Thanks Savvy Yes looks like 14 Oh well its not been a good day tomorrow will be better

It doesn't just look like 14 - it is 14! Sorry you've made me laugh now:o:o, but it's not against your failed shop. I've failed spectacularly myself before. Btw - although this one was not a spectacular failure - and I bet it's all common knowledge so you all knew here anyway even before I shopped and I didn't see it posted:o:rotfl:, the Options with the Salted Caramel does not work. Or at least it didn't yesterday [Thursday] when I bought four of them:o. They picked up A mbuy:( although at least they picked up T's as well. So, got for expensive 4 for 90p:eek::(:rotfl: - I wouldn't haven't paid that much for how small the sachets are - but knew it was a risk - and just one drink each - SP Hot Chocolate would be way cheaper and last far longer - good idea of stores to have people buying small sachets like this though, at quite expensive price for what they are, and having to do so much more often. I don't think the stores would ever make money or ever exist if everyone bought only the 'value' range versions though!:rotfl::rotfl:

EDIT: Hope you have a good day tomorrow (or today, at the time of the edit).:)

I like the Rice Strawberry (as I'm sure a lot of people do!) - I still have to try to stop others here at home having them too much as they'll consume four in a day never mind a week! Mine have date of about three weeks away but, even here, I'm going to have to try to divert people away from them as they'll just have the entire lot in one sitting - the whole stock including all the others will last about a week!:eek::eek::( I bet I also like the Turkish Delight - I haven't had it before but I bet it will taste absolutely lovely!

The 11 plus one (or, worse, 12 all the same) would still work if you got 10 of the one you bought 11 or 12 of comparing against T. In other words, you can't buy 11 or 12 of a version that T doesn't have! Or you can, but you get no APG for it. That would still work if the one that you bought too many for them to compare compares against T, although it would need extra items to be bought to have 8 different items appearing on the shop.

Otherwise, particularly* on the 'wider varieties of Mullers' approach, I think I may have found two alternative triggers instead of the Turkish Delight - mentioned in my post earlier tonight - only one of them needed - and may be invisible so would need enough further items and if they worked (not tried) they would give about 5p less APG if they are invisible. (*I suppose you could get 11 of one that appears and compares and one of these potential triggers, but there doesn't seem too much point in that to me, as you don't get the extra one 55p vs 55p if that's a no-show trigger or if I'm wrong, if it appears and if T doesn't have it or it's otherwise not in the system for T. I suppose people could find a point in buying a combination of 11 of a visible comparing product and 1 of an 'invisible trigger' if they particularly like and want those flavours.)

The Turkish Delight is currently a show, but I don't know if/when it will drop off (which will then still be a trigger but invisible - of course we still need favourable T pricing to last). I'd watch out for the ones I've suggested may be triggers (but invisible so need an extra item) to see if they are or appear on a.com - as if they go on there they might stop working (assuming they even work at the moment).

I hope I've been clear:rotfl:.

The Mullers still worked. (I think I have remembered which ones T does not have now!:laugh:) I've got to go - as I'm supposed to be up early in the morning:eek::rotfl: - alright, goodnight!:wave:.

:rotfl:I've just amended and lengthened this sentence spectacularly. But I'm right aren't it? I'm trying to be completely accurate and include every caveat, so as to make myself absolutely clear. (However, I know my style of writing does confuse people sometimes - or maybe all the time:rotfl: - not necessarily literally! - as I include too much information and am too complex. But, I suppose, that's the complex truth!:cool: I can't help but write this way - I know (or at least I suspect, as no-one has explicitly told me so!:rotfl:) people not on the spectrum find it confusing, because it's too complicated - I understand complicated things, it's the simplicity that confuses me:rotfl: - but people generally can not infrequently cause me confusion from time to time by stating something incompletely, not stating everything and missing out the detail (or some of the detail). That can confuse me - it does not necessarily do so - and usually I'm intelligent enough to work out what (I think) they really mean. I hope my explanation as to why I've written that long sentence helps people understand it, even though it contains a lot of information and, if you look at it through those eyes (I don't know if people generally can!:eek:) - even if you may have to re-read parts of it, it will all be clear. I don't do ambiguity, lack of clarity or incompleteness. Most of the time:rotfl:. I try to settle every ambiguity that I have envisaged - and then make myself unclear and ambiguous by saying too much extra:rotfl:. At some point, if you write lots, you will eventually contradict yourself - and the more you write, the more chance of a contradiction, at some stage, coming in.)

I don't want to be too complicated or into the boring detail for people. It's too late at night, anyway I'm going so have a good day and see you later:A:wave:.

so if you have 5 soups - 2 flavours (and 5 MOCs)
6 different Hipps (not the fruity museli) (and 6 free Hipp MOC)
that's a good start for a comparison shop

Morning Folks!

Its the holidays!

Hope everyone is well. Been busy in RL and will still be going into work next week, even though it is half term!!!!!:mad: but I can join in for a few days :j

DD has split up with her BF, so lots of tears and upset.

Still trying to sell DM flat. Got cross with young girl at Solicitors yesterday, so not proud of myself , but some days I wonder what I am paying them for!:eek:

Roof leaking over DS2 bedroom. We have paid £1000 to have it repaired, and it is still raining in his bedroom!!!!:mad:

Having woodburner installed in living room. I have waited 23 years to have the money to have the 1950's fireplace removed from the 1820's mantelpiece....... and the installers have managed to make it look worse!!!!! Needless to say, they will be returning on Wednesday to put it right. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I was just wondering if anyone had pdf of Hipp vouchers and soup vouchers they could share?

DD been putting the Hipp pouches into smooties, so now running dangerously low! :rotfl:

Have a great Saturday.

Good morning.
I have a dilemma,only a very small one to do with frocking!
Dh is on holiday now for a week and we were talking last night about days out we are going to have. On Wednesday we are going to Kirkby lonsdale and Kendal with Dd (Sunflower are you in work on Wednesday I'll pop in and say a quick hi if you are)
Anyway I used to own a deli and I still get meat from one of my old suppliers but it's a bit of a trek so dh says why don't you order some meat and we'll make a day of it . You see my problem I do a massive order of quarterpounders, beef stew, lamb etc so it will be a fortune.
I don't want to miss the opportunity because I would rather dh drive there but it will knock my total completely.
I think I may do the order but not include it in my total as it isn't meat for now iykwim, maybe I'll add the amount of say a pound of stew if I use it.
I have used so much out of my cupboards and freezer and sent loads of things to Dd too. I did laugh to myself the other day at her house when I opened the cupboards they are like replicas of mine with rows of passata, tinned tomatoes and she had a list of meals planned stuck to the fridge, I'm so glad she's cooking fresh rather than all junk food.
Now to write the list for the butchers.
