In a large SADA supermarket pharmacy I found shed loads of items on RTC. Ranges included SCHOLL and ORTHAHEEL. Products included foot spray, corn plasters, insoles, fresh smelling insoles, orthaheel insoles for folk with diabetes and walking problems.

I really shouldn't skim read:rotfl:

Calling all gardeners! Help!!!!!

I am not very clued up on growing things, but would like to try. A friend has given me a tomato growing kit, ie a bag for compost and a 3 sided trellis for the plants to grow up. I have planted 3 tomato plants, and they've been outside in the sunshine for the last few days. Now that the weather is turning, should I bring them inside. I don't have a green house, but can bring them into the conservatory.

Any advice appreciated from the talented green fingered people on here. The photos recently have been fabulous!:T:T

I have grown tomatoes outside and still do if Ive got too many and the greenhouses are full. On the whole, they don't do as well as the greenhouse ones but I do get tomatoes from them. It's very much dependant on the weather. And im up norf Sunshine being the key. You shouldn't need to bring them in, it's warm enough to leave them out, but they will do better in the conservatory than outside

Where is DM ? :eek:
Anyone in the sunflower comp may want to check outside

Wasn't a wasted journey as I found one of the white cotton table cloths at £2 (SEL £8) and someone had left me a £1.40 price promise on the SS till .

Hi BS,

I've had limited success growing outdoor toms as my garden is really exposed... Plus it depends on the variety. Google the variety
and you can find out if they are suitable for growing outside. If it is sheltered say, up against a warm brick wall facing the sun you might get away with it. Depending on the size, moving the plants could be problematic.
I would be tempted to leave them now if its a sunny spot:)

***Sorry - better indicate I disagree with the above at the beginning, so you don't miss it, all in detail, below!!***

Good evening:wave: and goodbye:hello: again!:rotfl:
Seems there's not as much to catch up on (not the great amount of pages there sometimes is) as it's still nice weather for some:) and not many glitches seem to be happening:(.

I know fairclaire won't be too put out with me when I completely disagree with the post quoted:eek:. It's all done with the aim of ensuring T doesn't r*p everyone off, which in my view it will do if you buy any of the above items even if you're comparing to A's prices!!:D:D

I'm getting a bit ahead of myself tonight too, as I've got the list I'm checking in Ms on Wednesday already prepared - it's normally done all of a rush on Tuesday evenings!:o:rotfl:

There goes Savvy bunny again incessantly about M although perhaps this time Patty won't mind as she'll be in Amsterdam. Hope you have a great weekend Patty!!:):) And sorry Raven!:beer:

As for the above on Tvs A... (unless you're in NI and there's no better option - but even there wait for T to reduce its prices first and then compare for 10% cheaper by buying in A).

The Bacon is Avs M in 2s (£1.80 each rather than Tvs A £2.00). BE Potato Waffles - too expensive (at £1, leave alone £1.99:eek::eek:!!). Own brands on those - and far more for your money, think (nay, know) it's Avs T 12 per pack six hundred and eighty gram weight A £1.00 T 90p therefore 81p net. 456g eat your heart out - or rather don't eat very much at all:rotfl: - and lose 19p money. (Ok, did have to use MSM for reference for the actual prices.)
Unless you've Bird's Eye coupons or anything else making it much better, I wouldn't go for it.

Warburton's Bread at £1?? One word: whoopsies.
Five thousand more words (from Savvy:D):rotfl:- I was almost tempted by some Warburtons Bread (400g though) on my last Sains BM vs Tosco comparison. Saw some on whoops at 10p but thought the better of it and settled for some S own brand at 10p instead. Turned out to be right as T's regular price (and S's and others too) on the Warburtons 400g - not even twice as much - is 80p:eek::eek:. That's about twice the amount I'd be willing to pay for a loaf twice as much. As for 400g, 20p my maximum!:rotfl::rotfl:

You may quail at own brands etc. but in reality frozen then defrosted bread - of the same brands, not the own brands - is perfectly fine and really I can't tell the difference. Perhaps a bit like the Aldi Colas at 42p for 2L (a fraction of the non-glitch Coca Cola price - about which, but regarding the 1.5L rather than 2L, more later below!).

Ginster's Cornish Pasty T vs A's £1.00? No. Or at least not any more - I did used to pay vs A at £1, but having seen lower prices on it and compared from A (whether A is £1 or is £1.44 makes no odds) vs T when they were at £1 and therefore making it 90p via the APG, I'm not going for it. Also I think Ginster's is way too expensive - looking at the own brands on the same shelving and they can be less than half the price (per 100g)! I've concluded, for instance, paying £2 (or comparing vs £2) on 4 pack Ginsters pies is too much. So that won't make the lists anymore.

On this Ginster's 'Large' Cornish Pasty (albeit that 227g doesn't seem to me to be as large as it may have been before), there may have been some TCB recently but probably ended now??? - I'm pretty sure somewhere has been on offer recently and/or that T may have increased its price. It shows Ocado 92p on MSM - Ocado isn't compared against from either A or T - so perhaps buy from Ocado directly? W is showing N/A on MSM, but I'm pretty sure they have had it at 92p as well recently....

...And there it is! Signed in on MSM and suddenly W appears, 92p until 18/6/13, so Avs W for outside NI (10% off 92p making it about 83p). 83p for such a small "Large" Cornish pasty it now seems to me!

As for the Cokes, well Avs M on those as well recently - Coke Zero 1.5L about 82p/85p in M??? Can't remember - couple of weeks back now! As for regular 1.5L - think they were £1 in M two weeks ago - therefore would have been Avs M for 90p. So getting T to charge you £1 a bottle on each (or even on one) is too much to me!! Please do not do it. That's unless you can get a Coke Zero 1.5L and nothing more for 10p from T, but it seems no-one has yet actually managed to find any at that price. My advice: stick to the Aldi version, 500ml more, and for only 42p. I can't see expensive Coca Cola is moneysaving at all in any way:rotfl::rotfl:, given the amount of 2L Coke glitches on the APG I've no idea why anyone (in the know, i.e. who reads this thread) would ever get any unless they were glitching.

:p:p thank you savvy. If anyone else ripped my helpful information to pieces I'd be :mad:. But seeing as it's you, I've just thanked you for it :rotfl:
