Apologies for being a pain

2 quick questions.
Has anyone bought Anchor cheese this week in Tosco and of so how much - last week it was £3 on offer.
Did it compare on the T versus A shop?
2nd question has anyone bought Weight watchers cereals in Sada this week and had a good APG result in a Sada v tosco shop
- using the £1 print off mocs
(mys still says they are on offer for £1.50 but I don't quite trust it as it says anchor cheese does not exist!)
I think that is 3 questions actually
Yes I am doing 2 shopping lists simultaneously - and trying to incorporate my mailing tosco MOcs and points :T
1) did not buy but not on offer anymore - £4.50/£4.75
2) N/A
3) bought both WW with MOCs yesterday (6pm), compared fine, also biscuits 3 for £2 with choc panthers OK0 -

Tailored for my specific circumstances (CC coupons etc.), so don't copy in full. Should have been £1.07, as Broccoli 335g 49p in M. However, Sweet Potatoes £1.28/kg in M compared to T £1.24/kg:(:(. T thwarted me by putting the price down on the Sweet Potatoes:mad::mad: - showing £2.49/kg online - SEL said £1.24/kg and I did check before being committed to purchase whether they went through at £2.49/kg and sadly not. They had me buying 581g:eek: instead of about 400g (needed £1 spend for 25 points i.e. £1 boost, so trying to break even on that) and then, because loose Sweet Potatoes actually very slightly more expensive in M, I bought a Baking Potato (couldn't find that in my M store so thought M were N/A) to try to offset a slight loss (or hope, by buying fewer gs. of Sweet Potatoes, that it would round down to same price vs M on the amount bought).
Original shop plan would have been around 400g Sweet at £2.49/kg (cost about £1) then to compare vs M at £1.28/kg (but I see that wouldn't have been refunded on the PP now) but would have needed an extra item e.g. a 10p Haribo, so split of Sweet and Baking Potatoes was intended to save that 10p for an approximate same amount of spend (i.e. total of about £1 on potatoes).
:eek::eek: Onions should have been Red onions (T 90p/kg, M 89p/kg), and that was in fact what was bought but, now turns out, despite my best attempts with the SA, they still put them through as Brown. Loose small piece of a Parsnip:rotfl: is the same price in M (£1.49/kg). The Ginger is £3.86:eek:/kg T and £2.69/kg M, but looks like T's rounding did nowt and flipped to vs A anyway:(:(:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::rotfl:.
Not bothering with the additional claimed owing, as still did 'alright' anyway. Right, next...:)0 -
