New product a Morrisons that's 50p cheaper than M&S

Hello Money Saving friends

I used to buy prepared Pomegranate from M&S as it's delicious but so messy in its raw state, but now Morrisons is doing exactly the same product for 50p cheaper (£1.25 as opposed to £1.75).

It's my favourite fruit, so I just thought I'd share my find with you!

    You can buy a whole one for about £1, the seeds will stay fresher in their own skin than a plastic tub and are not hard to remove!

    !!!!!! these miracle-foods faddist nuts falsely inflating costs. When I were young the fruits were (in real terms) a darn site less than a pound. No yuppie mark-ups.

    And what sort of sad-sac is so deluded with self-importance that they 'do not have time' to peel and nibble the fruit themselves? Complete madness. An occasional bite of pith is all part of the experience.

    ...but even more pointedly - what a silly title to this thread!!! Since when is a product being cheaper in Morrissons than it is in Marks and Spencers noteworthy?!?! If it were the other way round, then go ahead, but this way round...

    Excuse the grumpiness but that is just silly.

    I'm still trying to work out what the new product is. Seems to me Morrisons are now selling an old product with the skin taken way, not a new product.

    It's really not hard to prepare fresh pomegrante - just cut it in half, and then turn it cut side down and hit the back of it with a wooden spoon. The seeds will start to fall out, and then you can eat them :) They taste so much nicer fresh than packaged, and it's cheaper.

    This takes me back a bit, as kids we used to painstakingly pick out each seed with a pin and eat them. It used to take us hours lol
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
