    So, after finding a small pile of Dr O half price vouchers I noticed they were £3:eek: in S and £1.50 in A
    Please can anyone confirm it matches and/or have any good brand match tips / ideas to get this up to £20. I did see a new covent garden soup (skinny variety) with £1.50 shopitize at £2 in S and £1 in A which could be handy.

    Thanks, I think I have 8 vouchers so was thinking about 2 lots of 4 so I'll just need to come up with some ideas to get from £12 to £20. I did think about chucking a warburtons or two in as well.

    When I printed the coupons they were very small so didn't scan at the SS checkout. SA said they didn't accept internet coupons even though it's from their own magazine! She said it was at the manager's 'discrepancy'!

    Lots of clips of her on youtube etc.

    Muller - not gone as hoped but 7 showing at 50p and 3 at 68p, the three are the same kind, banana flakes, it was showing part of after being 'out'last night but others were not showing last night then were this morning so not sure what its playing at.

    For anyone interested the sums taken off for offer were 1.44 and 33p, they compared against sbobs 7 at 50p v 30p and 3 at 68p v 30p. All flavours I wanted so thought I would do a bit of experiment to see how reliable msl is when something not showing in offer.

    Just to let you know I have just done another M&S shop (it is still working) - bought 9 ready meals (for my grandma as she is alone bless her) for £11.54 :beer::j

    the pre-discount amount was £30.81 - I am sure you could save more £ by buying all the more expensive meals however my grandma is very 'old school' therefore she has all the retro type meals.

    She will be made up when I take her them later - she knows I didnt pay full price for them, but she always thinks she is priced out by M&S so is sure to enjoy them that little bit more.

    Thanks again to the Elite's!!
