    Thank you Vanilla Twist :T:T:T:beer:

    Good morning, you knew I'd be back didn't you? Regarding Sains vs whoever, I've decided to go for one 24pk of Coke after all, as at T's price (of 6.3p/100ml), it's just above my guide of 5p/100ml but I should be getting £2.50 nectar 'reward' anyway (spending just over £22.50).

    I've decided to buy some items for the work's tuck shop, so I've put on Children's Bumper Bag and Lot of Lollies - MSM says T is 240g but really it's 210g (on t.com) which is the same as S on MSM - S £2.00 T £1.00. I'm having a pack of Trebor Extra Strong Mints Peppermint (4) T £1.82 vs £1.00.

    Also:
    Oust Odour Eliminator Outdoor (300ml) (green top) T £2.25 S £1.12 - not great but there's 30p back off TCB Snap&Save, so let me have one aerosol please and don't take the last one off the shelf!!
    (Or I'll never tell you in advance of my shop again.)

    There's these:
    SPC Nature's Finest various in Juice 400g:
    Tropical Fruit Salad
    Mango
    Pear
    Or Pineapple
    S £1.49 T £1.00
    Showing as just "Natures Finest" on t.com, but I've now found it nonetheless!

    And to get to just shy of £10, the 4 of the individual sweet packs (again, some of these will end up in the shop) - I have had Sherbet Fountain & Refreshers on my shopping, but (while they're on MSM for T and not marked OOS) they seem to have disappeared from t.com!:mad: I've tried the bringing up all items within the 4 for £1 on T's website. The Wham Rocket (25g), at 45p each for Sains., is being used but, if I got four, it would exceed the £10 limit. Has anyone got the Refreshers pack and/or the Sherbet Fountain on t.com?

    Else I may end up putting a Barratt Dib Dab pack on my shopping - although (as ever for me!) reluctant to do so as it's available in A and therefore 4 for 90p not 4 for £1 (via APG). Done to the end on that now! Broken record...

    Anyroad, since I'm (paint is drying folks:rotfl:) only getting one Dip Dab, if any at all, I can pretend I've saved since I could only have got one if I'd have gone to A - the other parts of the buy in 4s mix and match at S vs T only being avail. in S & T - and T's price for one on the Dip Dab alone is 36p, compared to A's 30p, so I would have lost out if buying only one in A (vs T) - should have bought one A vs S or W, but then would be 27p (30p S/W-10%) i.e. more expensive per pack than 4 versus T (4 for £1.00) working at 25p each (but only if you get four) less 10% - I might get another one properly, from A, for the tuck shop again no doubt, along with the single Strawberry Chewits pack and a couple of others that compare from A (total 4)!! Next Avs T shop - there's some good offers in T, wish I'd have known to put them on my last shop which turned out to compare to T though (with the 'usual suspects').

    davemorton - I think that's why you've had just 2 pages to catch up with. SB hasn't been on here till now, so no doubt the thread will run and run into pages now I'm back!! frequent and others - I may just have a look at S vs A for you - a suggestion, if instead doing S vs T and buy 2x 24 pk cokes - perhaps the final 2pence could be taken up by one of those 90% off items in Sains, if you find one and if it turns out to be an own brand.

    [Additional: not liking the BE Crispy Chickens being put down in price in Sains, to match T. Or the Rustler's Hot Subs Chicken not being sold by my own S. - this may work for you but check as T is £1.40 (surely this product has been £1.00 before - and therefore we shouldn't be matching this price)?]

    But if it is non-fried nuts, it is a good saturated fat. (research it?!) :)
