davemorton

lol, thanks for offering to type them up, after I am half way there. Right, you type them up, then send the list to me, I will number them randomly 1-40 (or how ever many there are) then people chose a number (I thought a pound, but frequent is being really generous!) the number that comes in, they chose the charity, but it will hasve to be a charity on justgiving, or makeawish.
Get on to it girl

davemorton

frequent, do you want to pick 5 numbers?? If all the numbers get taken, then we will just release the numbers again, and 2 charitys can benefit.

Now normaly on a sweepsteak, you dont get to choose your horse, but on this occasion, you can. FC, people will have to choose what charity they want, or there is no risk involved (if you know what I mean,) this way they pay a pound, or whatever, and if their horse wins, they get to choose the charity. Tell me if I am taking this too far.

Anyay, is that list typed up??

Not at all Dave.

Good chance to raise some much needed funds for charity.

If anyone of us, can afford £1 for a flutter on the National, then we can afford a £1 donation to charity, in my very humble opinion.

Anybody thinking, like me, that we might be seeing the end of multibuys at A5DA? They are advertising 'PRICE LOCK' now 'where prices go down and stay down'.

I did feel there seemed fewer multibuys when I was looking on sada.com earlier. MSM, at that time, was of course no help! (Sharp change in direction...) I recently drew attention to the 1kg I Can't Believe It's Not Butters being £1.50 in A, the day before the price increased to £2.46!! To be fair to A though, those products had been at £1.50 for quite some time, not like the impression I get with T where prices seem to go up one week, down the next and then back up again. Then they are back two weeks later on the 'half price' offer that finished two weeks before.

With A, I do feel they have a valid point and that, generally, when their prices go down, they do seem to stay down for some time. For example, the Sada 6 Free Range Medium Eggs - albeit a product they draw attention to in their promos - have been £1.00 for 6 for several months (albeit that I saw some 6 pack eggs in Lidl/Aldi at 95p the other day (whichever of these two stores I was in, days blur into the next)).

The 300-odd gram Sugar Puffs were £1.00 for 'ages', until one Saturday (the day after I just grabbed, of impulse, a pack onto my shopping as a filler against an N/A competitor) they shot up to well over £2. Then, shortly after, they came back down again - but to £1.50 (marked by MSM at that point as a 'savvy buy' as more than one third off the £2.40-odd price - but not very savvy at all as they were a pound before).

So, yes, there are some products where it seems Sada price reductions do stay on for longer than perhaps usually the case elsewhere. They have some element of a point in what they are saying, I feel.
