A chicken is for life not just Christmas Dinner (An 11+ ELITE Thread)

Savvybuyer

I'm still here:o. I've been collating my various posts into the M list. Just mention Uncle Ben's Rices (250g) at £1.00 in M, but they are 98p in A so doesn't work out favourable enough to me (would only be good if on mbuy that glitched:D:rotfl:).

SP Golden Vegetable Savoury Rice (250g) 25p is going onto... Avs T as T at 25p (M is on the invisible text again on msm and you can read that as 26p there;)).

Natco Fine Semolina (1.5kg) A vs T in 2s.
M's version turns out to be KTC and turns out to be 375g not 500g:(.

Also just beware of this:

Italfresco Ready Made Polenta (500g)

75p at


(15p/100g)

Add to basket

Price Comparison


Tesco 75p
ASDA N/A
Morrisons N/A
Sainsbury's N/A

This is 85p in M, so should go on Tvs A or Tvs S as fillers (or Northern Ireland, any of your PP shops and you can ignore vs M as can't use that!). I suppose Tvs M shoppers could use it to 'claw back' some loss if you are already over the £10 PP cap limit perhaps due to some Finish "Quantum" 30 Lemon Dishwasher tabs. Possibly. If they still work today.


I'm putting M Savers Bombay Mix onto the list now - A equivalent been out of stock for quite a while and felt that will not appear or work. So defaulting to 'buy in M':).

This time... bye-bye!!:wave::wave:

Received another 3 months of JL vouchers, for free coffee and cake this morning :j:j:j:j:j:j

I'd be very grateful if someone could tell me how you get these. :beer:

Haven't got time to read back. FC - I hope you get all the money back. The bank is at fault for allowing so many transactions the same to same company.

I must admit I was a bit peed off with Nationwide when they stopped my card when doing a shop, they phoned me just after I arrived home and wanted ALL my info - there is NO WAY they should ask this when they phone you! I phoned them back on a number that I'd searched for. They didn't see why I had a problem giving them my info. when they called me! REALLY!!!

I'd bought present for granddaughter from Target USA. I'd missed all the info on their system being hacked & someone had tried to make 2 purchases, 1 for a small amount and one for over £2000! on flights :eek: The bank had stopped these as they flagged it. TBH I was miffed (I only had the 1 card on me shopping & not enough cash for whole shop) & then pleased they had done this. I did manage to pay for the staples with cash.

Don't be too hard on hubby, MANY have been caught out & not everyone is as savvy as you. I know I've had a go at hubby in the past & felt awful for doing it afterwards. He just leaves everything to me to sort - computer & finances, as I can be pretty rotten to him if he gets things wrong. Like - who in their right mind uses a credit card to get cash out of a hole in the wall?
Yep - he did when he also had a debit card in his wallet and money in account. He no longer will get cash out as I had a right go at him! He no longer tries to help with DIY around the house either as he reckons I'm a perfectionist and I pick holes when he tries to help. I'm not really BUT he has NO idea on DIY - like when the door sticks, you don't sand away the newly painted door surround you sand off the top of the door!:eek: OMG I've many, many more like that too.

Bubbs - you can use "Trend Micro Housecall" on top of any virus/security software you have. I've found that whatever security system I'm using Housecall always finds something they've missed if your computer starts going slow or you get those damned annoying pop-ups or those annoying adverts everywhere for things you've looked at purchasing. Avast, Kapersky, Defender, AVG etc. will miss something that Housecall finds and removes for you. I try and scan mine once a month with Housecall - I was told about it years ago by someone that dealt with computer problems for a few large companies.

Hello all.

Hope everyone is OK.

No doubt I have missed shed loads of offers and glitches this week. Doh!

I was in Manchest-oh today. There was a promotional team handing out boxes of Coconut Water (the one that Rihanna and other celebrities drink). One of them said they may be there again tomorrow but they were doing a national promotion and they will be going around the UK. I found them outside the Arndale Centre in case anyone is around there tomorrow. Don't go especially in case they are not there.

Got Mom some delish chocolates from both Harvey and Hotel Chocolat, thanks to all that mentioned them. Much appreciated.

Have a fabaroonie evening all.

Dare you to give her a gift wrapped wonky bar first as a joke mimi:rotfl:

I heard details of a fraud on the radio a few months back which left me gobsmacked. I've been trying to locate it on iplayer without success. Basically it's this. You get a call out of the blue from ....let's say for example "Barclays. The caller is well spoken. He confirms that your card appears to be the subject of fraud and some security checks are needed. He reassures you by insisting that you must not reveal to him any if your security details but instead call the number on the back of your bankcard and you will be advised best how to proceed.
The caller does this and a female voice answers " good morning this is Barclays ...for example.... You have reached our fraud prevention team. Somehow, and I don't know how this is done, the line has remained open from the first call and you have just dialled back to the fraudster.
Once again you are advised not to reveal any security details.
You are then told that your account is currently under immediate threat and you are advised to log on and check whether any payments have been taken out of your account. You are then told that you will be given detail of s a high security account to which you must immediately transfer your money. You are given a sort code and account number.

Unfortunately people have done this in their droves. The poor lady being interviewed had paid over thousands, in fact her lifes savings and her bank are unsympathetic as she paid over the money willingly.

We all think we would never be taken in but we all need to remain vigilant
