Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Freewheeling

By the way, I have a funny story from the weekend.


My husband and I were in Plymouth at the weekend and we popped into a mini Asda (I've never seen those before!) to look for those Cheesetring snack box things for Shoppmium. Whilst we were in there we found some Mr Kipling cakes reduced to 30p a box. So we bought 3. We then carried on walking up the road, and I was carrying the cakes in my hand. The traffic was really busy and it's a wide, 3 lane road. The passengers in a car in the furthest away lane wound down their windows and one of them shouted "Oi oi, Mr Kiping!" at us. I waved at them and told them that they were reduced to 30p in the shop just behind us. A few seconds later the car caught up with us again and one of the guys shouted "I'll give you 20p for a cake!", I just laughed. Then he said "50p for a box!", then "£1 for a box!". So I crossed 2 lanes of almost stationary traffic and sold them 2 boxes for £2. :rotfl::rotfl:


So then my husband and I walked back to Asda and bought another 3 boxes! No one else offered to buy those from us sadly. So, in total I spent £1.80 and ended up with 4 boxes of My Kiplings and 20p better off.

It doesn't seem to give them when redeeming a free drink on the app or when you hand over a full loyalty card (notice the loyalty card needs 9 stamps and 10th free, the app 7 then 8th free if I recall?). It did give them when using the AP vouchers so if friends how Wontu appear on their system.

I just tried for a large drink but unfortunately the till didn’t like it and so I pleaded ignorance - I thought for any size

My T's pork was on the counter with a big sign saying today's deal. The sa had plenty in the fridge, weighed me a couple to choose the best! Thanks op! I have dds arriving this weekend so that will be lovely!

That's a good website you've found.
Our boiler about 5 years ago was £1700.
I had 3 quotes, chose the guy who was recommended to me but I had a few issues with him and wouldn't recommend to anyone else!
So it's a difficult decision, time consuming if you let it and expensive.

Not sure about the tea, it's a bit limp even though it says it's an Assam blend.
Think the cheap Twynings Assam from A a couple of years ago has a lot to live up to.

Where did you get this info from bubbs?
Not in my T and I cannot see it online either, wish I'd checked before doing an hour's round trip hey ho :eek:

I don't know where Bubbs got the info from but it is certainly available at £2 per Kg. Its not the prepacked stuff so don't waste effort searching the chillers - its on the fresh meat counter ! I had to ask and the staff didn't seem to know about it but one of the managers (that I interrupted in the middle of one of their 'huddle' meetings on the shop floor) told me where it was. Limited supply (only one joint left at 9.30 am) so need to go early.

Morning all!


I popped into town this morning on my way to work and picked up my Greggs hot drink and PV cupcake :-). I got the mocha from Greggs, very tasty! I didn't scan my Greggs app because I've got money loaded onto it and as it's just one QR code I don't know if there's a way to scan the app without it paying for it as well. If you see what I mean.
