A v M/W

2x Walkers Cheese & Onion (6X25G) £2.50 £2.00

There you are - I missed out vs M by a few hours:(:rotfl:.

...No good enough price though:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - at least twice what I'd pay_pale_!

In Savvy's style though, I'd have it slightly differently;).

Should be:

Avs M
2x Walkers Cheese & Onion (6X25G) £2.50 £2.00

And
Avs W
2x Walkers Cheese & Onion (6X25G) £2.50 £2.00

:rotfl:
Obviously not the same thing vs both stores at all:rotfl::rotfl:.
(And with apologies to Northern Ireland:o:o:rotfl:.)

Or perhaps £2.50:rotfl:.

The tinned rice is repeating on me. Or I guess it could be the blueberry jam. Not eaten any rice pudding for years, I used to buy if for my mum and DD1 used to eat it too but I haven't been able to offload any on to her as it is OOD. :eek:

Mr TS ate the WW soup for lunch yesterday, 2 tins but only last years date. :cool:

I guess I ought to do you all a before pic of the larder. :rotfl:

I also finished a box of SpecK this morning (2013). :rotfl:

I loved the basic teabags in sainsburys but will not buy them now with this big increase. I will try Tesco value as these are the next cheapest but when I bought them a few years back they did not match sainsbury's basics.They are still 20p for 40. I might also given morrisons ones a try with the tesco gift voucher. Asda's work out a bit dearer. Anyone else tried the basic range teabags in the other supermarkets and if so, what are they like?

They've all gone up in price, and with other stores changing pack sizes as well so that A do not 10% cheaper them:(. M remain at the same size and the only one now comparable to A's though the price comp. Avs M on these can be haphazard (may compare one occasion then not the next) - M went up in price 27p to 34p:( (but they were still comparable to T at 27p, then T changed its pack size and they were not:mad:) - A have gone up in price - then M up in price again to 40p:(.

T's pack size is now half the size but, at 20p, it is itself an increase that works out to the same 40p for 80.

Despite about three items having come down in price, Basics are almost consistently dearer and the Sains. shopper will pay more almost throughout for the 'lowest price' range and sometimes twice the cost. I'm sorry - even if there is any better quality (as Sains would claim), I don't think twice as much reflects the quality. I now see that at the Tea at 40p for 20:eek:, they are now twice the price of everywhere else! The only good is that Mr T has removed the Basics items from its price comparison scheme.

I saw one the other day that was twice the cost in Sains compared to everywhere else (except W, which doesn't have a "value" range - but then they are a different market) - let me and go and find it again and point it graphically out! This is how much extra you are paying if you shop in Sains. and buy its Basics range. Total it up across a whole shopping basket - and it is quite an amount!! There are some people whose main amount of shopping consists of 'value'-range items - I had one womble once where every item was a SP item:eek: (and no it wasn't ten per cent cheaper on the shop, as almost every item was the same price elsewhere:T (except Sains of course which was completely irrelevant:D)). If your shop is mainly Basics items, then you could be nearly doubling the cost of your shopping! Spending £40 in Sains. (and no BM as they are not branded items) instead of £20 elsewhere.

Thanks bubbs but wont be rushing out for this as Mr TS doesn't like it. I am guessing they mean the store on the Quay. There are quite a few expresses dotted around Poole.

This is probably going to turn into a sequence now:rotfl:.

A simple item.

Sainsbury's Basics Rice Pudding (400g)



30p 7.5p / 100g

• 
  15p
• 
  15p
• 
  15p

There's the first one for you, it wasn't that one which I saw earlier but another. Is Rice Pudding from S really worth twice as much as everywhere else?:think:

And, for the record, there is actually one slightly different weight elsewhere so we should reflect that. T's rice pudding can is slightly larger, so S is actually more than twice the cost of T.

If you buy "value" range rice pudding from S, you are paying at least twice the cost of T, A and M (unless you get some Nectar points beyond what is normal, but then you are still paying twice the cost in order to get those points, so I think we'll ignore my devious point in parentheses again).

Thank you for the coffee recommendation....but......before I caught up with your post I received an email from Tassimo for £10 off a £35 spend
Free delivery kicked in before the £10 came off so I got 8 packs of Costa Americano for £24.92:T
