    Wombles seem to be pointless. 50p, 50p and again. I think the reason my shopping has gone up is because I'm not buying Pot Noodles, Heinz soups, Aero Mousses or Tuc Crackers. At least not in A anyway:rotfl: We don't need these items! The best I can hope for is that they happen to buy non-comparable 50ps vs Waitrose:(. First womble - not enough items, so can't even see that - and it did look like they had bought quite a lot of items. Probably those blasted Christmas reductions that don't appear on the comp. Meanwhile, quite separately, I did see A's CBY Mince Pies at 50p today. At last they are at an 'okay' price:(. I think I'll move our Christmas celebrations to the end of January:(:rotfl:.

    My under the counter larder freezer has been here since I moved in this house in 1995, the previous owner left it and the matching fridge. Not sure how long they had them for.
    The freezer is still going strong but on my third new fridge. :eek:

    My chest freezer used to be the ice cream freezer at Compton Acres locals will know where I mean. ;) Couple got given it for when they moved in to tide them over and then they freecycled it. Still has remains of the huge New Forest ice cream sticker on the front it just won't completely scrub off. :rotfl:

    So I have never actually bought a freezer. :money:

    this is the sanex

    Sanex Dermo Pro Hydrate Shower Cream For Very Dry Skin 500ml £3.19
    8714789763804

    Yayyy, way to go!:D Silly fools bought 2 for £6.38 instead of 3 for £5.00. Some people really do have more money than sense - or at least so little time they can't even spend a split second to save, for them, £1.38*. Perhaps they didn't want to have three:wall:. Alternative possibility is that they weren't to blame - maybe the store had not marked the 3 for £5 offer on the shelf. (In which case, the customer was to blame after all: they should have checked the price online beforehand!:p:D)

    Whilst I'm on my 'trip' as to how expensive everything is, those Frosties are still quite dear - I'd compare them to £1.34 or lower. The 'fillers' on the womble vs M, thanks for posting, seemed quite expensive - I'd prefer the 1Kg versions of the Not Butter vs T at £1.40 (and they help reach APG spends and get more of the bill back) and the Robinsons vs £1 seemed quite expensive, but then again I am extreme saving:D:rotfl:.

    *And then sell the third one to someone as gullible as they were and total saving would then be £4.57:D.

    And of course the ordinary person, such as us, is supposed to see the difference between the Xmas stock and the new stock?:mad::rotfl: The fact the SEL wasn't removed was their mistake. I notice that nowhere does it mention "Cadbury Freddo XMAS STOCK" on that 6p label, but simply "Cadbury Freddo". If the SEL is referring to Xmas stock, it ought to state so!:p As I - or indeed any customer - we do not read "XMAS STOCK" where there is a blank space. Probably the invisible ink again - or maybe the white text on a white background:rotfl::rotfl:. Glad you're getting the GC you should get.

    Absolutely savvy, my sentiments exactly. I wonder how many people before me were caught out on this and not noticed :(
