    Loads of stuff compared to W on 3 for 2. But ANY 3 for 2 so we were buying small pots of rice pudding and getting cereal, cleaning products, haircare and everything was 32p! It was crazy!!

    Crucially, it wasn't cheapest item free.

    All the items were being charged 2/3rds the value of the cheapest item

    Sadly mine does not take them!

    :o:o:o:o

    Booo, how did you find that out? I was assuming I could with mine as when you use the online pay facility, it lets you enter an amount when you pay, and says it takes visa, but I don't know for sure.

    I guess I'll find out tomorrow, surely it makes no difference to them for you to pay this way?

    Sounds amazing!

    And hair care, shampoos, styling, dyes etc were 342 at Ts so if you bought a SP hair gel and 2 more expensive things it matched to some ridiculous price of about 10p each.

    I remember everyone trying to work out what was going on from some weird womble results. I can remember having a guess myself and I know aau was trying to work it out. It was something to do with the cheapeast item being picked up and divided by 3 I think. It was amazing. :D

    As has been said, keep an eye on your mum and get her checked for a UTI they can be really debilitating both mentally and physically x

    My mum had one just before christmas and was really wobbly and fell over(a regular occurrence she falls about 8 times a year) I had only just managed to get her a bit mobile again (she refused to try to stand up for about a week and was about three weeks before she would try the stairs so we had to have carers come in to help wash her and change her etc) when she had a stroke which has left her even less mobile and with short term memory problems and unfortunately has had to go into a care home near where we live as she now needs 24 hour care:(

    It is so hard when mobility and the mind goes on a loved one but I know mum is in the place she needs to be for the care she needs:(

    Just back in to see your post QRB. Thanks. One day i'll bump into you again hopefully. I'm in A's so often.
    Mum has been riddled with UTI's over the last 3 years, but it doesn't seem to be the same pains, she did have doc in yesterday, who gave her the diazipam to relax the muscles that seem to be in spasm, hopefully just short term. She's usually ok in her mind, apart from since she had a stroke, it's strange, but with animals a male is always she, and a female he. Doesn't matter how many times we say, so it's become a bit of a joke now. But today she's been telling us about the person she spoke to on a bus journey yesterday and what they told her, which was actually something my sister had told her. :o She's not been on a bus in about 3 years! All we worry about is Dad managing during the times we are not there at the moment, as mum is usually ok with a stick and either furniture or an arm to hang on, but she just can't move herself at all. But it's just not possible to stay overnight. I'm out at 8am in the morning from here, then can get to Mums for about 11.30, hopefully my sis can get over a bit earlier.

    Oh, one more thing...... if your a Man U fan, watch out tomorrow, we're coming to get you. :D:):D:):D:):D:):D

    Probably cheaper than the wastage if he opens one like that again. :rotfl:

    Some nonsense like that.

    All I know is that every cupboard in my house was filled with cereal and I have not long run out of the shampoo I got from that. And a large stash of toothpaste too.

    Did dog food glitch too? I have pets (answer to h & s or dd1 and dd2) but they won't eat dog food!

    If I tried to open one myself I'm not sure there would have been any left in the bottle. I would never keep the cork from popping. :o :rotfl:
