The milk won't stand up in the middle of the fridge

Something for after the watershed....
After learning of his wife’s infidelity, a cuckolded husband left a brilliant letter for the other man. He posted this note to Craigslist with an image of a dirty sock using the heading “To the guy doing my wife:”
To the guy doing my wife. You know who you are. Yes I know. No I am not angry, I would just ask a few things of you. After all you are giving it to my wife.
1.Please stop leaving the seat up, I keep getting blamed and it is starting to get old.
2.You may be giving me a chance to go fishing more often but please stop drinking all my beer. It is fine if you have a couple while you visit(god knows
I drink plenty before I find her attractive), but please leave me a few as I have to be there longer than you.
3.If you do drink the last one buy more or leave money on the counter I will pick some up.
4.Please replace the toilet paper when you use it all. For some reason my 5 year old son believes if its not there he does not have to wipe. We keep it under the sink, unless you can recommend a better spot?
5.After doing my wife please use something disposable to wipe off with. The basket of clothes on the right is mine and the clothes are clean as my wife does not do my washing, I run out of time rushing to work. Last week my sweatshirt was crusty(thanks).
6.Please do not tell my children that you are their uncle, they are young not
mentally challenged.
7.Please stop turning the heat up, You pay nothing and MUD is putting it in my !!!, my wife may like it but I think it hurts.
8.When she asks “do these pants make me look fat”, say no. You may think giving a different answer will make her think twice about eating a gallon of ice cream a day but all you are doing is giving her a reason to go buy more pants that she will look just as fat in.
9.Stop eating the baked goods. The brownies you ate were from my mom for my birthday. My wife has not cooked anything that good for years and if she does she will not share.
10.Try shifting your weight when you sit on my chair. The recliner that I rarely have time for (soccer games and practice, basketball camp for the kids takes much of my time and I try to help with school work too)has a grove in it that forces me to roll to the left.
Lastly I would like thank you for taking her to lunch on Valentines Day. She was not as hungry as usual and only ordered one meal.I may be able to use the money I saved to take the children to a movie. I hope you can help me with these items, it may become awkward if I have to confront her. If you can do this for me I will give you a heads up on when I will be gone and for how long so that you don’t feel rushed.
P.S. I am going to take the kids to the Great Wolf Lodge on the 3rd of April for four days, I have a bottle of vodka above the fridge if you find yourself low on beer.100 -

I only have A SP Brown Sauce and that says store in the fridge. I always thought the vinegar was a preservative? But anyway - either seems fine.

They are one of the crisps that are oos so should act as a trigger at some point.
Not so. Or, not necessarily. I had these (McCoy's Classic Crisps) on a womble last week where they and some French Fries appeared on the comp. at full price £1.45 each. McCoy's were an OOS glitch. However, I tried them myself the following day - I didn't post - but, unfortunately, the McCoy's Classic appeared to have refreshed as they appeared on the comp. picking up the mbuy (£1.00 A) with the French Fries:(. (In fact the resultant APG on the shop was so low it wasn't even worth printing. So, full 2 for £2 price to A:p.)
I'm not bothering doing the M list at the moment and I haven't been to M today. I think I'm just having some time off from it. The next time I go to M for this will probably be 22nd February. And then I may leave it off and no go again until 13th and/or 15th March. I'll eventually update to last Wednesday's prices, so bringing it more up-to-date than what it currently is although some of it will be out of date and thus need checking msm/m.com to see that prices haven't changed since (where they are even showing on there). I assume it's already common knowledge that Shredded Wheat Honey Nut (500g) has been and is (until 21st February according to msm) £1 in M, therefore Avs M. Bitesize Shredded Wheat (500g) is also £1 in M, however do *not* buy that in A (£2.49) as it extremely likely does not appear on the comp. at all as it appears it is not on a.com. I can't say as the shop was not done today but it did not appear at all a week ago.
Strange things as the McCoy's did not seem to be on a.com, at least not when signed out; however they picked up the mbuy by the day I bought them.
So, the best price per unit on the Bitesize Shredded Wheat should be Avs T at £1.59, as Avs M £1 most probably indeed does not work (works out more expensive for a 500g pack in A than buying 750g in T outright - £2.49 500g A; £1.59 750g T) and straight £1 in M is more expensive per unit than 10% off T's price.
The McCoy's may drop off, however leaving £1.45 vs 75p on French Fries (assuming T is still on offer then) is not really good as it misses out £1.45 vs £1.00 for the McCoy's that was much better on the date of the womble last week. I think it's hardly worth it at invisible trigger (if/when that happens) - total cost after APG £1.225 - uh, I don't know, just over 60p each may be alright:think: - but the womble price (not available now) was about 34p each. However, I have my two packs now at £1 each:rotfl::(. I'm glad I only tried one shop and didn't buy any more of them.0
