    That is interesting - T PP has failed to pick up the Iceberg Lettuce at 50p in Morries. Also, possibly failed to pick up the Rustler's Chicken Sandwich (£2.00 in M?) but there has been some variation in that area in M and the Barratt Flump (but maybe M isn't 12g any more???) Who knows? Me - next week!:D

    This has been noted, for my file of items that T aren't comparing to M. Also seems the Morries 500g Spring Greens have been missed on T PP - 75p in M. They appear to be working on the APG (judging by wombles posted on here) but not on the T PP.

    It has been noted!;):rotfl::D

    Evenin' all :)

    Trying to decide whether to go and see if my A's have restocked the JC's. I did have a looksie along the top shelf ;) But couldn't see any up there, so can't decide if it's worth the trip or not!

    They were re-stocking in my Adsa when I was there about an hour ago, but not from the top, he brought loads out from the back in a trolley.

    No - but I would like to :D

    QoC & FC - your dinners look lovely. I had a T's special - the Jalfrezi glitch but not nearly as nice as yours looked :(

    I need to avoid that little distraction though - as I have a 'bit of a glitch' Avs T.

    That one womble - knew it was bad news immediately the "Great news!" thing appeared.

    But...one of the multis on the receipt is fresh meat 3 for £10. And I can only find one item on the comp. that would fall within that - the Pork Loin Steak and it's comparing £4 vs £3.30 T.

    The trigger item (of which they bought 2) - is some £4 chicken fillets (or at least they are called Chicken Fillets on the receipt) - bar code ends 4952709 on the receipt (there's one digit of course missing at the end) and you can add 50524 in front of that - it's obviously an A-own brand.

    I don't know it works out as or whether they are any other items that would give a better return (I'm sure I'll be bound to have a look!).
    Sat.night report ready for me to be able to use on a possible Sunday shop. That's good isn't? With my £11+ Morries APG voucher:rotfl:.



    For those of you (outside of Northern Ireland) desperately wanting some cucumber - as opposed to sensibly changing your tastes this week to the Iceberg Lettuce, Celery and Savoy Cabbage (all on 50p in M but not yet known I believe whether all are picking up M's price - six minutes to wait folks for the Savoy Cabbage result on one of my shops - haven't bought Celery), here's the start of the Morries comp. on that shop (the cucumber is best at the mo. as the portion cucumber (you can always buy 2;)) vs Morries - not as good as the Whole ones vs T when T is on 50p (not at the moment, sadly) but best at the mo.):

    As long as you don't burn the drills out too. Mr TS has a habit of doing that. :eek:

    He is lucky to be here as after burning out one of his own, we took dad's old one from mum's shed, not realise while suffering from dementia my dad had tried to "mend" it. Few choice words in the air that day after the flames. :eek::eek::eek:
    Managed about 3 mm before the drill bit started to give up got through the other 7mm in about 20 minutes :rotfl: not bad for £9 :eek: anyway cabinet is up with one screw keeping it secure rather than two :cool:
