    I can hardly read that beggar!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I'll try though - (squints:rotfl:), so no need to repost!:)

    EDIT: Avoid Pringles Paprika - really £1.24 in M. (Not that you would be buying Pringles at the moment;).)

    Stella Artois 15x tiny :(284ml appears to be £9 in M according to msm, but is comparing vs £8 (or possibly 2 for £16?) - no good though as way too little drink, hence my vagueness about its price in M - if it was any good you'd know!:D

    Jelly have you got your cashback on the little dish meals? Nice to see ya :)
    No I don't do the cashback thingy, I just get the free food that works with multiple coupons charged at individual prices:D Which in my case was a fridge full of cheese;)
    Good to see you too, Em:T And everyone else of course:)
    What you up to? Work-wise, life-wise, etc etc

    Still not 10% cheaper on much aren't they?:rotfl: Even with 98p r'back prices and £1.97 Actimel yoghurt (was £1.92 M, so, yet again, another overpayment compared to something else elsewhere at some other time:rotfl::rotfl:).

    My favourite 98p 'r'back' at the moment is the McVities Lemon Cheesecake biscuits. Right on the end of an aisle in my main store, at eye-level (i.e. normal people's:D), with r'back signage plain to see! These being ones that were often 50p in A, that rose to £1.16(?) £1.30(?) in order to go back to expensive r'back! (When looked against the 50p that they were throughout a lot of last year.) :idea:So that's how they have the biggest ever r'back? It's my favourite one as made me chuckle - I would never fall for it: I suspect many people are doing so!

    A little tip I learnt at Slimming World class, these are more chewy if put in freezer for at least 24 hours - eaten straight from the freezer, texture is then a bit like nougat :j :j

    With that thought ...... the one of the flumps in my freezer ............ I am off to bed. Night all

    Good evening well what a disappointment the Eclipse was here:(ended up watching it on the news ....3 day Next sale starts tomorrow don't think I shall bother with this one I used to enjoy it when my 4 Grandsons were little as used to like buying for them .

    I think we had it better last time (1999), we weren't in Cornwall: even though there was more cloud then, that actually made it darker! Better for us then, that were only ever going to have a partial, not so good for much of Cornwall that got covered in cloud even though they had the total!!

    This new one though was more spectacular in the amount of diamond rings that showed at both ends of the total eclipse. The sun is clearly in a period of great activity, with even a sunspot visible and a solar flare - we've been getting aurora farther south than normal recently - that, who knows, in a day or two's time, that could threaten communications systems here on Earth if it's sending anything out heading in the 'right' (or, rather, wrong!) direction. Even the news ruined it for me though, staying entirely with the image of the moon eclipsing the sun throughout:( and not showing the picture on the ground with the darkness at the same time - and, even after, we've only ever had a time-lapse view broadcast I think? Were there problems with communications to the Faroe Islands during darkness I wonder. Or perhaps same with a remote location like Svalbard.

    Just showing the image of the sun being eclipsed - it could have been at any time, anywhere. Felt like you weren't really there (and you weren't) - but some simultaneous, live ground activity of the shadow advancing and then rushing off would have been nice.

    Finally one happy Eyespy. Managed to get some Carex tonight. Literally been waiting to enter my receipts and the APG has returned what I wanted it too :)

    Would be nice if this was still working tomorrow :)

    On that note I wish you all a good night.

    That's just like one of those totally-lacking-in-imagination shops that many of my muggles buy:rotfl:. Really tiny cans of soft drink on expensive 4 for £1:eek: offer, that lose drastically elsewhere, and actually not much good to show for itself. Certainly not a criticism of you, instead it's a criticism of your muggle!:)

    The shopper has missed cheaper offers on the Tropicana elsewhere, instead bought them now from A at £2.48:eek:, and not really saved much elsewhere on the shop, but then people reading this thread know all this!
