    Found this womble this morning dated yesterday.


    Frozen 2 for £3 showing on receipt.

    Think its the cornetto and one other described as cones.bar code 501023801254l Don't know if this is the smartie one?

    Wall's Cornettos 99p in T/S a few weeks ago.
    Price of 660g bolognese too much, given that 454?/500g?:o (going from memory) Loyd Grossman sauces are [Strike]£1[/Strike] no, 99p in M. (My memory was quicker, but slightly out.)

    Sorry, can't immediately help on the Smarties Cones as I think I no longer have my own receipts where I've used this item. I'll go and see if I have this saved somewhere. [No longer need to do so, thanks scottishshortie for confirming they are the Smarties cones below - and thanks savvy sal for telling us the Smarties were working at least up to yesterday.]

    Confirmation from above that bacon not glitching yesterday.

    This one stands out for me. Although some may disagree due to Dr Oetkers recently. (Indeed, that's the main reason I didn't take the details down of the Goodfella's last Wednesday.) No need to buy two - they're 'half price' at Ms.

    Cornettos 6 for £1 in Ms for the past few weeks (I bought earlier this week so not sure if the offer is still on?).
