    Homework.

    It is immoral to take the longest dated products from the chiller. You should always take the ones that will expire earliest as it minimises waste.

    Discuss.

    Not sure if you are serious.

    If you want to save the environment by using your car as little as possible it makes sense to shop only once a week or less frequently, so buying longer lasting produce means you have fresh stock for longer.

    If your paying the same, why shouldn't you have the longest dated = fresher stock?

    Also MSE :money: to save petrol.

    If everyone always bought the longest date stuff it would encourage supermarkets to put less stock of each item out and then stock more of a range.

    No contest :) Would rather pay 35p more for the pure squeezed juice rather than a "Juice Drink" - have you tried the Trop 50? Had some when T's had the mocs - very different animals, but very clever marketing ......

    I bought some yesterday to try. Totally agree with you wasn't keen on it. Glad I only bought 1.
  • This one got me an APG of £8.38 but unfortunately the Dove compared in As favour. This variety of Dove was not showing as part of the deal on MSM when I bought it :(

    I totally agree with this, I only go shopping once a week, I always check dates on anything that I buy and get everything with the longest dates, yogurts, allways go to the back of the shelf the same with milk.

    comparable is what I meant so if 1 of your 10 in Mr T did't compare what that mess up PP or does everything compare in Mr T

    Thanks

    You're getting mixed up with qualifying and comparable. You need 10 qualifying items. If something is n/a it's because there's not a comparable item in the other store. So even though it doesn't compare, it still qualifies as one of your 10 items. HTH
