Well playing humbug, im not happy xmas eve is on a Saturday. I enjoy my Saturday evening at my local to enjoy winding down from the week with a bit of peace. It will be crammed and I will get roped into serving and washing glasses instead. (Which I dont mind doing, as it helps out, obvs).

It's to stop people from taking down the site with a Ddos (distributed denial of service) attack - they must be having high usage at the moment with all the Black Friday stuff on

Odd pricing in S and M (S and M:D:naughty:) on these at the moment:

1x Heinz Beanz in Tomato Sauce (415g) £0.75 £0.60
1x Heinz Beanz in Tomato Sauce (200g) £0.65 £0.65

I mean, why would anyone at all be buying 200g at the moment there? Or indeed in A, given the comparison against both stores. Unless there is any cashback of which, as usual, I am unaware. It seems cheaper to buy 415g even if you only want 200g and waste the other 215g. It could be said that something like this encourages waste, although the prices arise by the chance of there being an offer on the 415g tin (no good as I expect 50p or less:rotfl::rotfl:) and it's possible the manufacturer could be paying for the offer.

Some good comparisons on this shop against M:

Comparison total (compared products only) £25.97 £26.11
cheaper +£0.14

1x McVitie's Digestives Milk Chocolate (300g) £1.50 £1.00 (if you want to pay more for muggles' 300g instead of £1 on 500g (not available at the moment) - in any event, own label at 44p before was cheaper, the CBY version if kept away from a comp. shop - everyday value still available from T at 44p)
1x ASDA Baker's Selection Jam Donuts (5pk) £0.65 £0.50 (if you want to pay more than whoopsies, except for those put onto an M comp. shop:( that work out the same)
1x ASDA Ibuprofen 200mg Capsules 16 Pack (200mg) £0.60 £0.35 (if you still want to end up paying more than the caplets or tablets in A, where necessary when they are kept away from any unfavourable comparisons on the APG that, in effect, put their prices up)
1x Tetley Pure Green Tea Bags (50pk) £2.15 £1.25 (also vs S - Northern Ireland) (if you want to pay more than vs cheaper previous offers for £1 for these at a competitor)

Even after these 'good' items or, rather, good comparisons on a womble, A still works out cheaper by just 14p:(. Just looking at the comp., it seems to me that two items in particular are bad vs M:

1x Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid (1.35l) £2.00 £3.00 (compares vs £2 at T)
1x Tena Incontinence Lady Extra Plus Duo Pack (16pk) £3.70 £4.50 (compares at least equally badly against everywhere else)

The Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid (checks a.com)... is a rollback.

And the Tena Lady pack... is a rollback:(:(. Avoid buying rollbacks!:mad:

DM (and others), the 14,000 nectar points offer for taking out life insurance is still about

I did this in the summer. Paid 5x£5 monthly premiums and got my 14,000pts paid out last week

You can do it twice per household per 12 months

https://www.sainsburysbank.co.uk/life-insurance/index

You also get double points in sainsburys as long as you hold the policy so that might cancel out a little bit of the premium
