    Xmas Saver!

    Unless you want to buy 5 pots for £5:rotfl: at Ocado, it's 600ml single cream Avs M £1.35 vs £1.35 that works out cheaper by volume - it's going onto the list! (If it gives the 10%, it's slightly cheaper by volume than Elmlea substitute.) Or 300ml Avs T 69p (M 70p) but slightly more costly by volume. Of course if you don't use that much cream, wouldn't be worthwhile getting 600ml:rotfl:.

    Not sure about Ocado's offer - may work out good if you have £40 spend to reach on online shop. Then, can you get the comparables to be £10 cheaper in T (and thus get an Ocado price match - but think you have to keep going on spending £40?:think: - not sure, I always forget these terms) - and can be half the weight in T or twice the weight, adjusted by weight. Check the T&Cs first of course. I doubt that 5 for £5 would be any good - and do O account for mbuy savings?!? Ah, it's mix and match - but looks like the cheese and the milk in that offer are rather small sizes for my liking? Making it £1 for 2 pints of milk (when using 5 for £5) doesn't seem to be sensible to me - even if the milk is 'organic' - 2 pints (non-organic) are 89p elsewhere. 2 pints at 89p is a rubbish price: 4 pints are for 'only' 11p more (on normal muggle pricing, 1p more for Mr A colleagues or for us via APG) and 6 pints technically a shade cheaper (non organic, Avs T or Avs S)

    There's this 'pay more for organic' thing. However my view these days - and it may be ill-informed - is that organic may be actually worse since it doesn't remove any 'nasties' from products - does growing 'organically' give risks of contamination in the natural environment? I may be completely mis-informed, as I've not looked into the issue in order to reach any informed decision up to now. This view just started in the past year and came from a food poisoning incident which started off, it was suggested, from organic produce (that big one across Europe we had some months ago). May I just have missed the overall thrust of how the incident actually happened and picked up on a little, irrelevant detail from the newscasting (in order to reinforce my view that paying more for something, that is said to be grown differently, is lacking in sense):think:?

    Are you referring to organic milk? It would still be allowed to be pasteurised I would have thought. If milk is organic doesn't it simply mean that the cow is fed on grass or grain free from pesticide? Normally dairy cows would be routinely fed antibiotics to combat mastitis brought about from unsanitary conditions and overworking the cow. Perhaps milk that is organic would ban this practice, I'm not sure :think: Filtered milk such as Cravendale is better than ordinary cows milk, which is allowed to contain a small percentage of blood and pus. Filtering will eliminate most of this.

    I prefer to drink soya milk and only drink cows milk when soya milk isn't available because I'm not comfortable with abusing cows in this way just so I can drink milk :(

    1 x Birds Eye Field Fresh Garden Peas & Carrots (690g) £2.00 £1.50
    1 x Birds Eye Field Fresh Garden Peas & Supersweet Swe... £2.00 £1.50
    2 x Birds Eye Field Fresh Select Mixed Vegetables (690... £4.00 £3.00





    Ah, so Av T or S, you would end up paying £1.70 for two bags of 690g frozen veg...:T
    on MyS I see:
    Field fresh country mix 690g
    Field fresh select mixed veg 690g
    Field fresh peas and sweetcorn 690g
    Field fresh peas and carrots 690g

    The sweetcorn 690g only valid against S/M/W so don't buy with an AvT shop

    I'm limited on buying these as I can't bear my veg to be mixed, i have to sort it out and separate.:D

    I like this glitch, you are tempting me as wanted to have a Fresh Fields glitch as I've not had a success on one yet (I mean not identified the possibility of one being available - I haven't of course tried one and had a failure:D) but, now the opportunity arises... :(I think I'll stick with the (albeit low-grade) SP Mixed Vegetables as cheaper:wall:. I know - some of my family don't like them, they are horrible - for some people - but as regards sorting out veg., I don't bother - I just chuck 'em in!:D:D:j Whatever works for me, whatever floats my boat so to speak.

    For info only, SP Mixed Veg (1kg) frozen now appear to be Avs S only. T a lot more expensive and M no longer stock an equivalent. However seems that T have increased the weight on there, as well as a price increase which still makes them 77p/1kg, so A's (or S's) 75p is cheaper. Thank goodness I had msm sort out their previous N/A vs Sainbobs:). I doubt it'll work on Tvs A to make T 75p for 1.3kg as outside the weight limit.
