    FC I hope life is a bit brighter for you all today x

    Well I'm sure it will be by the end of it after DS1 and I have finished drowning our sorrows tonight because that's what we have planned ;)
    We have both been so busy this week we haven't been in the same place at the same time long enough to have a proper conversation.

    My day might also be brightened if all my male friends stopped insulting me :p I've just popped in on my neighbour to update him and he told me I was looking like a scraggy horse and needed a good feeding :eek: :o

    Sainsburys GLITCH. Tassimo Carte Noire Latte Machiatto scanning at £0.50
    I bought a Tassimo Vivy from tesco which was a deal on HUKD. Went into my local Sainsbury's to buy some pods and the Carte Noir Latte Macchiato x 8 should sell for £4.00. Scanning at 0.50. Quick trip back to the coffe section and I bagged the last 2 on the shelf

    I like your plans for tonight :D

    the cheek of your neighbour :eek:

    aww he meant it in a concerned way. He'd never insult me :A Scraggy I'll take......but a horse? :eek: :rotfl:

    One thing is for sure, I won't get fat eating that valentines meal deal from Ts. DS1 was right, it's very poor value for what it cost. I had cond spends and coupons so it didn't cost me £20 but I'd have been disappointed if it had!
  • There's more chance of finding bars of gold next to the peas in the freezer department.
    Regarding memorising my list, perhaps "memorise" was the wrong word to use and I should have used "familiarise". I don't fully memorise everything on my lists, with the exception of the very short ones. I found that after processing the lists and looking at the pictures the products become familiar, so when browsing instore if there is an unfamiliar product it may jump out at me, not literally :D but I might think "Hmm I don't remember seeing that before" whereas other items on my list seem familiar. I've never tried it with a list of this size before though :eek: :D
    Wow! Evangeline, thank you for the list. I will take it with me next time I go. I will break it down into brands so I check one at a time to be less of a chore. You lot are amazing!
    Yes this is a good idea :cool: very few brands in the offer though unfortunately for us as this makes it more difficult. Perhaps break down again into similar products and sizes :think:
    Spurred on by Evangeline's list I had a look the items on A.com and msm. Unfortunately, the best I could come up with is this..

    These are 2 pictures of what I believe are meant to be the same item (and probably are). The one on the left is the pic on A.com where it is called John Frieda Radiant Red Original For All Shades of Red Hair Shampoo and the one on the right is on msm where it is called John Frieda Radiant Red Colour Protect Magnifying Shampoo.

    Just need to get to my local to scan the item to see what it comes up as.

    I sent the msm version to A5da online and it went into my basket as the other version, so they are the same product unfortunately :(
