    Tosca are being very good to me. I had 12 weeks of buying The Sun with 25 bonus points everyday which has just ended and they've sent me another one :beer: So I get newspapers, Sun Perks codes and, at the moment, the tokens for a Morries giftcard :j

    Ds wombled a receipt earlier


    1x Comfort Blue Fabric Conditioner 42 Wash (1.5LT) £2.00 £3.00

    Of course, get that, that's the same price at the competitor as the twice the size bottle is at M:(. In fact, why bother with Comfort at all? (Should have gone for the right Lenor yesterday! As opposed to the other size of Lenor that they got me:mad::rotfl:!)

    They've no idea about how to buy anything - that price of £2 on the 42 wash is well over twice the price that I would go for! Pricing perception for the muggles 42 wash is "worth" £2. Savvy - it's about 50p:rotfl:. Even my 50p is probably way too high:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::p.

    They even managed to get me the small gammon (750g) that shows same price at M (£4) as the 1.4kg version. It's cheaper on the shelf price in A (and therefore more expensive!) - more than 10% cheaper than M:mad:. Way to go:( - if you're in M, instead of paying £4 for 1.4Kg, pay £4 for 750g:wall:. Assuming APG price is correct - I didn't look at 750g price of course:rotfl: (if it's £4, if it was lower and on offer I would almost certainly have seen it;)).
    Mulits are

    Meat 2 for £7
    Cheese 2 for £3
    Heinz jars 2 for £3
    Baby food 12 for £6
    Nappies 3 for £12

    They're all going for this one like mad:(!

    I think I will - I might try for a street trader's licence - so that I can stand on the street outside A and flog to the muggles all the stuff I get quite cheap for the four times that price that they are clearly willing to pay!:eek::rotfl:
