It just "defeats the point". I think that's my favourite phrase of the day! Okey-dokey, I'm posting too much, so I'll leave that one with you and go now for the day(:wave:).
[EDIT: :think:Perhaps it should be "defeats the purpose" rather than "defeats the point". But you know I am not accurate in these sorts of things! I'll let you wonder about what the phrase should be yourselves.]

But I think sometimes people have every right to become impatient:rotfl: (not that it does much good;):D:laugh:). (I'd be impatient after a few hours lol:rotfl: - even well under three hours is enough for me:laugh:!)
I wasn't aware I was being impatient I've never had one before! I think the excitement got the better of me. Talking of excitement my wine has arrived. I did get 3 bottles of Lions gate but also 3 x chateauneuf-du-pap and 3 @£22.45

I did get a bit carried away when ordering but they will last until Christmas :rotfl:0 -

No, you're only impatient if you think you are. Well done on the wine. You're like me though - it's a natural human reaction to be "impatient", although sometimes, when we're not, we get thanked for our "patience" - or even if sometimes we were impatiently waiting all along:rotfl: (they write: "Thank you for your patience", we think "About time too:mad:":rotfl:). I've got impatient in the past, sometimes when sending something by good ol' snail mail and wishing I had a reply when they probably haven't even got my letter yet(:rotfl:). I think we have to wait, patiently, for about 21 or 28 days.:cool::(:rotfl: APGs though, I don't think we'd have to wait that long!

I'm just so excited to do my second APG shop its all in my basket ready to go:rotfl: I think they know that and that's why they are making me wait. I usually shop at T's were you get your price promise the next day.
I shall continue to wait patiently0 -

You can take over my crown if you like di.
Think £88/£90 for a £60 box is a poor show. Glad the others made up for it. :T
And Naebirrac I am glad you got a good fizz selection too. :beer:0 -
Good afternoon:wave:

M22M ....I tend to struggle with waities a little if I'm honest and trying to do a comparable shop...its one of those places where I can easily lose myself and spend far more than I intended.
I usually have to let the conditional spends go as even £8 off a £40 shop can still not always seem "value" when you compare it to a truly targeted shop elsewhere.
Although I do find that sometimes the wines or spirits are a good bet for a conditional spend as they are sometimes very competitively priced or have special things that you cant always get easily elsewhere...I do like the chase flavoured vodkas especially the marmalade and so conditionals usually get spent on that or my other downfall is the patisserie counter as the macaroons are sooo nice!!!!
...sorry that doesnt help much with the compiling of your list!!!!frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
