Exit Left In The Event (of a glitch)

I am so impressed at all the people going away on their own.

If I have not touched another human being for 24 hours, I start stroking… I probably would be arrested for s*xual assault x

My local Mr T had loads of garden bits reduced in price including these la-hacienda-ceramic-gel-burners for £3.75:

Dunno how much the gel will cost though as I couldn't find any in T's? :eek:

How very dare they put the price down on the 140g:( Jammie Dodgers (although making no effect on the effective price on our own shopping under the APG). Tuc Snack Crackers were 50p in M, but as usual they buy at the wrong time! :rotfl:They paid full price 96p on the Kipling cakes now instead of previous 3 for £2, another point that works into my point on how people shop - in fact I'll make it now: just shows how this £5 fruit/veg. thing is, on the whole, profitable for M - once people are in the store, they generally (that is, excluding us) do buy other things. When I was in M yesterday, doing the price collection, a very example in front of my eyes (and ears:D)!

Young lady shopping with her mum. Mum wanted some soft drinks bottles - young lady said, quite normally, to her mum "They are 3 for £5". "Yes, that's right" replied mum and they promptly got three different bottles of pop. They happened to be in M, and they still paid whatever M's price is on the pop regardless seemingly of that price.

Works out at £1.66/£1.67 each bottle!:eek::eek: And being made to buy three in order to get that price. :rotfl:I'd expect at least half that price before I'd even consider them, and even that would be quite high for me. Then again, I've said this before - we're on a different world! I know I'm on a different world - http://www.wrongplanet.net/ - in fact I've known ever since my (fairly recent) diagnosis that I'm on another world to the vast majority of people. So much better place to be as well! I just would never want to be on the bizarre world that most people seem to be on, such a worse place, of overpaying at every step. I've known for a while longer that I'm a bit eccentric - often deliberately so and of my own active choice, as I think it's quite a good thing to be a bit eccentric. (Given the warped and strange way of behaviour of most people.) I'm a bit odd. A bit?, I've had other people sometimes say to me (not everyone). In some people's views, I'm a lot odd but I never understand why they think that way.

So, there we have people buying 3, because it's on the 3 for £5 offer. They just get whatever the current pricing state is, regardless of whether it is a rip-off or good or not. Same here - I suspect they'd have got 3 for £2 if they'd bought yesterday, but today 96p each and... they still buy them!:wall: And that was what I wanted to say about mbuys btw.

Sadly the Kipling cakes have not risen nearly enough in price for my liking after the offer has gone. They don't appear to be comparable in 3s now vs either T or S, since both of those have mixed price 3 for 2s on, so they're "too difficult" for msm to compare against. Still not 10% cheaper than Morries on certain ones, such as the Almond and Country Slices, neither of which they bought here. Not worth it. Probably buy on 3 for 2 in S or T, at a push:rotfl::rotfl:.

Here you go, Arth - RL can wait when an Elite-er is in need.:) (Sorry to hear about your job-hunting woes, btw:() Recipe links, with my notes:

http://www.saga.co.uk/lifestyle/food/sundries/gardeners-windfall-chutney.aspx
- got a big tick in my recipe folder, was my favourite of the ones I tried
- makes 6 large jars
- 1.5kg apples is prepared/peeled/cored weight
- I didn't have ginger so used cinnamon instead
- I made the Feisty variety, using chilli flakes and a little cayenne pepper (the cayenne pepper gives a 'creeps-up-behind-you-and says-boo!' kind of heat)

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2646/classic-apple-chutney
- didn't try this one
- note follow-up comments about ingredient quantities and cooking time

http://pagan-wanderings.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/slow-cooker-chutney.html
- brown sugar gives it a very dark colour
- OK but not great
- easy to make

(There was a really good recipe by Aly Hodge but the website page has since disappeared; I will try and scan my printout and post it.)

Still catching up with the evening shift but saw this and just wanted to say a big thank you, much appreciated! Off up the wooden hill now to get some rest before a long weekend of relaxing in a fancy roll top bath

I can relate. My sister moves to Bristol with a friend in a month for uni, and is moaning at how they'll have to live on value tinned food and have no heating on because they'll only have student loans. I have just about convinced her to use the £15 off £60 offers at sainsbury when they first move in to buy staples and bulk buy stuff like pasta, but after that I'd get more response from a rock :mad:. I got told today that I'd bought to much fruit, despite the fact I'm going to be baking pies, crumbles, cakes ect with most of it, and then got robbed of a pack of strawberries anyway :eek:.

Bristol? Give them some APGs and send the to Ts
