Hmmm. Géant/Casino v Auchan. Advantage Géant/Casino
Last week I went to Auchan armed with Gwilym's "back to school" list. At the checkout it came to 74 euros. And then I went and forgot my code for my bank card (just two days after Pat forgot hers...)
Anyway, I then got a message that Géant were giving 20% off back to school stuff in the form of a gift voucher. OK - worth a go. After all, 20% is 20%. So despite today being a public holiday (Fête de l'assomption) I scuttled off to Géant armed with Gwilym's and Catrin's lists - and my cheque book.
And it came to under 100 euros for the both of them. Not bad, considering that Catrin had to have special swanky stuff whereas Gwilym could get away with the cheaper exercise books. And we have that voucher for nearly 20 euros.
I meant to take a photo of the back to school aisles for you. I'll do it soon. It's mind-boggling. And parents zooming all over the place shouting "ardoise !", "travaux prâtiques !", "double décimètre !", "critérium !"
