I am sure the razors were V T as scanned them. Maybe you picked up wrong flavour:eek: Not too shabby for someone who misplaced her coupons when we got to the till. Think you really needed 2 trolleys push one and pull the other or put a basket in my trolley. I can only cope with one shop at a time unless they are the same shop.
BS vouchers from glamour were sitting waiting for me when I got in. Will take dad one of the Mr shoes final reduction ted baker sets on Saturday as didn't get to BS.

Have you checked ORCHARD yet as mum, dd and I are all in even though we didn't get an invite. Forgot to say got my first T panel clothing trial. A pink sparkly T shirt is winging it's way to me. Sure zippy got the same one as he does well on these. First time I have got in after 9 invites.

DD got a phone call today to say she won a £500.00 DKNY Handbag from the draw at the Harvey Nicholls beauty night we went to last week. !!!

Regarding Waitrose we had a new store last July and I actually bought a new upright freezer which is full to the brim with Waities bargains. I got 12 packs of Corn Cobs 2 weeks ago for 10P each and got £1.64 back for every 3 I bought!!!

That is fantastic news rose. You got papped at the event now dd will have the right bag to be papped with. Is she keeping it or selling to buy bits for the new house.
Did she find a quick delivery sofa or in the end.

My dd as won something today. There was a free puppet show at library last Friday and she won the competition (making a data base I thing) no clue what the prize is probably puppet related but she doesn't comp much just things like events.

No barbie dolls left anywhere. Wanted some to donate to radio station for kids Xmas presents and a set for dd to put away for birthday presents. Never mind always something pops up.

Im going to bed. Before I do Id like to say something on the advice of a very dear friend (I wasn't going to) Id like not to be dragging stuff up or having a discussion that gives despicable people more thread time than they deserve. So just read and don't comment please.

Apologies for commenting:o and apologies for giving a person or people more forum time than they deserve, and just repeating an earlier post of mine...

The MSE forum team could take this further but I appreciate they may not have the time or resources; or it could be referred to the police to see if were a criminal matter under the Malicious Communications Act ("Those who subject others to threatening material online are currently prosecuted in magistrates' courts under the Malicious Communications Act, with a maximum prison sentence of six months"), though there are moves to amend the law with stiffer penalties

In brief, "We are on your side":)

OOPS !

Fancy buying that expensive Brown Onion and the unnecessary Refresher Bar:rotfl::rotfl:. However, quite rightly I'd buy a little more than necessary when going for 3 for £10 JFs:rotfl:.

I've been waiting on a womble (wait has already now ended) where they bought some £2.50 sausages. It has drawn my attention to what, on msm.co.uk, looks like a possibility of a very good comparison: A's Butch Sel Pork Cocktail Sausages (340g) showing £2.50 A and £1.19 M.

So, it's eyes down on wombles to see if anyone buys the above item. Sadly, on mine, it turned out to be the Richmond Thick Irish Pork Sausages (12 per pack - 681g). Those are showing as £1.75 for Morries on msm.co.uk. However, they are not comparing to that. They are returning M at £2.85!:( Good job therefore that the comp. that triggered a voucher offer was Waities.

As regards the Cocktail Sausages, appropriately enough with Christmas coming, I sort of got an implied message that there might be some cocktail sausages that were good priced in M - an intuitive thing sort of getting through to me, in a way:D but not quite fully received:D:D:rotfl: - but, when it came to the relevant aisle in Morries, I didn't notice cocktail sausages enough - having to keep track of all the numerous items already on my list.

The £1.19 ones on msm for M are showing as 25 per pack 320g. So, apparently within weight range of A's (340g). However, according to a.com, the ones in A are 24 sausages per pack. Not sure what they'd do if they have fewer sausages in a pack, which suggests M price should be reduced by number, but higher weight, which points to adjusting M price slightly upwards rather than down. We have had some of the brownie bites packs for example comparing, with adjustment, vs Morries 2 for £3 (or rather with adjustment to Morries straight £2 price as they bought only one:mad:), even though A and M are not the precise same number.

Because of this problem, fewer sausages in A's pack, suggesting A's are somewhat bigger and therefore might be treated as non-comparable, yet the weight within range, which maybe could be compared even though the packs, as per the brownie bites etc., are not the same number, - I realise at this point I'm continuing a single sentence and haven't put a full stop in this paragraph yet:rotfl::rotfl: - it's too risky for me to include on the M list (yet I put arguably more risky things onto there sometimes:rotfl:), basically I don't know what it would do and therefore, as a cop-out maybe, I just exclude them and don't bother to put them onto the M list. Eyes down therefore for A's Butch Sel Cocktail Sausages (340g) to see if anyone, at some point, buys them on a womble and, assuming it's not in Northern Ireland, what result it gives for M. HTH.

(My 'hunch' is that it is most likely to return N/A as item is very new in A and therefore nothing to link the M product they scan instore up to for A. However, that comparison on msm does look a very good comparison and - might just work!! It's a better price per unit than the allegedly "Savers" cocktail sausages in M.)
