Unfortunately the only way is to do the rounds frequently so you know what things cost, and pounce when you see it low. It costs you in time, though, so how much is your time worth?
The price I paid was the same as it had been for a while.
Got the 15% off another £5 off (£50 spend)for feedback on line with previous receipt and cash back for reserve and collect.
Could not have got it cheaper anywhere else.
almost every retailer does it.
main culprit is curry's. their prices go up and down all the time depending on what deals or sales promotions they have.
its about time something was done about it. what i really dont know.
