    Oh dear:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, I'm sorry, it shouldn't be hilarious now when I'm losing money, but it is!

    My target, Morries, turned out to be the most expensive store:(. My comparison vs the 4 for £2 mix at match at Morries on the milk, the Andrex and the Batchelor's pasta didn't work:(:(.

    But - I could have 37p vs Waitrose though:rotfl::rotfl::(:(:(.:rotfl:

    Why £0.37?

    Thanks to whoever suggested declining toilet rolls on C&C. I said that I was trouble with the wife for buying very expensive toilet rolls !! She laughed and said 'we can't have that!'.


    I took the chicken on the chin. Very expensive, but we'll enjoy them!

    Sadly another muggle-like shop, so bad it flipped to vs T. Am I really wanting 57p?

    Vs T

    [...]
    1 x Batchelors Pasta 'n' Sauce Macaroni Cheese (108g)£0.50£0.81
    1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar£0.10N/A
    1 x Haribo Starmix£0.10£0.10
    1 x Haribo Tangfastics£0.10£0.10
    2 x Andrex Classic White Toilet Tissue Rolls - 240 She...£3.94£3.50
    1 x Wall's Mini Twister Ice Lollies (8x50ml)£1.75£2.00

    M result is as is now expected...no surprises on it.

    And final shop - also missed its target, comparing "best" (I use the word very loosely) vs T - no surprise, 3 Andrex and 1 Pasta did not work:(.

    Poops - got stuck in Leeds festival traffic arghh - so late back - but someone watching over me as they were 20 mins late with the mini ninja show so I didn't miss anything phew....

    I am now part of the breast and toilet roll club :o - lol and tonight Matthew we will be having chicken fajitas :p

    Didn't get Chicken last week, a wee few sweet Sunday packets. and got £2.85 apg so all not lost. Think the loo roll will go back as still got some in loft ...... Chicken looks like Costco stuff much nicer then what was left at Morries last week :D

    Off to plan my route to Swindon ....DS nagging to play on computer so it may be a while before back on to catch up ..:rotfl: Happy shopping peeps.....

    You just reminded me. I got a 2 in 1 swing for £11.25 in T.

    Its a baby swing for under 3s and then you can adjust it for ages 3-10
