    Afternoon :)

    yogs all comparing 68p/34p from a shop earlier. 3 for £3.50 bics still working but used Maryland Big & Chunky Snack Pack as a trigger - does not appear on the receipt

    Assume it would also work with these but not tested

    Frijj results a bit strange on a Dr O/Innocent/Frijj shop (thank you shirley999 for posting your shop - have a few £1 mocs for Innocent :beer:) - couple show mulitbuy, couple don't

    1 x Frijj Chocolate Milkshake (471ml)£1.25£0.50

    1 x Frijj Strawberry Milkshake (471ml)£0.75£0.50

    1 x Frijj Limited Edition Milkshake (471ml)£1.25£0.50

    1 x Frijj Banana Milkshake (471ml)£0.75£0.50

    So the Frijjs are glitching again? I thought they might (although I omitted to look on msm for them overnight:() but I've got some of them on each of my two shops I've just finished preparing the list for - as versus 50p is still a good price (and excellent compared to the £1.24 each I was paying:eek: way before I ever got into this MSE thing). Pleased now there might be a glitch on top!

    The Frijj results are not strange at all - they are exactly what I expected:D. It's that chocolate Frijj again - missing the multi - whilst the banana and strawberry pick it up between each other. I'm not altering my two shopping lists: before I saw this, I had 2 Frijjs on one list and one on the other (I only want 3 Frijjs, that's enough to the expected use bys for me). The first list: 1 chocolate and 1 strawberry. The second list: 1 banana. (There is something behind why of course!:D)

    I'm sticking with that. That banana is sometimes - with or without pun intended - a slippery fellow. I'm not liking that with the Chocolate one as much. I think chocolate and strawberry however will get on well, and whether the strawberry has the multi on it or not, I think the chocolate's absence of it will mean it won't steal the multi from the strawberry and it all interact to my slight annoyance actually:rotfl:. Banana, though, best leave that by itself, it think it sometimes gives the multi when combined with the chocolate - and banana and strawberry together:eek: are definitely an absolute no-no.

    First of a hat-trick of disagreements:rotfl:from me - all with the nicest possible intention.

    Msm never does my head in. (Probably because, if I'm getting weary, I put it - and me:D - to bed anyway.) It's these little anomalies that I like, and like sorting out these complex missing items. I like the inconsistencies sometimes - as that often gives us a clue and sets off my curiosity about whether to try buying them and 'wonder whether this...' '...in conjunction with this...' etc.? I also quite like the ones where the price on the overview screen differs for that for the same supermarket once you go and bring up the comparison on the individual item. Thought I had the Cadbury Mini Rolls (6) on that earlier on - but sadly nothing in our favour as the rival is more expensive in either event. That Kiwi Shoe Polish with the £1.00 price that becomes £1.98 when you look into it. But sadly with everywhere else on ridiculous pricing, it again seems not in our favour!

    Never disagreements on my part.... you lot are all so helpful. I call it more team work to enable us to get our heads round an issue. But yes, it does do my head in as well often leaving me looking something like this :wall:. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    My favourite is when that banging head thing was used, finally, after I'd first started on here and whittered on and on. When that head into the wall appeared, it finally clicked with me:D:rotfl:.

    I wanted gina and dexter as I think they will gain more from the insider knowledge. Not sure dan and wolfy could have been quiet enough. Does luxury room have a smoking area?
    I was supprised at boo's for wolfy last night. Can get eviction night tickets, has anyone here been before?

    Not got a lampshade yet as really want same but in white for spare/dressing room and my room I am not sure yet. Have seen lamp I rather like in ikea and trip there planned for friday so might make my mind up then. Wilkos one is perfect so just been filling out entry forms for their prize draw as £23 is a bit too much.
    My room all painted now just glossing to do (which I really don't feel like today) but sooner I do it soon carpet can go down.
    My dad is coming to stay on 25th july so have a deadline. Was hoping to send him home with loads of rustlers for freezer but can't get flaming coupon to work.

    Think I will try again from tablet. Have working printer with ink so 2 out of 3!

    Qoc new baby cuddles are lush:)
    V x

    Cant see luxury room not having a smoking area or they will go mental.

    Wolfy probably got boo's because she was bragging she was going to win.

    Hope someone's been to the final and let you know.

    Have you got the coupon is it the printing bit you cant do :(


    Did you see link I posted for Argos ? Didn't have it in white but was in cream . Ditzy going to deliver mine and help me move big double wardrobe into big bedroom. She said she would help but she may change her mind when she sees wardrobe . We will have to take it apart or part apart and rebuild in other room. Don't know when she coming yet I left that up to her she knows when I am in. :D

    Many thanks for these lists. I'm :j:j about the Chocolate Sponge Cake on the vs M one, as that first appeared N/A when that was first on several months ago. I'm glad MSM are now agreeing with me that it's comparable:D (wonder if we've both measured the cakes at six inches??:D:D. That sub-free bendy ruler, with SEL error, was useful after all:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    Now the completion of my hat-trick - the Potato Waffles need removing from the vs S list as they're cheaper for T. (T's is a price increase, from 90p to 95p, but that should still be left in place on the vs T list I feel as it is still now the best you can get.)

    Okay... off for the Frijjs (and other stuff) now.:) I'm giving the Wall's Twisters a go:eek::eek:. On the glitchy shop:rotfl:.

    Them Tena Light Liners - £1.49 for Sains:eek: - wait till they go to £1.00 somewhere. Not liking the price on that one, but just me being me;):):money:.

    When I get back, I'll also take off the bold in my sig. - I think you all know by now!:)

    Oh...entered (about half an hour ago now) a womble from yesterday that I forgot:o - gave nothing, nothing to report re. multis (irrelevant to today's results anyway) but it has given me one item to add onto the M list!:D I'm putting it on now - then disappearing:D - as it is comparing on APG vs M at the best price. As to what it is - you'll have to spot the difference on my M list in a moment. It's some chocolate cake covering or other...:)
