    You had better edit and remove the cheeky grin after the 3 for 2 deal!

    Morrisons are selling them at £2 each. £3 x 2 = £6. But even this is more than they usually are when on offer (which is almost all the time on one of the lines) generally 50% off making them about £1.50.

    The Morrisons offer is good too, will save 44p against Tesco if buying 3 packs. If anyone else has seen these on offer elsewhere please also add, handy for people who don't have certain supermarkets on their doorstep

    I do not understand the point of these 'kits'. They do not contain anything useful. The only contents are cheaper bought separately.

    All it is is some breads and a small bowl of salsa. For £3.32 or £2? Crazy.

    Its good you have demonstrated you don't buy them by not knowing what is in them, but thanks for your comment anyway.

    I do know what is in them. Perhaps you need to read what has been written more carefully.

    I couldnt agree more, I bought the fajita kit just to see and it was a pack of hard tortillas, a pouch of watery tastless salsa and a pack of herbs that tasted like it had been brushed off of the floor.

    Its far nicer making it yourself

    Thanks for posting though OP, some good vouchers to be had.

    I did read it.

    You said "All it is is some breads and a small bowl of salsa."

    I know from buying them it isn't and some items aren't available seperately.

    no you don't - there's no 'bowl' of salsa - it's a bag. :p

    for the fajitas there are tortillas, a bag of salsa, a bag of sour cream sauce and the spices in which to fry the chicken, pepper and onion

    you do have to add chicken and pepper and onion

    and this thread is about the offer - not the contents of the kit!
