yep, ostrich steak was £5 each, RTC 50p each, I'm guessing you have them like standard steak with chips and mushrooms!
Freezer rammed, might have to give T's a miss the morrow...
Lynx set and other gift sets RTC but alas shelf empty,
cheese and cider gift rtc £3,
cheese and port gift rtc £4,
How much (in case our shelves are not similarly empty)? Probably cheaper than M:o:o - it doesn't take too much to be cheaper than M:rotfl:.0 -

Oh no:(, not 50p Pot Noodles again:mad::mad: - that'll be no good for wombles. And Mug Shots can often be got cheaper elsewhere - people think 50p is a good price:wall:!0 -

Good evening!
Went to Tesco and Asda today after mid afternoon.
Asda was very quiet, not much Christmas stuff at all. I did find Asda brand roasted & salted almond (300g) and pistachios in shell (300g) for £1.25 each. I thought they were good price.:j Managed to get some 10p veggies as well.
Oh, also popped into Superdrug. They had a ecotool gift set for £4.99. It's this but Superdrug deleted it from their website. Didn't realise how much the RRP was so didn't buy one! :(Going to go back first thing tomorrow.:o
Not pistachios, or not pistachios specifically (I have no idea what they are), but mixed nuts in shell (300g) now £1 RTC in M. There are other nuts (227g:( and :rotfl: at my frowning!) also on £1 RTC. I do not know what price the 400g Chestnuts now are - I have lost those this time:rotfl:. I think that may be a temporary loss as only able to use 3 stores due to restricted opening today. I did have the chestnuts in one of my nearby stores as one of my 'last remaining stores' with them before Christmas - wonder if they are still there. I was logistically not able to use my nearby stores and manage three in the day as I needed to have stores that would help me find a wider range of items. I also couldn't use the nearer (than today's store but not nearby) small store that has a lot of the wider range. There are a lot of items the small store doesn't have that I did need to have elsewhere and I needed three stores to try to piece up this non-small store range. I would probably therefore have needed a further store if I used the small one and, even though some stores in that area are closer together, I think trying to drive through urban areas in the afternoon would have meant I couldn't make four! So, I had a cunning plan to use three other stores instead (three very carefully selected ones to try to get the wider range required) and, whilst I've lost a few items (temporarily maybe), I'm actually not that many short - not that many more than the usual I normally have missing after six.
So, whether or not "they" (the APG or TBG, or both) have done price collections today, I have done one anyway. I think I've actually done rather well and found many of the items I needed to see. There was almost no traffic on the roads at 8am today on this Monday morning - I've seen more traffic in the middle of the night! I managed the three stores planned - and finished what I needed at four minutes to five pm in the last store:rotfl:. All very carefully timed out weeks in advance, as is needed:D. It's some seasonal items that I am missing that happen to have gone from all three - however I've managed to have half the gift sets in one store and half in another:T:j:rotfl:. I nearly lost the Terry's Segsations but they turned up - not much stock but still turned up! - in the final store. Sadly they appear still be to £2 and not to have gone down:rotfl:. Otherwise, the three stores have got me a good range - they were very carefully selected with that aim and it seems largely to have worked:). Of course they all had to be within travelling distance within the day as well so I managed to work that in. Some items I don't have but the price of some can be guessed from other items in the range and I may find the few outstanding ones on Wednesday.0 -
