That is ridiculous, there's only three of those I haven't tried:eek: Some of them I rank among my favorites. Now, if the list had included strange meaty circular objects found on your plate while in Honk Kong the answer may have been different :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

There's loose apples and stuff by weight (other fruit, and vegetables) that doesn't always show prices for the rivals on msm. Then you have to look at the price per 100g or per kg at both stores on msm, even if the total weight it's giving is different.

Loose Bananas are an example - always shows T as "Approx. 180g" on msm but A as 170g. Individual price showing is based on the different weights (even though you can of course purchase different weights to 170g and 180g at both A and T) but price per kg is the same therefore APG for 10% cheaper. Occasionally it rounds down T's price by one penny too.

I don't think the individual weights being within 10% is key there - the key is the words "Loose" or "By Weight".

On the Loose Broccoli, for example - called "ASDA Broccoli by Weight (400g)" on msm, it's showing the price for T for "Approx. 380g", the price for S, incorrectly, for the 69p fixed weight 335g version, the price for W, wrongly, for the 375g fixed weight (rather than 4x 20p, the price on the per kg product), the price for fixed-weight W broccoli at Ocado and, incorrectly, the 49p on M's 335g fixed-weight broccoli rather than the £1.39/kg loose version (same price as A).

I'm sorry - I don't want to make it more complicated and put people off - these being the technical aspects that can, for the most part, be ignored by most people who copy shops or items that are already known to work from other shops.

In short, £1.39/kg for broccoli is cheaper than 49p for 335g (works out at around £1.46/kg) and the Broccoli by Weight is therefore the one wanted (vs M in GB or vs T at best in NI). Assuming it picks up M's price correctly from the instore collection.

I'm writing all these down. I knew you all would have good ideas

The kids have to make something at home so they have plenty of time.

I was thinking of doing an activity on the day as well, not sure what yet. I was thinking a trail around the show. and maybe some colouring in sheets

Do modern children still play with plasticine? I seem to remember making an entire circus for a kids competition when I was about 6 or 7. It took ages, but I still recall the hours of fun it gave me, and I think I won something too. You could have a "make your own model farm" competition? I would suggest it should all fit on a teatray, so that the size is OK, and it is portable. Or what about write a short story/illustrated poem about a day on a farm? Or draw a picture of "the best farm in the world" or "my favourite farm animal" or "my favourite farm vehicle..." I hope that you'll have fun!

Noticed that the cakes (incl. Kiplings and McV Jamaica) that were 2 for £1.50 are now 3 for £2.00 - oh that is slight reduction in unit price but, again, they are causing people to buy more if they wish to obtain that - are these still 2 for £1.50 instore? If so, buy two and compare (some of them) vs Morries perhaps.

Or - save yourself the money, and buy nothing at all.
