    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Shop done at 10:48.

    Used 5 Barilla vouchers. Forgot my mobile so couldn't check which compared to M. 2 of the 5 didn't. Not complaining though, just over £4 for all of the below.
    [...]
    1x BARILLA SPAGHETTI 500G
    £1.50 n/a n/a £0.75
    1x BARILLA PENNE RIGATE 500G
    £1.50 n/a n/a £0.75
    1x BARILLA TORTIGLIONI 500G
    £1.50 n/a n/a n/a
    1x BARILLA FUSILLI 500G
    £1.50 n/a n/a £0.75
    1x BARILLA CONCHIGLIE RIGATE 500G
    £1.50 n/a n/a n/a
    Tesco comparable total £0.40 £0.50 £15.10
    Competitor shop total £0.40 £0.50 £3.33
    The difference £0.00 £0.00 £11.77 * the same the same cost less

    Bumping for TrulyMadly. Some of the Barillas that compared, and did not, Tvs M the other day on this shop. Plus the Sauces should have all worked but I gather the Arrabbiata sauce does not - so, maybe buy that to be able to complain (both at the till/SS and afterwards) that you're paying more and take it up with both the store and HO - should be at least the difference and £5MC? The other sauces are reported working as mentioned in a post below.

    im putting 10p in the jukebox. it's not our usual kind of song but it's my 10p and I can spend it how I like

    All those that have been there, stuck with me, listened to my ravings, hugged me, kicked me up the butt, made me laugh, told me to get a grip when I cried.....there should be about a penny each for you :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    :p

    I must admit Savvy, the 3p difference wasn't at the front of my mind when I was getting nearly £19 off the Coke Zero's

    It appears the 22p at M is correct (According to MSM)

    TRezU9w.jpg

    Yes indeed, the Coke Zero was the far better offer:rotfl::rotfl:.

    But, there you are, my memory eh:D:D. I don't need msm, a.com, TBG, anything, I just know:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Maybe a nice item to add onto a small shop vs M with nothing really glitchy, making sure everything is same price or cheaper at M, perhaps MOCs being used, and kick up a nice big fuss about not getting the 3p off and therefore having to pay more - could see a £5 goodwill moneycard:D:rotfl::money:.
