I had it for tea and wasnt that impressed to be honest. Won't be getting any more.

We've just bought two of them to try today. They don't look a patch on the Sainsburys ones, but I'll keep an open mind until we try them.

If you haven't tried Sainsbury's own Chinese tho I would definitely recommend them.

My kids had the sweet and sour chicken with rice and liked it. I had the thai green and did not like, but i might try the chicken curry.
What did you have COT?

I had the sweet/sour chicken and loved it with the egg fried rice, hubby liked his chicken curry as well, but if you're listening Ken, it wasn't a patch on the one that I make him:T

Where did you get the Kitchen, did you get a good deal?;)

I'm looking at replacing ours!:D

I got a great deal from B&Q but I'm not sure you could get the same deal anymore

First we went to Homebase on a 60% off weekend. They wanted £4k for the design we wanted :eek::eek::eek: They printed off a very pretty artist impression of what the kitchen would look like ....... which we took into B&Q where they sold us pretty much the same kitchen for just £1300

But you have to bear in mind we purchased on a weekend that B&Q had 15% off all prices (including sale) and the kitchens were on sale at 25% off to begin with (so we got 15% off 75% of the original price which meant we actually saved 36%)

It came to just £1300 in the end so even without the reductions B&Q were much, much cheaper than Homebase

I paid using 40x£25 giftcards bought from Mr T. (that got me £30 of clubcard points too:money:)

The SA wasn't very impressed, but at least they all scanned and I did pay some of it in cash :rotfl:

Chicken chow mein
Duck with pancakes
Vegetable spring rolls
Egg fried rice.

Not the full selection in my local tho.
Would rather pay more and get it from the chinese

:rotfl::rotfl: that'll wake her up

Not many of us on here - just noticed I'd got two in a row (nearly three!:rotfl:)
Not having trouble sleeping but just popped back as I've realised I've got things to be doing during 'proper morning' today. Just been downstairs and got the freesheet newspaper - and a copy of the A Price News, which may help with my T vs A shopping!:rotfl: Not much in there though - all the items far too much than I'd PP back to - more expensive than 10% cheaper than a competitor's offer from previous week or on a different pack size/variety etc. - so represents price increases for me. 400g Milk Tray box - £3 each anyone???

Also - aau1 - congratulations for all the hard work both in passing your exams and on here.:):cool:

As I'll never get to the Coke, I may as well do it now:

M have the following Coca Colas (no particular order) :

8 x330ml:
Regular
Diet
Cherry
Diet Cherry
Zero
Diet Citrus Zest
Diet Caffeine Free
£3.98 BOGOF Until 10/2. Bear in mind APG does not appear to recognise BOGOFs - safer if two different ones are bought but even that may, for example, give N/A on one of them and compare at £3.98 on the other.
APG has been confirmed as recognising BOGOF when 2x Diet Caffeine Free is bought, but I have no idea whether this is best price per 100g to compare to and/or whether other Cokes (on multibuy in A and bettering a price offer in M) work out better if there is a m'buy special on the APG Sada side or if so which ones.

2L bottle:
Regular
Zero
Cherry
Diet Cherry
Diet Citrus Zest
Sugar Free
Diet Caffeine Free
£1.98 each, any 2 for £2.50

1.5L bottle:

500ml bottle:

24 x 330ml Regular £9.49

12 x 330ml:

4 pack (four 500ml bottles)
Regular
Diet

£3.98 each

4 x 2L bottles

Hope this helps someone. If anyone who's seen my post saying I would post mid-morning asks later, when I'm not on here, where the details are, please point them back to overnight. Thanks and goodnight goodnight from me now, for definite.:rotfl::rotfl::D

We tried it last year and were under awe'd so gave it a miss this time, now the M&S deal although more expensive is much nicer but nearly the same price as the local takeaway.
