    The Star Prize . com (with no spaces, it got censored) on Facebook :D They often post little prizes on Facebook but this is the first time I have won with them.

    Evening all

    Question for our resident t's garden expert aau1.
    If I order something in the garden double up to collect in t's will they still do a price promise as it is £15 cheaper elsewhere but as it is in the double up I am not sure if they will price match.
    I want to by the mower/strimmer package which I believe is only £55 in b and q.
    Being mse and sacking the gardener. New neighbours have been doing a good job on joint front garden so I now only have a square patch at the back to mow.
    Gardener has been a bit slap dash lately so now is the time to do it myself.

    VT are you asking if you can get a tesco PP on your garden items? If so, then the answer is no. PP is only for groceries.

    Or am I misunderstanding your question? :o

    How posh are you with a gardener- Lady VT;)

    Yes I know nerfdad, I'm too posh to push:rotfl::rotfl:
    Gardener was because of my arthritis but since I mentioned sacking him at least 3 people have offered to help me. Can manage on a good day.

    Well it will be a £30 a month saving and mower/strimmer is £70.
    Can do a lot with £30 a month, thats an extra holiday every year:eek:

    Aaaaah, I didn't realise they were in gravy (my local As is only a small one and I grabbed them without even checking as they were the only S/P ones on the shelf).
    I had a feeling the ham was wrong but again it was the only one there.
    Both these are items I normally buy anyway (DH will eat meatballs in anything, I could probably feed him balled up cat food in gravy and he wouldn't notice :D ) so I'm not upset.
    Wonder why the ham doesn't compare as I have both value and S/P side by side here and they look the same to me :( both 400g.

    It's easy enough to do, regarding gravy/tomato sauce/other things - I think they sometimes do this in order to try to confuse us into getting the wrong one! Which, let's face it, when normal people are in a rush in a store, and have about a few seconds per item to decide on, is highly likely. I liked the part about the cat food in gravy!:D
    The ham, I think it was something to do with the number of slices in them. The S/P W/T variety shows N/A for elsewhere on MSM, only the cooked has prices elsewhere (come to think of that - must check whether vs M was glitching, not able to do that immediately sorry). I think there may also be a Sains Basics version of the wafer thin, to which the WT S/P one also doesn't compare. (Also, since Sains. slightly changed the composition of the standard-range (not basics) chicken slices at 70g it has, MSM only compares the ham and not the chicken on those, may even no longer have the comparable ham there. M too now has non-Savers W/T Roast Chicken at 400g, which shouldn't be comparable from A CBY W/T Cooked Chicken - however I don't know whether or not it ever glitches and compares anyway, as I never buy the product due to it being non-comparable (it's usually more expensive in A and risking the N/A than buying it straight in M without the 10% - all of 20p let's face it!) M have the W/T Cooked Ham 400g (this is the standard range, not the 'value' ones) and W/T Honey Roast Ham 400g, the A CBY W/T Cooked Ham would compare to M's W/T Cooked, but it's not as cheaply priced as the SP/Savers/Value/Basics version.)

    Sorry fc I meant would they reduce to price match like some places ( homebase b and q) do?
    Just working out least amount of vouchers to buy, oh I have nectar and argos might check what argos are selling it for. I have love to shop vouchers too.

    Its getting very confusing with all these points from various places and vouchers (from tcb). Must work out what I have ( thats my nett worth nerfdad:p)

    Sure my gardener blew the grass cutting under my door on purpose:eek:
