    The Mushrooms didn't work yesterday. It's the Korma & Jalfrezi which compare £3 to £1.50 + I think the only side that gives a PP is the 6 mini spring rolls £1.50 to £1.
    If you buy a total of 6 mains + 6 sides including 2 spring rolls you pay £18 and get £10 PP - not forgetting your fillers!

    Hi
    Think it would be better to buy 2 big nite deals of 2 mains and 2 sides as pp capped.

    4 mains Korma or Jalfrezi
    4 spring rolls
    total 12.00

    then get back 2 x 3.00 for curries = 6.00
    and 4 x 50p for spring rolls = 2.00

    so 8.00 back on 12.00 spend
    plus fillers

    Hope I have this right.

    Max. 10 per shop.

    All - don't forget to pick up a pack of Walker's Baked Stars Mild Sweet Chilli as part of your JC vs M shop if your SEL says £1. Just shot up it appears from £1.00 to £1.70 in A. Hopefully it will compare vs M's £1.00.

    Perhaps though we should have one person try (which ain't gonna be me this time:rotfl:) and confirm whether or not these specific Stars are comparing vs M before we have loads of people buying - or check your wombles to tell us(TIA).

    Thanks everyone for trying, and posting your M comp results. This is really useful - even though I won't be able to reflect for some time on my M list what's comparing correctly.

    I did a shop last night for 5 flavours

    Cheddar & Sour Cream (150g) is also comparing at £1 on APG :money:

    But when I got home to take photos and submit my claim over wi-fi the stinking piggy said I hadn't earned any cashback :mad:

    I've put in an email to the support team about it because it was defintely showing when I added them to my list last night and checked them off whilst in Sada

    As you see in my post, it seemed to be on a wobble last night (though disappears once claimed). I am reliably informed that it worked on a new account this morning, so the offer is still on.
