Morning

No knock at the door but my first box of twine arrived this morning. The sparkling but no red.

I did phone and apparently my order was not due to be delivered until tomorrow so they have no tracking info yet. :eek:

Anyway happy with this box, 6 bottles of Prosecco not a Lambrini or Lambrusco or Asti in sight. :T

Not huge variety though 3 of each of one called da luca and this one https://www.tesco.com/wine/product/details/default.aspx?No=40&N=8134&id=293458822

Think I have had good value at £5 a bottle. :beer:

Cant wait for my 3 fizz to come later, soooo excited.

Marks Sparks have sent me a mailing for getting over 5000 points - must be OHs account.
20% off clothing, beauty and homeware valid from 22nd to 26th Feb - I don't think it would have worked anyway in conjunction with this weeks £5 off dresses or £6 wys £30 on tops anyway. Or the various percentage discounts off various clothing catergories.

The vouchers are multi use in store but only one usage online - I've got 5 friends and family vouchers.

OH Thanks Would never had have thought of that

Never know till you try. Had it last year when I was just out of hospital and my sc returns were late. I explained why and each 'fine' was squashed. Good luck.

I have returned here and now notice the insert on the front page that it's reported that some posts possibly advocate fraud. This raises an issue of concern for me, namely: am I happy to be associated with a thread on which people advocate, or potentially advocate, fraud? The answer is no. Although I have not seen any evidence of fraud, I am wondering if I should put a disclaimer in my sig. actively disassociating myself from any fraud or advocating of it. I may well 'resolve' the situation that way, to try to avoid people (who do not regularly use this thread or just happen to land on it) seeing the insert and getting the wrong impression from it that I am associated with fraud by posting on the thread and by not actively disassociating myself from the allegation.

I have returned from M, from what was supposed to be a partial check today and found that someone at M has finally discovered that M was underpriced on its value range:(. As a result, M has increased some prices so now's the time to rush to A to buy their equivalents if you really want/need them before the prices go up.

There are also some prices in the range that have gone down:huh:. However, the general trend is upwards, or to stay the same as has, it seems, happened on the many items whose prices appear to have remained unchanged (it's possible my store has not got round to changing all SELs yet).

It seems that:
Custard tin is now 20p
Rice Pudding 20p
Lemon Curd has now gone up to 28p:eek:
Curry Sauce is now 26p
Apple and Mint Sauce are each now 30p
Vegetable Cup Soup and Chicken Cup Soup gone to 25p in M
Savers Herbs may have gone up and I think there is some change on the Spices (the Spices, I think, unfortunately the prices will have to be swallowed as there are no equivalents in A)
Savers Furniture Polish is 40p (again, no equivalent in A)
On the frozen food items,
Oven Chips are 81p!
Beef Burgers are £1.20!
Chicken Nuggets 75p!
Breaded Chicken Burger £1!
Fish Fingers 70p!

I think I will go to another store now to do this properly and add another hour in working out what I have left. Wider than SP-equivalent items, there is certainly enough to keep me busy already. I do not currently know about frozen Chicken Kievs as what now turns out to be my first store today does not have them and I also don't know whether Savers Shampoo appears to be remaining at 40p.
