Everything Leads Into The (new year) Elite thread

Savvybuyer

Hi there:). So easy to find triggers - I'm thinking the Muller Greek - it says 120g but I suspect it's really 4x120g - "Mouthwatering" mango - don't they make it sound good?! - may be a trigger to the 2 for £4 Muller Greek Style 4 pack offer. For anyone doing a Sainsbobs comp. (£1.09 in S).

But... is it worth it? It only adds 18p (compared to paying £2.18 straight or 2 for £4.00, hence £2.00) and the mango one does not add to the APG - if it fails to appear, you don't get a refund on that to 10% cheaper than £1.09. May as well buy 2 packs that do appear. Or even just one pack (of not the mango) to compare vs straight £1.09.

I found this as starting off at Sains. on msm (in order to find what to compare vs Sains.), it's in the savvy buys for S, then saw it had a higher individual price and mbuy in A (which always causes me now to go onto a.com to see if same number in the mbuy as on msm signed in and out - I see 6 in, 4 out on msm but 7 on a.com and the missing one is the Mango. It has no picture, yet, on a.com - so, easy way of identifying possible triggers, which are often items that are new is to see the ones that have no picture of the product yet on a.com and see if they're on msm (or, as in my case, identified the reverse way, from msm first and then onto a.com where, inevitably, I notice a product with no picture on a.com yet)).

I said may be best just to buy one pack that is on msm and on a.com and compare vs £1.09 straight (i.e. no trigger as, while it may glitch the mbuy price, it doesn't itself refund to £1.09-10% - and you'd have paid equiv. £2 for that non-APG-refunding trigger item that is probably £1.09 in S, if avail.). However, best one may be to wait and hope that £2.18 individual price goes to a nice r'back £1.00 soon yet with the 2 for £4.00 hopefully still on (thus buying in 2s - £1 each instore but 2 for £4.00 msm vs Sainsbobs £1.09 each). I think I'll wait on them!:D

On the subject of out of date chocolates, I found a big box of maltesers under sons bed yesterday, as I was clearing out his toys, don't even know where they came from. I was thrilled, needed a pick me up, anyway, opened them up, they looked ok, so put one in my mouth and bit into it and it was vile, the honeycomb was disguting, hard and vile, but I had to try a few more!!!!!! just in case, and yes they were all hard and horrible. Shame, had to throw them away.


I have picked my orders up from Tescos today, the lovely 8 pack of mugs and 4 slice toaster.

Oh I ordered the mugs but not picked up yet. Are they nice Sarah ? Tia

Afternoon all!

I haven't read back and tbh I won't have time until tomorrow so hope everyone's ok xx

Just to give you a laugh, re the language misuse thing, I once heard someone say this....

"God the weather's awful, it's raining incestuously!"

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: my brother's brilliant for those. He always mispronounces baked goods. He thinks mille-feuilles are 'malfoys' and that a pavlova is a 'palaver'. He also accidently called Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire 'Noblet of Fire'. He's a muppet that one.

Evening all :wave:

Neither of you were very detailed. (Just saying it did or didn't work)

Sorry to hear you're being messed about

Go and have some fluffy white chocolate to cheer yourself up

Thanks aau I have been very patient, I knew 23rd December that mortgage was a problem. But apparently previous planning permission with the place they are selling is now an issue so they are no further along than begininning of December.

I feel really bad as they were so excited but have left it that they can come back if they are in a position to.

And I know I eat all sorts but white fluff is not one of them.
