    Was this at an express Snap?

    I don't let any SA get their hands on my 1p items now. No matter how friendly they look or helpful they've been in the past. Straight to self service. The one time a supervisor took my 1p bargains I was furious :mad:

    Trust no-one!

    Superstore & I was on SS but the item in bagging area alert happened :(

    Hi All

    I bought 10 Frijji, new pots and S&G at 9.40pm - will post results later.

    Had a few shopping related incidents since last here ......

    1. Bit of whiplash from a shopping trolley. Put coin in and moved backwards to release the trolley, as you do, and someone was literally right behind me. I had no idea they were there and banged into their trolley and jolted my back and neck :mad:. I looked at them and said "where did you expect me to go?" - didn't say anymore as it was a shock and was met with just a stare from a very worn out looking person. I didn't realise at the time I had been hurt but when I was walking round the shop the pain began. Anyway have taken it easy and applied gel and had painkillers and on the mend.

    2. Sporting a large gash on my big toe from trying to cram too many Paroli tinned toms into cupboard :o - a tin fell out and sliced through my toe :(.

    3. Few days ago I was sitting in my car inbetween visiting and going to T's, I had pulled over as wanted to look on my phone, in the shade, as no shade in supermarket carpark.
    After around ten mins I heard "hello miss" and there was an arm in my car :eek: (passenger side) - I had both front windows open at the top to let air in - but didn't think that would happen! I turned to look at the guy while assessing if he did want to say hello and had no understanding of boundaries - soon as I turned round to say "can you take your arm out of my car" I saw he was looking at my bag on passenger seat (I alway put the bag strap around gearstick just incase anyone tried to snatch). I immediately started the car and he promptly took his arm out and went away. There would not have been enough elbow room for him to get near my bag - but bit of a shocker and invasion of space. So becareful if you are looking at your phones, in the car.

    Went via topcash to Groupon to get the Marks offer. I had £6 credit so mine was free :j

    OH did the same, went to his and there was £5 credit, no idea where it came from or how long it had been there. So his marks was also free.

    Here is hoping for a Marks voucher now £5 wys £30 - could you use one of these and 2 Groupon deals at once??

    Or maybe as they did once before a 25% off four wines so you get four meal deals :)

    :eek::eek:Good evening folks - for the first time, my Avs M list has now exceeded the 25,000 character limit!

    I've managed to shorten part of it down (no longer listing all the Mila Rose possible triggers?) but it may have to encroach into the Tvs M post a little. (Northern Ireland folks - please ignore the rest of this post, sorry.)

    I'll keep going for now (2 pages left to go, out of 10) - but while I'm here a few things that (unbelievably) I omitted to mention last night. First - I'm not a great expert on non-groceries:o:o - I noticed that M have some DVDs (on a 'Father's Day' promo.) from £3. Obviously not as good as DTD with T and mispriced ones (or twos!:rotfl:) - I saw titles including X Men Origins, Cloverfield, Dad's Army and The A-Team at £3. Tell me on here whether to include that in my 'cheaper at M' post or not!

    Second, someone asked what the Dr Oetker Pizzas now compared to - and I said vs Sains. in 2s, although not very good. I should mention the Dr Oetker Ristorante pizzas (all the ones that were originally in my M post on an earlier thread) are 2 for £4 in M as well, but seems far more safe vs S.

    Anything else to mention? Failing to make my list, but just so you don't compare vs S at £1, or, like I did:(:o, T at much higher, are Coke Zero 1.5L at 84p (until 16/6) in M.

    I've also found a number of extra items for Avs S (as a result from checking the M prices), but details may have to wait till tomorrow evening - or whenever I can manage/remember - I've saved them into my private Avs S on msm for me to retrieve later.

    Those bird products, the Bob Martin Avia Sand Sheets Large (8) are - with care - Avs S at 66p. (M's price is 82p.) I've now added 'with care' as I've noticed some difference between msm logged in and msm out for me.

    Logged out, it has A at £1.00 for the Sand Sheets Medium. They are N/A everywhere else. It does not have Sand Sheets Large for A logged out.

    The BM Large Sand Sheets appear to be Tvs S logged out (88p vs 66p). However, logged in, and I have Large Sand Sheets for A - and no Medium! - A 88p S 66p and T at '88p out of stock':rotfl:.

    Don't mix up - it's the Large version needed, 88p in A, should compare to 66p in Sains (and 10% cheaper) based on what's logged in. There may be some other bits that cross my mind at some point - till then, goodnight!!:)
