    I am trying ;) My shops are generally around a tenner unless I'm buying baking ingredients and I've been walking more, needing less petrol.

    Better dash, two more batches of cupcakes to ice. I plan to send an invoice to Tate & Lyle tomorrow for the time I've wasted! I had a 3kg bag of duff icing sugar. Apparently they've changed the anti caking agent in it which makes buttercream turn into a weird gritty play doh like paste. Wasted 1kg of butter and 3 pots of cocoa before I figured out what was wrong and had to dash out for more ingredients. Wondering how much time wasted I can charge them for too :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I 'wombled' an MOC for some milk from M from an A car park the other day. Turned out to be two days expired:mad:.

    As for that Pantyliners "deal", does it work out a good offer? Well, let's see...

    Well, with Sains. being more expensive than elsewhere:(, that has to be factored in. And 40 points is just 20p (and can't be spent until you reach exact £2.50 amount or whatever). So:

    Sainsbury's Basics Pantyliners (30)


    Store_3.15px.png
    30p 1p / Pantyliner
    • Store_1.15px.png
      22p
    • Store_8.15px.png
      22p
    • Store_2.15px.png
      22p **

    So, yes it does work out better. Assuming it's valid for S Basics, and if you need them already. Otherwise, no sense in spending just to get the points it seems to me.

    I don't know if people have noticed - but A seems to be going OOS/discontinuing some SP items - and thus putting up the cost of our shopping there, and that includes whether we use wombles or not. This being an example - they don't seem to stock SP Pantyliners anymore. SP Conditioner (24p) and SP Shampoo (20p) are also, it seems, long gone. Even SP Maxi Towels (which, if I'm right, was lately the cheapest SP item available in A - and comparable against M:D at 14p) appear to have gone. I'm nearly ready to move the Pantyliners to T and to M. (The Maxi Towels have already gone that way - to M as T doesn't stock.) However, it may work out better buying Pantyliners in Sains. for some people, depending on what offers you have.

    Actually, the Basics Garlic:eek: appears to work out cheaper than 2 from A for 50p (or maybe 2 for 40p?), unless you are a wombler.

    Sainsbury's Basics Garlic (2)


    Store_3.15px.png
    35p 17.5p / Garlic


    Assuming they are a decent size garlic in the Basics version:mad:. Or, maybe best to wait for a 3 or 4 pack in M to go down to 50p:rotfl:.
