    Good evening - didn't want to let the sunshine pass:D so I've been off for a while. This morning, on the way from the bank, I stopped off at a T Express that was on the route back. Found a penny under the car seat - so thought I'd have a look for a box of Thorntons. The only purchases I'll now do from T are if they scan at a penny. No luck - no hearts or anything on them and it's a very small T Express anyway. But I walked past the items I'd bought on Avs T the other day, except for the New Potatoes/Herbs of course (they didn't have those!):rotfl::rotfl:and saw some 200g Cadbury's Jelly Popping Creations on "half price" at £1.67. Who would ever get them for that much? I thought:).

    While you've all been getting choc shops on APG, I like to be different once again:rotfl:, so here's my M shopping. Predictably Starting Right not comparing vs M's £1.00 (started wrong but will be put right:rotfl:) and they've not identified the Deep Filled Steak Pie as being within the 10% weight range. The one I got on my previous shop was meant to last the whole year:D - but the rest of my family decided to have it that night. So, had to get another one:(, to replace the previous one and family told this time cannot get any more as M's offer due up soon.

    Why £3.24?

    1 x McDougalls Upper Crust Deep Filled Steak Pie (600g...£2.50N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only)£9.68£7.16

    You can see I bought that Steak Pie despite knowing it would return N/A. Not to worry I thought as they guarantee to be 10% cheaper and they will put it right, through HQ in the end, and I keep seeing "McDougalls Upper Crust Deep Filled Steak Pie" written on the product in M, with a 650g weight written in the bottom right - clearly within the 10% weight! So they'll be no argument that it shouldn't compare!:)

    I'm now updating and putting the details onto the S/T vs A post. Then I'll (attempt to) go for Avs T and Avs S posts.:)
