    Spot the difference - 1x Quality Street Chocolate Tub (750G) £4.00 N/A (a v all)

    You get more for your money from T so, as the weights showing online are different, it's a totally different product and therefore rightly non-comparable:(. You'll therefore end up paying more in A, for seemingly less product. It's where stores, under all schemes, rip you off when a competitor offers you something more for lower cost than they do.

    I've decided - up to the moment - not to bother with chocolate tubs/cartons this year as, not only have the weights gone down year after year and thus the 2 for £7 is now a lot more expensive than what it says, but I thought at one stage we had a £1.96 2 for 1 offer somewhere last year - or else eventually I can happen upon some on RTC shelf that will work out cheaper. We have lots of Maynard's Sports Mixture cartons (I still laugh at those £1 offers on small 190g bags:rotfl:) and various other sweets that will see us through Christmas:). I will probably get some chocolates at some time, just not expensive tubs and cartons:rotfl::cool::money:.

    2 for £7 is normally a 'good' offer and now is the time to be buying (but not Quality Street in A it seems) as better offers can't be guaranteed to happen but we've enough for Christmas and will cope with this or a better offer may come along.

    Might have gone a bit over the top with next years seeds. :o. I'd get 2 of all the 10p ones so I can give a pack of each to DD1 for the kiddies allotment. :D

    Big thanks to whoever brought it over, bubbs?

    Also got these gloves 50p and the propagator lids were 25p. The trug the seeds are in above was £1.25 :cool:

    MORNING ALL X


    has any of you ordered from mygeekbox? I ordered a box nearly 2 weeks ago money went out straight away but nothing has been sent and still shows as processing - looks like a subscription of a monthly fee, but I don't want more money coming out if I haven't received anything yet. Reviews are not good by the looks of it

    My friend did. I think she got her 1st box but wasn't impressed and then they took another months money. She is not happy
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    I am in shock today. I have been looking for a dress for a wedding next month and I finally found one I actually like today. And I paid full price :eek:

    I think it will look better on you E:D:p
