I'd do without it.....and my vacuum sealer which means I can get about 3 times as much stuff in it0 -

can one of you experts work the maths on this one out for pam please..
why not get 4x meal deals with 4 bottles of finest wine, 2 little bottles of blossom hill (or similar) and the 3 packs of finest sausages.
Maths not my strong point but am sure this will be a good deal for you, using your HH voucher and your wad of finest (trout dependent) vouchers.It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

Womble, >10% cheaper than everybody!!:mad::mad:
Robbed by the high price of Oreos at T... also the yogurt breaks (don't go Tvs A, they're cheaper in M - Avs M! - the strawberry at least). The CBY Chocos are have prices in red for A, as they're in the 3 for £3.
But look at that (marked in bold)... though glitch would be way better.

2 x Oreo Cookies - Double Stuff Chocolate (185g)£1.50£2.78
Comparison total (compared products only)£22.26£25.00
The 450g Sugar Puffs are a rolled-back price (compared to over £2 earlier on) but don't they know that 625g Sugar Puffs are £1.49 in T at the moment? (There's absolutely no excuse - as there are at least three T's (inc. Expresses) within 2 miles of the A store where they bought this.) Also, before that huge hike to £2+, the 450g in A (non comparable elsewhere) were £1. Also seems to me rather ripped-off by the 4pk Heinz Beanz - as opposed to the 6pk Heinz Beanz (a number of which I have in storage) at £1 several weeks back. Oh well, with people willing to pay that much, I ought to be selling 2/3rds of my £1 pack of beans for double the price to them, clearly they haven't got the time to save £1, on one item alone, and buy beans less frequently than they'll now doubtless need to. In these recessionary (or skirting recessionary) times, clearly some people have lots of money to burn...
They've overpaid on the yogurt breaks vs M's! But... quidco, quidco...!!!0 -
Just had dispatch emails for bikes that i ordered on free delivery. Ace!0

Wholemeal bread worked a treat so did Tescos instore baked loaves :T
But the bread buns were hard after they had defrosted

Savvybuyer wrote: »The Anchor's on 2 for £2 multibuy isn't it and not on a bogof in M? (M also have some Clover on £2 'buy one get one free' - in other words buy 1 Clover and 1 Clover light of the correct size.)
But neither the Anchor nor the Clover were on my lists (that is, those parts that have yet to be transferred to here) - and therefore, as I haven't taken them down, my details on them are sketchy (relying on my memory, excellent though it is most times:rotfl::rotfl:). This is because £1 each, or 10% cheaper than £1, is too much for me now - as that's 90p a tub and 'half price' offers at rivals to A on butter/margarine often go down to 87p straight (without any 10%).
My next-to-best at the moment is the I Can't Believe... 1kg at £1.50 straight in A (75p per 500g!). Also a Tvs A/S vs A item, but you have to buy other items just to get a 'price match'. I can't believe it's still on rollback in A - is this to end imminently or is A's 'price lock' of real substance? - although OOS last week in my A they did still have some left tonight.
I agree with you on Organic.
The best butter/marg. at the mo. is Stork 1kg - Avs T or Avs S (also Avs M but more risky) - cost £1.80 net via APG - then 50p more back on TCB Snap & Save. Making it £1.30 for 1kg. TCB offer ends 31/3.
So, if I were you, I'd rush off to your 24hr A tonight... Avs T seems to me best... and buy, well, much what I bought tonight in my two vs T shops - some of which you've already seen - but not the pies! - such as:
The Bird's Eye cod fish fingers (10 per pack) - 100% cod version.
Baby New Potatoes/Herbs & Butter
CBY Frozen 28 Battered Chicken Dippers (A £2 T £1 approx.)
penguin 9 pack (original) can go on there if you're using Shopitize (still quite good even if you're not)
Johnsons Baby Bath (blue) 500ml is another vs T item from the TCB list if you want.
[Strike]Sun-maid Natural California Raisins - it's a 500g pot (largely red in colour) - an unbelievable £3.45 at A and (don't know if this is unbelievable or not) 80p in T (I am hoping, hoping, hoping).[/Strike] Edit: Sun-Maid Raisins are coming back vs £3.15 for T (see another of my posts below).
You can get 2 packs of 150g Walkers sensations (two sep. items if diff are bought) vs T's 2 for £2 and then TCB snap and save quickly. There's six versions that compare (as far as I'm aware of) - Walkers Sensations 150g: Caramelised Onion & Balsamic Vinegar. Southern Style BBQ. Roasted Chicken & Thyme. Vintage Cheddar & Onion Chutney. Thai Sweet Chilli. Mexican Fiery Chipotle.
Plus the 1kg Stork.
That's eight items.
If you need any more, try SP Scourers 19p or SP Cloths 36p, SP Individual Strawberry Trifle 40p & Strawberry Cheesecake 36p (also vs T, and M), the Melon Slices 400g are N/A vs T and a very good price per unit in A! Also the 1kg English Root Veg pack NA vs T.
If you need milk, wait till tomorrow (or a second shop) where you can buy 4pt milk x3 vs M's. Of course, I have some (many many:rotfl:) ideas for excellent values vs M, I will of course draw attention to some of them later on here - after I've got further in checking the current, new M list. Perhaps a good one is Hartley Jelly x3 = vs M's any 3 for £1.00. Three different flavours = three sep. items (details of which flavours to follow later).
Oops...long, looooonnnggg post again.:rotfl::):mad:;)
Don't forget that not all shopitize offers are on at all shops. Got caught out with penguins before as they don't include Asda , same with the go ahead bars I got 2 nite. Is any1 able to help me out by giving me the barcodes for soft and gentle ? S many to pick from£365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am
