My last post is now finished:rotfl:.

Now, in this new post, I think I'll kill two birds with one stone. As is usual for me:rotfl::rotfl:. Or rather not usual - as I usually kill fifteen birds per post:rotfl:.

You shouldn't thank this post - it's not useful as it is concerned with offers that have now gone so, if you didn't manage to get them, you now can't. That said I've missed the milk myself.

Firstly, I managed to get what now seems to have been a glitch at Sains. earlier this week. The Fairy Non-Bio 45 washing powder went on at £4. Save £6 it said online and said it was 'valid until 10/12'! Was £10 now £4. I thought that was too good to be true, but went to Sains first thing to buy it if their SEL said £4. It did and till charged me that too! 8.9p per wash - the cheapest I've ever seen on Fairy washing powder. But I rushed out on the first day of the offer anyway - very helpful as I had a £10 BM to get rid of. Nice £4 Fairy washing powder helped a lot to get the £10!:rotfl::D:T It's now showing at £8 on sains.co.uk so it seems it was a 'mistake'! And also showing on msm at £8 with a 'Savvy buy' label. Not savvy at all in my view - it was £4 a few days before! Do not fall for this £8 'savvy' buy - not that you'd fall for any washing powder at over 17p a wash:eek:. 30% cheaper than average. Well, 'average' must be totally unimaginable ridiculousness and even 30% off it is way too expensive.

Secondly, I missed this as my useless stores instore not quick enough to put the mbuy SELs on (still showing instore in one of them without the mbuy labelling even today) - Cravendale 2L milk has been £1.98 straight for a short while in A. I notice it's now 2 for £3 on msm (paid for partly by an increase in the individual price to £2.20 it appears). I was waiting for this to have an mbuy put on it instore but for that to have not filtered through to msm yet:(:(. Sadly it's already on msm - and a visit to a.com reveals that offer started on 27/11/13! Where have I been? How could I have missed this for three days? (See above re. my useless stores failing to draw my attention to it instore.) I suppose not to worry - probably better the other way: waiting for the mbuy to go offline and off msm, but still available instore. But when does the 27/11 offer end?:mad:

Lastly (it was three birds maybe:)) - this also doesn't seem a runner but seems to lead to nought. Mention it though, as I never know - somebody might find something. I saw the Ritz crackers on 2 for £1.50 instore today when doing the changed to vs T shopping. Except that they only had the mbuy on the Original version in my store and not showing on the SEL on the Cheese version. So I wondered if it would scan at 2 for £1.50 (even if bought one of each) but then compare at full prices on APG as the pricing was really full price on the Cheese version from tomorrow (online pricing applies) and maybe my store had reflected this early? Couldn't remember whether T had both versions at 2 for £1.50 or just the Original, with the Cheese much more expensive, so I didn't bother to take them to scan and see. Anyway - it turns out msm has the mbuy on both of them in A so I very much doubt it would have worked in any event.

I'll keep looking for me and you though!!:D:D:)

Been trying to tell DH tonight of some of ur DS2 quotes, sooooo cute. Don't quite come out the same tho from me unfortunately

He's being funny today. He's decided he's speaking in French, but he doesn't know enough French to string a whole sentence together. He keeps typing things into a translator app and saying them to me in French. I don't have a clue what he's saying or why he's decided to speak French. When his dad asked him earlier, he answered him.....in French, so we still don't know :rotfl::rotfl:

Cravendale 1L in Tesco is flashed on the bottle at £1.

Ha ha! This soooo made me laugh. DH says bonsoir to him :-)
Bet he's sooo cute but I can imagine a little trying at times for you.
I actually like his way of thinking, what does that say?!
They we are all on the spectrum at some point xx

B1G1F Chicken in Tosco
Hi Everyone
Has the offer finished now for the chicken please? Cannot find it on the site.
Thanks for any help.

The alert will have noticed a subtle change introduced with the Tvs S list I posted this afternoon.

Namely, I'm no longer referring to offers as BOGOFs but now deciding, following similar to MSE's own weekly emails, to call them BOGO"F"s instead. On the basis that something is only free, for our purposes, if it involves no cost whatsoever in order to obtain it. (The old section 11 Trade Descriptions Act approach rather than the BCAP Advertising Code approach perhaps:rotfl::rotfl:.)

As you have to "buy one" in order to get the 'price' on the other item, it can therefore not class as free of all costs whatsoever, and thus I'm now putting the free part in quotations as "it isn't really"! Not to mention that sometimes the cost of the individual items (which have been on offer) is doubled before a BOGO"F" goes on some times.

E.g. Ski Yoghurts - last week in T 84p each. Now £1.69 bogo"f". In other words now half a penny more expensive getting two (and having to get two now) this week than the one you could get last week. Anyway - as the individual price on all the items in the new offer is the same (obviously now £1.69 each not 84p each), only encourages me to buy more from A. So Mr T putting a bogo'f' on just means I buy twice as many from A! Particularly as I like the Dessert Lemon Cheesecake ones a great deal. Though whether I'm too happy about the 0.5p minus 10% price increase on them I don't know!:rotfl:

I shall stick pedantically to bogo"f" or b1g2"f" in future and, if I ever miss the quotes off in future, please feel free to pick me up on it!:T:T I'm not going to go back and alter previous ones that were posted as bogof, with or without capital letters and with or without the whole acronym capitalised, but the change applies from here on in.

Thanks everyone!!:)

I would like to thank you for posting this!
I had forgotten all about it, and after seeing your post clicked onto Amazon. I had to join the waiting list with over 500 people before me. I assumed I would have no chance, but eventually I got the message to say I could buy!! DS2's pressie is on it's way, thanks again Mrs Stinkface :A:j:j

No problem glad I can be of some help .

Can I point out to anyone buying any lightening deals that if you use any gift vouchers the promo price disappears and you get charged the original price. I'm just having a little word with customer services about it. Not impressed as they are fully aware of the problem. :mad:
