    ok here goes, I make a boo boo on walker crisps:eek: am pretty sure it was £1 at sains too. Should have bought 2 & not 3:eek:



    1 x ASDA Plums (500g)£1.00N/A
    1 x ASDA Salad Tomatoes (6)£1.00£1.00
    2 x Heinz Five Beanz in Tomato Sauce (415g)£1.68£1.68
    1 x Richmond Irish Recipe Thick Sausages (12 per pack ...£2.00£1.50
    3 x Walkers Baked Stars Mild Sweet Chilli (6x23g)£3.00£3.69
    1 x Barratt Flumps Mallow Twists£0.10£0.10
    1 x Haribo Tangfastics Mini£0.10£0.10
    3 x ASDA Boneless Lamb Leg Steaks (310g)£10.00N/A
    1 x Nestle Ski Smooth Low Fat Strawberry & Raspberry Y...£1.58£1.00
    1 x Nestle Ski Low Fat Variety Fruits Yogurt (4x120g)£1.58£1.00



    The ski - tekco & waity & morris same offer as Sains. So that can be your additional shopping list. Must buy in 2


    Did another shop but I have 2 reduced vegs and they do not count as min. 8 items so can't compare.

    Now I know - which means we can put in the reduced items on the list & they don't compare reduce items with the full price of competitor shop. Unless I am wrong. Will try my next target with reduced items in it & see what came out rather than me doing 2 transactions.
