Sorry I know absolutely nothing about nappies, or babies actually

Afternoon Elite. I'm at shop this afternoon as we've had a switch around on Rota so working in Friday afternoons instead of Tuesday's now. But still doing alternate Saturday afternoons

It is very difficult to answer. My son was over 8lb when he was born, seem to recall he was 20lb at around 9 months. My daughter was 6lb 6oz when she was born, hit 20lb at around a year. I think on average it tends to be at around a year give or take a couple of months.

Also, different nappies fit different children differently too, some kids are slimmer than others in spite of being heavier, they are longer or sturdier etc.

Good Afternoon Folks,

Last day of my sick note, so stayed in bed until 11am! Still don't feel right, but I have half term to get back to full fitness.

Alternating between cleaning the fridge and eBaying at eBay station I have set up outside. When I get too warm I pop into the kitchen to do a bit more fridge cleaning!

Will wander over to A soon, before school kids get out, for another 3for2 shop. APG's refusing to scan yesterday, and day before. Do not like the attention from the supervisors. :eek:

Couple of good wombles yesterday, from the worlds cleanest A car park. Trolly guy must be on hols!

Bet there are no Magnums left in Iceland!

Mind has melted after this.
It is Blue Sky thinking AND not tested


Bare with me if these have already bean poynted out.

A vs S

SHOPMYMUM
Free Fuel quark A £1.43 S £.075 PAG £0.75

Nakd Barrs 2 offers BOGOF so can buy 4 different A £0.74 S £0.75 Total pay £2.94, CB £1.48 PAG £0.24 so net £1.22 for 4 bars.

CoSsy

7 Different types of C&G baby food, buy 2 get £1, A 4 for £3, so 75p each, S 60p each, so buying in 4s you pay £3, get £2 CB and PAG for £0.76, so net £0.24 for 4, 6p each (foodbank for me)

colgate max white expert 75ml buy 2 get £6, 6 each but compares to S £3, net 60p profit PAG £6.60

CS
Colgate again 60p profit, best to not use same receipt as CoSy



So one shop Vs S

Fuel Free PAG profit £0.75
Nakd 4 bars net payment £1.22
4 different C&G in pairs, so buy 8 net £0.48
Colgate 2 net PAG profit £0.60 V CoSsy

So 9 DIFFERENT items, no fillers needed, net pay at till £22.39, CB £12.91, PAG £9.11, so overall 37p cost for it all (I think)

Shop 2 A Vs S
2 other C&G in pairs buy 4 net 24p
Colgate 2 net pag profit 60p using CS
= 3 different items, need at least 5 filler, 6 for safety, so spend £18 plus fillers. CB £8.00 PAG £7.36
Net to pay £2.64 plus fillers
You could use 2 walkers as filler A = free , S 1.70, but 10% rule means a net profit of 24p PAG, so only 3 fillers needed and net £2.40 excluding them

So for 2 shops will be under £3 for
1 fuel
4 nkd bars
12 C& G
4 Colgate
2 crisps(?)

And pop into !!!!!! for free 2l Fanta at end

SORRY Cow & Gate is £1 in Sains, APART from Courgette and chicken pasta & Cauliflower and turkey, which ARE 60p.
My mistake, sorry

I sent an email to local foodbank asking what they need. They thanked me for other donations and sent me this list or needed items.

At the moment we are requiring tinned fruit and veg, longlife milk and fruit juice, sanitary products for women and baby food, nappies and wipes.

We have plenty beans, soup, pasta and cereal.
Looks like C&G are gonna get a hit from me. Will also see about other things too, as I have had a good 3 4 2 shopping spree and feel a moral obligation to share a bit of my good fortune. OH, PS,

UHT Semi Skimmed milk 6 pack compares to S net 64p for each litre, AND adds weight to donation through !!!!!!

£4.75 7.9p / 100ml






£4.25

My local food bank puts announcements on their facebook page of things they are short of.
They always seem to be short of tinned streamed puddings - its always puzzled me.
They never were a big event on our menus and it must have been 20 years since I last bought them.
Does anyone eat tinned sponge pudding nowadays?
