    Hi Altojack.
    Hope you and the rest of the elite are well.

    Decided to take a big step back from glitching. Spent the time balancing things out.

    Waste time spent messing about ? Instead of doing the important things, using time that you cannot get back from a supermarket.

    Sent the Mrs shopping in Lidl instead.
    All the same stuff for less than Asda and no messing about.

    Still miss getting a year stash over a few days :D
    Hope to get back into the swing of things in a more gentle manner.

    Lidl is a great place to shop, I'm in there maybe a couple of times a week myself.

    Gently does it with the glitching, good luck X

    Nice to see you FC, how's you doing? Still wining the struggle with dd? I'm glad I have no daughters as I have memories of me in early and mid teens :o. :rotfl::rotfl:

    still breathing :D as our dear Bananababe's dad would say.

    I finished my 2nd cycle of chemo today. So I'm a free woman next week and the chuckle brothers are on half term. We are off to Geneva for a short break so the geeks can go and drool over the Hadron collider :D I desperately wanted to take them on holiday but they don't do sun, sand and sea so the particle collider it is :D I'm still trying to wrap my head around what it is :o.

    I'm looking forward to it :D

    DS2 is anxious

    Do they eat chicken nuggets there?
    Will I be able to understand what the people on their telly are saying?
    Will Bluebear make it through the airport scanner without losing one of his carefully sewn on (not by me) legs?

    It will be an adventure!

    me and you both. my shopping is restricted to one day a week lately because of circumstances. Bearing in mind I often have upwards of 6/7 people in my house at any time, needing fed and watered. Sainsburys for me lately purely because they've been generous with cond. spends and extra points.
    I'm still coming in at around £40 a week which in the circumstances is good!

    One big thing I have noticed is a massive reduction in my fuel bill. I'm not out and about driving all over looking at umpteen different supermarkets to find stuff I probably don't need :o I do have a good toiletry and laundry stash and that's saving me £££ but as far as food goes, I'm pretty much living on my homegrown stuff with a few trips for meat and fresh goods thrown in. I will honestly say too, I really don't miss the stress of chasing glitches or the time it took out of my life that I could've been spending doing other things, which I have been doing.

    That's just my circumstances though. I know the thrill of the chase too well. I'm quite happy I don't need it anymore. there was a time I did. Just don't let it consume your life anyone. Having a great big stash of stuff is brilliant and satisfying....it is. But it doesn't define you.

    I'm going to bed before Altojack gets all Mummy on me :eek: :p

    2 FOR £1Haribo Super Mix Bag(3)

    79p

    Should compare to M. for 50p, so after apg should cost 32p for 2 bags.:)

    (I don't think the minions ones in the group will compare.)

    Oh dear:(. I wouldn't trust the OOS markings on msm - if a product is OOS it may compare for up to 7 days on the APG. Which is a good thing if the item is/was really cheap price elsewhere and has completely become unavailable - and the beggar does not appear again in the meantime on the competitor's website at a higher price:eek::( - but if the item was 'last seen' at higher price, and then goes OOS, the high price may be kept in the system for 7 days:(. Sometimes the OOS markings on msm really mean that the product is OOS at that price but the item really has appeared back on the retailer's website and either msm hasn't picked it up yet or msm has picked it up but not linked it back to the A product - it can then be found on msm, in this case if you switch to shopping in T and look for it there - it may magically appear:( and all of a sudden shows T at high price and not a lower price and OOS. So it can mean OOS at the price showing, but has appeared at a higher price (maybe an offer has just ended and msm is yet to update completely) and is showing at that higher price somewhere else on msm (such as the competitor's 'side' of the site) and in stock. It may not be showing on t.com for you as it may not be available in your area but may be available elsewhere and picked up from there.

    I am hoping something like this works, but works in my favour, for me soon.

    Were you hoping this was N/A? Really I would not risk things being N/A as they may be picked up from elsewhere and compare very badly indeed:(. You can have a good look at the competitor's website - sometimes items can appear if they are described slightly differently and you haven't got the 'right' search term - you can do a thorough search and be 'sure' and sometimes this does work if you know for definite the competitor has never stocked an item and know exactly what you are buying with care but I've been caught out by this sort of thing myself - quite a long time ago fortunately - but at T when I bought an item that wasn't stocked at any of my As and yet was available in A, nearly a pound more expensively:(, somewhere else.
