    Thank you - with APG this becomes £8 a case/50p a can which is pretty much as cheap as it gets these days.

    Ocado glitch over. Min spend now £80.

    Check your orders though if you have a delivery date from tomorrow because they have removed the £20 off code on some people's accounts.

    Those who ordered last night and have a delivery for today should be alright.

    Thank you - I couldn't get a slot for today so had originally planned a delivery for tomorrow. I spent ages last night trying to find things I needed to maximise it (I find it a struggle spending on items when I don't really need anything and the items I wanted were a little too expensive for my liking on Ocado :o). I fell asleep before placing the order and never got round to finalising it today.

    All in all, must try harder though now they have been cancelled I can move on from any regrets (on this one anyway!).

    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:

    I find that whenever I try pointing out better deals I may as well be talking in Klingon. I had one the other week where it was BOGOF on Doritos (IIRC) and a man was walking off with only one ... I tried pointing out the VERY LARGE sign that said BOGOF/2 for 1 or whatever and got a blank look - the situation was only saved as his girlfriend overheard what I said, gave him a nudge in the ribs and picked up another pack!

    :eek: I don't believe it!

    Just read to the right that Virgin Media have announced above inflation rises AGAIN coming in on 1st February - they are currently running on what must be two rises a year.

    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/broadband/2015/11/how-to-beat-virgin-media-broadband-and-tv-price-hikes?_ga=1.185315689.1517197048.1402934389

    This may be the push I need to ditch - although we enjoy superfast broadband and broadly the Tivos/TV service , a rise of over £15 on £40 in the space of less than two years is really pushing it.

    It may be time to move to one of the other Fibre deals in my area :(.

    I should have known with the recently announced "free" speed upgrade that the price rise would soon follow as they have an increasing history on this.
