Speaking of that, I've earmarked Toblerone 400g at £3 in M (you can check msm, that is the best price at the mo.) - with Mr Savvy Refusenik at the helm though, it's not going to make it into the M list; I'm waiting for some obliging store to put a mbuy offer across them (and perhaps introduce a few brand new items that we've never seen before).:rotfl:

It's perhaps a good moment to look at the original meaning behind "refusenik" at this point - originally used to describe people who wished emigrate to another country (c.1967) but were refused permission by the officials. The people denied permission were usually Soviet Jews. There is therefore a certain tinge (or more than that) of anti-semitism to the original refuser, whose victim was the "refusenik". Therefore, I hesitated a little before I used the word "refusenik" in case there was some unintended connotation behind it.

What's occurring? There's no way I'm gonna be able to catch up on 5 days of elite! I've missed you all.

Quick question: while I was away working I let an APG expire (expires today) and I'm a bit peeved with myself as its worth £6. Is there anything I can do/any way I can use it?

Most a's don't close til 10pm so it's not expired just yet :cool:

Just 2 days ago in this store I got a PP, went out to the car to dump the curries then went in & bought some more using that PP :beer::D:beer:

They scan all right

TCB has emailed me to say that the Amazon book deal £5 offs should track by Monday, otherwise get in touch.

I'm back now (as you'll have noticed:D) after going off to get together my own shopping.

My shopping, in T, came back with the PP amount I expected. (I should think so too:rotfl:.)

I maintained over half the value of the previous voucher (which I used to purchase all but two pence of the new shop). Gradually running down the voucher from the few weeks of £10 off £30 that I had. They've let me loose now:rotfl:- I can now shop in the bigger store:T!

You may remember this from last time:

£9.83 voucher. This new shop came to £9.85 (I worked out the Licquorice Allsorts were best value in T - the other packs in Aldi being slightly smaller). Gave them two pence though - although I can pretend it was a straight fiver voucher back and that I put 2p onto the voucher. Guess what the bill on my next shop will be? It won't be nearly £10!:D:rotfl::rotfl:

I've started liking those 50p items in Mr A - for this shop anyway!:rotfl:Proof that Mr A would have been cheaper (I think many of our comps. are Tvs A rather than vs S or vs M - does that suggest A is really the cheapest supermarket overall???) but that T gave me 7 packs on the extra free pack - I very very almost got a proper "7 extra" free. (Well - the seven actually cost me 15.4p, compared to comparing A to Waities when W had had those 7 packs some weeks ago on 94p:D.)

A straight comp. to A's price on the 7 McVities Original Cheddars, so as not to favour any one retailer and to provide a fair comparison. Hoping for DTD on the Aero Mousses, but was not to be. (I think they've just come off £1.39 bogof or £1.39, any 2 for £2.00, whatever it was.) The family will be happy they can have more Aero Mousses. Thanks for getting rid of that nasty bogof T!

Managed to have A as the cheapest competitor on every comparable item.

Thanks Savvy you work so hard to keep on top of all this,I hope no one minds but I would just like to say we all appreciate you.
