    Fixed!!:(:p Due to the shopper buying cheaper items on their shopping. I like it when they buy expensive items instead:(.

    How could they buy the wrong flu capsules?!?:huh: And those trimmed sprouts are annoying - wonder if they would work the other way? But 99p for just 250g is a rip-off IMO. Wouldn't pay half of that for three times as much!:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    The Fusion Blades are a nonsense purchase too! Broccoli back vs T as T's shenigans on Sunday - increasing it online to full price in order it seems to roll-over the offer, rather than actually put it on offer for the first time from last Monday. I've been keeping that off vs T in case APG was delayed or got confused in all this up and down.

    Look at the Ready to Serve Custard!! Showing vs 16p for T (due to weight difference). I'll take that off my M list if it's on there, as comparing vs M (correctly) at 17p!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    As we all know, it's only the Raspberry one that M doesn't have!! (According to the stock in my M store:o. Anyone finding Raspberry in M please let me know, so I can correct my deficiency.) No weight issue - these are 2x85g on APG and clearly say 2x85g on the packets in M. Although one of the SELs (but not the big offer label nearby covering all their range) does say something like 2x120g - look at how much they have lost if that's so!:(

    This though they have comparing vs M and knocking 10% off (if bought in proper basket/trolley):

    A good tip for finding some really cheap / free bargains is look for reduced sel's in your store u can CC from or HD from check msm to see if anyone has them on deal . and buy online as only full .com price is seen.
    I normally end up with at least couple items a week that are free this way but they tend to be store pacific with reduced sel .
    would that theory work with these?

    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    Thanks for the info on the first page about CEO's email address etc. :beer:
    A few weeks ago I had an issue with my T's mobile phone (long story, but basically I sent it off for repair under the 2 year guarantee using their packaging, screen was cracked in transit and it was their word against mine whether the screen was already damaged when I sent it off).
    Anyway, repair centre turned me down as I had no proof that screen wasn't already cracked, so I emailed Philip Clarke thanks to the info on this thread. Result is that they have given me a choice of phones, all slightly higher spec than the damaged S3.
    A massive thanks, as I wouldn't have escalated the complaint if it wasn't for the info on here :A:A (the fact that I have bought another phone while waiting is another matter, but at least DS2 is happy as he now has the 'new' phone :T:T)

    I see more than 2 Kingsmill yet it still glitched? Fantastic (though the waffles are not the largest!).

    Many thanks

    But they are the priciest, which gives more APG:j (last time I looked at them they were anyway:o).
