    can anyone verify when the next Sainsburys Tu sale is going to be - I had 23rd in my head but that cant be right.
    I seem to think they start on a Tuesday but thats the 25th and that does not seem right either ...

    I am still dithering about the coat I am lusting after. I tried one on but they are quite fitted especially on the arms so I tried the next size up and it was fine. So then I put it behind other coats while i had a think. Today i went and had a look and my cost was now at the front so again I put it back behind. There are only about 6 left now, mostly size 12 which tells me that everyone that has tried them on are finding them small for size.

    Ive also got a £5 wys £50 so this will help :)

    Last week I found a FB group, one of the womblers groups with a file of barcodes for cashback purposes but now I cant find it :(

    My recs this morning have allsorts of treasures - the eggs barcode was easy but these not so

    Ribena
    radox

    Ive tried using the barcode from the Ribena rec and tried adding the last digit but it refuses to be found ...

    0000020337087 - which I thought was correct for asda milk wont scan :(

    Switch to EAN-8 on the barcode generator

    I'll set off about 5, it is 20 miles there so I will miss the crowds. Drop into S. take some more clothes back, the T, then A... I may even get the whoopsy time!

    When I get home, OH will be drunk asleep in the chair... so I will kick him a few times, get the dog to climb on him and then go see a friend. I may leave him a note telling him I have left him.... see if he notices...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    This sounds like a lot more fun than my Saturday - i thought Id done all of my returns but then I remembered there is cat food still to go back.
    I got the whiskas soup for greenjinn but bought 2 lots -£3 in Sainsbobs although the SEL said £3.50 - and then remembered why Oh does not have this app on his phone, its android :(

    From a womble dated yesterday - this gave a small APG and compared against Morribobs

    The interesting bit is that on the rec the baby food is 75p - 12 for £6 but on the APG it shows as 50p?

    And I can only count 11 on this list not the 12 that are on the receipt

    18 items (13 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison

    Asda versus morrisons

    1x Heinz Cheesy Tomato Pasta Stars (200G) £0.50 £0.78
    2x Heinz Very Mild Chicken Curry (200G) £1.00 £1.00
    1x Heinz Lamb with Winter Vegetables (200G) £0.50 £0.50
    1x Heinz Apple & Pork Casserole (200G) £0.50 £0.78
    2x Heinz Sweet & Sour Chicken with Rice (200G) £1.00 £1.00
    1x Heinz Cottage Pie (200G) £0.50 £0.50
    1x Heinz Spaghetti Bolognese (200G) £0.50 £0.50
    3x Heinz Sunday Chicken Dinner (200G) £1.50 £1.50

    12 for £6 makes them 50p each so that's right

    I count 12 :cool:

    Have seen a confirmation of the peanut & caramel muller still working today.

    That was the one (or one of the two I saw instore). I don't know why, on a different matter to those, the Turkish Delight is messing things up - maybe I ought to go and read back on the thread first?:think::rotfl: - if it's dropped off the comparison altogether it will still work as a trigger but the APG very slightly less and as long as you buy enough other items that do appear.

    mhoc,

    Don't dither, get yourself there on the 25th and buy yourself the coat, you save so much money on normal daily living, you definitely deserve to treat yourself xxxx
