    Afternoon All,

    Like others we very much enjoyed a breakfast at chiquito which the little one loved and they even said children get a free orange or apple juice :) And for £1.95 you get unlimited tea/coffee. Many thanks to lawrie28 and OP that voiced about this:T

    Then we went for a little walk around Mr T since this is in the same area and was lucky to find some magnum chocolates :)
    we enjoyed the breakfast too :) had unlimited hot chocolates for £1.95 each & our waitress told us that loads of people had been in with the vouchers & asked for tap water so they didn't have to pay a penny although i don't think i'd ever be that cheeky lol i bet they didn't even leave their waitress a tip!!
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    Hi SD, nice to see you posting, how is my favourite beast ?

    1x PEPSI MAX CHERRY 2L £1.98 £1.00

    1x BIRDS EYE 10 POTATO WAFFLES 567G £1.48 £1.00

    1x B/E RICE FUSIONS MEDITRN VEG RICE 380G £1.75 £1.00

    2x FRIJJ CHOC FUDGE BROWNIE MILKSHAKE 471ML £1.30 £0.90

    2x FRIJJ FRESH STRAWBERRY 471ML £1.30 £0.90

    2x FRIJJ LTD COOKIE DOUGH 471 ML £1.30 £0.90

    1x CARLING 20X440ML £13.00 £14.00

    1x DETTOL WITH E45 HANDWASH HONEY 250ML £2.50 £1.24

    3x T. FIN* BRITISH BEEF STEAK BURGERS 454G £12.00 £6.00

    1x T.EVERYDAY VALUE HAM 364G £1.50 £1.65

    1x COCA COLA ZERO 1.5L £1.75 £0.84

    Morrisons was £10.43 less.

    So they are comparing to a Morries product of 400g that gives you around the same value (slightly more expensive - £1.5015). Only just within the 10% weight range, for T, and they have enforced the technical rules on you here. T don't adjust for weight but just compare straight prices.

    I'm going (possibly) for the SP Wafer Thin Ham 400g on Avs Sainsbobs. Not doing Sainsbobs shop today - and prices might change by the time I do. But, on what they are at the moment, I haven't been discouraged by A's price increase from £1.50 to £1.65. Still £1.50 for S, and doesn't lose out on weight Avs S, unlike it does/could on Avs T.

    I put Ullswater in airbandb and some places came up. I don't know if they are the right part of town, but worth a look.

    Thank you Savvy - which pther 20 pack Walkers are not showing on here please (assuming you got 2 for £5 in A)?

    Many thanks

    Anon

    The Walkers 20 pack of just the Cheese & Onion.

    (Although if you can mix and match with the McCoys (15 Variety) offer - the two are in a different 2 for £5 instore - but maybe your SELs are confusing? - that could work out much much better.)

    When I went to my store, I thought they'd ran out of the Cheese & Onion trigger (you wouldn't use that with a McCoys - it would be C&O and either Classic Variety OR Meaty Variety 20 Walkers). I started putting items back onto the shelves... and then I saw the 20 Cheese & Onion one, on the gondola. (I don't normally look at those, unless I'm looking for items to buy at the rival store:D.)

    So, it may not be in the aisles (or it may be). The trigger route, which is simpler, works - but ends up costing some money. Better if McCoys 15 & Walkers Classic/Meaty suggests it is in the same 2 for £5 instore - then pay £4.20+£4.19, and put back to £3 (including £2 GC amount) hopefully. McCoys show OOS for M on msm but have price of £2 - hopefully they will compare on APG to that - although (:eek:) perhaps they will come back with M at £4 odd price?:mad::mad::( Either way it works out better (if everything works instore).

    Now - less of that. My Golden Wonder, vs T. Is it the Variety pack or the 6 Salt & Vinegar one?;):)
