Does anyone else worry about what they would eat if it wasn't for glitches? Dont think I could afford to eat:eek:

Shopping used to be hard work, taking twin boys around the shops. Now they have started school I have discovered glitches etc and its so much harder :rotfl::rotfl:

Very grateful though as it has allowed me to be a stay at home mum :T

Hope everyone is having a good evening.

She had no nappy on for about ten minutes. I was ironing her clothes and she came into the spare room. But then I noticed something small and brown near her foot and then another small brown thing plopped out from her naked behind :eek: so I rushed to grab the baby wipes. As I came out of the room, I saw a brown foot print on the hallway carpet. My eyes followed the trail into her brothers room, where a humongous turd was sat waiting for me :eek::rotfl: 40 minutes later, carpets and tigercub were clean. Moral of the story, my child is a filth pot :rotfl:

:rotfl::eek::eek::eek:
Oh yeah she's defo gonna love you when you repeat that one :rotfl:
Delightful aren't they

Thinking about yesterday's story has just reminded me of when she was very little. I left her in the living room on her changing mat (without nappy) for less than 5 minutes. when I went back in, she had made the biggest mess (and I don't mean doing a wee), rolled around in it giggling and laughing and ended up on the carpet where she had made an even bigger mess. I was so shocked :eek: that I burst into laughter. Unbelievably, it never made a stain. I posted on here about it at the time, I remember that much :rotfl:
As I said, little filth pot

Sponsored, and bumped.:)

I notice you're doing the Swimathon in the Ministry of Truth building?
That's what everyone I know calls it:D

Hi Jelly Biactol, Thanks for sponsoring me and bumping the post.

I never heard it referred to that before I will ask to ask some of the locals if they call it that.

I could have ordered one but I have a self imposed limit of £3 a bottle for normal wine

£3 a bottle :eek: You must be made of money

While the Warbs Thins MOCs were giving £0.60 off your shopping in Sainsbobs, I was getting two packs of Warbs and a bottle of the value wine (in plastic bottles, with the slogan 'For the table not for the cellar':)) for £2.90. That was it - just bread and wine (like a biblical figure - not!).

Goodnight people

Right, I need to was my hair. Can't be bothered hauling myself upstairs but won't have time before work in the morning. My hair could probably fry the KFC at this rate!!

Thanks Stinky for the new thread!:T:T:T

Lots of pages already - and a new thread managed to be set up last night when I wasn't looking! I have been keeping tabs on prices however (as ever:D).

The number of pages here made me wonder if a glitch was on! I've already come home 'to see if the milk is glitching'. It seems not - I know mbuys were down to 686 yesterday but I've seen the Seabrook crisps didn't glitch earlier - maybe bought a day too early?!? I'd rather not be shopping around price change day anyway - and I'm sure Patty, and others, will be here as soon as anything goes glitchy if indeed that ever happens tomorrow. Keep an eye on wombles and mbuys - TIA!

This was from the 'winning' comparison in a womble that gave nearly £3 yesterday:

2 x Belvita Breakfast Biscuits - Fruit & Fibre (6x50g) £2.00 £5.00

I shudder to think what I would have got if they had not bought the Belvitas. (Answer: £5.44.)

The Cathedral cheeses have thankfully gone up over the weekend to £4.48 (or any 2 for £6.00:rotfl:), Although, of course, people on seeing £4.48 instore or 2 for £6.00 are more likely to buy 2, and thus reduce the APG from £4.48-£3 elsewhere = £1.78 to 2 for £6 vs £3x2 (£6) = 60p. (Cathedral Citys did have mbuys off yesterday, but I suspect no glitching - although Cath City Mild 350g did have its mbuy off for a little longer. So maybe two of that or mix and match one other involving it would work? Sadly, ruddy Sainsbobs has put prices up from £3 yesterday to 2 for £7:eek: today:(:(.)

The Belvitas and 4-pack yogurts at £1 became the items to irritate me. With it being a windy day the other day, I had a womble, from God, roll in my direction outside the supermarket. I saw it contained lots of £1 Belvitas and initially thought they'd bought all the same one. Closer inspection revealed that, although they'd bought 12 packs in total, they had got 4 different ones. Along with just three other different items. So - not enough items!! If items are being an irritant on the APG, I'm sure that means they are items that T and S shoppers should be buying (on their comps vs A).

Those twin pack £4 versions of Cathedral also still an occasional thorn in the side on the APG (they lose out a lot vs T and W).
Surprisingly, given that I've thought they were a 'very expensive store', it was Mr S's prices that generated that nearly £3 voucher.

I notice Sainsbobs is now (to be) £1.50 on the Belvitas:(:(, so yet again they bought them for me either before or after the offer elsewhere:(. Actually I thought £5.44 compared to nearly £3 doesn't seem to have lost as much as I imagined - though I think that's because, if they hadn't got the Belvitas, Sains. would have been (slightly) cheaper. It lost about £2.50. But, just goes to show... if they hadn't succumbed to the Belvitas, at £2, and had then checked their receipt and claimed the voucher, they would have had around £2.50 more on it - which would then have paid for the Belvitas and a bit more.

I also managed to check a receipt of a relative. I'm pleased that they saved more than 10%!:) Sadly they bought some Oat So Simple at £2:eek:, more than twice as much as we'd pay here (I think it was vs 95p recently, but now everywhere that stocks them on higher pricing) - so around a pound lost there and also bought another item and lost around £2.50 on it:eek::eek: compared to 'our prices'. Ah well - at least they are happy with what they bought and it's their money to do as they please:wall::wall:. They got the Heinz individual soup (now on 5 for £3:eek:), now more expensive per can (89p instead of previous 50p) and, even on the offer, more expensive. They were on 6 for £3 elsewhere (though I note that pricing appears now to have increased as well under a new mbuy), which, at the date of their shop, was better. But of course they bought 5 in Mr A and thus instead of getting an additional one, to compare to a cheaper price (6 for £3), they got 5 and compared to full prices at the rival, missing out their mbuy:(.

To round it all off, they bought some Mullers as well. 8 of them:eek::(.:rotfl::rotfl: So no glitch there either. Oh well, I have people that don't listen to me at all (in RL) even when I tell them the items they need to buy:wall::wall:...I just don't understand! So long as they're happy losing five quid per shop, I don't mind!:mad: Though I suppose if far more people did take notice, the stores would never be able to sustain an APG at all. So that was their shopping - a full shop of around £40 spend and 'more than 10% cheaper' (than the ridiculous prices and missed offers of elsewhere) - I'd find it very hard to even spend that much, I'm probably on far lower than even half that now, if that!

I might get an Oat So Simple next time they are £1 in Morries and then sell it to my relative at £2:rotfl::rotfl:! There they were buying that, whilst you here were comparing it earlier vs £1 (or vs 94p), so less than half the price, whilst I was refusing to buy it at all until the mbuys disappeared on the instore 2 for £3 offer and compared fully at full price vs £1 or less:rotfl::rotfl:. Sadly never happened, so I never bought it! They have £2, some here have about 90p, but mine is about 25p or less (hope and...wishful thinking:rotfl::D:rotfl: maybe).

I had this return yesterday vs Morries (a womble of course - I would never have compared this - or bought this much of loose produce in one shop:eek:):

1.69 x ASDA Swede per kg £1.69 £3.04

Nearly as bad vs S and W - £2.70 on that amount there, although N/A vs T so perhaps could be used, with care, vs T. I say 'with care' as prices may have changed - msm now suggesting M is cheaper on a 740g swede (no price history available) - don't know if they've gone down in price in M? I suspect it's 'watch for wombles' and see what the flip-sides of comparisons are telling us.

Is it just me or does savvybuyers posts sometimes baffle you?
I find her(?) postings fascinating but I usually get lost after the first sentence:rotfl: I am totally in awe of her observations.

So much to catch up on, thanks for the new thread Mrs stinkface:T
