    Re my earlier post

    (3 x Sticky toffee pudding £3.50 each
    3x Garlic Flat bread £2.50 Each
    3 x Gammon £4.00 Each
    3 x Toretta Di Mondelli £9.49 each

    Total £58.47
    -£16.47 - Wine 3 for £12
    -£2.00 - Meat 3 for £10
    - £28.47 - 3 x meal deal

    Total to Pay £11.53 !!!)

    I wonder if its possible to get this glitch any lower in price? The Gu puddings are £2.99 instead of £3.50 I paid , the roast potatoes are £2.00 instead of the £2.50 I paid for the garlic bread, and the White Toretta is £8.99 instead of the £9.49 I paid for the red - but that is as far as my poor brain can take the calculations!!! Would be interesting to hear if anyone can get it any lower!
    Happy Glitching ! :rotfl:

    I have the gammon, Goose fat roast potatoes, sticky toffee pudding , chicken en croute , cottage pie and garlic bread - just about to freeze them all . Says on the packet can be frozen for a month but who actually does this ?!

    I 'think' its all on the wine, yours was £9.49 so in effect an extra £1.50 was removed through the 3 for £12 deal. The only other deal seems to be the meat, and only if you buy 3 gammons.

    They're covering their @rses.

    If you have a deep freeze freezer you can freeze it all quite happily for 6 months

    This looks like a brilliant glitch! I'm maybe being thick or missing something...is there a specific meal deal on just now or is it just a happy coincidence that this is all working? Just about to head to Sainsburys and have no idea what I'm on the look-out for!

    Thanks!

    THere is a particular meal deal - there should be an end isle dedicated to it. choice of 4 mains, 4 sides, 4 deserts

    I dont think the Mondelli BLUSH will work, as it is not on 3 for £12
