    Thing was I have not done one instore for ages, I;ve been happy with £99 a month on Udis/shades/prawn crackers.
    Now I'm down to six Udis at a time and they are always in stock.
    I blame Swad12345 for not clearing them out !

    Have you tried adding a previous order to your basket to still get your 10 udis?

    They have downsized the Wham bars recently - pathetic size now (even for the reduced price of 10p!).

    Thanks for that. You know, I often wonder, when using them on a shop, whether the Haribo stripes are shorter than they used to be. They do seem to have a lot of space around them in the packets, but I checked the weight and apparently it hasn't changed. The Haribo Tangfastics and Star Mix though - only nine in a pack, I reckon they did give you a few more several years ago, the meanies. That's now a penny each and will doubtless increase - that's inflation that isn't measured by the official stats as they look at the lack of change in the price and not at what it actually now buys(:rotfl:) (which is less than before).

    Those Tikka slices too - they don't exactly completely fill the packet - seems they are all bunched at the bottom, no need to put any under the labelling as it can't be seen as well anyway - they are only 200g but the packs being large (with space under the part of the tub where the label covers) might help convey the impression that you are getting more than you think. All set up, of course, and everything carefully designed, right down to the packet, colouring, labelling, size. However, at least we're getting them for a much better price. (I sincerely hope - I did wonder, only this morning:o, whether the womble result might have been affected by something else on the shop bought in conjunction - however there was only one other mbuy - it was some cooked meat but it was one of the 2 for £3 ones going vs 2 for £3.54 (presumably adjusted price) vs M, so it doesn't look like that is causing the £1 price.)

    I still reckon they did a similar thing, downsizing, when they put the Round Lettuce on r'back 40p. They seemed very small then (maybe I didn't pay any attention to them and notice how big/small they were when at 49p price) - so do need to watch if there's a price reduction whether the actual size of the product has gone down - fortunately I at least did manage, once, to get a far more substantive lettuce at M compare vs A at 40p (certainly wasn't going to buy one there, given how small they were in my stores). They're all at it - trying to give us as little as possible and (as is necessary for their existence) to make as much money as possible. The laptop and printer sellers and the washing machine company you know annoyed me yesterday:mad:. I think the reason Mr A doesn't annoy me is because at least there's a way of getting things from them much cheaper:D.

    Meanwhile, so-called "SP" (note the quotes as their description, may not an appropriate one in the circumstances) Red Kidney beans have gone back up to 30p. Probably another temporary two-week increase perhaps in order to make a few more pence off the vast majority of their purchasers and then they'll go back to 23p. Maybe they compare against M or perhaps they are N/A nowadays?

    Morning. Not read back.

    Just wanted to let you know I found another 40% off at brantano code, ends today. I've put it on the discount board.

    I know someone wanted some skechers go walks, but can't remember who, so hopefully they'll see this.

    Many thanks,
    Wasn't me, but I've ordered a pair of skechers go walks and using the code got a pair of sketchers posh flip flops free.

    It went up by about £40 each by the evening after I booked and now it is a whopping £108 each more expensive. How do the prices vary so much. :eek:

    Xmas Saver!
    I'm wondering what happens if you reject items in an order to a higher value than the cash paid (if you've paid for it using mostly APGs). Has anyone ever done this please and did it work ok? TIA
