    I had tried to post my wombles, but lost my post on the first one and have never got back round to going through them again - now a day later. It would take ages to load them all back, one by one, and discuss them in detail - and probably not much point in doing that anyway. So, I'll provide a summary. I liked one of them because of the pattern of its pricing: items, some of them cheaper and more expensive against M, they got A mbuy vs M and some items at full A price that compared against M mix and match mbuy - I think it's the patterning: we see the first A mbuy item, then the first M mbuy (A full price), then one cheaper for M, then one more expensive for M, then one more cheaper in M, then the A mbuy item against M higher price sadly but then the A full price item and the M mix and match price:rotfl:. It obviously evened out but gave a voucher!

    I also got the one where they bought 2 packs of frozen sprouts, paying one pound each:eek: - they compared against T at 80p each of course, so a straight overpayment of 40p across the packs - but they put items that were cheaper in A into their basket and ended up not even with the difference on the sprouts - just 32p offered:(. Basically a mixed-up shop: they also bought other frozen veg. (SP) but which compares against M at similar price but is N/A vs T, items for S that were cheaper but more expensive there and offset and lost out on the W comp and the M comp. as well as slashing much on the T comp. too.

    And I got the one where someone bought a single bottle of 33 wash Comfort at full price £3.30(:rotfl:) - compared against £2 at M and at S:T but lost vs M as they put too much cheaper in (probably those A mbuy shampoos that are high price at M:() and only got a small voucher vs S:(. The Comfort has probably still not got the mbuy showing on the shelving in my A:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - you can't save money by looking at the SELs in the stores! (Especially not the store you are shopping in:laugh: (need to be looking at a competitor's prices, not your own store's prices even if they display them!).)

    I had a £4.70 though:D. Just not 10% cheaper.

    Finally, I had one that looked like it was going to be the best of the bunch from today - but (:rotfl:)many of the rest were better and that one gave nowt. I thought it would be good because I saw high prices on dog food (turned out to be largely non-comp:(), thought there was some alcohol as it has 25 age required on the receipt but they turn out, on closer inspection, to be small bottles so don't give much - £1.85 vs £1.85 elsewhere price match:( hence just 18.5p - some Quality Street tub at £4 but it's more expensive elsewhere (but £4 at T - but then they also bought items that didn't compare well against T).

    They also bought a £12 gift set:D, which I was hoping might be some pounds cheaper elsewhere - but it turns out to be a complete fail to appear:(. BC is 503858 double zero 6144 and missing digit in case that helps with anything.

    Alright, I've saved myself a lot of time going through the receipts - and basically that's the same information as you would have had - I'm elsewhere enjoying a bit of music at the moment in fact - so, a bit of a night off from the Elite (sort of:laugh:) - and back at M tomorrow for a nice price collection (I do like it really:rotfl::naughty:) and I've already got my stuff for that prepared, wayhey!:j:D:rotfl::rotfl:.:cool:

    See you later:wave:!:beer:

    Yesterday I worked 8am to 11pm and got home at 1. You know when you're peeved at why the traffic was terrible then read why? I really don't understand people. I hope the people that were hurt are recovering.

    You are one lovely lady, PD. :T

    Just taken over 3 hrs to drive under 80 miles. :eek::eek: Then thought of the people involved in the accidents. They weren't going anywhere. :( Makes you feel really guilty worrying about time. :o
