    such excitement

    First I got the Harpics, some Jacobs and Mincemeat.

    Today I nipped into a different branch and got more Jacobs and found the baby bath. lovely lady on SS noticed how cheap the bath bubbles were and asked where to find them, she stayed chatting so I had to put the Jacobs through. She was thrilled at the price and said she would get some later. I offered to go so grabbed a few for her - think I made a friend! so will always go to her if I can

    Then on to A's where I got a few of the kitchen rolls

    Thanks to everyone who takes the time to share their finds

    Very impressed with Peppa Pigs car. I fancied a bit of twitching so .....

    It's the fresh one from the chilled cabinet but I know there's two 'smartprice' garlic baguettes and always assumed the other one was maybe a sliced baguette. I've never been in Morribobs so can't do the checking for you I'm afraid.

    I get the baby foods most weeks and deliberately target them against Tosco (again, due to not knowing much about morribobs prices).

    As if I'd ever ask anyone else for that!:D I certainly don't need it checking - and you know more than you think about Morries prices - it's all on here each week!:) Deliberate targetting - I like that!:cool: There's a fresh garlic baguette and a frozen one, both 170g, in A, M and T.

    Come to think of it... perhaps the clue lies in the weights? I'll re-examine:rotfl:the weight of the M products next time - I thought they were 170g but must acknowledge I haven't consciously looked them out for some time on these baguettes, more so the fresh one (unless I just automatically wrote the weights down copying them from the SEL). You've reminded me it's a little overdue - not all weights are always checked week after week but they are checked from time to time. I do tend to notice subtle changes in weight anyway. It may be some weight adjustment is taking place on the APG - this is due a recheck and thanks for telling me it's overdue - the weights probably haven't changed, but I'll keep up with what they are on these baguettes next week!:):) [Edit: phew!!!]

    Good evening all!!:):)

    MSE is too ingrained in my psychie.

    I have a £100 voucher for Amazon burning a hole in my pocket and I am really struggling to spend it!! I keep arguing myself out of things because I know I can get them cheaper/don't need them/should wait to see if it goes down!!

    The only thing I am convinced on is pre-ordering Star Trek Into Darkness!!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    if they compare to Tosco it would make them 60p a pack after coupons and 10% 15p per roll

    How do you work that out ?

    £4.28 in Adsa and they don't compare with Tosco
