    8:rotfl: x ASDA Smartprice Chicken Flavour Instant Noodles (6...£1.60£1.60
    4 x ASDA Smartprice Instant Noodles Curry (65g)£0.80£0.80

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Same result vs M.

    Although - 2 x Maryland Snapjacks Vanilla Shorties (200g)£1.00N/A (across the board, vs all four), should you feel the burning desire to buy one.

    These are now vs M (T is higher priced than M)
    2 x ASDA Smartprice Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce (395g)£0.30£0.32

    And this the price comp. vs T
    3 x ASDA Chosen by You Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (41...£0.96£1.77:eek:
    Unless you're in Northern Ireland (if you are, should possibly be buy in T - vs A), they are vs M if anyone's possessed enough to have to buy them.

    I'm in the middle of doing my dads "road to retirement" moneysaving guide but now I'm starting to run out of ideas- so anyone got anything that I might not have thought of please?

    I'd list what I've already got but there are 13 pages of A5 paper....

    Thanks :D

    I immediately saw that "mistake" was spelled incorrectly. Then I went through all the numbers twice to see if there was also any mistake there:rotfl:.

    Interesting (just to me obviously, boring to everyone else) - people (generally) don't see immediately obvious mistakes in lines of text. "Immediately obvious", that is, to me, where any minor inaccuracy or an erroneous repeated word stands out obvious as if printed in red, twice the size of all the rest of the text, with bells ringing loudly next to it and a huge hand pointing incessantly at it. I would make an excellent proof-reader.

    It's taken me ages to spot it.

    You'd never have thought in a million years that proof reading is a big part of my job :o:o

    Yes the reason for this is that the brain


    only needs the first and last letter


    to be in the correct place as the


    brain reads the word


    not the letters
