Popped in Wilkinsons today on my never ending quest for cheap toilet rolls....this might have been mentioned but the Velvet 9 pack is down to £2.25 and there's a Regina ( Oooh missus:D) 4 pack quilted down to £1.10.

Domestic was 90p

And they take I love to shop vouchers:T

Thank you TM, I'm rather partial to quilted Regina - nice find :T

Decided to do a £25 C and C shop tomorrow to claim the £5.25 back from TCB. I'm not going to use any e vouchers.
The Felix cat food should compare £4.85 to £3.50 and Robinsons 1 L squash £1.49 to £1 each when you buy 2. This is v T.

It's all stuff I need so why not?:)

It's been freezing here today too.....but this was my 7.00 am cup of tea view:)
It was one of those glad to be alive moments:)

We spent last week with a view like this. Just beautiful.

I have entered a surreal world this afternoon where Elite are talking about choosing items AvM to lose money? Come on Elite, surely you can think of a few useful fillers without trying to lose money to bring the APG down .

I think we are feeling cushioned by the glut of glitches.

It is impossible to say that sentence quickly:rotfl:

Morning all :wave:

Had to take my darling Tessa to the vets this morning as her groomer said she could feel a lump. Vet took a sample and will get back to me in a week. £111 so far :eek::eek: Is that normal price.
Better do a bit more wombling

Just had Rebecca to the vets this afternoon as I found a lump on her. Vet advised it did not seem attached to anything, and just to keep an eye on it. Hope Tessa's lump turns out to be nothing.

My shopping earlier, no glitch - for more of the cereals - I don't need more Coco Pops and would have to get far better wombles to pay their blasted price in the first place:eek::eek: - has worked. Managed to claw another pound or so back from them.

But by buying Choc Ices and Ravioli that has given them more than a pound:( - but I'd get them at some point anyway.

My attempt to use up some wombles (and I was getting smaller ones:() but I still had to find £8.12:eek: for this shop!

9 items (7 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda tesco
1x ASDA Smartprice Choc Ices (8X57ML) £0.70 £0.70
0.15x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.10 £0.10
1x Nestle Shredded Wheat Bitesize (750G) £2.00 £1.59
1x ASDA Smartprice Ravioli (400G) £0.39 £0.39
1x McVitie's Digestives Strawberry Cheesecake Creams (168G) £0.50 N/A:D
2x ASDA Smartprice Cornish Pasty (150G) £0.60 £0.60
1x ASDA Smartprice Wheat Bisks (24X18G) £0.69 £0.75
2x Kellogg's Crunchy Nut (750G) £3.14 £3.14
Comparison total (compared products only) £7.62 £7.27
+£0.35 cheaper

They've rolled back - quite a bit (they were very expensive last week:T:T) - on the Bitesize Shredded Wheat - but not nearly as low as T, so I've managed to pull them, kicking and screaming, prising them down a bit more. Now pricematched on the Crunchy Nut - if buying straight, A's CBY at £1.48 would work out cheaper on non-10% prices (or non-90%:rotfl:) but managed to pull the Kellogg's down a bit as I was doing an APG shop. Got 10% off the Minced Beef & Veg. pasties. Nothing of interest at all, there's no glitch!:rotfl: The Wheat Bisks - still not 10% cheaper:( - and appear to be pricematching Aldi on those - but I've managed to get the 2p or so:( to bring them down to 10% off.

The Choc Ices compare against M, as they should do, but no use if you are trying to lose money from your APG:rotfl:.
1x ASDA Smartprice Choc Ices (8X57ML) £0.70 £0.70

SP Ravioli does not compare against M - it probably should be N/A as, as far as I am aware, M went OOS on these quite some time ago and hasn't had them since:
1x ASDA Smartprice Ravioli (400G) £0.39 N/A

Again, no use if wanting to lose money as that neither adds nor subtracts on a shop where M turns out to be 'best'.:rotfl:

I did not have to spend 6p more real cash to get the Wheat Bisks and didn't need wombles to quite as high as that amount - that's effectively all that does there:(:rotfl::rotfl:.

I could get 2 boxes of Crunchy Nut this time (and, believe me, we need them:rotfl:) as they have come down in price in A, and for the same original spend, but it does not give as much APG back as when they were £3.14. However, if they were full price (then again I prepared my shop on the basis of the current lowered prices), I would have had to pay more at the outset or else bought just one pack and then, if A's price decrease occurred after I had the voucher back, had either to pay full £1.57 (instead of 10% off) for the second pack bought straight - or buy CBY at £1.48 instead (but not quite 10% off £1.57 for the Kellogg's when they are on a shop that all the rest is either N/A or isn't 10% cheaper vs T) - or maybe, :doh:, I could have bought them with a better voucher off this shop if they were full price £3.14 (just one pack) and then spent that voucher on another pack after they fell to £1.57 (but would then be paying full £1.57 for them and not 10% off unless I bought a further seven different items that appeared - either way, they get you there as you just end up paying full A price for them if at some point you end up with a low value voucher that you just spend and don't buy 8 different items! So, I get the low value now - having bought 2 boxes at £1.57 each - but maybe it can actually go on something that is best value in A on its own prices (is there any such thing?:rotfl:) and non-comparable - or is more than 10% cheaper!).
