Receipt from yesterday 7pm:

Vs M
1x ASDA Butcher's Selection Pork Lean Mince (500G) £3.00 £1.75

Unfortunately:
1x Baileys The Original Irish Cream (1LT) £10.00 £15.00:mad::mad:
That's now becoming one of my least favourite items on wombles!:mad:(:rotfl:) Even with that, they managed to be 10% cheaper by only 43p on the complete shop.

I think it's turned what would have been a £3.07 womble against M into a £1.06:( one vs T. Really stupid item to buy in A at the moment:rotfl::rotfl:. Unless you're buying it by itself and :laugh:using wombles to pay for it.

Blimey! The £1 16gb flashdrive I bought yesterday has just arrived, now that is quick.

Afternoon all - hope all those on the sick list are bearing up manfully.

Its vile outside, you really don't want to go there if you can help it, take a full selection of pain killers and curl up on the sofa, order everything online for free delivery or instore delivery and then when anyone asks if they can help give them a list of shops you have orders waiting to collect

My eldest son and his GF are in Germany this weekend, went over on Thursday and they have real proper sticking to the hills and mountains snow unlike the drizzle and general misery we are having is mild in comparison

I thought Cadbury Fingers were 2 for £1.50 at A? Unless you're buying some different ones? You want the individual price £1 - 4g more. Unless T is requiring you to stick to its 2 for £2 ones. Otherwise, what are you doing buying 2 for £2 instead of the 2x£1 one?

Sadly the White Chocolate version 125g turns out to be 114g instore in A. For me anyway, unless there's some 125g versions that I'm missing out on. It seems to me to be the weight on a.com hasn't changed. So, sadly, I think White Chocolate version - 114g - in T or S won't work since it says 125g on a.com. Nonetheless I did have a weight issue on a product on Sains BM a year ago and it still worked. Probably old data in the system.

The Cadburys Milk Chocolate Fingers (114g) were (maybe are?) 80p in Aldi according to msm, but 2 for £1.50 at A beats that - but only when they are having you buying more and thus paying them at least £1.50:( and not 80p.

75p each (but having to buy two:( - which, apparently, you were considering doing so in any event:)) is, IMO, a very good price for Cadbury's Fingers - excluding the W offer on a much bigger pack (that all got scoffed in about one go anyway so it didn't save me any money:mad:) that was really much better price per unit (I think 45-odd p per 100g instead of 65.8p:eek: per 100g). I often see Cadbury's Fingers at hopeless 90-odd p 'offer' pricing.

And whilst msm has all sorts of "savvy" buys that remain way expensive for me and are at least twice the cost I'd pay, being useless "half" price offers that are very regularly seen and therefore about 50% off 'average' price:wall:, it misses this one which is a more rare price and, IMO, better value:

Average price in UK over the last 12 months
Today, 29% below average

Needs to be 30% to mark as a "savvy buy":wall:. It's hopeless their computer - worse than me:rotfl::rotfl:.

However - for 75p pricing, of course, you get very little chocolate. Only 114g packs - seems a very good way of giving people very little for a higher price. 100g SP Chocolate is 30p (or 27p vs T or M) - would be much cheaper than paying for expensive Fingers packs. Just because we need them in 'fingers' form... It's also nowhere near as good as 300g Toblerones at 67.5p. It's more than twice the cost!:eek::eek: So, in that sense, not a moneysaver and not completely Elite - very expensive finger chocolate product! However, it is at about its good non-glitched price for these. Seems to have been a weight reduction from 125g to 114g:( - even worse, in effect makes it even more expensive now!

Don't get into thinking there are any regular unseen mbuy glitches on TBG. The wines one is specifically one that is operating in accordance with the T&Cs as those ones are category-wide offers and therefore are not to be taken into account when doing the comparison. This is specifically following rule 14b of the T&Cs. The wine comparisons are therefore not glitches. A "glitch" is an error or a mistake or something being the way it shouldn't be. These are not glitches: they are the system operating in the correct way in which it should operate according to the T&Cs. I'm not aware of any greater mbuy glitching on the T system: as far as I know I've virtually only seen mbuys get accounted for in the comps: T mbuys always show on the system unless the promotion is an excluded one under the T&Cs - or, for example (again in accordance with the T&Cs and therefore not a glitch), if you buy a 12 for ... offer where 11 are the exact same and only 10 are compared, therefore full prices as one of them is excluded in accordance with T's claim of discretion. It would be more accurate to say that we are using the rules to our benefit and advantage.

Needless to say I was in town very early including marks so inevitably when we got back there was a Marks mailing with a £15 card voucher to be used on beauty
Just wondering what to do with it as there is nothing I really need and no time to do it in. I got one of the marks beauty advent calendars so it may be years before I need anything again.
I am wondering if it would work with an online order, re order the candles I already bought previously for a collection date in December when I know I can get into town.
Then do a return tomorrow of the previous order even though it will mess up my sparks points totals

My sparks points - I made an excel chart for them as points were very slow to update in the first few weeks. Oddly online it's now showing that I have more points than I reckon I ought to have. In fact after this weekend I might even be over 3000 which would mean next Thursday I might be up to the next level of offers.

OH said this morning it's very complicated in my world :rotfl:

Good afternoon Elite.

Hope everyone is warm, well and happy. Hugs to those not so. Feeling a bit behind the curve with no wine and no cidre. Must try harder to keep up! But it's a little wet and windy here right now so might just settle in with my newly acquired Now TV movies pass.

Have a great day all.
