Hi there - I was going to lurk tonight, but this time it's a post from SFSB from last night that gets me onto here:D.

Ritz Crackers have been vs T - why did you put them on a comp. vs M?!?

(In fact, it looks like the Ritz offer in T may be expiring tonight - they were 59p(?) in T but now showing on MSM and t.com as £1.19 - possible DTD???)

Okay, whilst I'm on here - and probably just 'popping in'(!) as RL beckons (isn't the internet, and forums on it, part of RL???) - a quick note that I've just noticed that my now expired Avs M list still says "still being updated" near the top, when it was effectively finished last weekend! For what it's worth, I'll just go and delete the "being updated" - but I'm not doing anything more than that, as it's already out of date and the new price collection is tomorrow.

I like having a May birthday as it is usually nice and sunny round about mine but not sure I am going to be so lucky this year.

My son was born May 13th. Was a cold windy day like today and nearly every year round about his birthday it is autumn/winter like weather. Cant remember him ever having a sunny birthday :eek:
My daughters is end of September and she nearly always has nice warm weather for hers .

Mind you, May is the best time to have a baby. Helps through those first few months of sleepless nights with the extra daylight and possibly warmer temps :rotfl:

I have an absolutely shocking and embarassing toiletry and make up stash Im like you, I can exercise control with everything else but these things. I have got a grip on it a bit in the last few months. I had to.....my OH nearly keeled over when he saw it in it's entirety:eek:......he had always thought that the overflow box under the bed was THE stash. Untill we tidied out the loft and I couldn't hide any longer

He point blank told me I had a problem :eek: Ive sold a fair amount of it on ebay to make him feel better :rotfl:

Been thinking and I wish THE stash box was just the one under the bed. There are at least 4 boxes and 2 crates under there, one box on top the wardrobe, 2 crammed drawers and 2 very big boxes in the upstairs cupboard.

I actually thought I was running out of shower gel because I had forgotten about the box on top the wardrobe. :eek:

I can not be tempted anymore as I think it was the last day they were giving out the No7 vouchers today.

New bzz campaign - yum products, they're going to send vouchers which will hopefully stack well with the one's from the T magazines

Thats all very well - if you know that there SHOULD be a 10 for £4 offer on the items. But 'normal' shoppers won't know anything about that so will not have any reason to check the prices before purchase. So, due to Asda keeping the offer quiet, they will effectively lose out on a better offer. I really can't see the sense in hav ing offers that the general public don't know about.

Also, there wasn't any problem with the dual offer on Mullers recently - both offers were on the SELS.

Only took another couple of posts later!! Just a thought about not knowing there should be an offer, what about the 'keeping quiet' about the 'prices behind the prices' - namely the competitor prices - they're not mentioned on the shelves are they? So people might lose out on a better offer by not picking up a different size of the same product that, when 10% off the price of elsewhere (where that size happens to be on special offer), works out cheaper and instead pick up the size that looks better in-store, on which the competitors are all more expensive. A's straight shelf price (or whichever store you are shopping in) on an item they have on roll-back/special may work out more expensive (per unit) than 10% off the price of a competitor on another size of the same item. "Normal" shoppers won't know anything about that, that there should be an offer, namely the one in the background*, at the competitor, against which the shoppers should be comparing!:D (Just a thought...)

*The 'price behind the price'



[Edit: In fact of course, T does sometimes mention competitor prices on the shelves - when they are more expensive, or when T is cheaper when you aren't taking up a multibuy offer that's (in the absence of price promises) better value at a competitor or when they and Aldi are, perhaps contrary to the expectation of some 'normal' shoppers, the same price. Of course, where T puts a higher price for A5da on the shelf display, that means the product is therefore best bought in A5da - and that you should [I][B]not[/B][/I] buy it in T - because these are the items that when bought in A5da in a single shop and put through the APG should refund back to 10% cheaper than T's shelf price! So... if you see a T price on the shelf and a higher price for A, then definitely buy it in A instead!!! Care over multibuys though - as medicine labels say, always read the label and see what the basis of T's comparison is - and I said "[I]should [/I]refund back to 10% cheaper" for no reason other than that the online prices used by MSM may in very rare occasions be out of step with T's information. It's not without risk therefore, but it's probably not too far out if you were to go into T, see what they have on the shelf showing Sada more expensive and then go and buy that list of items in A and submit the receipt into the APG. Normal customers may think T works out cheaper - in fact their marketing promotion of where Sada is more expensive should direct us to buy those items in A!! An afterthought in brackets:- longer than the original post!]
