Everyone Lost In The Ether

A shocking occurrence in T today. Another 'woman in front' story. The woman in front...the customer in front of me at T bought a 1.5Kg bag of McCains frozen chips. Probably at T's expensive offer price of £2. If only she had picked the Chunky Cut instead of the Straight Cut and had chosen 1Kg instead of 1.5Kg, she may well have then paid much less. Chunky Cut 1Kg 96p in M. So, buying two of those - T shelf price of £2.60 each! - might have got 500g more product and paid 8p less than what she paid. At £2.60 x2 vs M at a total of £1.92 would have contributed over £3 to a discount! After she'd paid, I saw her receipt come out - she had still managed to pick up branded items that were 42p more expensive in total than somewhere else:rotfl:. So, even then, T's shelf price on her brands was too expensive. She doubtless slashed it down by some other purchase in her basket. And I suspect it just means the £2:eek: McCains - I thought "how expensive is this going to be?" before I saw it scanned - and it turned out £2:eek:. - was the same £2 elsewhere but her expensive branded loo rolls were probably just 42p cheaper elsewhere. Still way expensive - and, of course, she's, shockingly, paid £2 for the McCains chips:wall: instead of my price of cheaper for more! Or even less for a much cheaper price by weight. I acknowledge the Chunky Cut may be bigger chips and see people consuming more (if they aren't careful) - however the 500g extra would surely have made up for that and would, on M's price, have been 8p less than what she paid in total. Or she could have just got 1Kg of chips, if she just really needed that, rather than getting a bigger pack (of perhaps 500g more than she needed) because of some 'offer' price on it on the store that she was in, that is still much worse than a price (by weight) on the same brand elsewhere.

I got skittles the other day and whilst I was there another lady came and got the smaller twice the price bag. I pointed out the price per grams to her and she just walked off. Nutter:eek:

Hi everyone.Not often I get in Lidl but today I got the smelly Madame Glamour for the first time.Knowing that a few of you buy it I thought I'd try it.Must say I like it very much.Shelves were full so I may go back.

:rotfl: I did that yesterday too, not often I go in the direction of lidl but I'm impressed. I squirted some on my hand and could still smell it at 7pm. Nice to keep in my office drawer without the worry of someone borrowing it;)

It looks like the elite are going to have a very merry christmas with all the cheap booze we are buying.

We arn't really beer drinkers ...but is the hobgoblin a "beer" type beer or more of a lager?

think we could manage it if it were light in colour and flavour but not if its got a real beer feel to it.

Just asked the expert the blue hobgoblin is a dark ruby ale nothing like a lager.

The gold hobgoblin and the golden hen are pale ales so bit like a lager but definitely a beer if that makes sense.
