Was just thinking today when I took my dad to his first ever supermarket as opposed to village shops. 38years ago this month apart from his sheer shock of a shop that big ,he was to witness his first weekly shop in a trolley as opposed to day today shopping .As I was putting things in my trolley he was taking them out .....not possible to want or need 3 tins beans I can hear him saying.....as I am rebutting them back in my trolley.NOw in them day's you didn't get glitches the best you got was buy say a box of daz and you might get a tube of Vim free. with it and that day I put four boxes of Daz with the four free VIm in my trolley and he started taking them out saying no one could possible want 4 boxes of daz in one week ....and i said no but it will save me buying a box for the next 3 weeks and I have saved on 4tubes of vim cost......well I thought he was going to blow a fuse.....he couldn't grasp the concept and just kept saying you don't need 4 daz nor 4 vim.....I tried then to get him to buy something before something ran out but since he was a child shopping was done on a daily bases then he brought his children up. Alone after my mother died when I was 8 so we would shop on morning for bread then school and shop for tea on return from school ,then when tea was over and pots done back to the shops for supper and the cat and dog food was the order of the ritual of several trips to the co,rner shop ......but the classic was when Safeway started there bogof so say he wanted domestosp and I would take him 2 and say you got 2 domestos they on special offer buy one get one free he used to say I don't want the free one I just want one you have the free one ...but dad I already got 2 as I got the bogof and as if humiliated he used to say well am not having the free one.......I wonder what he would think of me now that I have food in the garage red wine loo rolls.jaffa,s etc etc

When I first left school in the 70's I worked for a while in a little corner shop. A lot of the elderly people who came in were like this. I remember getting quite exasperated one day when I tried to tell a customer that it was actually cheaper to buy a big tin of baked beans than a little tin but she was having none of it!

Yup, I just need to be careful as some offers I want comparing to T and some to S etc. the crisp one will be done be itself I think.

Woohoo, MSL app updated for me too.
I know the offers are mostly only 25% but that combined with the APG / TPP could make stuff 75% off if the offers are right
Fingers crossed they bring back more 50% ones towards Christmas :j

They're talking about it on bbc as well this morning.
I'm hoping the shops start doing their 'green thing' and give away free bags for life for a while.
The local shops give away their fabric ones when they have a promotional thing on (usually with leafletts in) so I have a few of those I may have to decorate to make them look better
