Expert League In Thrifty Everyday (Situations)

After more grumbles from DH I've had to shift my 'new' supply of SP Kitchen Rolls.
ALso had to move my 6 jars of Nescafe that Lidl have at the moment .... 200g for £3.99.

You provide a world of info for people who have these different shops on their doorstep and are willing to move around.

I tend not to spend £20 in one go with 8-10 comparable items. I am more go in when something is on offer and stock up big style :rotfl:.

For instance mince from lidl a few weeks back £1 per 500g ,free parioli toms/cheap dolmio sauces 6 months plus back from asda, cheap pasta at the same time, free 5 beans so all I need if anything is peppers, mushrooms and an onion for a meal. Not to mention the cheese I still have :cool:
I am not travelling for that when asda is a 3 minute walk away :rotfl:

Not using it - I can assure you I have better things to do than work through methodically thanking posts, and I don't do it!

Regarding not understanding posts, I'm not sure if I understand that "scavvy" one but I'm none too bothered with what it means or doesn't!:cool:

Regarding 'moving around', I suspect you think I'm off here, off there, but I'm very lucky in this area to have so much choice around. I don't make many 'special journeys' but fit it in whith where I happened to be. I have a Morries near work, another one near my house when I am off work, a nearby A, another near a relative when visiting etc. You're right with the stock up and I do that sometimes too!

Indeed, don't travel out of the way if that's more costly than the few pence saved on something cheaper. However with an A nearby, I'd have thought you could do the "10%" thing - and only need one store, one trip, to compare, in the same one store, against diff. competitors on split shops etc. Rather removes the need to travel round when you can do S and T shopping in A!

I think I'm going to specialise. And I think the key is various people, different people on here doing different things and all, put together, helping. So, without intending anything against those of you in Northern Ireland - and I've already been mainly on this topic - I'm going to deal more with the Morries things than other things. I don't want it thought that I'm only dealing with one thing and going on and on about it, I'll still do the Tvs A, Tvs S, Avs T and S etc. if I get it to, even though I'm concentrating more on the M area. I think it's essential or useful if different people deal more with different things - and I think it's already how this forum happens, quite naturally, to work.

It's not - I hope - me going on and on about Morries - to the bugbear of N.I. people - but simply that 'that's more my area'. I feel, myself, like a bit of a broken record popping up with Morries info. (although that may be very useful to people having M to compare to, or shop in) and constantly saying, again and again, this excludes Northern Ireland - I'd like to dispense with it more often, although I never know that there may be new readers, who may be in N.I., who would not necessarily be aware.

David. - as for yourself, and others who have an A a few minutes away from them, I'd have thought you could use the shopping style of vs T glitch items (herbs, potatoes etc.) for example or do Avs M and buy from the M list when in A. For those (outside Northern Ireland - there I go again:rotfl:), for those who do not have an M nearby (wanting to repeat the NI bit again, just consider that exclusion implied in what I say next) - for those of you without an M nearby, but who have an A, you can of course use the Morries items shopping in A. You do not need a store near you to compare to it (unless you're in Northern Ireland and it's M or W). So, if you're in GB, your nearest M may be hundreds of miles away - but you can still use the nearby A if you have one! (And you can rely on my price-taking from M stores nearby me, that you do not have available:T:T:rotfl::D):j

But bear in mind the N/A situation too:(.
