    Hi,
    I managed to get 2 lovely chickens (biggest on shelf), 2 roasting veg & 2 lots of yummy looking desserts. Unsure which wine was best (neded white) so tried the fizzy italian one. Which wines are you all getting? Total price before discount was over £37.

    For info, I have a couple more m & s leaflets more than I will be able to use!

    Thnks TM for pointing this out. I intend to do the same again next week.

    Think I need a 4th freezer as have 12 DrO pizza MOCs to use as well.

    I haven't been able to get the m+s leaflets. Have green redeem vouchers on their way - got to also convert oh`s recycle from old kerbside collection to green redeem.

    M+S high Wycombe Eden centre yes
    :rotfl:
    :hello: The grass is not greener, it just looks that way from a distance :hello:

    Well with the 'best hope' womble leading to nought, the other two are even more hopeless. First one is below - items to buy in Mr T? (The other one - 50p Oreo Vanillas, Snapjacks, Fox Creams, Pot Noodles, Frijj shakes:(:(:( - worst than hopeless! The worst possible shopping trolley in my view.)

    47 items (40 different) on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Tesco

    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£12.56
    1 x ASDA British Whole Milk 6 Pints (3.41L)£1.48£1.99
    1 x ASDA Spaghetti (500g)£0.50£0.95
    1 x ASDA Tuna Chunks in Brine (4x185g)£3.00:eek:£4.50:eek::eek:
    1 x ASDA White Baguette£0.50£0.75
    1 x ASDA British Iceberg Lettuce Loose£0.50£1.00 (but cheaper iceberg lettuces in Lidl/Aldi?)
    1 x ASDA Salad Tomatoes (6)£0.75£1.00
    1 x ASDA Green Seedless Grapes (500g)£1.50£2.00 (but T Eday ones on non-PP shop or M Savers at £1?)
    1 x ASDA Raspberry Jam Doughnuts (5)£0.50£0.60 (note showing 60p for T when only Jam ones bought - perhaps one custard and one jam on Avs T - and 2 items towards the 8? Holding out that it will still work.)
    1 x Dr. Oetker Ristorante Hawaii Pizza (355g)£1.50£2.40
    1 x Dr. Oetker Ristorante Pizza Pepperoni & Salame (32...£1.50£2.40
    1 x Uncle Ben's Sweet & Sour Sauce Extra Pineapple (50...£1.00£1.79 - Avs M at £1.

    1 x Kellogg's Frosties (750g)£1.50£2.00
    2 x Batchelors Super Noodles Chicken (100g)£1.00£1.30 (don't need to buy 2 - or any indeed any:()
    1 x Nestle Kit Kat 2 Finger Bars - Milk Chocolate (8)£1.00£1.59 (but no good matching £1 in my view. Should be £1 for M but returning vs £1.59 M)
    2 x Dairylea Dunkers Jumbo Tubes (4x47g)£2.00£2.24 (only need one - indeed why go for this and not Dairylea Cheese Slices vs A's 50p on those - check a.com for versions and make sure sizes are exactly the same)
    1 x Flora Buttery Taste Spread (1Kg)£2.00£3.00 (but other spreads elsewhere are cheaper per unit)
    Comparison total (compared products only)£51.61£64.17

    All these bargains you lot are getting and here is poor me with nowt :(


    Popped up to MrT to collect my little candles from Direct and thought I'd have another look around the store
    You wouldn't think that Ts had a sale on here, no dvds, no books, no memory cards, no red or black kettle ! grrrrrrr I really really wanted a kettle :(
    Think I'll go and lay down in the dark somewhere to get over my envy :(

    :rotfl::rotfl::o:o Ditto

    I went up there at 8am this morning before work armed with a huge list of DVDs - filled a trolley - scanned & scanned - NOTHING :(
    Whilst I was doing this - a SA was boasting to me about the £2.50 camera he got last night & a red 4 slice toaster £2.50 :(

    Oh sorry :) I did get an XBOX 360 GRID2 for £3.75 & a PS3 Dragons Dogma for £2.50

    Saw -
    A James Martin cookbook 75p
    Lynda Bellingham Novel 75p
    Barry Norman autobiography 75p

    Going back now to collect my Monopoly mug set & an hour on the scanner ;)

    Supposedly the 'power aisle' is being cleared tonight for the sale stock tomorrow................

    Just a heads up for anyone who has been able to get the cheap cameras from T....

    The one I purchased yesterday is obviously an ex-display (spent last night cleaning grubby finger marks off!). Not bothered for the price. However, I can't check it works correctly yet as the box included all the bits and pieces but entirely the wrong battery. :eek:

    Now I'll have to take it back next week, and hope they have the right battery available, before I can fully check it. :(

    Took me two attempts checking the numbers before I found it! :rotfl:
