  • :rotfl:watch out Dragons Den:) my DD came home yesterday with "an idea"... She was going to write stories and sell them but decided it would take too long so her new idea was 10p for a 1 minute neck massage... She's already conned Daddy into paying 20p to reserve his time slot for this evening...
    Haha that's a belter, booking in advance. She'll need a receptionist soon, so to pay her receptionist she'll have to up her prices :rotfl:
    If only batman was here, he'd soon get you told

    Is there actually anything good vs Sainsbobs other than the 200g Radish?:think: There's only so many times you can own rubber gloves.

    My shop earlier today; did quite well - got back more than I thought, but that's more because msm distorting the basket on the site as putting much more expensive items for W into it when W not available.

    The Micro Chips - not seen £1 prices on those for some time (think they're long gone), so I decided to go for 2 for £3 (but had to confine myself to the Straight Cut version as done a Waities comp., unlike vs S where could have had Crinkle Cut and thus additional different item). Cue somewhere to go onto £1 price now:(.

    A carrot was bought on an APG comp. Paxo Stuffing also just about working vs both W and T. Bought the cakes - perhaps should have waited as both vs £1 for Sains., but not aware of issue with the cakes offer ending until I was already in store and wouldn't have had enough items for this shop otherwise.

    I bought a silly purchase of a Muller yogurt pack though (Kids Footballs version here) - and thus put most of the APG back with them:(. Oh well, it was sort of a muggle-type thing and paid for with APGs and glitches from APGs blah-blah... (That's no excuse though as still means the APG money isn't being spent in the most efficient way.)

    Except I'm happy with everything on there - except the carrot and onion that are 'way' cheaper now for W but don't really show much of that due to the low quantities bought:rotfl:.

    [1] No. (Although depends what you think is 'good' - they are £1.45 for Sains. now. Not good enough for me as I only go for them when £1.00 pricing to compare to.)

    [2] Probably - although I don't use it.

    This though:eek::eek::

    Obviously Sains. quality again.
    Rip-off merchants:p. (In my opinion.)

    Of course they don't have to match the prices of any of these items.

    Yeah that's just about my price to compare to - perhaps a little on the high side(:rotfl:). Also having to buy at least 2 (or 4, 6, 8, 10). I bet these aren't on 2 for £3 mbuy instore, shame!
