    Sad to say my first foray into bid nip wasn't a success. No Russell and Bromley Chelsea boots for me :( beginning to think eBay doesn't like me very much!

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    A v S

    1 x Flora Light Spread (500g) £1.70 £1.00 ( 30p moc and 5% CB)

    2 x ASDA Big Eat Burger Buns (6) £2.00 £1.40

    2 x Birds Eye Takeaway Feasts Original Chicken Popstar £3.50 £2.00 ( these are £1.99 or 2 for £2.00 so this is a little glitch)

    1 x McVitie's Go Ahead! Fruit Bakes - Apple (6x35g) £2.00 £1.32

    1 x McVitie's Jaffa Cakes (24) £2.20 £1.00

    1 x McVitie's Medley Hobnob Raisin & Milk Chocolate Ba... £1.00 £0.80

    3 x Cobra Extra Smooth Premium Lager Beer (660ml) £5.00 £5.00 ( just testing)

    1 x ASDA Protect Extreme Fresh Mouthwash (500ml) £1.48 £0.60

    2 x Radox Passionfruit Splash Shower Gel (250ml) £3.00 £2.00 ( more testing, sometimes the mess it up even more !)

    3 x Singha Thai Beer (630ml) £5.00 £5.00 ( more testing still £2 cash back)

    Comparison total (compared products only) £26.88 £20.12

    And...stand by (but bit of a wait!:rotfl:) for Avs S, [Strike]which may (then again, may not) appear sometime overnight[/Strike] [Edit: 2.35am - to appear a little later now]. Which of these items are on it?




    Answer: none of them (:( - my lists maybe groan as well as grown:rotfl:). I think I'm just too saving money with every day/month/year that passes. Taking in different order - the Protect Mouthwash doesn't make it, as compared to vs 49p before. The McVities Medley at 71p net is way too dear with no mbuy glitch availability. Bit like those Bakery Cookies that are vs S at 70p, but were 50p in S some months ago. They don't make my forthcoming list (if it ever arrives:o) either! McV J.C.s - well, no 1p:rotfl::rotfl:. McV Fruit Bakes, too expensive(:A though). Big Eat Buns, should be whoopsies:rotfl:. The Flora Light Spread - good one, with use of the MOC - but I'll check later and calculate whether they are (with the MOC and cashback) better or worse than I Can't Believe... vs Morries £1.37.

    The Takeaway Feasts: I don't think that is a glitch. They were 87p each in Morries some months ago, I think it's a very high individual price but S have added an mbuy now - perhaps to try to thwart a BM back vs A when they were £1 a short time back. So, instead of people buying one, at £1.99 and price-matching (as it was) A at £1, S maybe have people thinking may as well get one more for an extra penny, as 2 for £2, and ended up with you buying two instead and getting nothing onto any BM coupon that you probably won't get as other items offset etc.

    Blame me. I bought one at £1.99, before S introduced the 2 for £2. I bet they did it on seeing the feedback from my result going to their computers and telling them "A are £1". So, instead of price-matching £1.99 to that, they go for 2 for £2 and have you buying more!! (Very clever!:)) A's price has since increased, and S's 2 for £2 now encourages us to buy 2 in A. (I got one in S vs A at previous £1, and I was losing about 21p (13p+8.7p) as cond.spend got me more.)

    These Popstars(:dance:) were on the future Avs S - but I've removed them (a day or two ago) as I've now decided they are effectively like Chicken Nuggets and therefore SP Nuggets, far cheaper per unit and getting more for the money, are better priced!:rotfl::D Though I don't go for SP ones anymore, as not very quality in my view, instead I go for something else - but price per unit on those Popstars at £1 (or even 10% off): :eek:!
