2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0 -
Just to tell you know, as I haven't got 'control' of the M list at the moment, that the Italian Beef Lasagne is picking up £3 price for M and not £1:
1x ASDA Italian Beef Lasagne (400G) £2.00 £3.00:(
I suggested how easy it was to pick up wombles for £1+; however, not this one as it is well more than 10% cheaper! That comparison didn't matter anyway:
1x Nesquik Strawberry Milkshake Mix (300G) £1.00 £1.97:(
1x Nesquik Chocolate Milkshake Mix (300G) £1.00 £1.97:(
1x ASDA Garlic & Herb Baguette Slices (290G) £1.00 £1.47:(
1x Prosecco Extra Dry (75CL) £5.00 £10.00:eek:
1x Bold 2in1 Washing Liquid Lotus & Lily 24 Washes (1.2LT) £3.00 £5.97:(
1x ASDA SmartPrice Jaffa Cakes (135G) £0.35 N/A:rotfl:
1x Kellogg's Coco Pops (550G) £2.00 £2.00:wall::wall:
Yet again! I have no idea why the wombles keep getting these:
2x Fairy Original Lemon Washing Up Liquid (500ML):huh: £2.00 N/A
What it is with Fairy Original 500ml at the moment? I've now had three wombles and they have all bought it. Is it just that it is on 2 for £2 (obviously they have all bought it twice)? Pretty expensive given that earlier Fairy Liquid was 50p (which :rotfl:they would not have known as that was never marked on my store's shelf - said £1 there - thanks earlier Anon for that!).
They keep buying these:(. which are not even 500ml these days but 400ml - I would require a lot more than 400ml if I am going to consider 50p as even remotely good. Fortunately they are not losing vs M at the moment, although they are only adding 5p each:( - promptly then completely lost by buying far worse items:
1x Yazoo Strawberry Milk Drink (400ML) £0.50:( £0.50
1x Yazoo Chocolate Milk Drink (400ML) £0.50:p:mad::( £0.50
So, just to know to avoid Beef Lasagne vs M at the moment. And avoid anyway as A's price is twice the cost of what it has been in M! I had another comp. today, from earlier in the week, where some Buxton water picked up the price of £3.14 for M rather than the £2 that msm is showing that it has been in M for the last several weeks:(. So, the APG was £2.20 - and it was vs M - but should have been somewhat more. It's come out as A cheaper (by a few pence), but, with £2 for the water, M would have been cheaper on the overall shop. I wish I didn't look into these things too much:rotfl:. As to Buxton water being £2 in M, I wouldn't know as I wouldn't ever consider such an expensive price for water:rotfl:.
The only other bad comp. vs M on that shop (water picked up M much more expensive than A) was some Cadbury 12 Mini Rolls. So, the item that really loses, is the A r'back item that, very probably, gets them to purchase it because it has "rolled back" at £1.50 but not nearly rolled back to the price that somewhere else is at the moment. So that is an overpayment vs T, which is currently £1.37!0 -
No, Your not the only one that hasn't been to Sainsbury's, I haven't either.
Road closure, school etc par for the course. Said very tongue in cheek, shouldn't your 'supposedly' be 'allegedly'? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Rhos...how are the wedding plans going...not too stressful I hope.I've probably missed lots but have you got some ideas for your outfit yet?
I think I may have caught a glimpse of a beautiful navy dress the other day but think that might be Qoc's....I loved it..I had navy blue bridesmaids once upon a time!
Wedding plans are going well, for both girls thanks. Brides, bridesmaid, and flower girls all sorted i have started buying food and doi g what i can.
i still have no outfit :eek: the lovely dress was qoc. I have seen a few and am short listing may get lots sent then try them on and return what I don't like .0 -
oh no!!
I must admit it is the coughing that's so annoying, I couldn't lie down last night in bed but was propped up by 6 pillows:eek: it eased the coughing a little
this is the first cold I have had for over a year ....and I don't like it
I am feeling like a right wuss with my moaning now that I know you and tweets have been putting up with this much longer than me.
Hope you both feel better soon. :A
I think the problem is I was rather naughty and never went back for my "healthy" check after my bronchitis last summer.When it started Friday I sounded like an engine I was really out of it with temperature too. I should have gone back before now when I was ok, it has actually frightened me so I am definitely booking in for the check with the nurse. Thankfully I still had some steroid inhaler left which has helped loads.

I did far better on the petrol than the instore points yesterday...my 2000 came via petrol where I had filled 2 green plastic cans with a total of £10.01....the guy infront of me also got 2000 so I was really surprised when the cashier gave me my till spit too.
Are we having to spend £10.01 rather than exact £10?0 -

Might be worth taking a course of Echinacea possibly?0 -

Hth. But remember it ends today. x
Oh it's ended today - I thought it was tomorrow!:eek::(
So I need to go to CS by 21 February but then the extra points do not expire and last on the card "forever"? I do not have to spend the points by 21 February?
Petrol stations will be closed by now won't they? I presume paying at the pump could still be done though and would still dish out a Swipe and Win coupon? I am correct on this? TIA. (Sorry for all the questions!)0
