    :o:o:o

    So much has happened today

    I'll start with the best bit

    Dad is coming home on the 23rd February :j:j:j

    So I need to organise myself to leave here & stay there

    So firstly have to buy train tickets - so have doubled up my CC vouchers on Redspotted hanky for free train fare :T

    Requests are coming in thick & fast from Mum.

    Have to source single sheets, disposable bed pads, slippers that stay on (so far today....)

    here I need Fourp to learn survival skills like going to shops & purchasing essentials like cat food & milk.

    :):):)

    :rotfl:I have. Just had a womble for £2.55:rotfl::rotfl:. Off a £43 shop of course so not even anywhere like 10% of the bill - assuming a fully pricematched comparison and everything comparable - I thought this would be no good as they are buying Pepsi at £1 - however I was just looking at the M prices that I already know and the voucher is against T.

    Basically because they happened to be tempted enough by the £1 Pepsi to buy two and happen to match T's mbuy price:

    2x Pepsi Max Bottle (2LT) £2.00 £2.00

    and although they bought these:

    3x Philadelphia Light with Sweet Chilli Soft White Cheese (170G) £3.00 £4.50

    that compared quite badly (yet again £1:mad:!), nearly everything else that compared was simply pricematched so added 10% and added a yogurt:

    1x Activia Intensely Creamy Yogurt Zesty Lemon (4X110G) £2.40 £1.20

    that isn't nearly as cheap at T as it's A pricing goes to. £1 in A in the past on those - and M in the past too!

    This not nearly as good offer as it should be:

    1x Flora Buttery Spread (1KG) £2.98 £2.50

    They just rise them up and then put them down a little but still see people paying too much for them! £2.50 T price:eek: - I would expect to see £2.00 and even that nowadays is way too much for me! Bought at full A price:rotfl:.

    1x The Happy Egg Co Eggs Large Free Range (6PK) £2.00 £1.90:rotfl:

    Six eggs at £1.90! Like, not even below £1? Or not even the £1 offer price on the Medium version in M. Our shopper prefers twice the cost!:rotfl::T

    I think it's quite extensively due to people having so little time in a supermarket to pick the items at the best price. And then there are some people that don't consider the prices they are paying at all - I know I was like that five years ago:o - except I'd add a £1 rollback item to the shopping most weeks! That's the only price I considered - the £1 rollback item that got me buying it.

    People have about 0.4 seconds per item in some shops. They have no time to assess best value. But then again they have themselves to blame for that - because they don't make themselves the time and just go to the store unprepared.:rotfl:

    They don't know - or don't realise - that their shop wasn't 10% cheaper so they lose another £2.55. A was cheaper on this bill - by 20p:(, but only thanks to those Philadelphias:p. Really, with items at cheaper prices elsewhere, you could expect them to be much cheaper than they actually are - and, even then, only come out cheapest if you add three £1 cheeses to the basket! It looks poor for A ever meeting its 10% and actually being 10% in the store itself - but that is not the idea - the idea is that they know how people (generally) shop, they set prices to cater for that and supermarkets make money by overcharging people and then giving money back to better or match the prices of elsewhere only for the people that buy all the necessary items and actually compare using targetted shopping. We know it's not individual items but overall bills on which money is lost and gained and, usually, averages out to make them roughly the same cost as elsewhere (avoiding the embarrassment of giving a huge discount at the till/big voucher and showing themselves to be way more expensive than somewhere else) and then people put offers into their trolley and loss much more - or, rather, make their own stores merely around the same price as elsewhere. They are all expensive on everything except which they are on offer, and even then the offers sometimes are not good ones, and in the case of 'price match'/'beat' supermarkets are best buying everything that is cheaper at some specific elsewhere place!
