Encouraged Learning In Trading Excellence

Infact, I will step down from giving suggestions, there must be some vegetarians on the board that can give much better suggestions than me.

I'm here (at last) - been out all day.
In answer to your question, I don't think there are - !!!!!! are £4 each at M but someone reported they came back N/A for M. The tins on 'half price' etc. are too expensive for me - someone earlier asked about the Quality Street - QS tins (800g?) are £5 in M. Best is Quality Street Jar 700g - A v S. M itself did have some Heroes etc. boxes - which were rather more than the usual 400g/360g - on offer for v v good price per unit recently - size not stocked in A.

I suppose it depends what sort of chocolates you are after - I suspect the usual Christmas type ones - but the Cadbury Dairy Milk big bars 360g (not as huge as they used to be - 400g) are back up to £3.48 in A but still £2 in M. Works out - 10% cheaper is £1.80 - cheaper than Home Bargains' 'normal' price of £2. (Whole nut and F & Nut 360g also M £2 but only the plain CDM showing for me for A on MSM.)

Apart from this, I think it's mainly some of the 4pack multipacks that are Av M. I'll fetch my M list out and let you know what's on it re. chocolate in the next few mins.

wow what an answer:) i meant the chocolates in sada's 3 for £10. where on earth do you get your time from to do all this research:beer:

trigger was the lindt collection

Savvybuyer

Chocs vs M:
Nothing much on the Sada 3 for £10 (only 6 items showing for me now on MSM (logged out) on the 3 for £10).
M's seemed to have more on reduction the trigger items for A that don't appear on the A price comparison (therefore don't give return, except by 'piggybacking' onto the price you pay in A in the first place).
Probably not do an Av M myself (due to risk of items returning N/A for M on the comparison).
However, Thornton's Mint Collection 316g - £4 in A and £3 in M.
Lily O'Brien Chocolate Giftwrap Collection 190g - £5 A £4 M.

Away from the 3 for £10, there's not much to add to the prev. list of last week. I have:
After Eights Mints 300g A £1.50 M £1.50 (same price per unit as Sada Mint Thins 200g own brand is vs T, S or M).
CDM 360g A £3.48 M £2
Boost 4 A £1.75 M £1
Crunchie 4 A £1.88 M £1 (or in 2s vs T)
Flake 4 A £1 M £1 (or in 2s vs T)
Picnic 4 A £1.75 M £1
Lion Popchoc 140g pouch A £1 M £1
Kit Kat 2 Finger Milk Chocolate (8) A £1.59 M £1 (also vs T at same price as M)
Kit Kat 2 Finger Dark Chocolate (8) A £1.59 M £1 (also vs T)
Kit Kat 2 Finger Orange Chocolate (8) A £1.59 M £1 (also vs T)
Bahlsen Leibniz 125g (as before)
Galaxy Ripple (but it's 7 pack not 8 therefore perhaps more expensive) A £2 M £2

The large pouches of M&Ms and Maltesers, which are in M at £2 each, are not showing for A on MSM. Therefore, T v M: M & M Peanut Pouch 315g T £2.99 M £2 and Maltesers 230g T £2.75 M £2 (although best to wait until a competitor of A reduces its price on the smaller pouches to around £1 - currently A's price on those (vs no-one) (M&M peanut 185g and Maltesers 135g) is £2.09 (more expensive than even M's straight price on its much larger bags). I got mine - which was a Maltesers box 360g - a few months ago at A when T had it at lower than its standard offer price of £3.

Regarding the Kitkats, however on M's website, it appears to have Kit Kat Chunky 8s (8 for the price of 4 - 100% extra free) at a straight £1 which, if true, is excellent. N/A in A so buy at M. I also have the following on S vs A: Fudge 6 pack S £1.09 A 75p, and Freddo 6 pack (108g) on T v A: T £1.19 A 75p, or buy Fudge/Freddo straight in A on a shop not using the price guarantee or, for the more adventurous, on a comparison in A vs a competitor showing as N/A for the item on MSM. (Def not A v M on the Freddo 6 pack, as M's price has increased: now 75p A £1.20 M.)

I think that's about it on the chocs re. M. Oh, and the Fox's Velvety Caramel & Honeycomb 130g - A £1 M £1 (also A vs S at £1 till 1/1/13 - remember, as a general point not directed at S, offers can sometimes be withdrawn before stated expiry dates). There are also other Fox's Velvety biscuits in M for £1 but they are smaller sizes than the Caramel & Honeycomb 130g so details weren't specifically taken down (price per unit still q. expensive though for 130g). Finally, for those not yet sick of Vinnies: Vinnie Barrel 858g is £3 each in M (although whether it'll come back N/A for M on APG isn't known).
