1xMr Kipling Halloween Fiendish Fancies (8)£1.00 £1.00 (but these will be 25p, or lower, after the season is over - thus not savvy buying them now)
3xASDA Chosen by You Syrup Sponge Pudding (130g)Any 3 for £2.00 N/A:rotfl:(when they change the rules, Savvy changes his way of proceeding accordingly - Sains prices in their 3 for 2 are different individual, so in accordance with T&Cs this is an 'offer difficult for msm to compare' - and of course A's price is more than 10% cheaper!! So you don't lose out vs a more expensive 3 for 2 price in S, or vs the N/A that it will give! A bit of a delight that A's mbuy is the exact number of 3 so that buying that number misses the (more expensive) Sains 3 for 2 offer!! Although maybe:( - not as good as vs 50ps elsewhere from earlier? Now 75p each for buying 3?:think:) Actually - boohoo! - it wouldn't matter anyway as the S 3 for 2 works out exactly 10% more expensive than 75p x3, so it would be neutral on the APG even if it had compared. Makes no odds!

:T = best price vs Sains.
Some other items now going onto Avs T, but can't remember now what they were:o and near-misses: SP Carrots tin now A vs T only as S 20p, T 19p.
Bounty (4) and Kit Kat Chunky (4) are Avs T, just about, until 15/10 - but not wanting to tempt you with more of these sorts of items!:D:eek:
**Now remembered what I wanted to add. Careful on the SP Sage & Onion vs T. T has increased in price to 20p:eek:. Sains still 15p, so Avs S.**
That'll have to do I'm afraid - I know still incomplete with prices, but already too late to bed, I'm sure someone can bump this list, remove my verbose comments, but add in the missing prices for Sains. from msm. The ones above are my memory! (And 100% correct:D:D:rotfl::rotfl::D) Just to say those Dentastix are much cheaper in Sains. than A's price. But can't remember the precise price for those, so not going to guess!
See you later...!!

MSM does not see the 5 for £3 offer, buying 5, pay £3, compares at 5x68p V 5x30p giving an APG of £2.05, so 95p for 5. (19p each)
Buying 7, pay £4.36, compares at 7x68p V 7x30p giving an APG of ££2.87, so £1.49 for 7. (21p each).
I think 7 was the optimum number when some A's had reduced the price to 34p each but MSM was still comparing full prices?
I have just checked my last receipt and I bought 7, a discount of £1.06 came off making it 3.70 paid. I have had far too much wine to work this one out. but I only paid £3.70 for 7 yogurts but they still compared at 68p v 30p.0 -
