I actually got back over £100 in points. That must have been some send off. Are you King Charles? Only worth 2 to a penny aren't they?

Not any more, they've stopped that now. I used to get a 4 pack of beer every 3 months out of it. Just another example of how modern life gets shitter every day.

Kopek Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Truth is IOM, the vast majority of people will not go to any trouble to seek out the best prices through any comparison site, except Wooley that is!, who needs two hours research before a shop??? 😀 Maybe there should be an App for people who want to compare supermarket prices within 20 miles that tell yopu, enter your MPG and hey presto, Target 26 miles away , go there and save 20p on your chimichanga!!!!! and then back to wallmart for 30 pence off your beans and so and so on. Actually, the Island makes it to easy shop without price comparisons, we don't have a choice, what can we do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't difficult and it takes no time at all beyond that taken to do the shopping. It's @IOM and @CrazyDave that keep coming up with lists of unlikely shopping combinations that are not the best buys. I've just edited them and offered better options. I am surprised about one thing, and that's how unsophisticated many of the denizens of MF appear to be in their shopping habits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is the products list I have used are not necessarily things I buy . These are items I have randomly selected to show a broad shopping pattern . I know you have offered better choices that’s fair enough and I agree with you . But the bit you are missing is I am showing that a wide selection of products are now more expensive at lake Road than across that’s an undeniable fact . Whether you or I or anybody wants to buy them is another matter the analysis is correct . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_manx Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 3 hours ago, woolley said: Takes a lot less time than your comparisons on here. Mrs W can be around a supermarket shop in about an hour (or if I'm with her, 40 minutes). Then that's it for at least a week. It's not really a question of that. People tend to know what their regular items are. They keep a list of those and add extra products to it as they go along. It isn't at all burdensome. I bet doing this and shopping once a week takes less time than being disorganised and going into the damned place every day which seems like the ultimate pain as well as being the least economical. Agree...Looks like there are people who would be happy to go to Tesco multiple times a week .. I am happy with my weekly shops..😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t image a thing more dull than spending anymore than the minimum time required diving into a supermarket. The idea of thinking about it beforehand and weighing up options on a tin of beans makes me shudder. Time spent in a farm shop or a deli can be a pleasant , but Tesco or the co-op? In and out with the minimum hassle or brain power thanks. It’s like hoovering or ironing. Just a chore. Edited March 14 by CrazyDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Wooley, surely you recognise that not everyone, or indeed a majority of shoppers will take such care as you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in and out in around 20 minutes maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
