    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:.



    :rotfl: the last broccoli I got had 2 small ones in the packet, that's why I weighed it. it was only about 10g over. the main reason I get the pre packed is its more likely to compare. (as you said before).

    next time, once home, ill weigh the broccoli once unpacked just to test.

    6 bottles of wine = 25% off too I read on hukd at morrisons.


    Edit: thanks to JumbleJack - this won't work as its capped at 10,000 points!

    Evening luvlies, I was looking at this earlier. I was in Morries yesterday looking at the Frexinet which is down from £14.99 to £5.99 and the guy putting them out said there's 20% off from tomorrow (which is now today IYSWIM)

    Now back to the Hardys, if you buy 6 bottles and my maths is right it may work out to be £1.17 per bottle, that's providing the price match compares before the 25% is taken off!

    6 x £7.25 - £43.50
    Less 25% if you buy 6 - £32.62
    13560 match points (6 x 2250)
    12000 more points ( 6 x 2000)
    Total of 25560 - equates to £25.56

    Therefore £32.62 - £25.56 = £7.06 = £1.17 per bottle

    Am I right on this TIA x
