Sadly oos at all my nearest @rgos stores:(

Savvybuyer

Of course, this is now marked as a "Savvy buy":(:(:( at £8:eek::eek:_pale_:


Calgon Express Ball Water Softener Tablets (45)
[Strike]£12.00[/Strike] £8.00(17.8p/Unit)

This was just £3 in the last few days. It's *not* gone down from £12 to £8 at all - why can't they just be honest?:(:mad:

To be fair that's not sains.co.uk but coming from msm.
On sains.co.uk, in the plain list of products (that comes up when you enter the search term "Calgon"), it appears to have a conflict in the information on there (assuming that either of them qualifies as being "information", i.e. that which informs - given the conflicting "information", I'm not informed as to what the actual price is at all) - it says £8.00/unit in the black price on the right, but a strapline in red that says "Only £7.00: Save £3.50". The word "Only" is of course their word, which acts to minimise the price of £7.00 when in fact this was only £3.00 only a day ago (not available in all stores) and therefore £3 ought to be described as "only".

The £7, allegedly, represents a "Saving" of £3.50:(. I would not, IMO, call this a "Saving" at all. To me, it is payment of £4 more, paying more than twice the previous price, and therefore represents a loss of £4, rather than any saving. Me, I'd rather have "saved" £7.50 by buying at the immediate previous price of £3 rather than merely "saving" just £3.50 but I suspect each to their own as some people choose to opt into a "saving" of £3.50 rather than a saving of £7.50.

On the "Only £7.00" page of sains.co.uk - for delivery from 24/09/2014 to 07/10/2014 - no thank you, given the price increase:( - and, oh, "Promotion not in all stores" is still there - it has the Calgon with a black price of £12.00 this time and "Only £8.00: Save £4.00". Presumably the implication is that this is a saving of £4.00 against the 'regular' price of £12.00. Yet, that £12.00 price is not the immediately previous price.

Whether it is now £7.00 or £8.00 - make your mind up, S:p - it's a rip-off IMO compared to previous price of £3.00 and is anything except a "savvy buy". For "savvy buy" and "thumbs-up", read thumbs-down. For the word "only", read "rip-off" and for "Save", read pay far more than before. In the supermarket/msm world, every term and claim has the opposite meaning of what it claims to say. Avoid.:(

EDIT: I notice my sig. below - to "'Expensive' items in S..." (perhaps becoming a little out of date - or maybe not as those Basics items are as far as I know still expensive) maybe I will now be adding the Calgon.

EDIT 2: It's a "Savvy buy" marking because it is still 30% or more below the average price of elsewhere during the year (or whatever period msm use). That doesn't make it something to buy at that price though (£7/£8) and does not stop it being, in my view, a rip-off and, IMO, just goes to show how expensive all the other stores are and how the product should now be avoided and should only have been bought when it was previous £3 or when it was previously compared against £3. Of course this is now over, so beware. You might, very just, be very very lucky indeed and live right near to a Sainsbobs that happens to have Calgon in stock and still on £3 offer today and if you get it before the store closes tonight, may just be able to get it at £3 - but other than that, forget it, and it always amazes me why do people wait and leave it to the last minute?:think: Especially when we already knew that this was going to end imminently.

Thankyou:) I've just looked at that one on t. Com but apparently once the needle has broken... It's useless, can't replace nor mend. The reviews weren't great:(

Mum2tomonkeys ....plus friends.......how she gets to 10 different items is anyone's guess:rotfl:

Yeah, I saw the same. I was trying to find smething for my daughter. the one she wanted was the one that was on tv but once the materials used you have to use theres or something.

I am debating getting her a basic one from bid up tv or something and a couple of little fabric bundles or something.
