    What - is that a really good womble? Seeing the potential mix on Pringles.

    I overheard one of the older customers in my store pointing out an £18.50:eek: price one of the alcohol bottles and saying that it is a good price. Little do they think it goes down to £15:rotfl:. Always live in hope someone might pick up one or more:D of those for me as they are there on the end of the aisle with big red £18.50 pricing loudly announced from them! As if they're an offer at that price:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Just so much trouble buying SP fillers on vs S shops:rotfl:. I kept muttering about how Sains is so expensive on many of its items!!:rotfl::rotfl: Could I pick Pineapple tin instead?:think: I didn't know, off hand. I knew Peaches were fine, as I had them as an alternative on my original list. At one stage, I counted out my items and, I think, got a look from a couple of passing shoppers. Probably wondering what I needed to count them for:rotfl:, as I went past saying "Just another one, I need eight!".

    Answer: is technically no, (okay it's only about 4 pence) it looks like it's best vs T! Woop, woop...:j:rotfl:

    In the past, I'd have been able to say it was best vs T, but now, given that the data is no longer from msm, I can only say it looks like it is:(.

    So that's now carried forward as a potential filler to whenever I next do vs T. But then I don't need to be doing SP tins vs T as it's much easier finding other, cheaper items that don't lose out.

    4 pence, weight adjustment;) (let's hope they don't adjust this one as T is slightly smaller:rotfl:).

    Well I never ... :o. The typical serving of Cracker Crisps for the nutritional value is 25g ... Not the complete 150g pack of S&V that I just ate :eek:

    Happy to report that they last about the distance from A to home :)

    Not bad but not sure i would buy them again (at full price).

    And another thing, who designed the bags for French sticks? Few other loaves require bags they can easily escape from :mad:

    Maybe we should start a campaign for sealed bags :)

    What kills me is the 'ridiculous' servings of 30g for cereals. How anyone ever has that little is beyond me:rotfl:. We get through a whole box of 750g of cereal, if it's a popular one:(, in one week:(.

    Loads of people will start buying the JCC once those 2 for £2 SELs start appearing:rotfl: (maybe :( as probably cuts comps. down to vs Sains and they'll undoubtedly put it with items that lose vs there and then put some otherwise good items vs T but then mix in these and cut the voucher value, if any, down).
