    I'm back :D
    Interview went really well I think. It was a group one and before I had even sat down one of the managers came up to me asking if I was (insert name) I said yes and promptly got whisked into another room on my own :eek: apparently my cv had been hand picked by a manager the cash office job. It's not what I thought I was applying for but I'm happy to take it if its offered. I find out on Monday. The woman (supervisor) interviewing me did let slip that she was pregnant and that the bosses were already looking for her replacement when she left. My name has already been mentioned :D





    Nope I was a co op girl b/c ;)



    It's not on mine :(



    Thanks for this flo, I had put one on my order for tomorrow :)

    Fingers crossed for you, I used to work in a supermarket cash office, quite enjoyed it.

    Well done MRS STINKFACE. Hope you get it.

    By the way, FREE LISTINGS on EBAY. I am sure it has already been mentioned, but just a reminder in case anyone has chintz they want to get rid of!

    Sorry to butt in but the razor does not compare, as per my shop this morning
    2 x Gillette Venus & Olay Razor with Shower Holder £18.00 N/A

    That's fine - do butt in as I 'knew' that would be N/A vs M anyway. Razors vs M - none of them in M stood out to me (all back up to full price it seems), things like disposables (I know you're not asking about them) on £1.99 that were £1.49 a few months ago, others better options avail. vs elsewhere etc.

    Whilst doing some ad hoc saves into my private lists (not full checking but just looking at my own potential shop vs M and discovering A is more than 10% already etc.), I think I'll mention these before they get lost/before I forget about them or before I do more comprehensive searching, perhaps tomorrow, and come back with the result way too late.

    Qual Street Matchmakers are Svs A, as they are £1.12 in M. (S £2.00, A £1.00.) Frijj Milkshakes are a 50p item and also Svs A (but not as good as mbuy glitches when other way around Avs others). Check msm for correct flavours, as you should already be doing.

    Boursin Soft Cheese Herbs & Garlic (6) A £1.74 vs S £1.00 (until 15/10 (14/10))

    Cadbury Twinpots are Avs T 50p vs 50p.

    Quorn Chicken Style Pieces (350g) - although this is uncomfirmed (then again, so are all the others but they are on msm and so felt to be much much safer) Avs M £2.50, £1.60. Reminds me of completely separate post, seen while catching up, where someone said they bought a couple of products, showing with prices (for T I think) on msm and they returned N/A on the APG, seems they may have been on 3 for 2 in T and remember certain offers are now excluded from the APG (e.g. where the individual prices of the items in competitor bogofs/3 for 2s are not all the same) so the N/As, on the surface of it, unfortunately seem correct.

    [The Quorn Chicken Pieces are also 3 for 2 (in T) but that will be an N/A on the APG (T's prices across the Quorns in that offer vary) and M's price is cheaper than T's even on the 3 for 2!:rotfl::rotfl: Only needing one, not three (at more expensive per pack even with the 3 for 2 discount in T).]

    Also - separately again - I saw some Crunchy Salad packs on offer in Sains. at 90p each this afternoon (but don't seem to compare from A) - Iceberg Lettuce pack is A £1.00 vs T £1.00. But...aren't these stores just so expensive, even on the low-end price they normally go to? (Salad packs are unbelievably £1.40 sometimes.) Just going through some products that came up on a search on msm, and also the Savvy Buys - just so expensive at those "Savvy buy" prices compared to the ones I get!

    Noticed the Peppa Pig 6 Lollies on £1 in my S store, but showing £1.99 (logged in and out) out of stock on msm. They mean out of stock on the £1.99 price, but...Sains... update your website soon please!!:) No go at the moment.

    Cadbury's Brunches, it seems, have disappeared from a.com and msm - are they changing in price in A soon? Hope they are - they were £1 rollback. I could do with a higher price (and mbuy;)) on them - these items continue to be queued up, off this forum, ready for me to pounce with some info. about them once the pricing in A becomes favourable.

    As for my shop in S this afternoon, to spend the BM, it went reasonably okay and that's another story that I might get round to later! Ad also came on about some of their 800g bread - at £1.30:eek::eek:. Live well for... [the same price on branded items as it would have been if you had shopped in T or A].:D

    I don't normally watch this darts comp and am finding the start on a double rule really strange - have they always had it in this comp? I normally watch the comps with wolfie in.

    The big Deans shortbread should be a trigger, at least I hope they still are I have a shop due about 9 with them on.
