    Everything cheaper in T:D.

    I bought another Walkers 14 Classic as realised the two I've got before, as only 14 pack, meant 28 in total, rather than the 25/24/reducing size:(:( 22:( that I was getting two multipack of before. Walkers 14 Classic still working this afternoon - works out at £1.80 for 28 - gosh that's quite expensive.

    Not v. happy about the Blackberries going down in price to £2.50:(. It used to be possible, in theory, to get change from an APG voucher at CS if not spending the voucher amount under a previous version of the T&Cs. Current T&Cs contain no mention and making it simpler in any event than having to mess around with CSs.

    Bought 24 dippers - be careful they are crispy and not breaded - as didn't want to risk 42 vs M at £3.00 coming back N/A. (That's not that that does come back N/A btw;), it's that I don't want to risk that situation - therefore, by definition, I have no idea whether it works or whether it does not.)

    Bought one pack of Red Potatoes again as T's offer ending in a couple of days (so I am taking it as ending today as I've been caught out before by prices changing on APG early). Originally was to have got 2 packs but bought one on 'special' vs T shop yesterday due to crisps coming on.

    The Peaches at A compared £1.00 vs 69p M some days ago (may or may not still work, what is the use Savvy?;) Only just getting round to this). They are in the 3 for £1.50. The ones in M are 'not what they used to be' (meaning they are quite lower weight than what they were before). Not sure what weight/size the ones in A are - and who knows - maybe 3 for £1.50 with 400g Plums and Salad Tomatoes/2 pack Gem Lettuce. We can live in hope...

    But really just wanting to know what size the A peaches are - and may go three packs of them vs M at 3 for £1.50.

    My lack of sureness over the size of the A peaches has been keeping them off the M list. Certainly would not buy them if they are as small as M's packs rather than 'proper-size' punnets.

    Good evening team.

    According to 10ways the T clothing vouchers are still working until Monday. Those of you that had more than one, could they be used on the same account or did you set up multiple accounts? Time is now short with delivery only available on Monday and I have just found "a few" instore so working out my next move :).

    Many thanks

    Here's a drawing that a young lad did of me a couple of days ago - the resemblance is uncanny;)
    He also wrote on the back "I like peacocks" (spelled 'peecocks'). When I asked him why he wrote that, he replied (in a tone of 'that's a silly question'), "Because I like peacocks":rotfl:

    So - exactly the type of pattern I mentioned yesterday then:(. Reduce 25 (which went on offer at best at £2) down to 24 then 22, then 20, then introduce 26 at far more expensive price than the 25 were originally. Maybe even with a weight reduction on individual packs making the 26 pack of new the same amount as 25 packs, at £2, were before.

    (I've no idea if Walkers has followed Hula Hoops, and McCoys:p:p, in reducing the individual pack sizes - but you get the idea of how it is going...);)

    12 pack - shortchanging by 2 compared to 14 - an absolute rip-off at £3.29 IMO. Even assuming the individual packs have themselves not also been downsized:(.

    (:eek:How did I manage to get two posts in a row, above, despite there being 14 minutes between them?)
