Woopy-doo!:) I have just two pages (not very full pages) to go for the M list. So - I will have the list on, with all the items I've found with good prices in M, for this Sunday morning shopping!:j:j
I need some early morning bacon shops please - need to know well before early closing time whether or not they are glitching (seems to be mix and match?). TIA! Please can you also watch for the Cravendales, many thanks (I like 2x Semi skimmed only - don't like the other versions:D).0 -
:hello: A very good morning to you -- and goodbye!:rotfl:
I have now 'finished' putting the new items onto the M list - of course some of the A/T prices (or other suggested comps.) may be woefully out of date - if it's a new item it's been checked when it was added, but others I will get to at some point.
Just some non-grocery items in M to mention - I may as well list them here - don't know whether or not these are good value (I'll allow you to decide:D):
In no particular order:rotfl::
Some mugs - 50p each
M Savers Mixing Bowl (22cm) 70p
M Savers Food Storer 1.5L (kids' sandwich thing for packed lunches to me) 80p
M Savers Beaker (400ml) 80p
M Savers Bowl 75p
M Cream or Taupe Square or Black & White Dinner Plate £1
Just going off to see if there's anything missing from the m'buy coffee (in A), remind me to mention - I may as well mention it now:rotfl:- how items are crossed from the M lists when I have doubts over their comparability or they go out of stock for some time/I can't find them that week etc. I tend to leave these items on the list, if they are the ones unavailable in A and T and therefore 'buy in M', because there will be no problem about comparability or otherwise; if you happen to find the item in your M, when I've found it out of stock, then you may still be able to get the price I've got for it on my list. Otherwise, if we're comparing from A (or T) and M goes out of stock, I tend to take a more cautious approach and inclining towards deleting the equivalent item from the list. All very illuminating and interesting no doubt:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
Okay, back in a mo. with the coffee search result and then I'll bid you good day.:)0 -
Ooooo...:) and I'll give you this info. and let you investigate further - there are 20 items in the 2 for £5, which includes the Costa Roast & Ground 200g, on msm (22 signed out), but 25 on a.com. Costa hopefully compares v. favourably to Morries (see that list:D).
Right - I'm just 'cheating' now:rotfl: (looking at M's website) to find the price of the Special K bars and biscuit moments, as I've written them, this time, without writing any pricing down:(. Pretty sure I mentioned these on Wed. night and probably gave the price then. M's site down at this early hour - I'll hazard a guess at 99p and put that. (It's either 99p or £1.) We know the Sprite 500ml bottles vs £1.19 bogof (still on) but, as that is not, in itself, very good for the volume and relies on MOC use, it's not been included on the list.
A 'near-miss' is the W/S Quattro Titanium Razor, in M at £3.25 (appears no longer to be on MSM for A). I've tried to find those aftersun lotion and gels (200ml) that were posted on here some days ago showing a v. good comp. vs M (think this was going from the Monday APG price collection) - but I can't see them on msm. It's M Aftersun Lotion 200ml or M Aftersun Gel 200ml - £2 each. Now I couldn't find any stock of the former, but that doesn't matter, I found the SEL - but if no longer on msm....:mad:, that's now why they are not on my list now. I mentioned the Hollands Potato and Meat pies being £2.25 in M (seen them before at £2).
Do examine those items that show a m'buy price for A on my list!:D
Good morning:wave:.0 -
I nearly embarassed myself on one of my T's shops this morning. I had a £3 wys £20 till spit to get rid of so very carefully worked out that 8 JF sachets, Finest burgers, face wipes, tomatoes and 1 Emmi would take me up to over £20 and I could use the JF, Emmi, till spit , £1 Finest Burgers coupon and my £5 L'oreal voucher they sent me cos I moaned about a product.
I'm on a Fast Day today and it was getting late so my brain couldn't have been working too well cos the total came to £23 dd and, by the time he'deducted all my coupons bar the Emmi one, the balance was only £1.11 - fortunately he agreed to input the Emmi coupon as just £1.11 instead of full price. So my balance was Zero - first time I've managed that and the guy behind me in the queue looked dumfounded. Good job my DH was sitting in the car - he embarasses very easily and runs a mile when I bring the coupons out.
Dont need to be on fast day to get that, went to Morribobs yesterday, bought O pizza, two coffees and whoopsied carrots, SA young girl took coffee coupons full price and was staring at the till, total was 96p, but pizza coupon was £1.... Asked supervisor, she just put it through as 96 as I had the right vouchers for right products:T :T
Oh and good morning0 -
