    I went to the railway station and picked one up this morning but no vouchers in.

    Did you know if you buy anything from Mcd's and keep the receipt (or womble a receipt) and then do the survey online, you can get a big mac and chips for £1.99?

    Good afternoon Elite.
    Hoping everyone is cool, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    Well done Sarah!
    Fuzzgun - I will try to remember to check each morning on the bus for Metro vouchers.

    The only womble I have...

    ...is 1p vs W as A aren't 10% cheaper than W on the Romaine Lettuce Hearts:rotfl::rotfl:.

    1 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda waitrose
    1x Harringtons Complete Dry Cat Food with Salmon & Rice (425g) £1.15 N/A
    1x ASDA Spiral Scourers (4pk) £1.00 N/A
    1x Weight Watchers Layered Summer Fruit Fromage Frais (4x90g) £1.00 N/A
    1x Harringtons Complete Dry Cat Food with Chicken (425g) £1.15 N/A
    1x Impulse Rock & Love Body Spray (75ml) £0.90 N/A
    1x Weight Watchers Layered Caramel & Banoffee Fromage Frais (4x90g) £1.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Chocolate Waffles (6pk) £1.33 N/A
    1x Yazoo Banana Flavoured Milk (1lt) £1.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Smart Price Toilet Roll (12roll) £1.98 N/A
    1x Yazoo Strawberry Flavoured Milk (1lt) £1.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Watermelon Fans (300g) £0.50 N/A
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Romaine Lettuce Hearts (2pk) £1.00 £1.10
    1x ASDA Mild Italian Salad (160g) £0.62 N/A
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Cherry Tomatoes (325g) £0.40 N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only) £1.00 £1.10
    cheaper +£0.10

    I thought this receipt would stand little chance as it had too many 'reduced' items - salad, cherry tomatoes and watermelon fans. My best hope when this happens is against W - all the whoopsies to be N/A and something at W to be cheaper.

    The steel Spiral Scourers are comparing against M's Steel Scourers, correctly, for the first time I have seen:
    1x ASDA Spiral Scourers (4pk) £1.00 £1.00

    However, it's nowadays no good as I have found a 3 pack of steel scourers in Home Bargains for 39p which work out cheaper.

    The reduced cherry tomatoes are only good vs M and W (each of those is N/A). Salad Tomatoes 750g should be vs M £1 (M has been cheaper than that in the past).

    Everywhere except M on this. Versus M:
    1x ASDA Watermelon Fans (300g) £0.50 £2.00:eek:

    Vs M
    1x Harringtons Complete Dry Cat Food with Salmon & Rice (425g) £1.15 £1.00
    1x Harringtons Complete Dry Cat Food with Chicken (425g) £1.15 £1.00

    Which I may have today or I may not. I sometimes look at these bags at £1 in M and think that other bags of more weight work out better. If there are a lot of other pet food aisle items, I get fed up of bothering with standard £1 prices on packs when we have seen cheaper prices before. I only have to see a damaged pack much cheaper on an RTC shelf once and that's it - never wanting the standard £1 price ever again:rotfl:.

    Just had a quick look around a few weeks before I can change my sim only contract. I was looking for a 5gb+ a month 4G for about £10 a month net.


    There is this possibility. Through Qco (£125 possible CB) a big 20gb unlimited calls/texts £22, so £22 x 12 = £264 less £125 = £139 divided by 12 = £11.58 per month.


    For anyone that isn't a huge data user this could almost do for your home internet as well, using tethering. Didn't delve into data rollover etc.
