Hi, can anyone repost the chocolate fudge cake that someone posted last week to be made in the slow cooker, thought I had saved it my laptop, but as its a new lappie, I cant find it, it may be here somewhere, but where I have no idea.0

Here's my T's shop.
Had approx £2 in MOCs mainly sent from T's.
Also used 2xPP vouchers for £13ish. Wisely picked a young SA who commented politely on my slightly under £9 APG that popped out. I just said, that's what you can get from a well planned shop, and politely smiled back.

I then put through a few whopsied items and a couple of cartons of Tesco Light Cranberry juice. No yellow label, but ex. date april 14. Can't remember if these were 40p or 50p each, but seemed like a bargain. Might be worth looking out for?
APGs popping out of Tesco now:rotfl::rotfl:.0 -
Some of the Lucozade Energy 1L has now gone down to 89p in M. Don't know whether that's made it into the APG yet.0

I've discovered some very good consumer programmes are on BBC ONE at this time of the week. Good from our point of view - first one was on about the distinction between "Flavour" and "Flavoured" on product labelling - can't believe most people don't look at that. But not surprised perhaps - you look at gist and overall impression, I look at detail! Said that people have about one second to look at each product they buy in a supermarket (or course they are making snap decisions in there, not working it out before they go like we are) - the advertisers know all this and know, in short, (IMO) how stupid most consumers are.
Second one looked at stain removers. "Cheap" product came out second in both tests but was only narrowly beaten in both. In other words, IMO, all roughly the same. (Of course the expensive, or more expensive, products may be got cheaper if they ever glitch than the 'cheap' ones - and 'all work the same'.)
For all that differentiation that the advertisers and brands try to create to make us (or rather, most people) buy the brand - paying for the name - the telling comment (to me) was made by the analyst: "Stain removers are very similar, one to another, when we compare chemical compounds", so no surprise (to him) that they all did "fairly well".
They're very similar folks. There you have it - quoted words from an analyst. Very similar. Not different, unlike advertising and marketing is created to suggest.
Do not pay for expensive products. Put everything on same level and pick whatever is the cheapest. Money saving.:money:
I'm sure, in my mind, that this applies to every type of product - unless they really have a unique patent - and every type of service.0 -

Not a glitch or multibuy but if you're doing an AVT and buying beef joint this could be of use to you.

Ooo.. £5.40/kg(:eek:).
Umm, I am being a harsh guy with my prices:rotfl:.
That's it - wombles all checked - I've clogged the thread up (unintentionally) - enjoy your afternoon!:D:) See you later:wave:.0 -
Have biscuits gone off the list now - oh dear that's 6 items now I have to find replacements for
3 for £2 - tasties with choc panthers should still work;
also medleys but only against S or M
ETA (thanks to cjj): Raisin Medley confirmed £1, Double Choc N/A in M today (even though £1 on MSM for me)0 -

1) an industry term for these kind of browers/shoppers is 'morons in a hurry'
2) and washing powders, and washing-up liquid, and surface cleaners, and air fresheners, and soaps, and shampoos, and deodorants, and hairsprays, and beauty products, etc etc. Apart from scent/perfume and colour (which are just 'cosmetic') they are all basically the same.
