    He does have a point dip. I realised this a while back.....although I'm far from cured :o I don't chase 1p items because quite honestly it's a waste of 1p for me. They won't get eaten. Ive long since stopped wasting petrol on things I usually won't get.
    £1 clothes is a different matter though :D you can never have enough cheap clothes
    It is an addiction and not necessarily a bad one if you can use it to your advantage. I think it's just a matter of finding a balance? Mine is found for me because I'm restricted as to how much I can get out shopping

    How about 4p coats :D ( excuse the crap photo)

    I always get a talking too at least once a week. :o

    Tonight's was because I had walked to Ts and got half way home with 3 bags of whoopsies that were too heavy and had to get Mr TS out on his bike to rescue me. :rotfl:

    My arms still feel twice as long. :eek:

    Funnily Mr TS never mentions the boxes of wine or beer that appear. ;)

    I am feeling kind of bad so I may be good for a few days :D
    Oh when there was a beer or wine glitch on he didn't mutter a word, he only said something because I commented on the couple of glitchy h&m orders I got in last night. He wasn't having a go, I think he's just worried I'm spending money on things because they're glitchy.
    He does have a point though, I probably should stop ordering DD stuff from there, as she isn't the only child in the house that needs new clothes :o
    Can I have a glitch on teenage boys clothes please :D

    Welcome back!:) Shopping from about 8.15 on 31/3 evening:

    I suddenly switched to Chocolate Swiss Roll this time rather than Raspberry:rotfl::rotfl:*.

    * The 'joke' being, of course, that Chocolate compares vs T, S and M but Raspberry compares only vs M.


    Just my luck on things - whilst I was overcharged on the crisps and got £2 GC, I also picked up the Wholemeal Bread (should have got whoopsie instead, yes, but ignore that;)) as I wanted to test whether it would compare vs T (T Eday Wholemeal 45p for T last time I looked, and this shop prepared at short notice, in fact sort of made up on the spot in the store:D:rotfl: Just my usual random T-comparable items:D:rotfl:). SP W/meal not available in my nearest store, so maybe it was a local thing and might compare elsewhere? So, whilst in the new store, I picked up a SP Wml. SEL said 47p, discouraging me from buying it last time I was there, but my luck again I notice it actually went through the till at 45p. It doesn't compare vs T sadly (instead just equals the Value/Eday Essentials/Simply Wholemeal prices of elsewhere) but it is appearing on the comp. mis-named as "Brown".

    Umm...last time I bought the SP Brown (rather than SP Wholemeal) in store it was on that exact 8 item shop that returned not enough items. Only lost about 60p though on that shop as it was just an essentials shop and the difference wasn't huge on anything. So - SP Brown Bread is a no-show and doesn't count but SP Wholemeal returns as Brown but doesn't compare. Hence why it might look like I went a bit overboard - but I didn't want to mess this shop up! An 'okay' filler (the Wholemeal version) if we are ignoring the fact whoopsies are cheaper and if we don't have any available freezer space for several days:eek:.

    The loose carrots though -

    Some good new offers vs Morries - if you pick the savvy buys for M on msm and buy those in A (or T), you can't go far wrong!! Assuming the prices are picked up on the guarantees. Many that are now back at prices they were at before, when they've appeared on my old lists - obviously a different rotation available now! Felt like doing the old Morries collection adding them onto the saved lists that I maintain. The 4 pack Heinz tomato soup, £2 for M, I wouldn't go for anymore as previously been £1.69 for M (that was their last offer price, so £2 is a price increase on that - funny how they always have a far higher price that applied immediately prior and not the price increase from the price before that:rotfl:). Apart from that, if all's well, there's not much to go wrong on if you just pick the M savvy buys (enough number of them of course!) in Mr A (and are not in Northern Ireland).

    Caveat - I suspect may need to wait until at least this afternoon before trying, as APG probably still on last week's prices. I'd wait till Wednesday though to be a little more certain (or, rather, as certain as it gets vs M:rotfl:).
