Yup, a lot easier than spot the cat

Tweets, we had a weather warning earlier, a few rumbles of thunder and a few spots of rain was all we got, but now it's all overcast and muggy.

In Bakewell they have had huge hail showers..

Joe & Seph's Chocolate Caramel Sauce (230g)47p
Joe & Seph's Caramel Sauce - Gin & Tonic (230g)47p
Joe & Seph's Sticky Toffee Sauce (230g)47p

They should never have been on the list at £2.03!:eek: I know why this happened - I saw the over three pounds previous price and thought the reduction was significant enough to take the details of the product/check them whether available in A, which turned out not to be the case:(, but then still felt worthy of mention on the list. Really I should have concerned myself only with a reduction from £2.03 to 47p.

In all fairness to myself, I have mentioned the £1.55:eek: store specific reduction previously found and that that was still too dear, and also at one stage mentioned that buying Askey's Sauce at £1 would be cheaper. Obviously that's not true now:rotfl:. It will be cheaper to get these - you may have luck on them actually (I do have some stores with more than one version still left).

There are now lots of items in the baking/Dr. Oetker baking/M Cake Decorations/dried fruits section at 47p:cool:. In fact many of the M cake decorations are 33p. And it's not just me that needs telling - the 38p Dr. Oetker Rose Crystals (and the other one at 38p, whatever it was:o) has now gone to 17p:), so whoever on hotdeals thought 38p was good:eek:... I should have told Bubbs it was way too expensive at 38p rather than putting it on my list:o:o and having people paying way over the odds on it:rotfl:.

Really any RTCs higher than 20p should be banned from getting onto the list:D!:rotfl::rotfl:

The list itself is now updated from Monday, I have just the formatting to sort out again later - preparing for tomorrow and the six different stores then. I have some store specific reductions from the other stores yesterday that I may mention later.

Maybe 17p for Dr Oetker crystals will turn out to be too dear:rotfl:. I only just got that from my first store - thankfully a member of staff was in that aisle at the time, meaning that, because there was a lot to write down and I had to do that without detection, I had to move to another aisle and come back later - I'd initially taken the Dr Oetker at 38p - when I returned, the SEL had been changed to 17p. So the price collectors (for the APG comparable one), if they collected early, might have 38p or might not have the product at all. I would still have picked up the fact the price had changed to 17p though as I later saw it in another store.:)

Thank you ♥ Saw these today & noted the 75p SEL & knew there was something I hadn't taken in - 342 - will go back as it looks like a great buy. Huge tube too.
Also they had Vaseline lotion with cocoa butter at 75p too

I looked online yesterday and looks like only the yellow or brown tubes are 342 not the white ones they are all RTC at 75p. Boots have them on offer over £5 :eek:

Evening all - whew wot a hot one today :eek: Strange lived in Middle East and Oz and 32 degrees is really pleasant but here it feels 10 degrees hotter.

Was glad to come home to a cool house. No thunderstorms here yet though:D
