Each person can decide what to do for themselves.

Just as you can say you think something is OK someone else can say they think its not.

Unless you are saying we all have to agree that coupons should be used against any and everything rather than intended product. In which case you are right. This thread will be very empty (because MSe will close it)

MSE don't care what coupons we use or where we use them, they care about footfall to this website and how much thye make from it.

Way back when I joined Martin Lewis had balls and this website's motto was consumer revenge.

Many of the deals we have all taken part in have been against the t&cs of the company or a misprice that we have taken advantage.

My advice is live and let live, don't tell everyone your business (especially if you're scamps ) and screw the companies for as much as you can.;)

I found this story (sorry it's the DM) about Chinese MSE-ers.

Well if I did something others thought were wrong I would rather be made aware and listen to the criticism (eg using caffe latte pdfs) than have people bury their heads in the sand and not tell me

Other times I'll just decide I was right :rotfl:

This is a discussion forum isn't it?

Indeed it is AAU, something that gets overlooked.

Allies : In everyday English usage, allies are people, groups, or states that have joined in an association for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose, whether or not explicit agreement has been worked out between them.

I may have had some help from my allies today.

For £40 of my hard earned cash, Mr T exchanged £76 worth of goods.

I cannot complain.

Thanks for the help people

they should be called 'one visit' salad bars then as calling them all you can eat and then saying only one visit is cheating:rotfl:

Aye:D

Did you use the latte pdf's - shame on you:D:D

I blame 10ways and hukd for promoting them....but yes I did

Now I know better though and have pointed it out to others

They may take offence, they may not, but they can make more informed decisions

Oh, you knew it was uncharacteristic of me to stick to one topic in a post (my first post this evening).

My mention of Skips caused me to forget..

The direct journey to A took me by M and I nipped in to see if their apples/pears etc. were worth getting. We are desperate for some decent priced fruit at the moment, and I'll have to start having a look around the markets to see if they are any better.

In M I noticed the PG Tips (240) at £2.84 (which is a very good price). The Lynx shower gels 250ml are 94p each. The Robinson's Fruit Shoot drinks (Low Sugar 4 packs) are 94p, which is an unusual price (usually go down to £1.00 in supermarkets at some time or other) (I noticed the Summer Fruits, the Orange and the Apple & Blackcurrant in M.) So watch the multis on the Fruit Shoots and also the 2 for £3 on the Lynxs in A (or a Lynx with a trigger, Flo???) - oh! - msm showing straight £2.37 for A on Lynx Showers 250ml now, are they (some of them at least) still on 2 for £3.00??? (Not really interested in any shower gels now myself for some time, as already have way too many.)

The Raid Fly Catcher (4 pack) is confirmed (by me only though!) to be the same as the Raid Fly Strips. Outside of Northern Ireland, it's £2.00 A vs £1.00 M therefore. (A and M exclusive, as far as the major supermarkets are concerned.)

The Dr Oetker Ristorante pizzas I didn't specially focus on, but didn't notice the offer off, I have a vague recollection therefore of there still being a £1.25 price (on the ones M have) - it was on until 4/8/13 last week so I assume (with very strong reason) that it's on until that date! HTH!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Not a check at all tonight, and I noticed little all else. So it's certainly not in any way an update of the full M list and remember it may take time for today's new offers to make it into the APG (if they do).

As for the fruit, I noticed M's pack of M Granny Smith apples with promotional label of £1.19 ("save 50p") - next to a few packs of Savers apples packs at 99p. They too were Granny Smiths! What's the difference between the M and the M Savers ones I thought? None it seemed to me, except for the price:rotfl::rotfl:. (In other words, the lower price is the difference:rotfl::rotfl: and therefore they are different ....in price only!:rotfl::rotfl:)

I picked two random packs of each, and they both weighed in at close to 800g each. I chose a Savers pack (would have been nice if they had been different apples to the £1.19:eek: ones though - might have got one of each, and paid the extra 19p as now desperate and at a push, had they been different varieties).

Fruit seems to have gone way up in price and the packs generally way smaller, so 800g is now fairly good (at that 99p price even if not the 80-odd ps of before).

We can of course now buy loose bananas in M at 68p/kg (given that A have switched to a non-comparable 'premium' brand at the same price), or at Lidl, S or (god forbid!:rotfl:) T, or at A itself, or the 1kg pack ones in Aldi at 68p for a pack.

Speaking of Aldi/Lidl, I stopped off at Lidl a day or so ago - and found...

And Lidl is...expensive!!:eek::eek: I found virtually nothing worth it in my view. All the apples well above £1 a pack. Just jaw-dropping! The only item I found worth bothering with were the Oaklands 6 Salad Tomatoes, at 74p a pack (1p cheaper than A). That was the only item I would buy... and, as I didn't need any tomatoes, I bought nothing! (I've no idea why people think of these stores as 'discounters', or 'deep' discounters, when many of the items as far as I could see were cheaper A vs someone else or otherwise same price as the value range of everywhere else.)

That's it folks!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:




For now....:(

You're right. That was me, the DM calls them "help yourself" counters. I'll go change my post. Thanks.

No worries!

And I didn't take it as such. To be honest if they were sold as all you can eat the Chinese diners were within their rights to pile the plates high, but that was just me using that phrase. Probably says more about me than them...:rotfl:
