oops to be clearer. like for like. for an outside cabin.

not inside on one outside on the other.

19 dayer outside select is currently £110 each per night. but i will get free parking worth about £120 + £90 each + £25 each spending money. + £90 quidco or £120 topcash if i join.
all in all the select price only works out at about £50 more than saver if you take all the guaranteed savigs into account. plus we will get our cabin choice and port buses. and not least a table for 2 at dinner.


edit i may pay for the parking and get an extra £85 each spending money.

2nd edit so at the moment select v saver for an outside works out at £50 each more.
so may get the saver after all.

To save that much, would it not be worth getting the train down?

There might be some bargains to be had in lush when it closes down off the back of their latest advertising campaign :eek:

Their FB page has 20k 1* reviews and counting. Their visitor wall is on fire!

Interesting. Milk costs are something we need to look at now -despite OH afternoon muesli and morning porridge eating we are not getting through milk fast enough now.
He said to me yesterday "was your morning tea tasting OK" I said "yes"- "OH he said the milk was 5 days out of date" :mad:
Either he thinks I need some danger in my life to spice things up or he is trying to see me off :rotfl:

Most of the best offers seem to be the buy 2 bottles versions.

The other confusing thing is that some bottles are 4 pints and some are 2 litres so its difficult to compare without a maths degree.

Farmfoods' 2L milk gone up to 2 for £1.60:(. Thus making A's 6 pint milk now cheaper but only if you have a colleague discount card or when bought on a comparison shop with at least 7 additional wasteful spending yet more money items that I don't currently have:mad: and only if the 10% isn't lost by another item on the shop:(, otherwise at straight £1.48 it's more expensive than Farmfoods' increased price!

Yet again it's about getting us to spend more money and buy more in order to "save":(:p.

The "saving" on colleague card/10% off competitor's price is about 2-4 pence per 2x2L:(, depending on which competitor's price is relevant on your shop if applicable - and seven more items are going to cost you more than 2-4 pence. So, even if you add a 10p Haribo that you weren't otherwise buying but just to get the 8 items or if you buy a 4p carrot, you have immediately lost any saving and, if it costs you more than 2-4p, as the Haribo certainly does (even if compared against T in hopeless sixes - even more more money being spent:p), you are paying more.

On best comparison, against M, A's 6 pint is just under 3p less expensive than Farmfoods 2x2L adjusted to price per 6 pint. So anything else more than 3p in your shop and the saving is gone. It seems it can only be saved on just buying the one item of milk alone when using a colleague discount - or maybe :idea: actually a competitor's milk is cheaper if their discounts are more than 10%, but then only if you work for/have a colleague card for the competitor supermarket to A. The only other circumstance I can see is if there is some A somewhere that has a really old SEL showing a lower price than the actual £1.48 and then £2 GC, or some competitor shop with DTD etc. - however I really doubt that that is going to exist.
