    I hope it does then you will know how it feels to wait 3 odd days:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello again:), I've caught up with the thread but now catching up with my replies to some (not all:D:eek:) of the posts 'you've' (global 'you';)) been posting. I'm having to skip over doing the thanks though, so if you've had a post today and I've not thanked it...:rotfl:anyway...

    Oh I've had occasions when I've waited over three weeks before entering APGs, tactically, before.

    If you need car insurance very good cashback on tcb at moment with Aviva £73.50. Got fully com with business insurance for £97. Best price for a few years. Only for 6 days. Glad I didn't buy the other day and pay another £10 more.

    Just got some more nutri bars. Our asda is useless - did not have raisin bars or some of the yogurts. Still I have a waitrose so I can't have it all! Thank you to the op of all the glitches - you are amazing. Results in at 7 p.m. Big article in sunday telegraph saying how unhealthy all these cereal bars - just eat fruit instead!

    Right off to Asda! CHEESE!!!! AND PIES!!!

    A cheese is 2 for £5, others are 2 for £6.

    Grated cheese is a better/cheaper option?

    Evening was a lovely one until I got trouted in A's over a £10 APG:eek:I had not realised it was the last day before it expired so rang DDLala to see if she could take me to our local (Netto) one all I wanted to do was spend it on Diet pepsi times 5.Then it started the CA scrutinising the receipt and saying"how come your APG is for more than you spent"what did you buy talk about interigation:eek:I then got on my bike and said if he looked at it properly he would see the total receipt was for more but because I used an APG it looked like that and then said I have done nothing wrong and will be doing it again:rotfl::rotfl:The fact I am feeling rather tired did not help and DDLala was waiting in the car.

    Good morning:wave:

    First day of the Easter holiday and the monkeys are already winding each other up:(

    Tbw(())thinking of you and your family


    Anyone going to sada today, look out for rtc 7 tin packs of Heinz baked beans £2. Previously on a promotional offer of £3.

    I know savvy mentioned soup the other day, although none in my store.


    Have a lovely day
    Mt2m:)

    It wasn't my nearest store but it was a store I needed to go back to (for a GC off previous night). It's been reported on hotdeals in other areas of the country, so not store-specific as such. I picked up a couple of packs - but, then, later when I was back there again I thought I hadn't got nearly enough:eek::D so I picked up another one! Sometimes in the past I've regretted that I didn't buy nearly enough of something when it was extremely good. I had an APG of just a little over £1.50. So, one more pack of tomato soups and a 20p salad cress, will do nicely!:D

    :think:I'm not sure about the baked beans though.

    I did notice - and had to have a little chuckle at - a weekly offers sheet from Lidl from a week ago - 6 pack of Heinz "Cream of Tomato" (don't they make it sound better?:D:rotfl:) Soup - 4 + 2 'free' - at "Special Offer" - £2.95 - "Hurry While Stocks Last!". Almost needless to say (it can't be actual 'needless' as I'm saying it:D) I did not hurry at all for that one!

    Btw, £2.95 is a way expensive price even for a 6 pack of soup let alone a 4 pack (for which £2.95 would presumably be Lidl's special offer as the 6 have '2 free'). My guide on 4 pack (and therefore 4+ 2 free :D) is £2.00, and then minus 10% off that, but that has been questioned recently when M went to £1.62 for a 4 pack. Plus C&B Tomato Soup 4 packs are occasionally on offer at £1.49:D. £2.95, as a 'special offer':eek: for 6 works out at over 49p each:eek::eek: - even given 'offer' prices of 50p soups (which even they work out way expensive as vs 50p elsewhere and thus 45p beats those), it's expensive IMO (just in my opinion but not in my humble one;), as it's not 'humble', rather I think it's beyond doubt and indisputable by any rational argument:)).

    I was in no hurry for the expensive price of £2.95. Even at £2.00 for four (itself a bit dear now), it means 47.5p each:eek::eek: for the additional two soups. I'd beat that if I waited for a rival of A to have 50p individual cans. So...just out of the question to go for £2.95_pale_.

    £2.95 'special offer' for 6, or £1.50 - the choice is yours!!:D
    I avoid those so-called promotional "offers" like three quid:(:eek::rotfl:.

    (If the £2.95 is a "special offer", or even a "special" offer, or a special "offer", I dread to think what the non-special or non-offer price is - maybe the 'normal', but not "special", offer price would be £3.15 but the non-offer (and non-'special offer') would be at £6:eek:! That said, I'm being technical and literal in my words again and imputing too much into the additional word "special" that is, in truth, meaningless under the normal people's definitions that generally apply in society rather than my unique or "minority"-viewpoint ones:huh:.)
