    I agree that the shower gels in themselves maybe aren't worth a special trip - for me, these kind of glitches are very good as fillers on an otherwise planned shop - getting something wanted and useful (and in this case quite nice) for say 20p or 30p instead of freddos or yet more chopped tomatoes (:D).

    Same reason I get the Tropicanas each time in an A vs T or S shop - at £1.35 they may be slightly more than the Innocent, but for 24p more (?) it is a very yummy "filler" that I need/use anyway.

    Tropicana 50 is £1 in A just now

    THE WORST ANIMAL RESCUE

    During the firemen's strike of 1978, the British Army had taken over
    emergency firefighting and on 14 January they were called out by an
    elderly lady in South London to retrieve her cat which had become trapped
    up a tree. They arrived with impressive haste and soon discharged their
    duty. So grateful was the lady that she invited them all in for tea.
    Driving off later, with fond farewells completed, they ran over the cat
    and killed it.

    Yup. Steven Pile's Book of Heroic Failures (and its sequel) is one of my favourite books ever. DH and I have owned many copies over the years, because every time we lent it out we never got it back again. Should you stumble over a copy, invest! :D

    I don't have a copy to hand, but I particularly remember crying with laughter over the guy who wanted to write was it a French to English dictionary, using only a French/ Portugese and a Portugese/ English dictionary. Some of the translations were priceless. :T

    Disagree :D :rotfl:

    if we all did it there would be no whoopsies

    My thoughts too. ;) I don't think much gets wasted in my local, once it's reduced in the evening it all goes. The only thing I see hanging around are those fresh gravy/sauce sachets. :cool:

    Hi, Ihaven't used Mr T for Pricer Promise yet, could somebody confirm you need to buy 10 different items - Is it like Mr A whereby some items might come back N/A so you should always buy more.

    Don't see anybody posting Fillers to make up the 10 items for Mr T

    Sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick don't think I have lol

    Appearing as n/a on the results doesnt mean you need to buy more than 8 items in A (or 10 items in T)

    No contest :) Would rather pay 35p more for the pure squeezed juice rather than a "Juice Drink" - have you tried the Trop 50? Had some when T's had the mocs - very different animals, but very clever marketing ......

    comparable is what I meant so if 1 of your 10 in Mr T did't compare what that mess up PP or does everything compare in Mr T

    Thanks
