If anyone is around that has made butter from cream please could you remind me how to do it?
Got large tubs of double cream for 2p each yesterday and thought I would give it a go. Went a bit daft and spent 72p on 36 :eek: tubs :rotfl:

Pour into a bowl and beat I used my electric beater and for 1 pot it took about 10-15 mins just keep beating until it looks curlded pour off the liquid buttermilk can be used for making scones press what's leftover tog to form a ball and rinse in cold water until water goes clear shape and its ready to use

At the moment, it looks like I'll stick to shopping in Sains. (for me):rotfl::rotfl:.

I've been looking at the cost per item on my last shop, where the £4 off what would have been a £10 shop in A makes it a cost of £6.01 (I lost a penny to the cap). It depends how you work it out of course, but if I exclude one of the items, a 10p Haribo - of course the non-comparable Strawbs (I like those and can get them only in Sains:D) - then it's £19.91 (Sains spend plus the further penny that was lost) less the £10 and the £4 cond spend. = £5.91 for 11 items (all branded) (figure excludes the Haribo Strawbs). I make that about 53.7p per item! Not bad for Tropicana juice and some Happy Eggs, and Bernard Matthews Turkey Numbers (even though original price match to £1 for 338g was quite an expensive price - would have had 500g Dinosaurs in Morries for £1 earlier) and Brunch Bar (downsized:( I note).

However, I paid too much for a Hartley's tablet jelly (wasn't bothered with mbuy due to the circumstances). Guide price on that should be about 20p in my view - or 25p as most price I would really pay - so that's an overpayment (compared to my price wish - my wish is of course for a lower price than that!:rotfl:) of at least about 29p. Then apportion the 29p among the remaining 10 items is now 56.6p:eek:. Then the air freshener (Dettol Neutra Air Fresh Breeze did work - £1.70 vs 90p) was really expensive compared to about 32p/33p price for S/P version, which is probably exactly the same it what it achieves - so yet another 23p paid too much. Then the 23p among the remaining nine (not calculating this exactly at this point) is adding a further 2.5p+ - its about 59p or even 60p for the items now!:eek::eek: Way too much for a Frijj milkshake and Dairylea triangles. :eek:I'm losing money at every stage:rotfl::rotfl:. None too relevant as was part paid (£5) with Nectar points that I got back earlier, and £10 BM (with BMs recycled through seven previous shops at least in part coming from that original spend that gave the points back).

Sains seem to be trying to thwart a BM back, now having reduced the price of the Tropicana to £1.25:(, now only a 27p difference that the muggles will very very easily lose entirely by picking up some item promoted on offer in Sains that isn't on reduction in A - and thus still end up paying S £1.25 on the Tropicana (not A's lower 98p price) and S's offer price on its item. They've also put the prices of the Frijjs and the Dairylea down a little now, so not as good anymore:(. Glad I jumped in there yesterday - you'd think if I shopped somewhere, I actually liked the retailer - instead it seems we shop at retailers we hate and try and drag the BM payments back out of them:rotfl::rotfl:.

I wish these West Country pasty offers were for longer than a day. I mean if folk go out they buy the paper then have to come home and print the voucher then do without or have to go out again.

I hope to go to Shrewsbury tomorrow and they have one of these shops there but of course it's too late.

From an 1103 womble today. Price is 75p per bag, no multi shown, yet apg sees a multi at 2F£3.00.

But just what are they comparing against at 49p each as T don't seem to have any at 49p?

This maybe a store specific reduction possibly ? Shows as Whites 2.5KG 000002716477 £0.75

tesco are selling 49p potatoes. part of their christmas promotion.

This must be a store-specific reduction - seconds or a whoopsie (that wasn't a yellow sticker 'reduced' as such). Unless they know someone on the till that has them changing the cost to 75p.

Again, these are just lucky people that seem to get all these reductions that make me a little envious. Never any such luck in my stores!:rotfl::rotfl: Was the shop closing early? Was it an ex-Netto?

T's 2.5Kg White Potatoes are 49p. It's not a glitch!

Whoops! Looks like they have just shot up to £1.75!:eek::eek:

They were 49p the last time I saw them, quite recently, and must have been a change on msm this afternoon. It may be that that has changed since lunchtime (and therefore APG still has 49p for the rest of the day - until about 6am tomorrow) or it may be it is now updated into the APG at £1.75 for T.

Looks like were.
It looks like they are going to be £1.75 tomorrow (or maybe that's another rollover and T wanting to claim a reduction to 49p from a "was" price of £1.75?). These were 49p on the promotion and, unlike other items in the promotion at 49p, the potatoes were continued at 49p thereafter for a little longer. May be ending now.

Which...might be a clue that, as this seemed such a short-lived promotion, and has, all too soon, now shot up to £1.75, that this was a loss leader item;) that we should have been buying in droves before. Fortunately I did - I bought as many bags as possible, that would last without much spoiling, last time I shopped in A.
