I thought it went up to 2.6 more recently? You're out of date!:D
It's an average. Some of us have had grown-up children and are no longer with our parents and don't have our own kids.

i suppose thats immigration for you. and rising all the time at a rate larger than the born nationals can multiply.

As soon as you mention they make it so difficult that you might as well shop elsewhere...:D:rotfl: (Don't do that, please, we beg you not!:D)

:rotfl: about having to buy fewer than three so as to make their life easier!

I had the same experience with the Maltesers. I saw only £1 on the SEL so I went asked CS if the tubes were on mbuy. CS person said "I'll go and check for you." "But I've already looked - they say £1 but are they?" I explained I had seen them online on mbuy and the CS person insisted that they were £1 saying that the prices instore aren't the same as online. They weren't therefore going to check how they scanned for me, which was what I'd wanted. So :(I ended up having to check them on SS first myself and, surprise surprise the SEL said £1 - no indication of any mbuy - but the Maltesers were on 3 for £2. They know absolutely nothing. I had a very brief moment, after my shop, of feeling like going back to tell her they were on mbuy after all (and thank you for being so helpful:rotfl:) or at least showing her the receipt "saving". However, I thought why even bother?

I'm sure if I have a similar situation in future and were to go to CS first - though to be fair this experience makes me not want even to bother as it would be pointless because - I'd be saying "I know the shelf does not say any mbuy but are they really not on mbuy?" and, doubtless, getting the response that, if the SEL doesn't say it, then they can't be. Absolutely totally wrong - they know nowt! "Well, can you check?" "Well, no, because the SEL says that":wall:. I never take the absence of an mbuy from a SEL to mean that there isn't a multibuy offer in existence on them.

Of course I should just read this thread:doh: (need to do so more thoroughly before I leave to go to the store - but, to be fair, it's time consuming) - you all here know far more what the real prices are than the stores.

i think most of us on here have had that feeling and said why bother then the next day wish they had :rotfl:

:eek:Buy in Sains.

Sainsbury's Basics Tomatoes (450g)



65p £1.44 / Kg

• 
  75p

T's version is 500g, but works out slightly more expensive per 100g. I'm only looking at this because I'm doing the Lidl list (to what point I don't know as won't have the weekend specials on there) and Baby Plum Tomatoes (250g) expensive Morrisons £1 (bet they're glad they don't price-match:laugh: and people will still buy them at £1 there) are 39p in Lidl, but, almost impossible to believe I know, Sains turn out to have tomatoes cheaper. That is if I can trust Msm price collectors to pick up all the tomatoes that are available in Aldi - do you think we can trust that there aren't any additional ones there that aren't on msm.co.uk?:think::(:rotfl:

Unfortunately, I can never trust anything. So, unless there are some in Aldi that are better price per unit, it appears that S Basics are the best price per unit for tomatoes (of any type of 'fresh' - of course, if you want specifically Baby Plum...:wall:).

It's not going to get anything, in the sense of get me any money. I didn't feel there was any point bothering - I didn't mean there was no point bothering to check the SELs are correct - that part is absolutely essential to check - and, always, surprise surprise, they turn out to have the mbuy on scanning!

Anyway, it's more difficult for me, as a person who has autistic spectrum disorder, to go up to someone and tell someone something like that. I either don't always get the right tone (totally unitentionally - it just doesn't come out right), hover over them unintentionally as if threateningly (but there isn't any) or else don't know quite how to put what I want to say - I have to think it all out, every word, in advance and rehearse it before I can then go and do it. And if some unexpected reply comes forward, I don't necessarily know what to say - or ad lib and never say what I wanted to (then :doh: I remember later that I should have said something and missed it out). I can discuss things and ask questions, quite fine, like "can you check this for me, it says £1 on the shelf but is it really?" - and then get the wrong reply since they simply do not know the correct answer - but, as for then going up and someone and telling them they were wrong... I've learned not ever to do that anymore because I got into so much trouble automatically doing it and blurting out whenever anyone was ever wrong when I was much younger. I therefore now no longer tell anyone much in RL when they are wrong. (I just look back, watch from afar and, years later, think "I'd have told you so" when I see their plans inevitably fail because the person was always wrong from the outset - more fool them, if only they could have listened to me!) I get ignored by people in the wider world, who don't think I'm right and think they know best. They never do!:D

My response (more internal and shrug of my shoulders) is "oh, well, go on...do it your way". And then the result is inevitable failure, they then finally realise they are wrong (years after I could have told them so) and then...surprise surprise they change and do it the way I would have told them from the first place and then, what a surprise, it turns out to be successful!

People should really listen to the autistic person. Such a person is often extremely right. In a way, the shame is that it's a communications disorder and therefore the whole problem is getting my message across in the first place.

I would rather write a letter or email - it's much easier - but face-to-face... no.

Folks,

It's because I'm right!

Okay, I'm not right all the time, on every occasion, and I don't always get everything right and I've never claimed to. However, I do think that I get things right more than most people do or would and that I am certainly right a lot more often than I am wrong.

So, listen to me okay;):cool:.

Of course, you do not have to listen to me and you can choose not to do so. However, in my opinion, my contention is that, if you don't choose to do so, then it is very likely that what I say will turn out to have been correct and doing it your way, without paying any listening to me and deciding, nonetheless, you knew best and the contrary approach was the way, will quite likely turn out to be a way that doesn't succeed or doesn't succeed as well as mine.:) So often I've seen people abandon their own plans that don't turn out to be working only then to adopt a method that I was thinking of or suggesting all along!:idea:

I'm going to bed for a cuddle.

I'm lucky someone still loves me enough to just give me a cuddle. I've slept a lot today. I kept falling asleep at inappropriate times. no one minded. every time I woke up there was someone there

for my big friend LFAB

Don't know if this helps - might help me when I keep on posting:rotfl:! That helps find and lead straight back to the Lidl list. [Now updated, to last Thursday.]
