Afternoon luvlies, need to love you and run, seem to have been chasing my tail all day. Just wanted to post my simple shop which was done at 10:51 today. I didn't realise the items must be on offer in M too. I'll post results against M first with S underneath. Catch up later xx

These Simples are the three I've tried tonight. Results due just after midnight:mad: (I don't like it when it goes into new days).

It's not just MSM that isn't showing any '3 for £6' multibuy on them - but sada.com as well. This suggests the multibuy is being taken off them (price changeover at A seems to be Friday night, midnight i.e. start of Saturday morning).

I'm just back from A - and A and A!!:rotfl:First A I went to - had no multibuy offer showing on shelf for the Simples anymore:(. So I went onto a nearby Sada Supermarket - and found the "3 for £6" on SEL across all three items!! So of course I went straight for them (in a multiple of 3)!!

I was hoping for a £2 giftcard extra, but the items, when I scanned them this time!, gave the multibuy instore. Which suggests that the multibuy is still going - but I think you'd better be quick as it looks like the website now has none, i.e. it will end on the instore pricing scanning system at precisely midnight sharp tonight.

This may be the 'online delivery' thing - prices for online (later in the day especially) are the following day's prices. MSM takes these prices, from its scan of websites, which is why I sometimes say if an offer at a competitor of A (i.e. T, S or W) is expiring soon, do not buy on the last date of the offer, as MSM will probably have tomorrow's pricing on it - in this case, neither a.com nor MSM have multibuy on (suggests this is the 'tomorrow price') but it's still available in-store (as of an hour ago)!! Hoping that, having got 3 for £6.00, system then compares 3x £3.00 (as per online prices).

I was comparing vs M - need one each of the three Simples plus fillers or items cheaper at M. I think most people are going vs S (where its a 2 for £4.00 offer rather than a lower individual price), so that seems is why people are buying a total of six across the various Simples (3+2+1 or 4 of one and 2 of the other) and, for NI readers, this is your only option (unless I'm corrected).

[Edit: do not buy Dove Men+Care vs M. More of my shopping experiences:rotfl:to come tonight - thought I'd better get this out ASAP otherwise may miss the Simples on the instore multibuy.]

I carry my little bottle of Champneys anti bac hand wash with me (thanks to a Mr Shoes glitch a long time ago). All the nasty chavvy people give me funny looks when I put it on when I am on the train. All my colleagues used to laugh at me when I worked at the library/information point. Frantically hand washing my hands each time I had contact with a service user! :o

that anti bac is by far the most pleasant smelling one mimi. Glad you're protecting your lovely hands. Let them laugh, I say. We'll be shopping when they're sat on the sofa nursing the latest infection
