    Hi Savvy, I bought two Kumala Chenin Blanc and they show as N/A for morries. So did the 1ST CAPE LTD RELEASE PINOT GRIGIO and the DINO PROSECCO . Hths

    I thought not:(. I always had problems matching up those Kumala Chenins or Kumala Releases - either M seems not to have the Chenin Blanc or has the right 'type' but it's a Release in T and a Winemaker something or other in M. Anyway, pedantically, not the exact same wording on Kumalas in T and M as far as I could see last time I attempted (on my former M lists) to match them up.

    I don't think I saw Dino Prosecco in M ever - and the First Cape similarly either different First Cape wine or else First Cape Pinot in one and Limited Release Pinot Grigio in another - it makes a big difference, to them:(*, you see!

    *The supermarkets who have price match/beat schemes.

    hello stranger :) nice to see you again

    I'm lost...for words:eek::eek:!

    No, just not much to report now I haven't got any M prices this week, and prices didn't seem that much changing once the earlier part of the week is out of the way - lot probably still on from my lists in my sig. below, although I wouldn't rely on any of them myself now:rotfl::D.

    Got enough earlier in the week to last me through this weekend. I might do a bit of updating of my saved lists on msm later on, although not really too much of interest that we haven't already had glitch (except the wines!:D). Of course if you're planning Tvs A, I wouldn't use Salad Tomatoes as they are 75p:eek: in A but 49p on Super6 in Aldi at the mo.! So go careful:rotfl:... and have a good weekend!!:):)

    Oh hello!:D Back here (and welcome and thanks for 'new' thread!). I (and you I'm sure!) know I've been off a little, but as ever couldn't think of anything to say, or had nothing to say, so I didn't say anything!:rotfl:

    I suspect (unless it's just about ending) you've all been onto the wine glitch at T (2 for £10 combined with 25% reduction off full prices) that's made some of the press - just wanted to mention that perhaps the Kumalas or the Echo Falls White Zinf. may be Tvs M depending what M's prices are for a possible (but unlikely?) further PP on top? However I've no idea what M's prices are.

    Welcome back Savvy. Your absence has been noted.

    I suspect that, like some of us, the outpouring of emotion for Mad has made you feel both comfortable and uncomfortable. I'm certain that given your self awareness you'll be able to verbalise this in a more coherent way than most. Suffice to say that anything I word will be awkward.

    If you'd like to donate towards the charity or the flowers then I'm sure you'll find a link. Likewise the candle site. And it can be done anonymously if you feel an irrational urge for immediacy but would like the time to think things over in private.

    Either way, I think someone posted some good Ms deals today if you have the time to scroll back. My AvM wombling opportunities won't be until tomorrow, shortly before the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

    Please consider that as one of your specialist subjects. The physics and philosophy of the series make it one that has intrigued me since I began watching many moons ago.

    I make it £38.28:

    Wine 12 bottles on 2 for £10 = £60

    Discounts:

    6 x 6.99 x 0.25 = £10.49
    6 x 7.49 x 0.25 = £11.23

    Net £38.28
    I tried to explain to someone tonight. that the dearer the single bottle is, the cheaper it is :) that's why its better to get the £8.99 ones

    Thank You :D

    Without making myself sound really dumb, I have actually understood how you worked it out. ( I didn't understand the ones yesterday) :o
    you only just missed a H.H. coupon by £1.72 .
    or did you get other items as well.

    :wall: That explanation will fail on many people I'm afraid - normal, irrational people won't ever get it!:)
