Thanks for all your lists and checking things out Savvy. If you ever want to check an S Shop, do you know that you can put your receipt or nectarcard number into the Sainsburys Brandmatch bit on their website and get a comparison list? I think you have to wait until after 9am the day following your shop, so it won't be much use for short-lived glitches like Harpic.

Hi there, good evening everyone, just catching up!:)

Yes, I know about this (-of course!-) and I always check later just in case there's anything I disagree with - or in case I put something on a Svs A comp., believing it to be N/A in T, only to find BM picks up a price for T and should have gone Avs T:(. (It may not be obvious - the results of my own BM shops do sometimes cause changes to be made to my lists on here.)

Unfortunately my curiosity always causes me to look at the results even if the BM amount is completely in accordance with my own calculations - I think I just, very strangely, like looking at the product arrangement and prices on their comparison tables, among all the other varied things (away from shopping) that I get up to in my life. Someone should put a block on me though - when it tips over into obsession if I go and view the same comp. twice.:D

Hi just tried harpic in sainsburys it DOESN'T give a coupon. This is at 9.50 today. Must get to work now

It's all irrelevant now (as this offer has now passed into history) - but this fact doesn't stop me asking...
Which Harpic(s) did you buy? And what were the products you bought with it/them?

(Maybe this would've worked yesterday in Sainsbobs, when a small number(?) of us were messing around trying in A only to get full price. The morning BM scan yesterday would likely have picked up the 20p prices. Whereas this morning's BM scan would, according to what I've been reading on here, have returned N/A as T had pulled the products off its website by this morning. Hence it won't - and didn't - work today.)

I will be fasting tomorrow too QoC and Darkvelv. Did ok yesterday. Finally got round to doing my measurements today forthe extra motivation. Don't know about extra motivation but certainly frightening!:eek:

Definitely needing 3:4 for a few weeks.

Me too Morgy9. I actually find it easiest doing Mon, Wed, Fri. It has its own rhythm that way for me. My man is not overweight but wants to lose a bit of belly, so he is eating normally at breakfast and lunch, but joining in for the evening meals on fasting days. That is when it helps me to have a bit of moral support. I don't care what he eats for breakfast, as I don't usually eat much then, and I'm happy to make him a sandwich for lunch and eat nothing then myself, but it really helps that he is having the same dinner as me each night, and that he is not going to sit there drinking wine or eating chocolate or munching crisps on my fasting nights! My freezer is going to have to eat a bit extra though looking at what I still have in my fridge.We now need 3 less main meals for 2 people each week, 3 less lunches and 3 less breakfasts, so I need to adjust my shopping habits a bit. Buying less. What a novel idea!:)

DTD Opportunity
Tesco Butchers Choice Smoked Gammon Joint
Price per kg is £8.99 but reduced to £6 per kg. The £6 ones were on an end isle, but £8.99 ones were in the normal place.
The manager tried to swap me for a £6 per kg one, but I said I wanted this one! Paid £20, and got £13 back:T

also if anyone still have the 1st ristorante coupon, its still valid. and so is the 2nd one (different bc's). so I got 1 pizza in Tosco and both coupons scanned against it. = free pizza. and before cot moans I only got wine and 1 pizza so sa knew this when she took the coupons.

Savvy,
Are the Muller Lights on offer at £1.94 for 6 at Morries? Read it on a slimming group but £1.94 seems an odd price?!
No car today but can go and look tomorrow if no one else knows.

Hi there - forgive me for being abrupt, but I think they are on here somewhere: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=61884143&postcount=39 !!

I can understand though if reading, or even looking at, that list causes people's heads to ache or makes them fall asleep:rotfl: . Also - having now looked back at it, as a result of adding that link, I see that I've written valid "until 16/6" (so it was a valid question, and wasn't merely asking for something that was already on here) - the offer, possibly, has been extended (I'll return to this topic in a moment;):D).

Today's Tuesday... so tomorrow is..Wednesday!! There's no need to go to M and have a look tomorrow as it's my big check day (again:(:)) so you can sit back and relax and it'll be picked up as a result of my check. (Although, having said that, perhaps the danger of others not bothering to look for anything in Ms anymore should be guarded against - it's good to have people finding new things, and checking in other areas (e.g. meal deals/RTCs) that I tend not to pick up as well.)

Yep. I [STRIKE]thought[/STRIKE] knew you would [STRIKE]probably[/STRIKE] know, but maybe someone else didn't.:)My trouble is that I can't resist a coupon. I got a 4.50 off 30 pound spend in S, so I spent and got a BrandMatch coupon for 9.85 and another 4.50 off 30 pounds and 5p off petrol. So I bought the petrol, spent another 30 and got a 9.70 BM coupon and a 7.00 off
70 pounds, and now they have e-mailed me with a 15.00 off your first online shop offer too. AHHHHHH. I need to get off this train.:o

If anyone is lucky enough to get the free Revive lucozade delivered to business addresses....some might have got home deliveries too......they were delivered to my workplace today. They come with books of 50p off vouchers. Had a look on MSM and not worth using now but who knows what next week will bring:)
