Good evening one and all!:) Loads of catching up to do and lots to reply to, again, starting here. Sadly those glitches I was looking for didn't materialise - but last time (year(s) ago:D) didn't some of them start two days later and then continue:think: so keep an eye out for anything strange on any wombles - I am sure you will do! The other cheese (Cathedrals) - didn't they glitch when the 2 for £5, as it was back then, was showing throughout, to my surprise? So who knows, may start happening or maybe it is a false alarm again. Grrr:rotfl: - I should have going back and forth and shopping throughout the middle of the night, when the mbuys were off, and they were off for somewhat longer than before the 'big glitch'. Maybe they were off too late - I noticed them after 1am but maybe it needs to be around midnight for the APG to catch them and perhaps they were on then, before I noticed them? Anyway...

You are absolutely right about those "savvy" buys - some of them (in fact sometimes almost all of them:eek:) are ridiculous in the sense of way too expensive. Savvy buy indeed:(. The Shloers - I wanted them to stay at 2 for £3 and not see them at "savvy buy" £1.10:(:mad:. As for that being a "savvy buy" - and do I wrongly equate 'savvy' with meaning always the lowest price and anything above isn't 'savvy' or does it really mean having the 'information' and 'knowledge' behind things to know when to go for them and not? (in which case, surely no-one rational would go for them when they are more expensive than the low? Or maybe I miss the point) - the Shloers have previously been 89p in M and hopefully meaning about 80p via the APG - so, for something 30p more than that:eek: to qualify as being "savvy"? No it ain't!:rotfl:

And they're talking about buying them at the straight £1.10 price (like I did:rotfl:) and not comparing them at all:eek: to get anything cheaper. At least in a sense I didn't lose further on the failures to glitch, as even without the glitch they were still all not 10% cheaper. I wouldn't have been too happy if I had ended up with a £1.10 vs say a £1.50 each elsewhere (which may have been good if the payments of £1.10 had shown at something higher than £1.50 and then compared to £1.50). I ended up with the Shloers at about £1 each:eek: and having to have bought two of them. What is gained one way seems to be given back another, and I end up with straight 10% rather than glitch prices across the board. I'm aiming for the latter:D.

Oh well.

Some of the 'savvy buys' though.... For example in Mr A, Crisp n Dry Veg Oil at £2 is now marked as a 'savvy buy' when it has just come off 2 for £3 so has actually just increased in price!! I've seen £8 washing powder in S that was priced (mispriced?:D) at £4 on msm and fortunately in S too (when I stocked up on it spending a BM to buy it!), the £4 was marked as a savvy buy and yet it continued to be marked as a savvy buy even when it went to £8 (probably the price they intended)! But I don't see a £4 price increase as a savvy buy!:rotfl: Even with it priced at £14:eek::eek: elsewhere!

Some of the "top" offers as well - just ridiculous! In Waitrose on msm at the moment, apparently 27 Penguin is a "top offer" at £4.29:eek::eek::eek: as it has 5% cashback off! This product has gone down to £2 offer in Mr T not so long ago. They seem to mark items now as "top offers" simply when they have 5% msl on them, doubtless funded by the manufacturers who see traffic to msm as another way of selling their products - and it is, it is all a form of promotion. You need to take up the promotions that leave them out of pocket though!:D Be selective. Anyone - so, do you want 5% off £4.29 - is that a 'top offer'? Or would you rather buy the product straight at £2 and with no 5% back? Seems obvious to me which I'd go for!!:D:rotfl::rotfl:

[Edit: in fact the Penguin 27 is now back at £2.14 in T. Could be a good filler for a Tvs A shop for example, and esp. if helping reach cond. spend. Sains. stopped stocking them, only after I'd BM'd them to T several times before that:rotfl:. Yet it is a "top offer" in Waities at £4.29?:huh:] In fact you could still have the 5% on the purchase in T - but obviously not as much 5% on £2.14 as it would have been on £4.29:eek: that sees you far worse off overall.

This calculation, to me, is savvy buying!!:j:j And it therefore can also have that big letter S as well:D.

Heat for the effort....

...oh wait.

Couldn't find any DTD pork or lamb in T this morning but plenty of silverside beef. SheTrout tried to tell me it was because it was old stock and new shelf labels and said she would let me have it for half price. I stood my ground and she went off to make a phone call, then gave DTD through gritted teeth. Then she remarked "Didn't you have a problem with meat prices last week too?" :eek:
I did, but a different CS dealt with it, so have concluded that I must look like MKS

:rotfl::rotfl::D

I'd have a 'problem' every week they had incorrect SELs:rotfl::rotfl:

One thing though - can you help me? When you say (presumably as, for severe want of a better word, an "ordinary" person - how dare you call me merely "ordinary" Savvy?!?:rotfl:) through "gritted teeth" do you mean you actually see real gritted teeth or is that just a turn of phrase? Thanks!

(I tend not to look at them at all:wall::wall::o:o:o:rotfl:.)

CHEAP NEWBORN NAPPIES
Hello again. for anyone needing newborn nappies, I've stumbled across an amazing price. It's not a glitch, it's that price instore. W own brand, a pack of newborn nappies (with 27 in) are £1.26. That's under 5p per nappy (4.66p recurring to be exact ) which is a super dooper bargain. From 5 - 11lb
http://www.waitrose.com/shop/HeaderSearchCmd?searchTerm=waitrose+newborn+nappies&defaultSearch=GR&search=

Thanks tiger :T I don't need newborn (Granddaughter is 4 weeks and already 10lb) but without your post I wouldn't have thought of W's for nappies.



Size 2 (6-13lb), compare £3.97 v £1.90, works out at £1.71 for 42 nappies (just over 4p each).

I still can't log in. I notice an absence of any links to their site in the emails, do we think that is ok?

Notice the OP has been moved to discount codes and someone has mentioned no padlock on payment page. I did see one but not the usual one I see. Have had a payment confirmation from WorldPay. Not heard of them before.

There is a link on the order confirmation.

I have heard of WorldPay, fairly sure I have used them before.

As for payment, well, the item I was after was only £6 so used the voucher to pay for the delivery as well
