I am trying to do a c&c for tomorrow a v t and have put these in my msm basket along with some fillers:

1 x Lenor Fabric Conditioner Concentrate Summer Breeze - 44 Washes (1.1L)

1 x £3.50(8p/Wash) Pantene Pro-V 2in1 Classic Care Shampoo & Conditioner (700ml)

3 x Lynx Shower Gel - Apollo (250ml)

1 x £2.37 any 3 FOR £5.00(94.8p/66.7p/100ml)

2 x John Frieda Frizz Ease Nourishing Oil Elixir (100ml)

msm showing A as cheaper by a long way. I have a £12 e apg to use but don't want to lose it by making silly mistakes - wouldn't be like me at all that :rotfl:

I am hoping that these items are glitching so I will be ok to order. What do you more knowledgable lot think? TIA

Don't want to confuse things, but isn't the washing stuff a v t
And the shampoo and JF a v m
Don't want you to mix up 2 shops!!

In my store there are some 700mls at £5.99 and others at £3.xx

Its the £5.99 ones that are in the 3 for £10

This is all based on the SELs though. I haven't scanned anything

Your right:D:D

Your best womble?:huh: I had one that was twice as big as that! Ner, ner, ner, ner, ner. But..., no;). I always think I never get the really big ones - I've never had one of double figures yet - but others seem to get them all the time.

I was to have bought Morries unwashed potatoes today - huge 12.5Kg at £2. Instead I bought 2x2.5Kg (=5Kg) of white potatoes from Mr A for £3. So I ended up getting less than half the amount and for a pound more:eek:. In a sense, I'm doing 'too well' - trouble was I had this womble to spend. I can't have every £8 shop giving me £8 back:rotfl:. (Why not?:D I hear you ask, but no.) We just already have enough of lots of things and can't keep getting money back and just have nothing to spend it on. Yes a nice situation, in a way! So I did a bit of muggle shopping. No shopping of my own to post tonight as I didn't get enough items. I lost a penny here on one item, four or five pence on the Cabbage, but I saved about 80p getting some whoopsied veg. packs at 10p each:T. I know people get a lot better than that, but a good start for a rookie like me in that area!

I've got about a couple bags of potatoes, and a number of packs of fruit and veg., three bags (and they are full bags - I obviously pack things very tightly:D) of stuff all for about 20p with the overage beyond my vouchers. I've still got another I can spend next time to get £3 potatoes again. I know, in a sense, it's paying more but, given that the real money was actually about 20p, no need to pay 40p for Sun vouchers (not available this week anyway). Otherwise I would have been paying £2 of real money for the unwashed ones from M. We did need some more fresh fruit - as down to the last few apples:eek: from the last M voucher.

So, in effect, I've done a 'Sun voucher'-type shop, but instead of paying 40p for the vouchers, they were free with wombles. Even though the potatoes were 2 for £3:eek:, and despite the pears packs being quite small, it's a bit like how some of the apples, such as the Gala packs, had gone up in price (in effect because they were no longer on mbuy) at the time of the last Sun voucher - but despite that price increase, it still made sense to buy in M (with the voucher) as couldn't get the produce cheaper elsewhere (Sun vouchers not valid in other stores).

I know - and even though I criticise wombles where they buy 600g packs of pears at £1! My guide price is 800g pears for 50p. Btw, if are using wombles and getting fruit in A, it seems the Kids apples and Kids pears packs are actually better. I found A's (normal) Gala apples packs at £1 - not many apples in them at all these days - but the Kids packs, smaller apples perhaps but more (good for me as the peel is the bit I prefer, the rest of apples is mainly just sugar - the nutritrous bit is the peel) were also Gala (another 'supermarket trick' maybe:rotfl::D) but 96p. I found the "Smartprice" Apples at £1.09:eek: but the regular ones at £1 and the Kids at 96p. I found Kids pears packs at 74p. Paid a penny on that shop:money: after managing to juggle around the various item prices and reach APG amount. I couldn't find any 4 +4 extra Kit Kat chunkys in my store though, so I didn't buy any Kit Kats.

If I had done an 'APG' shop, of course I'd have had another APG back. But, in effect, you can pick up a womble instead, and end up with the amount you'd have got back. I like Thursday nights. It seems to be quite a good night here. People are doing their weekly shops on Thursday in time for the weekend and leaving receipts around. I did a 'fruit and veg' voucher shop but with the APG voucher instead of a Sun voucher (alright, I stuck some non-fruit/veg. item onto the shop too, an extra benefit of the A womble). And of course I wouldn't have anything back off a shop done in Morries with a Sun voucher, so it was the same situation now (but with the womble) in Mr A.

Linoti Sauvignon Blanc (looks cheap) £12 :eek:
Georges D'Albot Champagne £30

Andre Carpentier Champagne £13.49
Monistrol Champagne £13
Ahh, and to save the day
Lanson. £23.99

[STRIKE]Will have to get them priced up now.[/STRIKE]


About £95 -£100, so not bad

The Linoti is surprisingly nice DM I got that earlier in the year, the Georges champagne is the one of mine I didn't get to try as the bottle had cracked. Do you remember I lifted a weightless bottle out of my box, I think I had dropped it in.

T were selling off at 62p a bag last week in a store I was in last week.

Anon

I might buy them in A though, perhaps at £2, with a womble:rotfl:.

EDIT: But I'd nonetheless get them in T, at 62p (or would have got them at that price last week), with an APG womble if any of my Ts were taking APGs.
