Morning all

It's lovely and sunny and not at all windy out this morning

I have yet another interview this morning :eek: I've had a few in the last few weeks that I thought had gone really well but I've still not been offered the job so my confidence for this one is not very high

Good luck on your interview

The Quorn is glitchy. Not sure whether mid-morning shops like this one need to wait until late in the day for the mbuys to disappear (they may risk the system not being updated to no mbuy); however this one did work. I noticed (thanks to N1lda:T) the mbuy was still on the product page of the Plain Fillets in the early hours, but the Nuggets one was missing. I assume morning update gets whatever was there in the early hours and afternoon update gets whatever is there around about now (in which case mix and match may be unnecessary - but this was the combination of items I wanted - I like the fillets more - and counts as two items instead of one).

Vs M
1x Quorn Meat Free Chicken Nuggets (300G) £1.90 £1.00
3x Quorn Meat Free Fillets (312G) £5.70 £3.00

Msm had £1.80 individual price earlier, but thanks that A have put the individual price up a bit:D.

I now understand it is standard practice in A to remove the mbuy labelling from the shelves the day before an offer ends as, again, there were now no mbuys on the shelf but the products went through at the mbuy price. Obviously to discourage people from buying them on the best day:rotfl:. But, no, seriously, it just proves again that you cannot shop the way the vast majority of people in fact do, by looking at the prices you see on the shelves when in a store, as you'd have no idea of the offers that were on on the day you were shopping! Just now so expected that the way nearly everybody shops (that is excluding the small minority of the population that use this thread) turns out to be the most inefficient way of doing so and the way likely to give the most money to the stores! You just could not shop worse than the way most people do. Typical that the common denominator, as is usual albeit not always, picks the worst possible way of doing things. IMO. Anyway, Quorns work:D.

Not v.good in Northern Ireland sadly:( - best there it seems (I am assuming NI has the same T and S data as England) is vs T on the Plain Fillets only in sixes (T 3 for £5) - Nuggets are N/A against T. Hardly worth bothering with there:rotfl:(:o:osorry NI, not funny). Just each three at £5.70 vs £5.00:( (and would need to buy six to avoid T full price).

McColls offering Hello Fashion Monthly for 50p at the tills when you buy something in the shop - I think you have to spend 1.50 or similar.

Got one for DD but no MOCs inside or anything.

I seem to remember with my Pension Forecast that they recommended checking again after April 2016 as the figures for the new state pension weren't definite at the time I asked which was early last autumn. So it maybe worth a re-try after 6 April.

Bay of E parcels posted and a birthday card to NZ which cost £2.25 for its stamp :eek: - I think it was £1.65 last year - the PO lady said prices had leapt up for overseas mail.

S have sent me 4 x £4 off wys £40, which is nice.

Good afternoon lovely's:wave:


Hope everyone is well.

Not caught up in ages but the lovely Mr t sent me a £6 off £40 so I thought I'd venture out after work.

Can anyone tell me please if those pies with the moc in have anything different on the pack to indicate it?
Thanks

I'm not attempting a pp as the monkeys want some more

Edit... Found it:)
Pop into Tesco and look out for the chicken or beef Higgidy pies with a yellow sticker on the box saying ‘free pie voucher inside’ like our picture.

Thank you for the good wishes folks - I think it went well but I'll find out how week next week sometime

I got there way too early so I went for a walk along the waterfront by the SS Great Britain. I see it all the time and went on it loads when I was little but this morning it was nice to just go and sit on a bench and watch all the goings on then I walked up a huge hill that just seemed to go on and on and on. I found out at the top that it is a 16% gradient :eek: but I'd composed myself again before I went in

So now I'm gonna finish my cup of tea and go round to treat my little feathered friends to some turf

I went to buy some "SP" Apples as I needed some different apples and they are N/A against M these days. There was also an alright number in the bags last time. However, when in the store, I went 'freestyle'(:eek:) - never a good idea as you risk picking up items that are much more expensive at the competitor unless you know what you are buying (in which case you aren't truly freestyling) - and bought these:

ASDA Chosen by Kids Apples (550g)


75p £1.36 / Kg

I just happened to notice the apples at that price on the shelf and before I noticed any SP apples there (500g:( but number is now more important than weight - you only ever consume full apples at every time and greater number :doh:lasts longer - and at 80p. So, more weight for a cheaper price). At least I avoided the apples at 85p that they seemed to want me to have by putting them in front of me on the aisle end. Almost like they push them out at me:eek: and then I push them back:D:money:. It turns out, from msm, the 75p apples I bought are better ones by weight (than either 'SP' or 600g Braeburn).

They are safe vs M (and indeed vs everywhere as they are N/A on all four comps.):

1x ASDA Chosen by Kids Cute and Juicy Apples (MW550G) £0.75 N/A

"Cute and Juicy" eh? Aaaaahhhh... (drools)

: trying to get us to buy something by having it described as nice, cute and juicy, cuddly and soft and sweet...

...

Yuck!:eek::eek: (Always dislike stuff that's nice and cute and sugary and sweet - just too sickening sometimes!:rotfl: Sometimes you can overdose with the sentimentality, and I have no truck from a money-saving POV as that's what it's there to do - tug at the emotion and have us spending more than sense. So, I prefer the nastier, harsher and more profane approach.)

So, unusually, I made a good purchase (and a better one than I had on my original shopping list) without having checked online beforehand and without buying way too much (that would possibly have fewer apples for the money anyway) such as the 1.2Kg bags and then having to buy multiple purchase. Fortunately the Kids Apples at £1 in M are variable weight and not the fixed 550g that is stated on the Kids apples on a.com. Although, MW ("minimum weight") suggests variable:think: - anyway, they don't compare:). Nonetheless, I have hesitated before posting this post as I don't want people now to be buying 75p apples packs - numerous of us doing so and every one of us paying A 75p extra - unnecessarily instead of getting 6 or 7 fillers at 2p each:rotfl:. But, if you do want the apples, despite my advertising of them now on here, then, by all means, they are N/A against M.:cool:

Actually there is a new programme starting on BBC ONE - I think they've been advertising it a lot - with people trying to save money and the promotion has someone picking the wrong option, one that costs more for the amount. I think it may be based on that Telegraph quiz, or whatever it was, where you try to work out what is the best purchase on various offers of various different pack sizes - and most people get some of them wrong. Tip: I use a calculator (memory fading now as I get older;):o:rotfl:) - even then it can be some time working them all out to see which is best. Wonder if they then throw APG comps. into the mix - that would confuse the majority of people even more:rotfl:.
