Evening all

Had to skip a bit as comping is taking more time than normal.
Decided to jump back in at this mornings posts to get the gossip about black friday.
Solved the handbag purchase thanks to John Lewis, a couple of vouchers and colour choice by dd oh.

Hope everyone is well and looking forward to the sales.

The herpes post made me think about other classic posts. This is another standout one for me :rotfl:

Have you been rehoused yet ? Sorry if you have updated and I have

missed your posts ... Well I must have missed your medical complaint too........

What would you advise to buy in the Black Friday sale ?

Im not buying anything. I haven't seen anything that's worth getting elbowed to death for that I really want.
What are you buying DGD for Christmas?

I can't think for a minute what people make of us all.

My own perceptions were that you (we) were all incredibly clever.:rotfl: I used to read the thread for hours before I built up the courage to post. Quite often I would say out loud"there are people on here getting stuff for nowt":rotfl:

I agree, take out the legal cover, for the sake of the £25 or whatever it costs it's worth it.

OH and I had a nasty crash about 8 years ago, we claimed for my injury on the other party's insurance. There was no doubt about liability in our case, the police were involved (they could hardly not be as we closed a main road for some time what with bits of engine etc all over the shop) and it was pretty straightforward.

OH was driving a Polish car with Polish insurance at the time - I didn't really want to go through his insurance unless I absolutely had to

Thank you Mildred, Im the same, there is quite clear liability, I was stopped, so no question there. I also know the lady and she has been really straight that she just didnt see me.
However I think Im going to do as you did and go through their insurance, better to have it all in one pot I think.
No idea why I have no legal cover, I usually always tick that box.

My Poppies arrived late afternoon too with Yodel. That driver said he had delivered a lot of these boxes today. I told him what it was and he said he had tried to buy one but they were sold out. I ended up opening one so he could see it

I can see why the 750g Shreddies now, as I notice they are on 3 for £5 in A. That does look good, compared to A's 'normal' pricing. Obviously they slipped onto that mbuy whilst I was looking the other way. Still not as good as 1Kg version vs T.

Still no good, they won't work:

Vs M
2 x Nestle Shreddies (750g)£3.33£6.76:(
1 x Kellogg's Coco Pops (550g)£1.67£2.00:(

Coco Pops really expensive at equivalent £1.67. Still much better to get 800g vs T, unless anything really worthwhile and extra can be found to reduce that £1.67 price down far more. Maybe cond.spends in T:laugh:?

Morries mbuy on Heinz soups not picked up:(.

1 x Heinz Classic Cream of Chicken Soup (400g)£0.60£0.89
1 x Heinz Classic Scotch Broth (400g)£0.60£0.89
2 x Heinz Classic Oxtail Soup (400g)£1.20£1.78
1 x Heinz Classic Beef Broth (400g)£0.60£0.89

5 for £3 in M? Not forefront of my mind, as too expensive!

Mbuy on tablet Raspberry Jelly picked up though:

3 x Hartley's Raspberry Jelly (135g)£1.00£1.00

At least we now know that's in a mbuy with itself - no clue as to what other flavours, if any, might be in that mbuy on the actual APG. I noticed in M there had been a pack design change on the Hartley's jellies again. Last time that happened, I noticed that, on one flavour at least, the ingredient "water" had been moved up the list, so that, it appears, the jellies had been watered down. Another way of saving costs and giving us, in effect, less for our money. Sorry Hartley's - it's equivalent to a weight reduction in my view!

Fortunately, this time, there were still a few old packs of one flavour kicking around in M. So what has happened this time, as these have now apparently become "Jolly" jellies or something - I can't remember, I pay no attention to any promotional puffery intended to try to get me to purchase anything?:rotfl::money: I noticed the 'older' ones (the second pack design of the now three) had "citric acid" as an ingredient. But the new one (the third design) has "acid", and then "citric acid". So - they have acidified them, it seems, and with non-citric bits on top! Now more acid:eek: than citric acid, never had any plain acid before (as far as I can see).

Meanwhile:



Still vs M
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Bourbon Creams (300g)£0.33£0.65
2 x ASDA Chosen by You Rich Tea Biscuits (400g)£0.67£1.00

I might start buying biscuits in M if they don't stop trying to annoy me! Mr A - your wombles are causing me to consider shopping elsewhere. Please can you put a nice price increase on these items and others, otherwise I shall shop elsewhere. Except for items that I already have on my planned Sains. shop, I want none of those increasing and things ruining!:rotfl:

Very expensive rich tea biccies don't you think? 33 and a third pence equivalent for a 400g pack?:eek: Surely, I remember S/P/Eday Value being much much less cost!

A packet of T Eday Value 300g, at 23p:eek::rotfl:, is still cheaper by weight than the CBY 400g at 33 odd pence, and not having to buy three packets of biscuits!:money:

This not yet being picked up vs M:

1 x ASDA Smartprice White Toilet Tissue - 200 Sheets p...£1.95N/A

I wonder how long before the price collectors spot it? Probably several months IMO:rotfl::rotfl:. Currently £1.95 in M - again, no good as T's Double Length 6 pack was comparing to straight £1 on 6 pack in M when they used to stock that. Now seems best would be to settle for 10% off M's price:(, once we've waited several months with no loo paper and for it eventually to appear. Sometime by next summer, maybe:rotfl:.
