    I was waiting for you to spot that :rotfl: as I was not sure if it had been picked up by anyone

    its worth buying with the 50p a bottle CS cash back :)

    :rotfl:It probably hadn't - until I walked in an hour ago (times flies:D:(), logged onto here and saw it immediately in your post!

    But...has anyone noticed a few changes to several of the A prices on the M list? I bet not!:D:D:D:rotfl::eek:

    S/P Brussels Pate Chubb (I can't get the accents to work:cool:) has gone down from 41p to 37p. In fact I removed the M "equivalent" that's possibly not an equivalent (the Savers 'Bacon & Liver Pate Chubb') as neither of the two Ms I visited on Wednesday could be bothered to put a price on the shelf for them:(. I thought - right, that's it, I'm just going to remove them, silently and not mention anything about it, as it's same price at A and M anyway and, even though A doesn't compare to M, may as well buy them in A at same price. If they're same price and one store 'can't be bothered' to give a price, then I'll go to the one that can. Except that, now, they are not. They are now 37p in A (making them, quite likely, best to buy there). I'm assuming they're still 41p in M - maybe the lack of price indicates that they've increased the price, who knows?

    No idea if they'd compare M vs A, and in any event I wouldn't want to reward the miscreancy of them falling in the couple of stores I was in to put the price up. On Avs, they might just compare vs M (which would be no bad thing if compared 37p vs 41p, as that wouldn't lose anything). As far as I'm aware, they go N/A vs M (I don't think msm regard them as comparable) and N/A vs everywhere else. So, especially as the price has gone down a little, now a good filler perhaps. I mention this as just be trying to do a shop vs Sains., but with Sains. being really expensive on a lot of their own label items, it's quite difficult unless sacrificing pence here and there. But I talk about a lot of 15p items in A (15p T and M maybe) being 20p in S! And one S/P one I think I saw earlier today: 20p in A - 40p:eek: in S! I've had to settle for non-comparable, but even there (or perhaps, especially there) very limited options.

    I talk about the Brussel Sprouts, Baileys and Donuts perhaps not being good items, but then I've had to compromise on my own shopping this afternoon and take 'not best prices' here and there - so a bit of a 'muggles shop', maybe, from me, coming up later!! A very good muggles shop though - seems to have carefully picked cheaper items that don't compare together with expensive ones that do (and compare to cheaper)!:D:)

    S/P Brussels Pate Chubb might be one item to use on an Avs Sains. shop.

    Evening! Would anyone say that £1.80 for the large 900ml tresemme bottles of shampoo/conditioner is good?

    Just worked out that If I buy them in M's at £4.99, I would get 500 more points and 2690 match points as they are £2.30 in Sada so would get 3190 points back (£3.19). Don't know whether to get a couple of bottles or not! Someone sway me either way please!! :rotfl: I can't make the decision myself! x

    Paying for shampoo:eek: lol xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    I don't know if all As do it but ours do home delivery for £1 on certain days/times. Might be worth a look so you don't miss out the next time there's a glitch you fancy taking part in.

    If it's about the best price you can get, then yes :)

    Although it'll never beat 32p a bottle that we were getting it for during the big A glitch. I'm still using up my stash and have several bottles left :D

    Seriously though I do think the Treseme is a decent price if your not able to do a glitch. Hth xx

    It's taken almost two hours to get home :mad: :mad: :mad:

    While waiting for the bus, I had a Black Forest hot choc from Costa, got preached at by an ex smoker, who with her banging on about smoking made me want one, so I rolled one and walked away from the bus shelter. She then walked PAST me, glaring at me the whole time :eek:

    Shame there wasn't an instore boots glitch, I could have gone and filled my boots with that instead :rotfl:

    Good Afternoon

    Very damp day here

    A little glitch.These are not on apg comparison.

    I've got a womble with 2 airwick refills on Airwick freshmatic max refill cairngorms-spiced appple and snowy mountains. barcode 501141656122

    £3.98 or 2 for £6. Some of these are £3 in tosco

    Are there better comps? Now, who wants to risk those Air Wick Reed Diffusers - £5 individual A price vs actually let's go vs T (chickening out) at £3.50 (M £3.49 on the Air Wick Cool Linen Lilac diffuser until 30/11 - msm showing £6.99, lots of confusion in different M stores on the pricing!)? One Freshmatic refill, as above, and one RD Cool Linen & White Lilac. Maybe. Vs T for the first person and then, once confirmed, maybe vs M for all subsequent purchasers that aren't in Northern Ireland.

    I would love to see M comp on those Air Wicks - see my list for ideas, but I'd still chicken out and go vs T until known (check msm for T pricing though). Mind you, we were being paid to take two of those Cool Linen diffusers recently when mbuys didn't show and they compared from better full price x2. That obviously not on now. Invisible trigger route now may not be as good, but certainly better than 2 at £6!
