    Oh, you do tease Heather, you know it would be a pleasure to drive two lovely ladies around all day. Did I mention I drive a transit, and it comes equiped with a fully functioning ironing suite? :)

    That's a disappointment - I thought you were going to say it had something else in the back of it. :D

    The way I find best to do it is to do two separate baskets on msm and then combine them into one. First, do the BM part of the shop - ideally you want a £20 Sains spend vs a £10 competitor one (having chosen A or T - T seems best to me at the mo., although I limit the items I can get on that, as the prices in A aren't low enough as they are lower in A vs someone else for 10% cheaper than them, I accept your cond.spends may make some difference). Or, even better, if you can manage a £15 Sains spend that is £5 elsewhere (one of A or T) but then needing £5 of non-comps to get the £20. But...since you're going over anyway...

    Do the BM bit on the Sains side of msm. That gets you the Sains and the competitor basket price. Only then can you add other items (all best value in Sains and N/A at your chosen competitor - and preferably N/A in A too if you're including an Svs T part so that you couldn't have got 10% via Avs S) - remember cheap clothing etc. counts, as do all Sains own brands including own brand whoopsies (but then it's a very very slow business to the £40 - or now the £50:eek:).

    When I had £8 off a £40, I got a basket of £20 - or possibly it was a little more - perhaps £23, that was almost £10 cheaper elsewhere and then the other £20 (or £17 - i.e. £40 minus the £23) was all non-comp and best value in Sains. I'm sure your son (the one that speaks his mind regardless of any illogical and inexplicable social convention to the contrary:eek::rotfl::eek:) will find it highly natural to compile a shop for you this way and be able to do it backwards in his sleep. I'm also updating all of my lists at the moment (yes, all of them at once!:D:rotfl::rotfl:) so I'll help you get that shop if you need. Just let me know what types of items you are short of/looking at getting.

    I'll keep looking - I've been starting the M list updating and doing it as I go along - it looks like a non-glitch day tomorrow (there's thousands of m'buys signed in and out on msm for me) - you may go :( but at the moment I go :) as it allows me to stay up all night:D:rotfl::eek::):rotfl: and update the M list. These things come and go on Sat. mornings and I miss. This way I won't since it won't be there to miss:) (unfortunately for everyone else:(). Or maybe it will happen:) and I'll miss it:(:(. Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your perspective.

    Finally - don't forget to check all of the items in your initial BM part and then the rest of them you add beyond that to the £40/£50, to make sure the competitor's website agrees with what is on msm.

    Thank you :) very helpful :A
    Or it will be in the morning when I digest it when Im a little less fizzy :D:)

    I went when it was January sale time and it was murder to park and it then took a good half hour to get off the car park later. I think it was due to the design of the car park and the way you all join an exit road that goes round the perimeter of the shopping centre. This then leads to one set of traffic lights that gives priority to traffic on the main road and not to vehicles exiting the shopping centre. You can come and collect me tomorrow and be my chauffeur if you're not too busy. I'm sure FC and me could sit on the rear seats sipping champagne whilst you drive. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Nite Qoc, see you Sunday. :)

    Well I may add, that there are a few chains attatched to the board, just ask FC ;)

    It's simple folks - it's the hardest one to do as not only do you (ordinarily, without better cond.spends being considered) need to get just over £20 spend but also to have the rival just under £10 cheaper. It's not easy - esp. if your store doesn't have one (or more) of the items you had down for your shop. You're then trying to work out how much left to the £20 whilst looking at the difference amount that that contributes to the £10 (without going over). Perhaps you then need to have the entire list with you in the store - the prices at both T and the competitor and the difference amount written down on the list, so that it is clear and straight obvious to see.
