Anybody who's been shopping at @'s last couple of days noticed just how many receipts you could have wombled? :mad::mad:
Bet @'s aren't clearing the trollies at all now.

How long did you cook it for and what temp please ?

Going to make that

I haven't got a temperature on the oven tweets but it was fairly hot for about an hour:)

I put jacket potatoes in the oven too to make the most of it and I'll have them heated up in the microwave tomorrow with beans/cheese

Tweets put a stock cube in a little bit of boiling water and put over veg before you put in oven. You don't need much stock

Panic over ... Mrs Anon's Am3x and my supplemental card turned up today :cool:.

So now to await the points and close my own card .

Do the lounge passes expire if you cancel the card or just after 12 months? Not that it matters this time, as I won't get to use them .

I think I have read that they do stop working.

Got 2 Chicago town pizzas for 4 quid as part of my 2 off 10 spend in W with hopefully also 3 quid back as it won't be as good as I had expected...

Took the afternoon off work to pick DS up from sports ambassador training and then drive to the otherwise of the county to watch dd2 in a school football match....to find she had told us the wrong venue so back across the county to the correct school just in time to see the last 10 mins.....but also just in time to see dd2 score a great solo goal, her teams only goal in a 3-1 defeat.

Well just follow your instincts tweets. Stick a fork in it after 40 minutes maybe and see how it is:)

It was free savvy...paid for with a womble:D

But my bad....I always use Weetabix generically:o

It was actually the Asda own brand 48 pack at £2.49

D'you know, I can't really be bothered to work out how much that 'should' have been in old money. T have a 48 version but T are playing with me as A is 18g per biscuit but T is 17.5g so I'd have to put T's price of £2.50 up a bit but the A product does look like not 10% cheaper so, even though A are cheaper, is a little bit overpriced compared to what it would have been. Therefore that 'overprice' has been wasted and could have been spent on an item better value at A, if there now is any such thing. I always see things differently:rotfl:.

It would now seem better to get 72 pack in A as that's now 28.2p/100g rather than 28.8p/100g for the 48 pack, but the 72 pack would involve paying them more money (more voucher spend in wombles) and seems more expensive than what 48 pack previously vs T would have been. In short, it seems they've caught you either way:rotfl::rotfl:.

The 24 pack SP Wheat Bisks were still 66.6p against Morrisons for much of Wednesday (not available Northern Ireland - 67.5p against Tesco or Sainsbury's there) though they were 63p earlier in the year outside of Northern Ireland until Morrisons put its price up. An argument can be made that SP range is somewhat different and lesser quality and, with no comparison against elsewhere, they have now gone up in A to 74p except for discount card users. They are same price 74p in Morrisons. Personally I would probably now buy those in Morrisons in order to 'punish' A for putting the price up for me, unless Aldi still has its cheaper. I will probably find that Aldi is nowadays the same price:(:wall:. Fortunately I stocked up on Monday and then on Tuesday with SP Wheat Bisks and therefore got 10% off each pack - assuming I manage not to lose the vouchers and/or receipts and use both by the end of October. So A have managed to stop me from switching over to Morrisons on this product for some time yet:rotfl:. Who knows, we may even see a cheaper price on them somewhere in time for when I run out of my seven boxes, that should last me... ooh, all of a month judging by how fast people use things here:(.

People reading my posts would have seen I was stocking up on cereal when the APG was still available. I have no precise idea why, but they were something I needed. I suppose because they are more costly than your average SP tinned product (and therefore the 10% more valuable)? Still doesn't explain my Toilet Cleaner though or my extra purchases of lots of soup:rotfl:. Somehow I have managed to have only 7 cans of Heinz Spaghetti Sausages available for the next 8 months:(. There was no glitch available - I checked instore at the time to make sure, but maybe I should have compared against a competitor mbuy even so? Oh look, they are now on mbuy in A. 3 for £2, still a bit pricey:rotfl::rotfl: compared to even the 50p price that now seems will be the best we can get. They are now challenging me - do I get them with wombles for which I paid nowt now, even at nearly 66.7p each, a bit high compared to their cheapest standard but quite rare offer, or do I wait for 50p somewhere and then pay them cash?:think:

D'you know - I think there might be a price war much later. A could go to 50p and then force T down to the same or maybe T will go to 50p and see A matching that. I might wait till that and then buy them in T with my £9 CC points:rotfl:. I know I should triple, but that seems less worth it now and always sees me spending more in petrol to visit the same few attractions that I wouldn't have visited anyway, in order words spending money I would not otherwise have spent. Conversion to store is notionally the worst way but, after the cost of petrol for the journey for a day out, works out cheaper for me. I won't be spending the whole amount on Spaghetti Sausages.

I spent 49p (for a pack of different apples) to get £7.50 of CC points that was a voucher sent to me. So I bought what was a 'good' offer from T anyway, and nothing else at all, that wasn't available in A for me even though A were going to 10% cheaper and then slightly lower as their pack weight was lower (actually more apples in that than the ones in T) since type of apples I got from T are different to any that I found in A.
