    The thing with insurance companies as well is they promote all this about if this should happen, you'll be covered - and, then, if it does happen, they put your premiums up thereafter for several years as you are now a greater risk:p. Even regardless of whether you actually made it a claim or not. Otherwise you risk committing fraud if you don't tell them that something happened that you paid for yourself (despite having insurance supposedly to cover that because making a claim would either make you even more risky or, with you paying the excess anyway, would not cost you much more to pay the full lot out compared to the premium increase if you made it a formal claim, then lost the ability to say you hadn't made a claim for X years) and, then, if they find out, by sharing everything about you from previous companies and central databases that they all have access to, and send you a letter cancelling your policy, you'd have to inform them that you had ever have a policy declined or cancelled and then the premiums anywhere (in the few places that would then insure you at all) would be thousands more!

    So, you pay for insurance but never ever then use it. Or, if you do, you then pay more in future.

    I have to pay £60 more a year potentially every year for the next foreseeable years as some stupid woman ran into my car when it was parked on the road outside my house. And, yes, they even have all the details of that on their central databases and available to presumably all companies to check as she put it through her insurance which paid out. Even though it was never lodged as a claim with (but was fully disclosed at the time to) my previous insurers, that did not keep any record of it. As the innocent person who got my car bumped, I have to pay more each year than I would have done because I now am a greater risk! (My previous insurers would not have taken it into account but their premium, even without it, already came, this time, to a lot more expensive. So I move to another company where the premiums are lower but it adds £60 to my premium. Next year will doubtless be the same - as it is still within 5 years (time period of many insurers). Only after then will I be able to put it behind me - in the meantime am equivalent to being "fined" every year by the premium increases. For something I didn't do and was nowhere near the car at the time. Fortunately, she was a kind soul that actually left a note saying she had bumped into my car and leaving me her contact details:eek: - now, that never happens!)

    Wine!!!

    The 6 for £25 wine offer looks to be finishing, but the apg should see full price.:)

    There are too many wines for me to go through and compare, but I am sure there will be some good comparisons. Perhaps if anyone finds any they could post them please!

    http://groceries.asda.com/promotion/6-for-2500/ls87032

    I like it when the APG shows full price (for A):j. Too many wines?:huh: Come on, there's only 19 - I deal with a lot more when I check (usually fruitlessly:laugh:) items in A offers at M!:rotfl: (The 'biggest' one I had once was a 3 for £10 toiletries offer where I had two pages printed out from msm with all of the 120 items in the offer lol!)

    The Blossom Hill White Grenache Rose is one of the 'favourite' items that is comparable to elsewhere. Sadly :(T is £5.50 - it ought to be far lower than that (we'd be looking for £4.00 if it was to be really good!). The Gallo Vineyards Pinot Grigio is sadly full price elsewhere:(.

    Otherwise, the Hardy's Stamps - Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon £5 at T and 2 for £10 in S - Semillion Sauvignon Blanc £5 at T but full price at S:( - Chardonnay Semillion £5 at S but full price at T:( - but sadly the A full price is too low to give much back on each one of them.

    Possibly this:j:j

    Cellier des Dauphins Cotes du Rhone Reserve (750ml)


    Store_1.15px.png
    £7.50 £1.00 / 100ml
    Store_2.15px.png
    £7.00 any 6 for £25.00


    if it has got out of date information in the APG (until it updates at midday today:() for T as it looks like it has just shot up in price on msm for T - although it is hard to tell when it went up - it has current price and then £4.17 price on 7th February (but could be anything up to yesterday) - the £4.17 suggests it was on 6 for £25.00 price in T (which would tie in with the A offer:T). I doubt it though:( - I bet it will pick up £7.50 each for T, as looks like T have put the price up already.

    If I may say, very honestly - hopefully inoffensively to everybody - the supermarkets are all cynical bast:mad::mad:ds that put the prices up deliberately and tactically to their own advantage!:mad::rotfl: Especially T:p - I'm utter fuming with rage at home now as I go to bed, you can imagine:rotfl::rotfl:!:) (Completely and entirely justifiably!)

    I was trying to start a shop for Avs S, using sains.co.uk to see when the Kit Kats 40p is due to end. Sains are making my shopping experience better:(, according to them - absolutely ruined it:mad::rotfl: - and sains.co.uk is now down for maintenance until 6am:(.

    Wonder when* and whether^...

    ASDA Chosen by You Freshly Frozen Garden Peas (1.8Kg)


    Store_2.15px.png
    [Strike]£2.40[/Strike] £2.25 12.5p / 100g
    Store_3.15px.png
    [Strike]£2.35[/Strike]
    40p

    Msm has price for S going down very close to today. Bet we have to wait another day for this to be picked up:(. Bet it disappears from s.co.uk today and never gets picked up at all:(. If it works, it would compare to even better than 40p as S is 1.81kg!:T They normally change prices in S on Tuesdays don't they:think: and therefore would this have already been showing 40p on Tuesday? Is this an error by msm? - we need to see sains.co.uk:mad:.

    No more expensive "Smart" price peas at possibly 3-4 times the cost if this works!


    *this went down in price on sains.co.uk
    ^this will work

    Might be some hope:j:j.


    Found 11 hours ago (as at the time of posting this)!

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sainsbury-s-british-garden-peas-1-81kg-40p-sainsburys-2392302


    EDIT: Offer starts 'tomorrow' (in other words today) according to that, so might not work for another day or may only work from this afternoon. Apparently online only according to some of the comments, but should work on APG for instore too as they get the prices from online! If the system picks it up at all. I do hope this is online on s.co.uk for more than a day and not something that we just stand no chance of ever coinciding with on the APG.

    EDIT 2: Please can someone check on sains.co.uk when it is back up after 6am. Many TIA.
