1. Visited A. Mr TM has decided that the Nutrigrains will be good for his bike ride snacks. 30 g of carbs in one.(His body's a temple:rotfl:)
Planned a little shop.

1 x ASDA Smartprice Mixed Fruit (500g) £0.95 £0.95
1 x ASDA Cucumber Portion £0.40 £0.25
1 x McVitie's Snickers Flapjacks (5) £1.00 £1.30
1 x McCoy's Ridge Cut Crisps - Flame Grilled Steak (6x... £1.00 £1.00
2 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bakes Choc Chip (6... £4.76 £2.48
4 x Kellogg's Nutri-Grain Breakfast Bakes Raisin (6x45... £9.92 £4.96
1 x ASDA Little Angels Cotton Wool Buds (200) £0.35 £1.00

Pleased I noticed Sals comments re the Jaffa cakes....not to buy them v M. BUT checked the flapjacks and the cotton wool buds before I left home and both compared well with M. It was better when we were using Savvy instead of MSM.:o
Used wombles and a giftcards to pay for this and got £7.68 back.

2. It was still cold and drizzly so onto S.tried aau's trick iof filling up in the hope of getting a wys but no luck. However I did make sure that I rounded up to the litre and it to the pound to get my extra 10p off.....coupon from last week.

Went into S. Bought JD, icing sugar, piccalilli and contact lens solution and weetabix. Used £6 off wys £30 and £3 BM. So got all of that for £21
The JD alone is £27 in A and is to give as a gift so happy with that

3. Popped in M& S to check the offers and saw the biggest rotisserie chicken ever at £8.09:T. Bemused watching people picking up the £6 ones without even checking the weight. So decided to get the meal desk for £10 and 2 pasta fishes for £5. Came to £27ish before discounts. Used a GR and one of the fivers I get sent from time to time for saving M& S points. Paid exactly a fiver:T

As I arrived home the sun came out:j:j

Looks like my shopper bought in the wrong week - again!:( Most of those Yazoo milkshakes not helping the matter. (The matter of an APG voucher being available of course;).)

I do like people buying King Edward Potatoes and paying £2 for them though! Were £1.12 vs T a short while ago (T now showing £2.25). Now we have people buying them and paying £2:rotfl: - I had another one yesterday who also bought a pack at this price!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::(

Evening all, been MIA for too long. RL getting in the way.

Tried the mullets this afternoon and the M multibuy not showing up

Where the devil have you been?:D

TrulyMadly

Just to add .....my T shop....the till accepted all the odds and ends Finest ones against the meal deal...eg 70p off a Finest a Pie worked on the Filo parcels, the Finest cheese worked and a Finest side worked too bringing the £10 meal deal down to £7.60.

Also....before anyone mentions ....the Felix IS cheaper in A but I was happy to lose 88p on the PP.

I noticed [a number of things from the Sunday Mirror article but I'll pick one of them out] "Tesco said: “New lower prices on everyday products will permanently be held down.”"

What, really permanent?

So, if the prices ever go up at any point at all at any time before the world ends...

Surely an inevitable lie at some future point, however long off, in the finality?

Permanent
Definition
adjective 1. existing perpetually; everlasting, especially without significant change
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Permanently

Right...bookmark it folks, if those products should ever increase at any time in the future at all, you know when to get your complaint in!:rotfl:
(I'm assuming, of course, that the journalist or copy editor at the Sunday Mirror did ensure a completely accurate quotation in every way:rotfl::rotfl:.)

Permanent in their world is the same as Lifetime Loyalty Discount for Virgin Media or Unlimited for any of the telecoms or broadband companies.

It means until they change their mind/approach or think we have forgotten.

I really must visit Westfield Stratford. Is it far from the station as can get a direct fast train from here.

Not far from underground or overground VT

Especially the underground, it's right outside it. Minutes, tops.

Just seen PD has already answered! Double trouble
