Yes they are. When they have them in bloomin' stock in A that is:(:(:mad:. However - I saw only the Crumpets and the Muffins showing for T on msm 13/5 evening. Doesn't look like the waffles are on there anymore? If so it may be the waffles won't appear on APG:( or may cause the comp. to pick up full price for T:( on other KM bought with them. Or maybe the Waffles will be treated as T 2 for £1.20 out of stock and still compare and still pick up T's mbuy (in conjunction with different KM items) for up to the 7 days.0 -
Oh yeah - no Dove Pure Compressed on comp.

No, the booze they bought turned out to be more expensive elsewhere, along with the Whiskas:rotfl:. Strangely those two items were N/A for Waities, so that the comparison had T and S way more expensive (over £10 more expensive) on the overall shop (above is just some extracts) and M nearly £10 more expensive:rotfl: and then W cheaper!:rotfl::rotfl: Just because very little compared vs W - but did include the OEP (also £2 vs £2 W).
The Robinsons 275ml is "interesting" (and M price not showing on msm). Reminds me the Blackcurrant version of Savers Squash has gone down to 30p (other varieties at 33p in M) - only version that was sold out when I arrived - these were 28p some time ago, so it's technically a price increase but may 'save' a few pence on the more expensive recent pricing. Either that or the store hadn't updated its SELs:( - it was the one with £2 on the Linda McCartneys as well.
But why would you need Savers squash when already had different Robinsons on previous glitch? That 275ml one is 'tiny', yet even at M price costs more than 80% of the 'offer' price on 750ml versions when they go down to 74p low. Msm saying Robinsons Fruit Shoot Blackcurrant 275ml vs T in 2s (2 for 50p), FWI not W!:rotfl: Oh, sorry I'm comparing Fruit Shoot to Robinsons squash - maybe a glitchy Savvy here:rotfl:. And not on current pricing either:wall::rotfl:.
So there we have it (from that shop) - T, S and M way more expensive. And Waities cheaper than A!:rotfl: All that money wasted on nappies that don't compare eh?:rotfl::rotfl:
Alright, that's enough for now - see you later; byeee!!:D:wave::wave:0 -

I am going to be a bit more adventurous I think. Going to do the chips like you do them tonight. X
You're welcome Claire. I hope your chips were OK.
OOPS - what I forgot to say is that we like our chips EXTRA thick and virtually always make them with potato skins on. This affects the timing and is why I cook them at 160C to start. A mediumish sized potato will cut into just 6 chips/ big wedges.
Thick chips means less fat soaked up and all the goodness of a potato is just under the skin. They end up a cross between a baked potato and a chip. We think they're yummy. (Hate Maris Piper potato chips although they are the ones always recommend - we find they are watery & tasteless.)
Bexter? Hope you enjoy the Duronic Air Fryer. It's got to be one of my 2 favourite kitchen buys - the other is my Breville One cup.0 -

You and me again eh?:D:(:rotfl: Spotted any potatoes on good offer anywhere?0 -
:hello: I did leave but I've come back - I'm thinking this combo. of possible fillers vs T as APG doesn't compare vs the 3 for 2:
1xASDA Smartprice Chocolate Swiss Roll25p
1xASDA Chosen by You Teatime Treat Cherry Bakewell Tarts (6)Any 2 for £1.50
1xASDA Chosen by You Angel CakeAny 2 for £1.50
Total A price £1.75 Total T price £2.00:rotfl:
Could go with KM Crumpets and KM Muffins, the Dove combo. (counts as 1 item), a Banana and a SP tin or something.
Now why didn't I discover this before I did my shop earlier?:think:*
Typical - now wanting to kill an APG on 2 for £1.50 cakes mix and match (as fairly reasonable price per cake), then found T on 3 for 2 and discovered there is a way to use them as fillers on vs T, even though T would have been somewhat more expensive, so may as well have counted as 3 separate items, on vs T, then needing to buy less else on that shop. Rather than buying an 8-item shop vs T and then buying further items (namely the 2 cakes on 2 for £1.50) separately. Buying further items is buying too much, is spending more money.
T's 3 for 2 in T could be cheaper outright, depending on what items in it you buy, and, as the items are own-brand, they wouldn't compare from Svs T.
Posting this now in case it helps someone.:)
[Edit:
* :idea: Because they had only just gone on 3 for 2 in T and therefore would have been likely to have picked up old T pricing:( had I put them on my shop. May still need to wait a bit before trying any of the above - T's offer to be on till 2/6, so should be plenty of time, if need be for other future vs T shops, assuming A keep 2 for £1.50 on.]0 -
Avoid this on Avs T - it's comparing incorrectly vs T's Luxury Chocolate Roulade:
