    Good evening everybody, I hope you are well. Thank you queen of cheap for posting about the clothing sale, I got tops and skirts for myself and my step daughter. I had a good whopsie run tonight. This week I have started a stash for my step daughter as she is going to uni this September.

    Thanks to dee dee I have got a good stash already, the sale on shampoo and deodorant from Mr A as helped as well.

    trulymadly I am sorry to hear about your daughter's accident, I am happy that it won't affect her career.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Tvs M

    Possibly to go with the burgers.

    Someone (mhoc) mentioned they were struggling for Tvs M items recently, which may well have been the case last week (then again I seem to have now removed a few that are now higher priced in M and have gone on offer in T), however this week may be good. Beware that T PP has a mind of its own though, and that this list is from m.com - and is second-hand m.com at that (via msm) - whilst prices are collected instore and may not have been taken.

    There's also a few items that need checking instore in M as not showing on msm:
    Thornton's Mini Caramel Flapjacks £1.40 T, probably £1.30 in M (according to price on other Thorntons on msm) but looking for a £1 (or below) price. Probably not Tvs M therefore, but 'buy in W' at the moment.
    The 4 pack Avocados (Ripen at Home) need checking in M - are they still on £1?
    Ocean Spray Craisins Dried Cranberries (with Pomegranate Juice) (150g) - any M price?
    M Plain Naan Breads (2 per pack - approx 320g) T 40p Msm says M at 79p but may be incorrect?
    T Chocolate Sponge Cake Mix (400g) T 82p, needs checking to see if there is an equiv. M product cheaper. T's price has increased over time so we don't want an N/A!
    The Scampi Bites, that I have included below, need checking to see what price M Savers Scampi is on, if available. (Also is that £1.25 a nasty price reduction in T?)

    Tvs M

    Packets & Cereals
    Tesco Everyday Value Corn Flakes (500g)31p 31p (Sains, at last, has put its price on its equivalent (non-equivalent according to Sains:D) product back down to 31p, so can now buy as BM filler or spend of BM in S.

    Frozen
    Tesco Everyday Value White Fish Fillets (520g)£1.68 £1.62:( Should be much cheaper I feel!
    Tesco Everyday Value Scampi Bites (235g)£1.25 ???
    Birds Eye Chicken Nuggets (18 per pack - 355g)£3.00 £1.49
    Wall's Cornetto Classico (4x90ml)£2.00 99p
    Wall's Cornetto Strawberry (4x90ml)£2.00 99p

    Dairy & Eggs
    I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spread (500g)£1.80 BUY ONE ONLY £1.00

    Tins, Jars & Cooking
    Tesco Everyday Value Clear Honey (340g)99p 99p

    Household
    Tesco Everyday Value Sponge Pan Cleaners (5)19p 19p
    Spontex Long Lasting Kitchen Cloth (2)£3.00 £1.50:eek:
    Tesco Limescale Prevention Powder (1Kg)£2.00 :eek:N/A

    Drinks
    Kenco Cappio Caffe Latte (8)£2.49 £1.24
    Westons Old Rosie Cloudy Scrumpy (2L)£5.99 £4.00 (might not be stocked in many T stores? - so have an alternative in case)
    Baileys Irish Cream with Orange Truffle (1L)£13.00 £10.00 T 'Was £19 now £13 until 1/4' - good news as can now go with burgers without exceeding cap, but only if T PP picks up the lower price for M is it good:(.

    Beauty & Health
    Tesco Everyday Value Nail Clipper48p N/A
    2xTesco Cucumber Facial Wipes (25)£1.00x2 Any 2 for £1.50 (...But why??!?:()
    Elastoplast Fabric Waterproof Plasters (18)£2.00 £1.37

    Snacks & Sweets
    Sakata Japanese Rice Crackers - Roast Tomato & Balsamic (90g)£1.99 £1.00 (ah you pesky thing:mad: - there it is - the T price appears on msm (irrelevant to TPP just a source of data!;)) when signed out - probably means not available in many T stores)

    Meat, Fish & Poultry
    Tesco Everyday Value Danish Salami (160g)£1.00 N/A


    HTH. Hoping that the last "H" stands for "Helps" more than "Hinders".

    What a terrible few hours we've had:(

    DD rang to say she was in A and E at Queen Elizabeth Birmingham and she was in a bit of a state. She had crushed her left hand under a weight at the gym. It fell on to her and she felt her index finger "pop".. She is left handed and half way through her dentistry course.

    Graphic photos followed which knocked us sick.

    I thought the blackest thoughts:o

    Anyway to cut a long story short. ....She is fine. Nothing broken but nasty softy issue damage.
    Her whole career could have been wiped out.

    We've had a couple of stiff drinks. We were almost in the car to head down to see her.:(

    Hope all is well with you all tonight :A
    Sorry to hear you and your daughter have been having a bad night and hope she heals quickly:)

    Does anyone know what time the T sale starts tomorrow please? Is there any point going tomorrow morning if people can go at midnight?

    Wish I could have gone today, so jealous of others hauls. Keep telling myself nothing would have fitted.

    The age old I want it but I don't need it :o

    More possible Tvs M:T:T. (Although because I have equivalents in A, many of these (or their equiv. A own brand) are on Avs M for me, for the 10%. So - offset the cond.spend or whatever extra you are getting from T - if nothing extra, should probably just shop in M if available to you - versus the loss of 10% off the M price). E.g. McCoys Classic - I'd need to get at least an extra 20p from Mr T from something not available in Mr A (cashback wouldn't do if you can get that for shopping in both T and A) before I shopped in T rather than A. Eg £3 cond spend in T - is worth £2.80 if buying the McCoys as you lose the 20p you would have got all things being equal if it compared on Avs M. If you buy all this lot on Tvs M, with just £3 cond spend off, it could make that £3 almost worthless if losing 10% (of M's price) on every item.

    As A have an mbuy back on the McCoys though, I'm watching that, as that could make them free, or better, rather than a useless £2 pricematch (barring the fact it could be your last £4.19 that gets you the £20 in T (condspend amount) then £3 off = getting the pack for minus £1, but then you could have filled that £4.19 with other items that wouldn't have lost money vs Avs M).
