    A vs Sains result - :mad::mad:, big eat rolls N/A at Sains, along with multis showing on Cookies and Nutri-grains. But... Carex still working!:):j(Although I lost that to the expensive buns - others may be more lucky/less risk taking.)

    There was no Smarties Cones trigger on this one (out of stock in-store) but I can pretend there was as the comparison would probably look the same:D.

    Happy with the £7.51 back though:):) - it's more than the amount I had debited from my bank account:eek: after the APGs I had were taken off. So, in all, a profitable shop - though I'm doubtless double-counting that and making it seem better...!:D

    Why £7.51?

    A vs Morries - watch it be all N/A:rotfl::rotfl:- or compare to full prices for M - particularly as I am going for those craftier comparable items and mix and matches:rotfl::D. Who's betting the agency team haven't identified the items as comparable (as they've not calculated as good as I have:D:o) or that they've missed scanning them:(:mad: again??!!

    How hard for you TS. I often drive past the house I grew up in and it still pulls at my heart strings. So many happy memories. And that's why it's bittersweet:o

    Oh I forgot to tell you all about a story that did my heart in!

    I was in Mr T's yesterday at the Woopsie Fridge. I left my Trolley with my voucher booklet in (and those who know me know this is more valuable than my wallet) and went to get some stuff. I was waiting patiantly for the chap to reduce some prawns and other stuff. I turn round to put them in my Trolley and my booklet has gone! :eek::eek:

    I ran like mad but couldn't see anyone. I ran to security who tell me that's a blind spot - what?! OMG.

    They start radioing around when OH calls me and says - "YOu shouldn't leave it lying about"!

    I could've killed her! She'd only gone and took it to teach me a lesson :rotfl::rotfl::o:o

    I felt sick!

    Well done mrs angelmadv:T:T:T:rotfl::rotfl:

    Avs Morries.

    Yes, absolutely, those items in the mix and match and the Steak Pie (Morries McDougalls one is now 650g) N/A as predicted. (:(:mad::mad: but knew it would happen.)

    As predicted, they haven't calculated the pie weight to within the 10% weight range that it now is. Nor do they appear to have picked up either the H/R Ham or the Cocktail Sausages.:( Only £1.74 voucher - it'll be made up to a lot more later though! This one for CS.

    (Also just noticed, not as much out, the Choc Party Rings appearing - but yet again an item they apparently failed to scan!!:mad: - in a sense can't really blame them, it's a long laborious job scanning every single item - and they do each one three times apparently to reduce the likelihood of errors we're told:rotfl: - they get bored, errors start coming in, I've said it before, they are 'normal people' - who probably, like 99% of people (by definition, that might be what's "normal" folks;):rotfl:), see work more for social conversation and chit-chat rather than having focussed ability to concentrate heavily and ensure every item is comprehensively and without fail covered and scanned.)

    Okay, back out now for the rest of the sunshine!!:j:j

    Why £1.74?
