    Thanks for this. Will check it out on Thursday.

    My guide prices...

    10p a wash but not fussy on what we use
    25p a toilet roll
    £1 for a bottle of Pepsi max
    £1 for toothpaste (branded)
    20p or less for lunchbox items (they are currently still having nutri grain bars)
    20p a bag of crisps
    £1 for spray cleaner
    £1 for butter
    £1 for a jar of sauce
    50p per kitchen roll


    Although reading you guys, I think I should lower my prices!

    Oh. I've not lost vs T after all. Pork Chops comparing to old price on APG, and also picked up £1.90 2 for '1' on Bertolli and Bertolli Light - I know that's very expensive but needing more items and having to make APG worthwhile. I think will not work now, as prices have changed on msm:mad:. (Not their fault, but - altogether now:D - I hate you, T!!:rotfl::rotfl:)

    It seems I got in an hour before the prices changed on msm, only just made it.

    :eek:Will have to go careful on APG as a bit bigger than what I expected - even if still well below £10, it's a bit too much for my stringent stores compared to original spend.

    Although - I'm not sure why I didn't expect it with my ultra-rational approach and surely I ought to have realised and, therefore, expected it?:think::rotfl:
