    So waht are you using yours for and do you need any more? I've got 5 and will use one tommorrow defo. If I get a tablet I'll use another but think I've got three spare.
    Well mine will go towards my posh dish ;)
    I ordered 24 bottles of wine the other day :eek: so no need for that unless the finest has some daft offer on them ;)

    Spiralling Down......So sorry you are feeling such pain, but like David says you need to be there for your lovely son as he is for you.
    It doesn't help that your beast is continually wrecking your home every time you leave the house. Hopefully you will be able to find a home for him in the near future but until then try to stay strong. Wish there was something i could do to make things easier for you. Huge hugs Caz x

    Yes, surprise, if you rush out to W today they have (according to MSM) Hartley's Fruit Filling Black Cherry (although it's showing a picture of Princes?) for 2 for £1.50 - 410g - works out at 18.3p/100g (a bit more like it) - says offer valid till 2/4. (But perhaps afterwards it'll go to a better offer??? Who knows, always about timing and not always got right.)

    Many thanks for all your good wishes but bad news I am sorry to day, Mam didn't make it through the night :( My sister was sitting with her and Mam passed away peacefully just after 3am. My sister stayed while they changed Mam into a nice fresh nightdress and tidied her up and then rang her hubbie to drive her home. As we said, Mam is out of any suffering now and is at peace

    At 93, Mam has had a good innings considering the fact that she has been in and out of hospital most of her life. She was born 5th Sept 1919, the smaller of twins. At less than 2lb weight, she survived whereas her bigger brother died at birth. So she was a fighter from the start it seems. She had TB when 16 or 18 and has always had a very weak chest, which she passed on to my sister and I in our asthma. I can always remember her having to go into hospital regularly over the years for her asthma. Later she developed angina too, and she had very bad arthritis with her hands and feet badly twisted and painful. But there you are, she got to 93 and it was only in the last 4 or 5 years that the dementia got to her and she was only diagnosed with altziemers 3 1/2 years ago, so she was able to see and enjoy her great-granddaughters grow up to age 7 & 11. And she did so love to see them :j Greatest loss was the death of her only grandson when he was only 21, knocked down and killed by a train, 18 years ago next week, so she doted on her only granddaughter, and, as I said, her two girls. The joy of her life and what kept her going, we think. They will miss her dreadfully and it will be hard as they lost their other great-grandma 15 months ago to cancer, their Uncle Alan Mr 3Dogs last year and now this, poor girls, but they now understand the cycle of life and death :(

    I will take it easy today, have lunch here as Andy is doing a lovely roast beef dinner (free DTD beef from Tosco of course) and drive home later, about tea-time. Then drive up North tomorrow. I know there is no rush now, but my sister needs me and I will be there for her, and my brother too

    Aww 3dogs so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you. Your Mum is in a better place x

    £2.00
    Plant Pots ????
    Also - ALL items that are on Tvs M (next post below); for T Eday Value, read M Savers etc.

    There's also Snickers 5 for the price of 4 pack - £1.00, which works out cheaper per g than Avs M on the straight 4pk. However, the price of the '1 extra free' was scanning at £1.88 in M last Wednesday. Member of staff told me that it was a promotion by Snickers rather than M, so the price was therefore £1.88 (even though the 4pk M had in store was £1.00 - I queried how that was '1 free'?)
    Went to CS - and lady went into the store and checked - they had both the 4pk and the 4+1pk in the same cardboard holder, with a price of £1.00 under it. No mention of £1.88 anywhere on shelf. She refunded the 88p, no question, and said the 5pk (4+1) were £1.00 and said she wasn't sure why it was scanning at £1.88.
    So, if you can get the 4+1 pack for equivalent £1.00, then do. (Don't get the straight 4 pk at that price, as it works out more expensive, more than buying 4pk at Avs M (itself more expensive than the 4+1 from M for £1.00.) Of course M could have taken the £1 offer off as of today.:mad: Or it might still be ongoing, I don't know.)

    And here is Tvs M back!

    This is just what I've picked up - I haven't been able to trawl the thread and add more items that you may have found...

    T v M - not Northern Ireland (prices for M taken 28/3: maybe Tvs M will result in all N/A now due to the bank holidays???)
    Tesco Avocados Ripen at Home (4)
    £1.50 £1.00 (T weren’t matched to M’s price last time, at £1.20, so now a price increase in T to £1.50!)
    Tesco Yellow Plums pack (400g) (showing OOS for an equivalent for A)
    £1.50 £1.00
    Cadbury Favourites Treatsize Variety (360g)
    £3.50 £2.00* (*a little more than one eek at the M price)
    Chewits 5 pack
    £1.35 £1.00
    T Eday Value Chocolate Chip Cookies (250g)
    40p 40p (or ASDA Smartprice Chocolate Chip Cookies (200g) at 32p as a filler to any shop, same price per g, as outside the 10% weight limit)
    McVities Mini Cheddars (12)
    £2.99 £1.49 (until 7/4) - still more expensive, at £1.49, than A vs a competitor when the competitor (now expired) is down to a low of 90p on the 7 pack version.
    Hula Hoops Classic Variety (12)
    £2.80 £1.36 (until 7/4)
    Dr Oetker Gelatine (70g)
    69p 69p (also vs S, or A as N/A and already price-matched)
    Panapol Luncheon Meat Konserwa Turystyczna 300g
    £1.15 55p
    T Eday Value 6 White Pitta
    40p 22p
    [Strike]T Eday Value Corn Flakes 500g
    31p 31p (or vs S at same price or T vs A N/A)[/Strike] Get A S/P 750g Cornflakes (vs M) as slight glitch on APG
    Brioche Pasquier Pitch Pains au Chocolat (6)
    £1.70 £1.00
    Brioche Pasquier Pitch Chocolate Chip (6)
    £1.69 £1.00
    T Eday Value Malt Loaf
    40p 28p (last week 30p at T, last week and this week* 28p at M, so what shall we do?) *28/3/13
    T Eday Value Sultana Scones (10)
    50p 50p (also Tvs S or T vs A as NA, or buy equiv. in Aldi at same price)
    Thorntons 10s – Mini Caramel Shortcakes or Chocolate Fudge Brownies
    £1.00 £1.00 (or Tvs A N/A, or Sains. BM vs T - S £1.40 T £1.00 - so we don't have to shop in T. Or just buy all the T vs M in M itself!)
    T Eday Value Mixed Fruit Jam 454g
    29p 29p (also vs S as same price, and also T vs A as NA in A)
    T Eday Value Sardines in Tomato Sauce 120g
    34p 34p (or T vs S N/A or vs A N/A)
    T Eday Value Ham 300g
    99p 99p (or vs S N/A, vs A N/A)
    [Strike]T Eday Fish Fingers (10 per pack - 250g)
    60p 60p (as SP appear no longer to be avail. in A - so it's another price incr. of 11.111...% buying them in T vs M's same price)[/Strike] Back in stock at A now, so Avs M, and Avs T as T is also 60p
    T Eday Value Apple Crumble (frozen) 400g
    88p 80p
    Daz Concentrated Violet Blossom Blast/Summer Flower Power 880ml
    £4.00 £2.00
    T Eday Value Toothbrushes (2)
    18p 18p (also Tvs S at same price and Tvs A as N/A in A)
    T Eday Value Shampoo 1L
    40p 40p (or vs S 40p or vs A N/A - in fact, try vs A to see if glitches and compares vs A's 500ml at 20p)

    By definition, ALL Tvs M products, on which T and M are already price-matched, are also capable of being Tvs A fillers - as A should have no equivalent. (If A did have any equivalent, it'd be on Avs M, for 10% cheaper, rather than Tvs M for a price match.)
