I've just found that S/P/Savers/Eday Midget Gems - that do not compare vs M or T on the APG due to outside of weight range, ought not to compare Mvs A as outside of weight:( (A is a lot larger and for same actual price) but ought to compare Mvs T (with weight adjustment of T's price - upwards:( as lower weight). However, that is isn't really any good, since it's only, at best, a "match" vs T and T's price per unit is somewhat more than A's. Even if M rounded down to the nearest penny vs T (as rounding up would be, technically, shortchanging us as not getting as much as a "match"), it would still work out more expensive per 100g than A's straight price on 250g (31p in A, compared to M, with weight adjustment to T, rounding down and then my own weight adjustment back up again to as if it was the same weight as A's, would be 36p).

So, would work out best just getting the S/P Midget Gems in A.

S/P Clear Mints 250g are -

Avs Sains:eek:, heaven forfend!

I thought they had gone up a bit in price in A as 250g at 50p:eek:, but, no, it seems not! T is 35p:eek: on much smaller size, price per unit is higher. M (150g) vs T (160g), both at 35p and with weight adjusted price wouldn't work out very good. Seems it's Avs S for 10% off the 50p. Not that we need to [Strike]spend[/Strike] waste money on this sort of item!

Thank you Springdreams, but I think they need to go in a different shop. (I am probably wrong though.)

You are right.

Cif oven spray is v T. Cif bathroom spray and kitchen spray are v S.

Some are getting the fairy platinum dishwasher tabs rtc in store for £5 which compares to £10 v S.

Loyd Grossman sauces are v S.

Mullers are v S and M.

Evening all

Only 24 hours behind.

Dad has taken up residence in his new abode.
I asked sister how he was settling in and she said ' I don't know he told me to get lost after I had put him in his chair'. Very emotional day for him. She had to go back again this evening as had forgotten to leave the hospital discharge medication list. Not sure why as several drugs and doses changed already.
He seemed to like his room and bird table just outside his patio doors.

We are all on standby for him saying he doesn't like it and wants to come home but think he will feel well looked after.


Nice coffee and chat with Naebbirac. She had her first body shop birthday. Found a white musk set in nice bag, think 3 or 4 items in it but just one was £11 but set was £9. £8.10 after discount then £5 off so £3.10 for really nice present.
When we walked in we got the usual greeting and I replied that we fancied having a birthday. SA was definitely clued up but we have paid for the honour.
The A for total care h&s which in bought with tresseme hairspray. Not as much back but what I needed. We found some imperial leather shower gel for 50p and quite a few items not found worth keeping an eye on. Dishwasher tablets £5 in our store but forgot to check the cif stuff. Will do dishwasher tablet shop when last weeks apg comes through.

All in all we had a lovely afternoon.

Hugs V, a hard day for you all I hope he settles in ok. Im sure he knows you are all on standby.....but he's maybe too much of a gent to call on any of you? Thinking of you, as ever :A

As for N :eek: first BS birthday??? C'mon N the rest of us are pensioners :eek: :rotfl:

No, it's the second one. No points is better as not loaning anything to them, in any event it's outright cheaper (even if you throw half of the packet away). Although - I wouldn't even bother with M on the second one anyway, but do Avs M's mbuy.

Oh well :eek:

200 points on M's Coffee Whitener Regular (500g) at £1.67. So, perhaps it could be Mvs A as a 'filler' in effect - we hope it doesn't pick something else up in A that's much more expensive. A Coffee Whitener 500g at same price. The "More" points works out slightly better than 10% cheaper than M's price on APG would, provided M goes £1.67 vs £1.67 or goes N/A. Maybe just buy separately?:think: But, then, having to find more money to reach £15 on comparison shop (if doing that) with some other item(s).

Do NOT try as a filler on Mvs T! T has a 460g product at £1.70. That appears to be a jar rather than sachets, however I wouldn't want to risk M's computer picking up words rather than necessarily pictures and comparing and adjusting the £1.70 upwards as T lower weight but within the 20%.

On a point of order; that's very unlikely. The sale of a doctor's practice has been prohibited since 1948.

Well they retired and then died so might have been a share holder thing.
Point being dad had same dr for over 50 years and with same practice today.

You no doubt have a valid point about sale of practice but it still trades as the same place today so somehow the major partners changed.

I thought I was giving spring dreams an insight into how things use to be done. It was a fantastic bit of family history I learnt at the weekend.
