    I can just imagine your application... yes I use £50 a month but can my direct debit be £500 a month as the 3% is fab!

    :T:T:T:T:T

    very true :)

    Morning all, not sure if mentioned - Birds eye 4 large cod fillets in breadcrumbs 480g for £4 or 4 for £6 waities.

    theve been £1.60 each for at least a month (after my picks), ended yesterday in waities. i did post a few times.
    but 4 for £6 is brill, especially if still on mypicks

    they are still on my picks
    but if my picks still comes off. it will make them 70p per box
    they are now in my online basket at £2.80 for 4

    Just seen birds eye cod fillets are on my picks, so another 20% off. Dont know how this works out though, is it 20% off £6? if so fantastic deal.

    4 gone into basket at £2.80??

    I tried this instore and it didn't work :(:(. I went to CS and said it was 4 for £6 online and she checked and said I had the wrong product. I replied that when I had scanned it using the self scan gun the offer had popped up. So she checked with gun and it did show 4 for £6. She said she thought it was a mistake but honoured it and gave me back the difference. So I paid the £2.80 for 4 packs.

    So, be prepared to blag it instore, or go for online shop perhaps or try an A v W shop for £5.40 After APG if it works:):)

    SnS

    Looking at the offer again, there are 4 items in offer and it looks very much like a meal deal rather than any 4 for £6

    thanks for this, saved me a wasted trip. Maybe they are just stocked down south. If H store does not have then there is not much hope ...

    I am now racking my brains to think what other Mr !!!!!! stores are easy enough to get to via train and close enough to a train station - an excuse for a day out :)

    I do have a little experience with Ovo...we arn't with them directly as our main supplier but we inherited them when we bought one of the rental properties and never switched....I find them really easy to deal with and very efficient....we only dip in and out with them in voids but I have never had any problems getting them to accept meter readings etc....
    I believe they are not offshore so thats always a bonus and TBH if we have void periods in the other properties that are long enough to get a switch done I will be looking at doing so.

    Although in fairness I have no idea what there actual tariffs are...but a company that deals with me effectively is far better in my mind than someone who chrages less but has no idea of processes!!!

    just been looking at the Ovo website and various review places and it looks quite impressive, based in Bristol which is good and as usual you can run your account online and you can put in top up payments into your account up to a certain maximum
    they are not on TCB which is a pity

    yes I know you should not judge a company by its flashy website :D

    Wrexham Tesco stocked them the last time the offer was on.
