    A v T womble today
    the cocopops are 2 for £6 in asda but they only bought one.

    Coco Pops 800g pack go down to £1.87 in T (and W at times), so I wouldn't be trying that:rotfl:.

    Again - although I've bought some cereal from A - I am finding that cereals on RTC shelves in M (they often have long dates) can be a lot cheaper, in the absence of any glitches about. Not all cereals of course - and they often have them at reductions off full price that are worse than normal offers - but usually it's boxes timed in with offers and when they put stock on the RTC shelf after the offer has started. Never in my local stores though:( - but I did quite well there, I think, with some Hula Hoops the other day - they've had 20 pack at £2 - I was saying (probably still am saying:rotfl:) that I'd need at least a 25 pack to consider buying at that price - but I found a pack at £1 on one of my RTC shelves. It was fairly clear there may be some missing - beware on that about buying bags at half price but which have half of the bags missing - but I think I did quite well - I took a chance on it and it turned out there are 18 bags inside - so, 18 bags of Hula Hoops for £1 is not that bad. I was quite pleased there were only a couple of bags missing for a half price - and the original £2 being a 'good' price for many people (although it is not for us!:D). And mine at £1 work out somewhat better than £2 for 25 - which you can't get as it is 20 - and I didn't pay as much as the £2 price (I did not get 36 - in other words 2x 18 - and 36 were not available in my store in any event)!

    Some silly things can make things, such as cereals again, cheaper too - for example a slightly ripped box but the entire contents inside are completely fine - and yet it's had quite a discount made - but only if you pick the right store at the right time! Key is: be selective:money:. (I only buy the RTCs when they are any good:doh::rotfl:.)

    I wondered if you would spot my post:rotfl::rotfl:

    It wasn't even a matter of "spotting" it - it was total stand-out as soon as I hit submit and was returned to an updated page of the thread. (The rest of the Elite had, obviously, technically, got there before me - or, maybe not, as it is on my list? Not that that means it works:rotfl:. I was trying to let people know that this now worked this time - I think it's probably most likely going to be the only time during the current M offer. I would not be surprised if I saw full price Ms on Monday and, now, would indeed be surprised if I saw the offer still showing on the shelf, even though it should be on for a further day.)

    Sorry you got the bug bubbs, get well soon.

    Yes OH got an appointment 21 November, so hopefully all done and dusted for christmas, yes I hope it works this time.

    Tweets, hope the fireworks dont continue for long for poor poppy.

    Harley is not bothered by them, has even been out in the garden to get a drink out of his water bowl, (weird dog wont drink in the house).

    Evening peeps. :)

    Bloody fireworks!

    Cassie is so scared she's trying to climb into the dresser, whilst Ellie just barks at them as if she wants to catch them!! We live on an estate with loads of displays going on, so I've upped the tv volumn, still not stopping Ellie looking out the window and growling which sets Cassie off!!

    Seems to be getting louder as the night goes on. Trying to keep them cuddled in. Bloody neighbour has started them now. :mad::mad:
