    Good attempt buy you don't need 3 Triangles. Just get 2 and make it 4 Lake district. :A

    You need an even number of cheeses as they are bogof in sainsbobs.
    so 3,3,3 won't work
    nor will 2,4 ,3

    Also it's the
    pilgrims choice EXTRA mature you need

    and lake district MATURE.

    Hth

    Edit: For your first shop i'd just try 1 dairylea, 1 cheese, 2 other cheese. Unless your confident of using a high apg voucher.
    and maybe change the mushy peas for processed peas as they compare at the same price in sainsbobs.

    As said, try the 5/6's, check inputted data, if all else fails, do as a true techie would do, switch off then on, and change the time by a second.

    HAPPYGIRL, the below list is what you need to refer to (edit - and most of it echoes what Call of Trouty has just said)

    For the cheese where it reads "buy in equal numbers" it might be clearer if it said "buy an even numbered number of cheeses"

    i.e. buy 2 cheeses, 4 cheeses, 6 cheeses, 8 cheeses but make sure that ONE of them is either Dairylea REGULAR triangles or 300g Dairylea spread tub

    So the sample shop you posted would be better looking like this

    1 dairylea cheese triangles 280g
    4 Pilgrims choice cheddar 350g
    5 lakecity extra mature cheddar 350g (vary the number of pilgrims and lakecity so that your overall number of cheeses is even. Edit: I really like Call of Troutys idea of doing a small test shop until you get the hang of it)
    1 A scourer
    1 A kidney beans
    1 A mushy peas (these cost more in Sainsburys so you will lose about 10p off the value of your voucher if you buy them in this shop. Replace this item with a 10p flump or chocoalte mouse. if you really want mushy peas then buy them on their own ;)
    1 A tinned tuna
    1 A milk 2 pints
    1 A sp pasta

    The above list contains 9 different items, you need the system to recognise you bought 8 different items and it doesn't always register things when it should. Do yourself a favour and add just 2 more cheap items (eg an onion, a banana, a carrot, a mushroom)

    its worth the extra few pennies outlay, trust me. ;)
