    Iamsohappy Im back to normal here. Savvy must've finished doing his list ;)

    Oh, not quite:(. Probably someone on here trying to change the location of my lists and catch me and everyone else out!! My sig (a thousand miles away, below:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) is now self-explanatory, so I really don't need to explain.

    (But you know I'll do so anyway;)...A vs M now carried forward, I've removed what's expired - even noticed I checked more items than I thought yesterday - deleted one, as I thought I hadn't checked it, then reinstated it as it turns out I did:eek: - list correct for M prices as it stands, but perhaps wait till a lot more new items get added.)

    M cheapest (we hope!) and T vs M - M prices now updated and list seems therefore correct as far as it stands (some T prices may have altered, but you're looking to M price) but new items to be added as and when found.)

    Okay - it's five past eleven (early night for me!:rotfl::rotfl:), but that's enough for a day - I welcome the new thread and off now to catch up with the tail end of the last one, in case I missed anything, and I'll be back tomorrow evening (somewhat earlier I hope!) to start adding those new items.

    For now - I perhaps did a bit of a 'highlight' yesterday as said the Savers Rice Pudding had increased in price - but a couple of items (as regards T Eday vs Savers) being crossed out on the T vs M list, since M has introduced offers on its standard range item - while the Savers version of these products has no equivalent in A, the standard version does and, even though the price of the standard (with their offers) at M are more expensive (per unit) than the Savers version (if you bought in M), Avs M on the standard, with the 10%, becomes cheaper than a straight price match on the Savers that there is no A S/P version of in A! Hope that's clear (...as mud probably:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::o;)).

    I'm also starting a T vs A post list, of sorts, by copying onto it the items on which T and M are price matched on the T vs M list - these should all be N/A fillers on Tvs A.

    Enough, way enough..!:eek:

    Good night folks.:wink::wave:

    Zippy, lost at the moment, but it may come to me soon :rotfl:

    If he gets mags he leaves me coupons and he often leaves sweets for the kids :A he's absolutely lovely ( he'll be blushing ) but he's shy and keeps promising he will join in.

    Just shows how many people are watching that we don't know about!

    Bad news on that Zippy, I tried to do it, but they wanted card details to ensure I was 'proper'. Wish now I had bought one of those throw away visa cards, or borrowed a friends who does not use that certain site. sick now, as my cunning plan has been squashed. But I will keep observing, and I do have another cunning plan in the making ;)

    Interesting. I'll remember that for the future. For our next trip EJ was about the same price as the BA taxes & charges I didn't factor in the cost of the Avios because we have loads to spare. Made the decision to go BA because the flight is generally nicer, better food, seats recline and better luggage allowance (2 suitcases each). We are still at the stage where an extra suitcase of home stuff is useful.

    It was only when I was going one extra seat on the return leg only that I realised the outward taxes are about £130 but the return only £37! May make sense in future to fly outward EJ and back with BA Avios!

    Not sure where you are? But the outward taxes helps guess.

    Anyway, when we get free hold luggage on BA, we use it! At Easter full of all sorts of useful stuff including kitchen stuff, computer stuff not easily damaged, shampoo, dishwasher tabs etc etc.

    And the kids are allowed to order loads of Cokes etc off the cabin staff (I make them say please & thankyou!) because we've paid for it.

    But on EJ it's just nothing much in the way of carry on, just enough food to avoid buying any lol.

    Your taxes outward means your journey is longer than my 2 hours or so, therefore comfort is more of an issue.

    For us, EJ is a good choice on price regardless of comfort.
