    As this will probably be too late for one of my lists - Weetabix Breakfast Biscuits (5 packs) - 2x £2.18 A vs Any 2 for £2.00 T. Until 24/9 msm says.

    (T £2.29 for one!:D)
  • 4.5 lbs of tomatoes turned into pasta sauce, another 5lbs in the oven roasting to also become pasta sauce :j

    The second batch has also got fresh chillies in

    Both batches have a bulb of garlic in :cool:

    Reckon with both batches, there's about 6 months worth of sauce there with the amount we use it, mostly for chilli and spag bol :D

    my o/h made some out of our toms from green house other day was delish we used it up thou lol made 8 jam jars full too with all sorts put in it to pep them up;)

    Just thinking out loud: so buy 4 x kormas gives you £5.44 PP v M, sides don't matter but are effectively almost free vs doing your shop in M, don't buy 4 pint milk.

    Or stick v A with the Chinese rolls still giving 50p, buy any 4 from korma, jalfrezi, sweet & sour, Chinese chicken gives PP £4.60 off £12, we can get 6 meals out of that (as my wife has decided 12 spring rolls with sweet chilli sauce makes a decent supper for her) so £7.40/6 = £1.23 a meal.

    Not as good as before but not too bad a result either.

    Can't you get the Creamfields 4pt milk vs M? Comes up £1.00 and compares to A (presumably due to historic reasons) but N/A vs everywhere else? Ignore me folks - this is a significant risk! (Unless anyone has a PP showing the result for Creamfields from today.) As for suggesting 3x 4pt T milk against M...:eek::eek:

    I've no idea why it's apportioning £1.64 to the Chicken Korma - I have it as £2.00! I've just added some Indian meals somewhat belatedly to the M list, but - caution! - these are what I found/what should be, the APGs and PPs may have different results.

    The others are coming up as £2.12 here (instead of £2) but the total works out the same - I suspect if you only buy the Korma it would return with M at £2 and not £1.64.

    Good to see what's comparing though - better than my list (at the moment):T.

    Savvy any idea why another poster buying korma today got £1.74 v M? Are prices regional?

    Do you have to roast them first ?

    I used fresh toms the other day but it didn't taste that good.

    They also bought another curry which came up as £2.26. In total this makes £4 which is right. No idea why the apg came up with different prices for the 2 curries though instead of £2 each. This kind of thing comes up now and again.

    It's only a game
