Evening everyone i think this thread is a great place, even though i dont post often i love reading about other peoples real live situations and it helps me to get through my problems in rl. Did a pepsi shop today and bought a cow and gate stage 1 which was 8.49 in A and compared at 7.99 in m:j:j [1] (i thought they werent supposed to compare)

also bought the twister lollies, [2] if i were to buy two packs which are on offer st 2 for 3 in A will they still compare st £1 morrison TIA

[1] I suspect you were going by msm's N/As? I think I had one of these on a womble. Sadly I had it where they'd used the 10% discount card as one of the colleagues and it lost out:(. Glad you had a nice surprise:T:T.

[2] Yes. I do not expect it would go other than £1.50x2 vs £1.00x2 though, and thus end up with 90p per pack. But, before you do, consider the alternative options - it still appears, as of the moment, that the Del Monte 100% Orange lollies are N/A for A on msm. Usually an infernal error that caught me out on at least one occasion (bought them and nothing else in the offer and it failed to appear:(). These are £1.24 for M (but I wouldn't rely on APG not returning £2.49:().

But... if a no-show (as expected - and this did work for me a couple of weeks ago when it was the same position on msm as it is now)... it would mean, if bought with one pack of Mini Twisters, 2 for £3 then £2.00 vs £1.00 on the Mini Twisters. Net £1.90 for both. Makes it 95p per pack. The Mini Twister pack actually costs 5p more, this way, but you do 'save' on the Orange Lollies compared to if you'd had them at 10% lower than £1.24.

But... A's own brand Orange Lollies pack - a pack of 6:j not 3 as in the Del Monte - and not much difference in weight per lolly - are £1 anyway in A. They are more or less twice as much product in the pack than the Del Monte ones, and the CBY Orange Lollies should themselves compare vs £1 at M only (an exclusive Avs M comp. item for an attempt at any APG) and if they do, as expected to be quite likely, makes them 90p net. And they qualify as an extra item on the shopping towards the 8 required (whereas the Del Monte as a no-show would not). The Del Monte ones, as "real" juice, do taste slightly a bit more orangey but, to be fair, the A CBY ones do just the job for me and are quite nice. Come on..whose going to notice a little bit of juice, and you end up with about twice as much?

Here are the ones:

Of course they show N/A for M, but you'd never know!:D:rotfl::rotfl: Morrisons Orange Juice Lollies 6 pack do not show on msm.co.uk - but I know better!:D In fact, I know far better!:D:D:D:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Returning to your original question, and ignore my unintended attempt to flog the Orange Lollies (of any kind:D) to you, yes the Mini Twisters go vs £1 at M, but you don't make any saving on the net 10% cheaper than £1 price by using the mbuy and getting two packs of them. (For various reasons, i.e. if you have another APG to use, and helps you to get to the value of that to spend, would be better doing two shops if doing one further one vs M anyway as would get £2 for the Wall's on each of them and more APG in total, over the two shops, back. But if struggling to reach any spend, might be better to get 2 packs at £3 anyway, even if then don't have £1.10 extra APG on any second shop.)

Such a beautiful area. You are so lucky. Sometimes when I go out to the beach in the mornings I feel truly blessed. This morning

Do an apg shop. Then don't check it for a week or 2. Whatever the longest time is. Then you have a month from then. Then just before it runs out do a cc for a weeks time. Or whatever the longest time is. alls well you'll get 2 months

Thanks zippy. Great info. I'll do a c&c for Wed for the online one and check it while I'm away. N x

:rotfl: I was going to give the 14 pack Bird's Eye veg.fingers at A 'a whirl' and see if they glitched vs the £1 on the 10 pack in Morries. 14 pack is in 2 for £3 frozen, so maybe a veg fingers and a Mini Twisters pack? However, I decided against this, as 14 pack in A, even as part of 2 for £3, is a bit more expensive per 100g than the straight £1 10-pack in M, so if it didn't work, I'd have been better off getting the £1 pack in M at, er, straight £1. No longer stocked by A, boo-hoo:(. Also I have no freezer space left for any Bird's Eye fingers or anything like that:eek: (not the 14 pack ones anyway), so that ended that idea!

But mentioning it now in case it helps someone!:)

My expectation is 14 pack Veg Fingers £2.00 (or £1.50 if bought on A mbuy with a non-trigger) return vs N/A at M. But - who knows? Especially with the different sizes that appear to have been mixed up in the last price collection for A! And also now that we know about two of them (my thought about the 14pack Veg Fingers was before we were aware (correction: before I was aware) of the Quaker Oats as well).

Glad you are fine me busy ..nah that was my quiet week:rotfl: actually I'm freaking knackered :rotfl:


I will be missing at the end of the month for a week or two as well as I will be having my niece and nephew again one of them is only 18 months and I forgot how hard that age is but it is all for good reasons my sister has just finished her testing and has been approved for a cochlear implant and has been given a date for four weeks time she has been profoundly deaf since she was 6months old and is in her 30s now so if it all goes to plan it will be life changing for her

I am pleased that your sister has decided to have the implant. It will certainly be life changing and I think that she'll be reaching for the volume control at times.

When DS was younger, we had to make the decision to have the implant. After the risks were explained, we decided against it. Although he is deaf in one ear, he has hearing (with the help of a hearing aid) in the other. We were advised that there would be a risk that he could lose all hearing.

His friend in Scotland had the implant a couple of years ago, she was profoundly deaf. She has just come on in leaps and bounds. Although she said that she used to turn the volume down all of the time as she just wasn't used to all of the noise. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Please let us know how she gets on.
