    Seems hard to believe it could be true!

    Pears Transparent Soap (75g)37p:eek: However, M Savers Soap 3 pack at 42p would work out much cheaper. Used to be A SP at 35p and, at one point vs S at 35p - however competitor products now appear to be no longer available.

    I say "appear to be" - just in case some SP 3 pack or Basics 3 pack soap got lost deep at the back of the shelves of one store in the country and has remained undiscovered for years:rotfl:. They "appear to be" from the fact that they do not seem to be on the live grocery websites as of now - and "seem" to be, just in case they are there but I've missed them:rotfl:.

    I went for a long walk this morning...to think something over and I have come to the conclusion that life can be very cruel.

    I'm sorry to be cryptic but it is my thought of the day....

    Worse than I thought - of course I should have known - buying 13 Muller the other day royally messed up the comparison as 11 became 10 ... and the remaining 2 just happened to be different matching flavours so the APG matched correctly (from their perspective :().

    Never mind, I still am ahead - onwards and upwards :D.

    Do Little Dish need fridge space? If so, no point me going as I am Mullered!
