    Some people have more money than sense... or else they must be in a daze when they do their shopping (a bit like me at times:D, though I don't shop this bad and I suspect I could do a successful APG shop in my sleep:rotfl:).

    :rotfl: I could almost go and kiss this product next time I'm in store. And with other 250ml Lynxs around as well, at £1. They bought the most expensive individual price Lynx 250ml within the 3 for £6:eek: 'offer':T and that was all they bought in the offer. I wouldn't even pay half their £3.19 for a 400ml bottle let alone a 250ml one.

    Lynx Shower Gel - Peace (250ml)


    £3.19 atStore_2.15px.png
    any 3 for £6.00

    (£1.28/80p/100ml)

    Add to basket

    Price Comparison


    Store_3.15px.png [Strike]£2.00[/Strike] £1.25
    Store_1.15px.png £2.40 any 2 for £3.00
    Store_2.15px.png £3.19:eek: any 3 for £6.00
    Store_8.15px.png £2.37
    Store_4.15px.png £2.40
    Store_7.15px.png N/A
    Store_16.15px.png N/A
    Store_12.15px.png N/A
    Store_5.15px.png N/A

    They also bought 'an item that features on my Avs S lists which is significantly cheaper in S':D - I do like it when they buy that on the right shop! Pretty expensive way of owning Lynx Peace though, as anyone on here will know!:rotfl::T:T:T:j:j:rotfl::rotfl:

    :eek::eek: Those 'normal' prices of £2.37 / £2.40.

    I think that'll well do for me tonight - I think I've made up that Honey Nut Shredded Wheat loss now:rotfl::rotfl:.

    See you again soon!!:wave::wave:

    :T:T:T:T well done, Mr TS cant complain then;)

    I had all the shopping packed away before he got in. ;)

    He won't be happy with the Dolmios, he prefers to make his own sauce but I am lazy so and so. Have hidden them back of cupboard. :o

    I am in trouble though bubbs, they had loads of extra special mash and carrot/pumpkin mash 20p each. 3 tubs in bottom of fridge and I have been told off as we still have loads of home grown spuds/pumpkins to use from last year's harvest. :o:o:o

    As today is a fast day lunch was a blueberry one of those, thought it said Nov 2013 but I could be wrong I didn't have my glasses on and it did taste a bit past it. :rotfl:

    Have we got the same OH? :eek: I'm not allowed to buy dolmio either. All our sauce comes from our own tomatoes. He doesn't like me buying ready meals either. Although to be fair, I can eat them but not often. I am spoiled getting stuff cooked from scratch most nights of the week :o:D
    I often think I'd actually have learned to cook if I didn't have someone else doing it for me :o

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Xmas Saver!
    I went out to Toscos today to buy mince and bread, nothing else just these and ended up spending almost £50 :eek:
    I needed to refill my prezzie box because I have a few birthdays coming up and the only things I had were items I'd given them before so needed new stock. I also needed stuff for lunches next week and 2 days of the following week because DS is on half days Monday to Wednesday and the school off Thursday, Friday and Monday, Tuesday of the following week. I bought more toys than food :rotfl: everything was discounted.
    The toys included a silverlit RC Ferrari that uses the iPad/iPod/iPhone to control it reduced to £10. http://www.tesco.com/direct/silverlit-enzo-ferrari-bluetooth-remote-control-red/642-1540.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=642-1540. DS will be pleased with this for Xmas.
    SPC #329 £471/£500 banked
    SPC 2014 £1100:D
