    Dole Fruits - now appears A are cheaper on Dole Fruits since now have 6 for £2 multibuy, which is lower than 10% cheaper than M's multibuy. But if you don't want 6, buy in 4s vs M (M 4 for 1.50): Dole Fruit in Custard Mango 123g; Dole Fruit in Custard Peach 123g or Dole Fruit in Custard Pineapple 123g. May be able to do some mixing&matching taking advantage of A's buy 6 multibuy but so that total number of Doles bought is also divisible by 4. But remember no more than 10 of any one type of Dole - but you have 3 to use here, to mix and match, and up to 10 of each.
    McVities Temptations removed since internet search suggests Home Bargains are cheaper - HB 59p???

    Think the system is breaking because I am trying to keep my posts down and doing multiposts, perhaps.

    Best go back to just doing individual quotes.
    Oh, that was the other quote I had... AAU1, if you spent less time stripping, and more time decorating, would be done much quicker! [less fun though;)]
