£1.16 apg from my £6 curry meal deal. perhaps ill get the deal next time + an extra bhuna.
Yeah you'll probably still do okay as these meal deals compare from full prices. Hopefully the Spam for M will be picked up and won't return vs M at full price:).
Right, there is a trigger here, as they bought on 3 for £10. Shop 9.30 this morning.
Easter eggs are:
Two that are each styled "Cadbury" on the receipt - both begin with 762221. One ends 004490 (and missing digit), the other 004748 (missing digit at end).
The third egg - begins 761303. And ends 448020:rotfl: (plus missing digit). I've not missed anything out, apart from the digit that isn't on the receipt, but I prefer to 'disguise' the B/Cs a bit rather than give them in full.
So - what product is the trigger?;) TIA!

They work though, don't they? These expensive 'any 3 for £5' cereal 'offers':eek: that still work out at over 30p/100g, compared to my guide of 20p/100g. The Coco Pops for example sometimes go down to £1.34 elsewhere - and yet the '3 for...' sees them buying three packs of cereal and, in total, paying around 90p more expensive than they would pay if they bought at straight offer price when they went on offer elsewhere. Not too mention paying way more, as got an extra two packs and more money to profit on that, when just one, at a half price offer, some other time would have done. Not just that, but these deals are often funded by the manufacturers - it helps increase the manufacturer's market share and shift the number of units from out of their factories. So much so that, with an 'offer' like this one, selling three times what you would have bought if it were a 'half price', the manufacturers often give packs to the stores. The supermarkets can negotiate, with a mbuy that helps increase sales, special deals with the manufacturers under which the manufacturers give some packs to the store for nowt. So it actually may have cost Mr A nothing,and that customer has paid them five quid, for cereal that is way expensive on unit price and far more than the best offers that come on elsewhere.
[Edit: Actually, no, £1.66 for 750g is 22.1p/100g, so it's not as bad as it could be. I think that 3 for £9:offer: is the one that is even worse on the unit price score. Yet, paying that by having to buy three! Still wait for best price on [I]single[/I] pack purchase elsewhere. Or better of course the glitches. Next on my 'cereal line' btw: three packs of those Special Ks in a row:rotfl::D]0 -

Can't see the Raisin Nutri-Grain signed in on MSM for Asda but can for Sainsbury's, does that mean it should be OK. I know there are no guarantees:)
I hope this link takes you to them http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=nutri0 -

I once grabbed a packet of breaded chicken goujons from T's on my way to a picnic. I presumed they were cooked as they were in a display next to the pork pies, sausage rolls etc. The hubby nearly spewed on the spot when he bit into it to discover it was raw :eek::rotfl:
:eek: I bet it put him off goujons for life:rotfl:0 -
Disappointed with Sun+ as have been waiting 6 weeks for £20 Superdrug. After questioning on live Chat, they have sent £20 T vouchers for me and £20 M vouchers for Mrs Anon, so I will forgive them
.
Just waiting for the £5 vouchers now ... Oh and the £10 T voucher for returning to T. This is a very good return on £1s.

I'm wondering if its too early for a glass of wine?
I have a HH voucher for £5 off £40 and if T now have 25% off as wonderfully predicted by Claire earlier it seems rude not to drink a few glasses of what we have in preparation of getting some more on offer over the weekend.frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0
