    So, still not 10% cheaper, other than on a stupid Frijj milkshake doubtless placed at the aisle end and some pears that are way expensive in both stores! Still no idea why people buy packs of bananas at over 16.1p each:eek::rotfl:!



    I like the bananas in Asda, its good for making the APG different amounts.

    Nah, reckon that's just waffle and the Carex should be good to go for a bit yet. All depends if/when msm updates though.

    Thank you :)

    Just looking at your weight loss. Should we start calling you Svelte Fit Scottish Bloke? :cool:
    Well done x

    Comparison total (compared products only) £25.56 £33.10

    So the beggars (T) did rachet up the price of those pears very soon after all:(.
    NB: Sweet Pears are Rocha (at least in my A store), and note "Fun"size Rocha Pears are 69p in Aldi. So, doubtless another overpayment again at 84p in A. The Aldi bags probably give you about the same amount - if not more.

    I think I'm like a broken record - going on and on and on about the same narrow interest subject ad infinitum (zzzzzzz...:rotfl::rotfl:), as basically same could be said about nearly every muggle's shop even where it comes out more than 10% cheaper than everywhere else - they're overpaying on most things, if not all of them, and even if on the non-comparables.

    I think just after weekday lunchtime seemed to be a good time to find wombles in my ex-Netto small supermarkets (when their top-ups were enough items that was) but evenings from Thursday onwards seem better in the superstores (now seems to be around 7.30pm, or even a bit later, was 6pm until the sunlight kept going into the evening a little bit more). It's about 5 or 6pm during winter and just before sunset during other times of the year - or 3.45pm Sunday afternoons here all year round, as far as I can fathom. And best on proper summer sunshiny days (of which we get so few:(), they don't leave as many receipts when it rains.

    Jelly have you got your cashback on the little dish meals? Nice to see ya :)

    I'm going to collapse in a heap now. Really struggled through my workout this evening. Don't think I drank enough water in the day and I increased my dumbbell weight today. Knocked me for six a bit. Will be nice to have a rest tomorrow!

    Anyway, g'night loves. My Sada isn't even open at 6am so I'll cross my fingers that the little handwash that could is still working after that :)

    barratt-flump-twist-best_zpszmwadfgc.jpg

    I did buy Flump once,... and it was when they were changing from Barratt's to Candyland and didn't appear on the comp. I think I managed to 'rescue' one of those shops by waiting weeks till it reappeared - or maybe not. I certainly did have a failure in one of the small supermarkets, when they didn't have two different types of one product:mad: and I ended up with fewer than 8 diff. items - it seemed my flump didn't count. Really unlucky though - it's unusual for the flump not to count.

    Night :)

    Goodnight.:):wave:
    It sometimes also helps spending an exact APG I find. Just need the right size of banana(s).

    Bananas!:rotfl::rotfl:

    (I'd choose the loose bananas, on those they aren't 10% cheaper than T or M, and only are no-refund vs S and W because S and W's are Fairtrade so don't count as comparable.)

    Carex Odour Defence Handwash is no longer showing as 2 for £2 in asda on MSM :)


    I wonder if the tonight's midnight update will remove the 2 for £2 in asda stores? Ill try again at 10am after the mornings update on MSM to test before I do any more mass shopping trips :)

    This happened earlier in the day - right at the time I was looking; one minute it was 2 for £2 on msm, the next no mbuy.
    Midnight update? I thought it was about 6am?

    Carex Odour Defence has still worked on Friday, regardless of what msm said, at least when only one was bought with other flavours being bought. They don't stock Odour Defence in my As - not showing when signed in - so it's not one I can have on my shops.
