    Good evening everybody I hope you have all enjoyed your day, I went to Mr T tonight, got a few whoopsied things.

    Thanks to the OP about the baby bath at 27p I got six bottles tonight. They also had baby talc for 33p so I got a few of those as well.

    A friend is having a baby soon so I am trying to get some things together for her.

    Northern Ireland folks won't like me again - but there are also some baby products on RTC in Ms (appears it may be - I was going to say "nationwide" but how do you put that, when England may be "nationwide" as Scotland and Wales are each also "nations", or Scotland at the least may be - may be across Great Britain). The price of 27p sounds familiar - no specific details taken though, as APG does not (or shouldn't) compare vs RTC prices.

    Unless I have misunderstood and not seen the earlier postings:o - I am reading it as the baby bath at 27p in T, and just letting you know some baby products are still on RTCs in M.

    Some of the other RTCs though occasionally make me laugh - you're going to have to reduce it way way more than that if you are hoping to "clear" it. Such as some reductions on foot creams - the "RTC" price still being nearly £3.50, when the same product is in A at straight price of £3.00. Or - I saw some dishwasher stuff on RTC at £5 in M. (That's when I specifically thought "you're going to have to reduce it a lot more than that...".) Same product had been £2.49 in Waities earlier in the year. I suspect some people (and I mean people who are unaware of the existence of this website) fall for those £5 RTC prices though, thinking they are good value!

    Ridiculous innit savvy - the Finish dishwasher glitches at Tosco earlier in the year have me set up for a very long time. I think one of the glitches was buy one get five free:D:D.

    good evening Savvy

    Good evening davemorton.

    (I think I may have spotted a change in your sig. - could be wrong though, and anyway I rather like the sig. you have now - and I'll go and read it properly now. Good sig.!) [Edit: perhaps I shouldn't have liked the sig!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:]

    Still looking good on the trigger folks - but half a :) as still an hour to go.
    I don't think the m'buy glitch (both items in 2 for £3 comparing at full price) will work though - it was just an impulse, just to see. (An 'impulse' of sorts as a very good item to put on that shop. Or rather two. Mix and matched, that could be an :eek: if one of them doesn't compare.)

    In a moment, I'll stop checking and re-checking MSM every few minutes seeing if the trigger item suddenly appears!:D:rotfl:

    You are correct - it was something like any five at full price or any six for the price of one! Certainly buy one get five free. The price we got, in effect, on that certainly makes that £5 RTC look even more a rip-off than it already was. As I said, they are going to have to reduce them way way more if they hope to clear any of them to me!:D:rotfl::rotfl:

    I got told off (in a lovely way) today for my signature, so I thought I better change it Savvy.

    Think it must be me. Whenever I join the nightshift, it goes very quiet. :rotfl::rotfl:

    So on that note, I'll say goodnight.

    Went for a womble at 10pm ish - the sada carpark was like a flaming swimming pool......not a good idea. OH had been conned into coming with me under the pretence of needing petrol. He thinks I have a serious problem - bah......that was only because he had to take a break from drinking Coors Light which he claims is "hiss".
