    Hmm, there seems there may be a link here. Mr T's share price has plunged by around 10% after reporting profits down. This being when I have thought they had gone back to having several good offers at the same time and my Avs T shopping was back on. They were doing well in the first six months of this year, when I thought there was just one good item and virtually nothing else for what was then Avs T. I think profits may go back up next time - there's now about one good item worth buying from T again IMO:(. Virtually impossible to do an APG shop today for the one item, as the seven extra items would cost more than the 10% (which is lowered on items that are on low price offer elsewhere). Now just buy the single item from T when needed and nowt else.

    There may be wider changes in the market affecting profits, but there is clearly a link and we only save money at the expense of them.

    I would also like to add my thanks to OP!


    No 20p offers in the World Food aisle in the Sainsburys I've just been in, but I noticed that KTC chickpeas, black eyed beans and tinned tomms are on offer at 30p.


    I found quite a few sauces at 20p :T. I bought Red's Triple 6 Hot Sauce, Red's Dirty Burger Sauce, Gourmet Burger Kitchen Chilli Relish, and Levi Roots Smokey BBQ Coat 'n Cook Sauce, all at 20p. The GBK sauce was on the RTC aisle end, but the rest were in their usual places on the shelves. There were a few other sauces in that area reduced to 20p but sold out. There was also a SEL for 20p for Planters roasted peanuts in the RTC area but sold out.


    No corned beef for me, which is a shame!

    Yes I thought that when posting - well done on the OP finding all that stuff:T. I never seem to be able to manage to buy 20p items from S. Any good 20p prices I have been able to find in my S have had no stock to find and the items have been completely no trace or have shown and scanned at full price at any other S I try.

    I have been able to find 20p items in my S but none that were any good or any items I wanted.

    Hi Josie_ann,



    Were the burger sauces 20p or 50p?



    Morning all! No Quidco wins for me. I did pop into Waitrose to use up another of my £2 off wys £10 vouchers. They work quite nicely with the Benecol yoghurt on Shopmium.


    Thanks for the Dr Oetker coupon :-). I also have a lot of those desserts in a mug from last year, they're actually rather tasty I just haven't got round to using them up!

    Sorry for late reply, I can't login at work. The sauces were 20p.😀

    That's okay! I was just trying to work out whether I could be bothered to go to Sainsburys myself. I did, and I'm glad I did! I am now the proud owner of 'a few' sauces....

    Can I ask for some advice please

    Am I correct in thinking that if I pay a company ie THE RANGE, for goods my contact is with them.

    I am being given the run around about a refund as they could not deliver in the agreed timescale so I had to cancel the order They are saying they need to wait for the supplier to refund them but when I asked for written details of this policy it does not exist

    My monies have now been with them for a month

    Thanks in advance
