    Sains. Basics 'high-priced' items. Avoid (unless you think it is worth paying more for 'Sains. quality').

    I did find a couple of items that turned out, according to msm, to be more expensive in Mr T than Mr S - so they're in quarantine at the moment awaiting consideration for possible 'TvsS' (needs checking whether they are within weight range etc.).

    Mr A has also (almost) followed Mr S, by increasing the price on its SP Madeira Cake (M was always significantly more expensive and still is - but M does have a two pack 'Savers' Madeira at £1).

    The S Basics Coleslaw though (which isn't on the list below) is still worth getting in my view - doesn't appear to have had a price increase and is (or was) better per unit than different size packs elsewhere. Many of the items below have very recently increased in price, although the odd few are here as they are more expensive in S than they were in the early part (March/April?) of last year.

    HTH. For example, don't put any SP equivalents of these vs Sains. Of course, Mr S itself does not need to match the prices of elsewhere on any of these. Avoid all the below in S unless you think it worth paying more.

    I'll try and add A, S and M prices later.

    Shamelessly pinched from 10 ways, hope it helps someone

    It's 5 for price of 1 (39p) on Maggi Chicken noodles
    10ways wrote:
    Noodles glitch, 39p a bag Maggi Chicken Flavoured noodles in Tosco* selling in sealed packs of 5 for 39p
    Normally with these types of glitches/mistakes it’s because the staff/person has scanned the wrong barcode, i.e. scanned the barcode for 1 pack when it’s a 5 pack BUT we’ve asked the OP and they confirm it’s a separate barcode and the barcode for the packs inside (i.e. the 39p ones) aren’t visible/scanable so it's definitely the 5 pack barcode scanning

    It's alright (or maybe it's not) - I just can't bear to look at my "Sains. 'expensive'" list again now, because of how much my jaw is starting to drop! I'll move on - and let you look at it at your leisure!:)

    Two for £3 at Mr T, normally £2.48 each (how much:eek:)
    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=tropicana%20trop50%201l
    so £1 each with a couple of these MOCs.

    I am still not convinced they are worth buying though ...
