Extra Lessons In Tempting Essentials

I joined my local buying and selling group on facebook. I can't believe the prices people pay for hand crafted rubbish.

My favourite is new born baby hair bands covered in bows for £25. They model them on their own and friend's babies I guess. Can someone please explain why a new born baby with hardly any hair needs a two inch wide hair band?

Hi, obviously no practical point to them, but the accessory possibly helps others see the baby is a girl (if not dressed in pinks?)

Hi everyone (and this time it is everyone:D). My T and S vs A list is mainly a T vs A at the moment. Just letting you know it's going to get very complicated for a while this afternoon - as I am now adding S vs A onto it (but without knowing the T prices on some of those items - i.e. at least some of them, S vs A, will also be T vs A).

So that you can recognise what's T vs A, and what's S vs A, I am going to write the S vs A ones, temporarily, as S price, question mark, A price. The T vs A mainly at the moment have the T price then the A price. (The S price is to be added at the beginning of these.) Some of these will overlap and I will be tidying it all up as I go along.

Just to let you know some near-misses for both T and S (vs A) - the Kellogg's Rice Krispies Squares are £1.99 S and £1.99/any 2 for £3 T vs £1.00 for A (check MSM and a.com for versions) - but I'm waiting to either T or S, or someone else, to go down to £1.00 and then Avs them. May help someone though if you have MOCs.

I'm also adding a good 'un just re-discovered - Real Food Corn Thins Original 150g to S vs T - now why didn't that come to mind last night?:mad: - S £1.19x2 vs T Any 2 for £1.60 - until 11/6 (treat as 10/6). Some of these offer prices for T and for S have short dates on them now - check MSM and also I'll try and add them on later.
I think, among all this, I'm to add T Carrots & Peas 400g onto the T vs A list at some stage.

Why don't I just put the S vs A (the ones I'm now adding) in bold and then put them to normal text once I've got the info. for all three stores on them?
Doing this now (as well as putting in the question mark).

has anyone tried buying the small one (popping candy choc) to see what happens?

I'm thinking pay 50p, shows on apg as £1.50 paid then compares to give you about £1 back per 50p spent.

Just a thought.;)

I bought 6 of them this morning as thought that was what the glitch was. Results back at 13.35. Will post as soon as I can.

Good morning:). Can anyone see any Fray Bentos pies on t.com?* Supposed to be on offer at £1 until 11/6, but the entirety of Fray Bentos products appear to have disappeared from t.com for me. Sains £2.19. Can't believe T don't have any Fray Bentos pies in stock (perhaps someone going to T can tell me if they can see any on the shelves, although we're going by online info.). (And they might be a Tvs A item, but a.com will need to be checked for that!) For now I've removed them from my Svs T list. Right - got to go to sort something out now, but I'll be back later (I'm hoping still this morning):).

*A screenshot would be helpful - I was looking at the Just Steak ones but others may be on there too.

Savvy... I bought some Fray Bentos Pies in a targetted shop last week against T's and they didn't appear on my APG at all. They should have compared at about £2.19 to £1.

This was my post from 31st May

This is my shop from this afternoon.
I also bought 2 x fray bentos (1x steak and 1x steak and kidney) pies which did not appear on my APG. These are £2.18 in A's but only £1 in T's so should have compared. Have posted so you don't get caught out with them.

+£3.18

0.3 x ASDA Carrots by Weight £0.24 £0.24

It still does represent a good stoozing opportunity (£200 on a £10K limit) and other offers are certainly out there form time to time though with the interest rates being so low the returns are not so high. Still possible to make £500pa, I currently have £35K stoozed and applied for this by post the other day as it was originally only available by post.

Shame about the heyday when you could have maybe £75K or even more earning 7-8% :eek:

And then of course there's current account stoozing, a whole new ball game, but not quite so easy to master.

Thank you - already in with Halifax Rewards, Nationwide Flex and Santander 123 with money circulating each month (TcB on each at the time to open - Cashback still available on San and Nationwide on TCB and Quidco). May get one of these T Credit cards but then need to generate a balance to transfer and cash out somehow (MBNA and Egg used to be great as you could simply transfer straight to your bank without penalty!). Perhaps I may generate a balance buying Ts Giftcards on my Amex Nectar then transfer that... Of course, I have to apply and get accepted first.

When Mad was a nipper I used to have a woollen hat. Dad said to me that I only wore it to cover up my big ears:eek:
Chucked it out of the van window, never to be seen again :cool:

T and S shoppers - the products that are 'versus A', where they are available in your store, are now on the T/S vs A post. Just needing to sort the prices out and remove some duplicates.

The actual products are now there (and I don't think I've got more to add). They are versus A if you find them in your store.
