    I had my friends 2 kids over for the afternoon yesterday, so we had a little baking session.

    :rotfl: Good morning and, now well afternoon!! This from 5.12 this morning - after I went to bed just before 5:rotfl::rotfl:.



    Hi there - thank you!:)
    It's not Morries that is price-collecting: it's the agencies for A (and T).
    That adjudication is from ages and ages ago, when M did not have online grocery.
    The point about Morries caring whether the APG is accurate is because Morries were objecting to advertising by A, saying it was inaccurate. Obviously it affects M adversely if competitors make claims in their advertising that encourage people to shop at the competitors on that basis rather than shopping at M.

    So please tell me if I've got this correct: From this link posted by Savvy yesterday http://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjudications/2011/2/ASDA-Stores-Ltd/TF_ADJ_49664.aspx I conclude that MSM employ price collectors to scan Morries prices. Also Asda pay a separate group of independent price collectors to scan Morries prices.

    This still doesn't explain why Asda are not happy to use data collected by MSM. It also doesn't explain why Morries £1 4pt milk is never ever picked up by APG, surely it cannot get missed on each and every collection :huh:

    I need answers to these questions please and thank you :D

    We received our Nutri bullet today - must say we're both impressed. :T:TThis is something that will live on the counter-top and be used at least 2-3 times a day.

    Haven't gone out and bought anything yet for it. I just used 1/2 a large bag of salad, 1/2 one of those mixed fresh fruit cartons + a Clementine in the first trial (all whoopsied day before yesterday) to make a large container (probably about 1 and 1/4 pints). The second one I used 1/2 an again whoopsied mix of cabbage, peas, basil etc. + the other half of the fresh fruit + 1/2 an avocado. All made up with just water.

    I'm not too fond of green uncooked veggies (salad ONLY when I feel like it - which isn't often!) but TBH I couldn't really tell there was SO much green veggies in each of them. If I didn't know that 1/2 the container was veggies I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell, it tasted more like fruit, neither would hubby and he has an extremely good palate. (If we have a meal out he can 9+ times out of 10 recreate it better than original.)

    Both were delicious and considering that nothing was bought in especially to make drinks - I'm well impressed! I can see our recycling bins being empty from now on & us always getting in at least our 5 a day EVERY day.

    The avocado stunned both of us - half an avocado made the drink SO thick that we had to add more water. We now know why they said use just 1/2 as more would probably make it totally solid. TBH 1/4 would have been sufficient in the big container.

    Looking forward to trying many, many more different concoctions. If they turn out better than our "ready to go out in the trash tomorrow" trial then we'll be turning into full-time garbage disposal units!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::o I honestly can't see us throwing much, if anything out with this.

    I can honestly say it's easy. Why do people make in advance? It took all of a minute to load and liquefy. Cleaning is simples too, just run it under the tap.:T

    Hope everyone else who bought at the bargain £79.99 is as impressed as we are.

    I am very impressed also wirs. I've got mine mainly for ds who is high level athlete who is supposed to mainly live on meat and veg. However he does not like veg and is not fussed with fruit, so say no more;) the nutri bullet will be his new best friend and he won't even know it :rotfl: xx big thanks
