    I dont find them expensive, i find them pretty good value for money, you only pay £4ish for 4 decent bags of nice fruit.Works out at £1 per bag.
    Considering that you can pay anything from 30-70p for a single apple as a filler on comparison shops, i find these pretty decent value.

    £1 per bag normally my price limit. Although, depends what size they are. With fruit packs generally decreasing in size, not worth it in my view. M's bags (although smaller than they used to be) work out at 50p a bag.

    I would never pay 30-70p for a single apple. (Unless it's a loose bramley cooking one vs Waities:rotfl::D.) My single apples usually turn out at 20 or 25p, nowhere near as dear as that.

    Also:
    M Royal Gala (approx. 880g) £1
    M Savers Apples (seemed to be decent weight but store had removed all the scales) 89p (Russet apples)
    M Cox Apples bags (min. 5), mine turned out to be 6 and not quite as good as 800g+ but not the 550g/600g packs to be found in A.

    Last time T's Cox apples, as predicted, returned N/A vs M.

    The ones in M (since they change size, variety and often price every single week) are weighed - I'm very likely the only person to weigh packs of fruit!:D But you (or rather I) 'have to', since they seemingly try and catch you out. Well, I don't 'have to' - but if I don't, I pay way over the odds.

    Other packs do have weights on them - of course I don't weigh them!:rotfl: There were some orange packs (that weren't on msm so would have been no good as fillers) at 50p in A recently. Other than that though, I don't even go for the Satsumas 600g packs anymore - £1 for 600g is way too expensive, £1 for 800g is more reasonable, even when the 600g Satsumas packs compared vs M at £1. (Just trying to save everyone more money!!) Fruit is cheaper in Aldi when it's on Super6 - although, needing it again the week later, I was reluctant to pick up a 'Funsize' apples pack at 89p when it had been 49p the week before.

    It may seem I've won on price. However, then again, I don't tend to use loose apples as fillers but other items instead (and some of which may be more expensive than a single apple).

    The M conferences on 'bogof' are not absolutely good, as they are around 550g packs. So I'm treating them as the second bag, rather than being 'free', merely being the bag that fills up much of the fresh air in the first pack and 'giving' me about 200g more than the previous 800g packs of two years ago? So £1 for 200g more (that 200g costing me 10p, being the '10% cheaper than £1' that is no longer available compared to previously buying the 800g Conferences in A, now no longer available to go vs M and pack sizes smaller and non-comparable etc.).

    Alright..classic Savvybuyer ending, very complex and worked out!

    I think we should have a back up like heading to the money savers arms or something. Keep it moderated.

    Evening savvy:)

    I know you do ad points.......do they keep getting "stuck" for you.

    They are driving me bonkers:mad:

    They offer "up to" 250 points. But more like 125 average (or a bit less). I find I don't get time (wonder why?:think::rotfl:) to check on there until several days have passed. They usually refresh. Just log in once or twice a week. Sometimes they are zero, need to wait till they come back - of course not getting 250 a week (but is possible some weeks...I did that last week, but then had missed some time off from there). It matters not - the fewer they give me, the longer it takes for me to collect them, just means I then shop at S less frequently!!:rotfl::rotfl:
