  • Great isn't it I just wish I could train DH who spends on £80 on a shirt :eek: they are nice shirts but even so :rotfl:

    :eek::eek:I bet you still have to iron the shirt too!

    I love buying clothes cheap, I have some silk limited edition trousers from M&S I got for £1.10 (strange amount lol), I got a silk designer dress in TK Maxx for £19, got my whole wardrobe for the cruise in the M&S 90% sale a few years back (got really lucky that time). I think the last time I paid full price for any clothing was a dress I needed in a hurry, got it from Roman's for £35, and that hurt :rotfl::rotfl:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Thank you Izzey - but I don't understand how this works as the 5beans etc show on a.com as 90p or 3 for £2. I thought it wouldn't work if the Asda site still had the multi buy. I know my brain is on a go slow !


    Think it is usual for the ending offers to still show on asda dotcom.
    Hopefully this should work the same as the other ending offers posted before. Just can't guarantee comparisons, especially against Morries.

    SEL in store I have been in this morning to look at clothes wasn't showing any offer ;)

    I haven't bought any beans sausages/soup etc as I still have enough for a good while from last time :)

    It will still show the offer on the website as it's still on today. However if you click on 'view all' where it says 3 for £2 then it will come up with a message saying that "We are sorry, but none of these products are available at your store." That's how you know it's the last day.

    Good afternoon.

    Heads up ... as predicted not a week ago, VM are now sending out price rise notifications so another chance to leave/renegotiate.
    https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/virgin-media-price-increase-2018-leave-penalty-free-by-september-30th-3017287

    What is extremely annoying is when you pay line rental in advance which they say is non-refundable. If you have a right to cancel due to them raising the price of the bundle, then the line rental should be refundable as they are changing your contract (hence the right to cancel). Ofcom should have forced them to sort this by now as it is an unfair contract term?

    Edit - maybe so am mistaken and the rules have been clarified - here is an example discussing BT - https://www.theguardian.com/money/2017/nov/26/bt-wont-refund-line-rental-leaving-regulator.

    HTH

    Just did a quack chick v W
    105 v 60 or 54 because of 10% equals 51p pag, sada multi is 67 each, so less 51 is 16p a can, is this correct, bought in 15s . 7.65 back per 15 at an original £10 spend , so you could get 30 not Exceeding 9 of each and get pag 15.30 on 20 spend.
    Me confused now and Brian hurts lol

    I've just had a quack chick braveheart ;) can't see any in Asda at £1.05 :o

    so...

    100 v 60 or 54 because of 10% equals 46p pag, sada multi is 67 each, so less 46 is 21p a can, bought in 15s . 6.90 back per 15 at an original £10 spend , so you could get 30 not Exceeding 10 of each and get pag 13.80 on 20 spend.

    Thank you Izzey - I don't often try these glitches and I know that they are not guaranteed. Your efforts are appreciated as always.

    Morning

    These are showing ending today at the moment but will need checking again in the morning - along with my sums :o EDIT still showing same as earlier so should be good to go


    Heinz 3 for £2.00 offer. Beans+Saus/Spag+Saus/Macaroni/Spag Bol/Ravioli v Tesco 3 for £2.00 offer. Works out 26/27p each after APG

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle-661203_2755676.html

    BBQ beans/chilli/curry beans v Sainsbobs 80p each work out about 44p each after APG

    The 5 beans should compare to Morries 60p each, works out 25/26p each after APG


    Also 4 for £3.00 soup offer. Heinz/Batchelors Cup a Soups/Ainsley Cup a Soups

    Heinz soups should compare to Tesco/Morries/Waitrose 4 for £3 offer and Sainsbobs 75p each. Works out 47.5 each after APG

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle-741961_2691464.html

    Ainsley cup a soups v Tesco 2 for £1.00 offer, works out at 20p a box after APG

    Batchelors cup a soups should compare to Morries 3 for £2.00 offer. Would have to buy in 12s and no more than 10 of one flavour; works out 28p a box after APG

    Can't see any good comparisons for any of the Baxters or Crosse & Blackwell

    Don't just rely on comparisons on Mysupermarket. Check varieties on store website too.
    Check offer comes off at till, ignore SEL as unlikely to show the offer

    .

    Crosse & Blackwell are 4 for £3 in M.

    Yep it would if you want to get 15 cans (no more than 10 of one).

    Couldn't think it through at 2.10 am earlier lol

    Spag bol etc Waities 5 for £3 - would mean buying 15 for £10, for a £6.90 apg, so 21p each

    5beans/bbq/chilli works out 26p each

    Can't take the credit for the sums but they are correct :D

    .
    Can I buy a mixture or does it have to be same flavour
