    Did a BNI shop today only to buy 9 items :wall: rookie mistake!

    Oh no. :(

    Yesterday I got the 3 comparing to Ms curries x2 korma, jalafrezi, tikka masala and 6 different sides so only had to pop one filler in my trolley.

    Tried to post a screen shot of Carex Hand cream 50p in A and £2.50 in S.

    5 of those and you've got your £10 BM

    Thought it was handwash and I know someone who needs this(dil):(

    Thanks anyway

    Ooh, thank you. Now to find some shampoo or something which is a good price or gives a good bm. (I missed the last poo glitch, idiot me.) I always find it hard to shop in S since everything seems so very expensive -- apart from the tea bags and the chilli tomato puree. What does everyone else buy there please?

    Yeah you've hit the nail on the head too, it's much easier to find stuff that's cheaper elsewhere but then they require you to spend £20 (don't worry, I've not missed the point that £10 'worth' of Nectars is getting you a double-up voucher for at least that first £20) but a lot harder to get rid of a BM by actually finding stuff that's worth their price. Same could be said of the others though vs each other.

    As for the tea bags, the size on their Basics ones has just been halved - much more expensive per bag than they were before. I'll have a look for some good BM items later (can't promise to look more at beauty items though - I have way too much stuff in that category already and very limited categories in current double up offer that don't appeal to me so giving it a miss this time in the hope something better will be offered in the not-too-far-off future).

    I have earnt my entry to Heaven today... we thought in for a penny, in for a pound, so as we were having 3 parents for a meal, we (strangely) invited the single (well the ones not invited for meals with family) oldies from the close for Easter dinner.... If I get any bright ideas to repeat this for Christmas .... shoot me!!

    I am exhausted

    Thanks wendy

    I never thought of combining them with anything else:o:o

    Only had a vision of them being too hard or a bit mushy, but seems by comments that they are quite ok:T

    Will be buying them as part of the T's shop now.

    They are a regular filler for me every time I shop now. I no longer buy 10p sweets - false economy - just buy things we will use and the tinned potatoes are actually lovely. We have them with our impromptu roasts usually the day after a proper roast, with the leftovers.

    The till just sees the double up voucher as a coupon but you have to spend the full £20 on beauty, you should still be able to use extra points vouchers.

    :eek::eek:

    And sorry - I'm not into buying 8 or 9 of the same item as got too many already:(.

    Josie....
    I never use my own details when inputting details for APG

    I used my CC to pay for the shopping on the receipt that the SA retained

    You seem to be forgetting that this is The Elite League of Paranoia :rotfl:

    But surely you would call yourself one of the elite WMC?:)

    They signed off with "just joking"

    That either referred to compaining to A or to the whole post.

    Not sure



    Hi,


    That was me. Apologies for any confusion.


    The 'joking' comment was re complaining to A. Definitely wouldn't do that.


    Yes, all subs were shown on APG after HD. I had bought the Nivea's amongst others, against T. They subbed 1 of the 4, showed all 5, and blew any favourable comparison out of the water. Not seen that before, always just based on the original order.


    Hope that's not the way forward!
