What are they doing buying the Sport bottles?!:eek: (Full price vs full price:rotfl: - presumably £3 Sains: still full price in my view as offer prices are £1.92.) Surely should be buying the Lucozade 6x380mls in A at £3.70 that M has at £2?

The Muller(:rotfl:) is obviously better for us at £3.88:T. They've been getting £2 Mullers for me:( - the worst possible price to buy them at in my view - and I think losing out against everywhere except M - basically putting their shop towards vs M alone and only contributing 20p there:(. Instead of the nice £2.08.

On the cake mixes - SP Sponge Mix equivalent 22p in M of course:rotfl: - I have Paul Hollywood Dorset Apple Loaf Cake Mix (336g) at £1 in M. £2 in T - should not compare on TBG however: if the system works as it should even people buying ten qualifying items will pay more on their branded shop even if M is otherwise cheaper (and 10% above average price in T according to msm) as M is RTC. If another competitor than M is cheaper, then people may get the prices of the branded items that the other competitor has at the competitor prices, including brands that are more expensive than what should be T's shelf price at the competitor, but if they are buying the Paul Hollywood product they should, if the product is non-comparable elsewhere, be obtaining it for £2 from T and thus paying T twice the price for it of what appears to be M's current cost.

Of course, being on RTC in M, the Loaf Cake Mix should be available at some M either now or fairly soon, at even cheaper marked down store specific sticker reduction - or else it may go to lower than £1 national RTC at some point in the hopefully not-too-distant future. I always pick items up as soon as I see them - however perhaps it should be never go for the first RTC price:money:. So, hold fire - if no-one buys it, it may have to come down in price even more (certainly if they really do wish to clear it, in the hypothetical situation of no-one being attracted by the £1 clearance price).

Thank u savvybuyer and zippy for information on colgate toothepaste deal at Tesco. I was hoping it was going to be free or paid to take away. Dont know why I even considered it as have a huge stash already but you will all understand.

So what compensation are the elite expecting from tsb? Are you happy with the increase in the interest rate or are you running

evening all,
Im back from babysitting in London got back yesterday early evening.
Arrived down there last sunday not a trace of the marathon apart from loads of rubbish..my son and family were at one of the watering stations, and they ran out of water!!! so the YHA got the hose out and water cups...a lot of complaints by the runners apparently but my son got some wonderful photos.
The eldest GS whos 3 had an awful head cold and conjunctivitis he awoke Monday morning with both eyes stuck together, but after bathing them and instilling eye drops regularly they were almost better when I left, I just hope the little one doesn't contract it..
as I sleep on a blow up mattress in the lounge at DS, it has now got a slow puncture so after 2 hours I have to inflate it again and then repeat again, by about 4 am I end up on the settee...then as GS was really restless Tuesday night...his mum and him ended up on my deflating bed and me on the settee...talk about musical beds!!!!!
so therefore no epic days out this week..i did venture into boots got the magazine and the code for the 17 products...so a few orders waiting for me at my local boots when arriving home.
On the drive down the red warning light went on this has been an on going saga with the adblu system...the car went to the main dealer last week to be repaired, we hung around all day drinking free coffees until it was fixed, but obviously it wasn't!!!!
so back again ..100 mile round trip and 2 cars go to the dealer again...caf! rouge for lunch, afternoon tea (well coffee really) courtesy of Mr Gregg, and it would have been water from Mr W.H Smith but they had run out:(
Popped into SD which was in the same shopping centre as caf! rouge, and wow !!!!!:)
palmolive handwash 500ml 25p
herbal essence dry shampoo 7p
loreal hair mousse 3p
munchkins water heat reacting ducks for the bath 30p
kiddies feeding bowls 8p
pantene foam conditioner 4p
elvive volume mousse 35p
so lots of goodies
back to the dealer as they had forgotten to ring us, and they have now said the car needs a whole new system due to a fault..so back home minus the poorly car,
Quick pop into A for nivea but they only had 3 but managed to get a couple of rtc for supper:)
tomorrow DH + gs dental appointments for fillings,
I have hair appointment and an eye test--
and as luck would have it I have an eye test voucher come thru with the junk mail
So back hopefully for a repaired car on Saturday,
then back to London sunday....and in between time washing and housework and sleep....:)
