Everyone Lost In The Ether

forced myself out early evening to get some coke, I thought that would work until tomorrow - obviously not, I shall return some of it at some point at that price lol x

Savvybuyer

More than twice the cost. Again, this wasn't the item I saw earlier.

Sainsbury's Basics Nappy Bags (100)



25p 0.3p / Sack

12p

TrulyMadly

Forgot to mention.....also at Tassimo if you spend over £40 use the code to get a free coffee disc dispenser.

Not quite twice the cost - but I think Sains has 'always' (or at least long) been out of line price-wise:

Sainsbury's Basics Vinegar (568ml)



40p 7p / 100ml

• 
  21p
• 
  21p

The one that got me last was seeing the price of the Salted Peanuts. I think Sains are well expensive on those.


And look at this compared to T and A:eek::


Sainsbury's Basics All Purpose Cleaner (1L)



80p 8p / 100ml

• 
  25p
• 
  25p
• 
  50p

If you buy just three or four Basics items you are adding several pence on each one of them to your shopping bill! And, buy those, or other three/four, every week and over the year the pennies amount up into pounds!

I can't find the item, it must have been the Rice Pudding after all:rotfl:. I have of course taken some of the most marked differences and highlighted them - I did the opposite for the Avs S list. But it has to be said (or maybe it doesn't but I'm saying it anyway:p and drawing LOUD attention to it -

SAINSBURY'S YOU ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE ON YOUR BASICS ITEMS!

) that the items on which they're not higher priced are very much fewer than the ones on which they are. Even items such as Furniture Polish - 6p mark-up for buying S version, Gel Air Freshener 11p more expensive than T (I won't try to compare Morries as there's different weights and my maths at the moment will prove to be my undoing:laugh:) - Long Grain Rice 20p more expensive, Coffee S 60p, A and M 47p, so another 13p onto your bill compared to shopping at either of there. I think Fromage Frais is 8p more expensive. Chocolate Mousse - S Basics costs 50p:eek:. Though it is a six pack - although A have moved to that and they charge 27p (so 23p more - this really is amounting to pounds - even if you only have four in a year, you are nearly at £1 more expensive just from one item). Apple Pies 5p more, Flour 55p (10p more expensive than T/M/A) - the list could just go on - and, with Savvy, it probably would do - but someone best just slap my hands... (or maybe a comprehensive list would be a useful thing?:think:) Even when S are the same price as elsewhere, e.g. the Salt at 25p, the version is S is significantly smaller (S 750g, T and M 1kg each).

Thanks TM I have signed up to their emails in the hope I might get a discount. Can you used two codes at the same time with them?

Must check with DD2 as it's her machine and I know she ordered online with a code that came with the machine so she may have been sent another as she has had it nearly a year now.

Managed to get a pick of my free gift from Boots today, looks like 2 things missing from what was thought to be in it. The leaflet inside says both options for 6 of the things and Option 2 for the 2 things I don't so guess there are levels of free gift. But still a nice freebie.

The nail varnish sets are in the background, shame not more of us managed to get this one.

That looks a good freebie :T

I noticed that Mr A (at least in my area) has put petrol down by another penny a litre:T. Morries have yet to catch up (as of yesterday, I suspect they will have followed suit by tomorrow) but I can tell that the Sains. that is not that far away from me but is too close to a Mr A has now followed suit, because the Sains that is closest to me is now exactly 1.2p per litre more expensive than A!:D

With the extra Nectar points on fuel for the next few days (till the end of the month), some of us are now, in effect, getting under £1 per litre petrol. Should be, for me, 98.9p (taking into account the points) compared to Mr A £1.03.7. So I think Mr S (more so the right Mr S:D) is good for that at the moment.

However, I have started shopping in T which is quite close to me now even though my closest is (the more expensive of the S's fuels:() S. What I think I might do is hold off a little from shopping until I need a few more items and then buy my usual Eday Value items and take advantage of a few Sains branded offers in T. That's if there are any brands that are any good value on offer prices of course:rotfl:, which I doubt:D:cool::rotfl:.

Savvy Buy Morrisons?:question: Don't they realise these were 2 for £2 earlier in the year when I bagged mine for Christmas?:rotfl:

Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts (460g)

£1.96:(

Maynards Wine Gums (460g)

£1.96 (tut, shakes head):rotfl:

Anyone who has come late to the Elite thread - commiserations - otherwise, everyone else, should have got theirs back then - I did say, at the time, that I didn't think we would see another offer as good as the shortlived 2 for £2.

Just get some Dominion's bags from Aldi and fill a carton full of those;):rotfl:.
