ARE YOU SURE - are you really sure?

ive weighted the pre packed ones and they are more often than not heavier than the pack price, so making them cheaper per 100g than the label states

Ah...!! I'll have to check that one, many thanks.
So, there's me being misled by assuming they were as low weighted as they stated.

I'll have to stop making assumptions entirely at the supermarket - I thought I didn't make any, unlike the common person, but there I am - falling into the trap of assuming something - and, I really ought to have known better, as usual, any assumption at all with the supermarkets is always incorrect.

It's probably a matter of fractions of a penny. But we have approx. £1.46/kg vs £1.46/kg (10% off) if they are 335g - otherwise need now to adjust for actual weight. And approx. £1.39/kg vs £1.40/kg (10% off) on the loose. And don't forget the potential effect of fractions of pennies on the actual weight you buy rounding up to the nearest penny and making them actually slightly, slightly more expensive per 100g. But then offset, maybe, by the APG doing the same on the competitor price, going to refund to being 10% cheaper and rounding up to the nearest penny:T.

Are you sure though? Is your weight on the prepacked ones including the weight of the packaging itself and therefore you aren't getting as much as that? Need to weigh the broccoli, alone, separately once you get home and see if it really is, without the weight of the packaging, more than 335g!:rotfl: And I hope your weighing system, at home, is adequately and accurately calibrated on a regular-enough basis! (Can we assume the ones in the supermarkets are?:think:)

It's matters of fractions of saving however I suspect:rotfl:.

Well I thought it was ok with the lid down until Savvy said otherwise and they're in the ensuite where houseguests are not allowed. I think I'll clear a space in the cupboard for them now though

100's of toilets are flushed up and down the country with toothbrushes, soap, towels and flannels etc in the vicinty without too much ill effects if any!:D

you really are worrying unnecessarily

as others have said we need bacteria to keep our immune systems in good shape!:cool:

I wouldn't advise eating you dinner in there but with hand washing and good hygiene practices you'll be fine!:D
