    Some T vs A?

    2xOXO Stock Cubes Beef (24x6g)£2.20x2 Any 2 for £3.00 (Probably more expensive than non-supermarket Oxo prices)
    Oust Odour Eliminator Garden Fresh (300ml)£2.00 £1.00 (More expensive than sub-£1 non-supermarket price)
    Dettol Neutra Air Fresh Morning Dew (300ml)£1.60 90p Q. expensive (not doing well am I?:rotfl:)
    Cillit Bang Active Foam Soapscum & Shower Cleaner (600ml)£3.50 £2.00:rotfl:
    Cillit Bang Active Foam Soapscum & Shower Citrus Force (600ml)£3.50 £2.00:rotfl: Silly ones - and check a.com to see that this isn't messed up info. from msm
    Tommee Tippee Essentials First Cup 4mth+£1.60 £1.00
    Tommee Tippee Essential Basics Food Pots & Lids 4mth+ - Orange (3)£1.98 £1.00
    Tommee Tippee Explora Non-Spill 260ml Beaker 7mth+£3.99 £2.00:rotfl:
    E45 Dermatological Emollient Wash Cream (250ml)£4.00 £1.00
    Scholl Clear Gel Blister Plasters Assorted (5)£3.55 89p
    Eurax Anti Itch Cream (100g)£5.00 £1.44
    Matey Bubble Bath Molly (500ml)£2.09 £1.00 (been cheaper before)
    Matey Bubble Bath Peg Leg (500ml)£2.09 £1.00 as above
    Covonia Catarrh Relief (150ml)£4.00 £2.74 £2.74 is probably way too expensive
    Sudafed Mucus Relief Day & Night Capsules (16)£4.50 £1.13
    Clarks Original Maple Syrup (180ml)£1.98 £1.00
    Jus Rol Bake-it-Fresh Dough Cinnamon Swirls (6 per pack - 270g)£2.00 £1.00 Might not compare on T PP due to being a 'new item' and might it be less risky on Sains BM?:think:
    Wonder if anything in T compares to ASDA Butcher's Selection Lamb Shoulder by Weight £4.00/kg?
    Anchor Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)£4.75 £2.00 If some special reason why, e.g. MOCs or further
    Anchor Mature Cheddar (350g)£4.50 £2.00
    Anchor Lighter Mature Cheddar (350g)£4.50 £2.00
    Tesco Raspberries (250g)£2.00 £1.60 But - would this compare from T to A? The Strawberries packs didn't.
    Carling Grapefruit Cooler (4x300ml)£3.00 £2.00 Probably still works out at equivalent of £13 for 10x440ml, when my price guide on those is £10 (or even £9, i.e. 10% off at 'right' time of purchase)

    Thanks, I've had a look (and I've added it to Avs S list), and it is as you say, seems to be comparing to another item on sains.co.uk, but ... :o:onot sure, as when I put this into the basket on msm, it says Save £2.00 vs S, but Save £4.00 vs M. For M it's coming up with M's Concentrated Non Bio Super Concentrated Liquid at straight £2. This, however, is 960ml, so 2x is not quite 2L and yet would cost £4.00 straight (rather than £3.60 after APG). Yet, it says the Morries product is 32 washes, so 64 washes for £4.00? Then I thought the Fairy was Biological - would have made a difference for me - but then saw it was also Non Bio. I'm not fully convinced, as it seems, although quantity is slightly less and get slightly less than 2L and paying 40p more, apparently get a lot more washes from the Morries own brand product, and of course I have no truck with anything such as being a slave to branded products such as Fairy(:rotfl:).

    Right, I've been through the "Savvy Buys" for A about five times now, for Svs A, Tvs A and Avs S fillers, good job I have repetitive interests - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome#Restricted_and_repetitive_interests_and_behavior - and therefore suits me right down to the ground:rotfl:. There is a reason (and this is it!:D) why I can be here, several hours later, having done that and still not worn out or bored by it all. Coming with a health warning not to believe everything you read on Wikipedia.

    "Restricted and repetitive interests and behavior":D.

    Restricted and repetitive interests..., erm, goodnight folks, see you later!:rotfl::A:wave:

    Abnormally early for me for a Sunday. However DS has a footy match which kicks off at 8.30, so need to get a wiggle on.

    Have a lovely day all :)
