    My dear old Mum (who had no bottom teeth) used to 'gum' the chocolate off chocolate brazils at Christmas. It was always good for a laugh when any unsuspecting visitor nibbled a plain nut out of the bowl! You can guess what she used to do.

    Was starting to think Mr T's had forgot about me, finally just getting The Orchard steak vouchers. Leads me to another questions, is it safe for my OH to eat steak? She's 24wks with her first baby, I've read a ton of things saying yes, no & only if but wouldn't mind some personal advice if anybody has some?

    When I was expecting I always thought it was fine to eat steak as long as it was well cooked, ie not rare or medium. Mustn't have pink juices coming out of it, iyswim.

    :doh:Another prompt for myself - many thanks!:T I did see that in M but forgot to mention it! Although not as good as the 90p per can, or possibly even cheaper, that people got during the now legendary 3 for 2 glitch of several years ago. I think that's why I tend to forget these products now, and the several pounds prices on them as none of them ever come close to matching that!:rotfl:

    (Cut down for clarity.)

    Many thanks for this! It's helped me on my own shop:T:T. Folks I have been lurking on here during the day and saw the Paxo Stuffing vs T at 25p (and also vs W at the same price - now, why did I not know about that yesterday when I did my vs W shopping?:think:). That's an excellent find - works out better than SP Stuffing:T:T:T!

    I now see T at N/A on msm both when signed in and out. Bloomin' msm failing to mark this out and mark it as the Savvy Buy that it absolutely is! I suspect this 25p must have been a price on t.com at some stage - it seems very cheap though, especially for Paxo, wonder why? - and it seems W have price-matched it under their "T price match" thing. Which is good news:j, for non-N.I. comparers as can shop in A and use the Paxo Stuffing together with the two specific different Shape yogs, hopefully, vs W. There's 3 out of the 8 anyroad!:D

    During my lurkdom earlier today, I noticed there may have been something I'd missed on Dettol multi-surface-type cleaners. However, I saw 91 on msm and 91 on a.com (signed in) in the 2 for £2 cleaning:(. I also noticed the Flash Gels - 400ml ones - but found they were, sadly, instore at £1.50 and 2 for £2 on the lemon one and the others expensive priced and no mbuy. So didn't seem any anomaly to take full and complete advantage of, so I didn't bother with any £3 extra spending on my shopping (was hoping the non-Lemon might be 2 for £3 instore, but sadly not). Instead - all's well:

    Comparison total£6.06£4.90

    20p back on TCB Snap & Save on the Stork. I decided I did like the Waffles enough after all, on these prices, to buy one pack on this occasion. I think you can maximise this out by buying (just) 2x Waffles then compares 85px2 vs instead of 85p+75p. Although, as that would be just one item, not two different, may then find yourself spending a little more on a further item to get the 8 if you're only at 7 due to the KM being Waffles x2. Sounds a bit like me:rotfl: - waffles!:D:rotfl::rotfl: Rather than them being one each of two different KMs.

    I avoided the 600ml £1.35 A's Fresh Cream that I saw in store, with a big r'back flying-type thing protruding from the shelf, I noticed that the on-shelf price per unit for that was slightly less than the price per unit on the 300ml Cream but as T were still cheaper by a penny on 300ml and then 10% off that worked out with the 300ml Cream being cheaper!!:rotfl: So no amount of pointing out to me and prominence trying to get me to take the 600ml Cream would work!:D:D:rotfl::T (I'm a very savvy person there you see!:rotfl::rotfl::D)

    And, for info. GB shoppers - the Stork 1kg does pick up Morries £2 price on the APG, so all's well as of current price collection (which I assume is the Wednesday one, now lasts till the results of the next one next Tuesday (day after bank hol.) are updated to the system).
