I was just looking at these, thinking what will I do with 22!

I didn't dare order them, I know I'll just eat them before the big day! Made an order up with dishwasher and washing machine supplies. Don't taste as nice but much more useful :-)

I was off last night savvy so never got to comment on your Morries experience.

I'm not sure if you have a routine that you have to / try to stick to? I know that can cause problems. Im probably also the only other person here that knows the chucking out experience won't be the big bugbear to you .....interrupting you doing what you do will be.

I hope you are ok.....I know you will be

Not particularly - I'm fine!
You may have seen (probably missed it) me highlighting a fuller section of the earlier post that I put point [2] into, then scaling it back to highlight less. In short, I removed the absolute agreement from applying to the 'not coping with change' thing.

It's not necessarily true in my case that I can't cope with change. Okay, sudden, immediate change is sometimes difficult (I suppose it is for many people, but we Asperger's seem to have more difficulty than most). But planned-for, given time in advance to adapt to the change, that can be easier. It's because the Wednesday planned next collection was not due for 48 hours that I could adapt to it. And, while a few months/years ago, I wouldn't have coped well, to be fair, while not expected (in the sense that there was nothing I could foresee that would be objected to and it had been allowed for many months, including one member of staff who spoke with me saying it was fairly harmless, seemed to be okay) - it's fine - I have catered for the eventuality!

I could use the second store instead - did use it once before, although that was during a daytime collection when I had a lot more time available whilst on 'holiday'. Admittedly, the difficulty over the aisles suddenly being all over the place - but I'm used to having things happen like that! But, to be fair, I decided that I wouldn't be bothering with this Wednesday, and not least because the other store close earlier, making it quite more difficult to fit in. It'd require a complete re-arrangement of the list (which would probably take as many months as it took till I finally got the current one up to running swimmingly every week) - I'll probably pop in (to the new store or a third one nearby) occasionally to do a quick 'sweep' (as in just view with the eyes - wonder if it's 'allowed' to take prices out of the store that way?) but won't be a comprehensive detail as before. It'll be the occasional browse and I suspect more of us will too.

If you spot whole ranges going on offer, I don't think you need to worry about remembering all of which specific varieties of an item, I'll be able to fish out details of virtually every range from somewhere (to be good enough for use, with no drastic change in range expected over the months).

It was a routine - but, from now on, they'll be a different one. Gives me more time tomorrow to catch up with things that I could do with catching up with - so it's good in that sense!

Good to go for APG

It's been like that all day, it was reported that the offer doesn't start in S until tomorrow though so i wasn't sure if APG would work today or not

Should be good from tomorrow

new RTC items spotted in my A tonight

4x200ml ribena red apple 50p
Robinsons double concentrate 1 litre - various flavours - £1

£1? RTC???:eek: Some Robinsons 1L I think vs M at £1, but no details collected sadly - did get that far in my collection before I was, ahem, interrupted but considered £1 for 1L bottle to be too expensive!:p:):) I think it's Fruit & Barley though - pretty sure I did get the details several weeks before - noticed they were still £1 yesterday (but then again that own brand squashes were on 2 for £1.50 or something like that).

Right, its almost tomorrow, so night all, have fun!

Im glad you're fine. I look forward to the day where sudden change is coped with so easily in my household

You are a proper bright and shiny star, I admire your ability to adjust so much ( I know you will understand what I mean)

FWIW, Wilkinson Sword Hydro Silk Razor £10 in A and £4.99 in M (until 10/11). £5.00 in Sains. according to msm as at 5/11. Not making M list as considered too risky there!

Savvybuyer

In case it helps, not up to speed on 3 for £10 triggers (if any still avail.) - those Milk Tray 400g, £5.00/3 for £10 vs any 2 for £6 in Sains. Just nice, Sains offer, even if A not being too dear enough.

Chocs vs M, just those Guylians uselessly at £3 (were lower vs T earlier in the year).

Tell me about it :cool:

1 x Green Mark Russian Wheat Vodka (1L) £23.00 £20.00
Barstewards!!

Lost out on that one. but Russian is better for value.

Lost out due to Sains. cynical price increases (IMO).

New M list is up and I've added the new items. Okay, APG collection for APG tomorrow, but to be fair not much changes - just be careful on some half price offers in case they end in M tomorrow. I suspect they'll run - odd item (from the thousands) might catch out, that's all. (Helped by not putting any 'buy in M' items on there:rotfl:.)

Let me know if anything changes (I'll cope, I promise!:)).

Was it double concentrate though?
