Does it have a yellow or red sticker over the barcode saying "Reduced! Was £4, now 40p!"?

Asda's reductions always look like real bargains compared the ones I see in Tesco. Tesco have ones like Reduced, was £2.58, now only £2.12 and other such seemingly pointless ones. At least try and fool customers a bit by reducing it 60p and making it appear a quid cheaper!

Had some good deals in the Tesco express today on a few items. Easy to spot the good ones as there were big gaps on the shelves where the stock should be.

There is a specific logic behind the pricing of Asda's reductions so I'm just trying to establish whether or not it was an actual official 'reduction'.

Flapjacks...the safe variety as they are square.

Thornton's mini caramel flapjacks in fact; a quid for a pack of 12 at Home & Bargains.

Bought a nice pair of shoes & a lovely shirt blouse from Jenners at Lomond shores. It was a real nice day yesterday & then we went in for a Fish Tea.

You bought Aquilegia (Columbine) sometimes called Grannies Bonnets? :shrug: This plant self seeds so you are going to have millions springing up all over the place next year.

We've got loads already, but we got different colours and shapes, so we'll be cutting back some of the more boring ones later this year. There's an incredible variety of Aquilegia.

My husband Joe paid for them. When I took out my purse to pay. He said. " I will get these for you" So I still have my money. He does that often. ;)

Yes, they self-seed, so they come back. You can but them as seeds or as plants. This is the time of your to but them as plants. However, as implied above, the nicer varieties can get a bit pricey (as with most garden plants).
