    Brussels sprouts wars:eek:

    We have our first glitch of the thread I think!:D

    No wonder the loose are beaten by the packs when the packs are glitching. Methinks they may be thinking they are parsnips:rotfl:. Although, saying that, I wouldn't compare Parsnips vs 69p - they were 49p before - and I wait for 50p/49p pricing, probably to fail to bother with 50p ever again now they have gone to 49p (and back up again:() - I wouldn't bother with 500g parsnips vs 69p so should I with sprouts?:think: Sprouts, parsnips - are sprouts really more 'valuable'?!?

    Looks like a staff discount

    Does the receipt have a deduction that says "Discount Given "?

    Presumably EVERYTHING on the APG shows 10% less than the individual receipt lines....?

    Only just got back in, that b/c is the CBY 1kg frozen chicken £5 so I think aau1 is right about a staff discount ?

    Thank you both, yes you are both spot on. I looked again and it was a staff discount on the womble.

    I had a look at the chicken in Sainsbobs today and looks like the comparison is these 1kg bags that are fresh chicken breasts? (comparing to A's frozen chicken 1kg £5).

    Multi Grass Seed 1.00kg (Large Box) scanning at 1p instore @ Wilko
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/multi-grass-seed-1kg-large-box-scanning-1p-instore-wilko-2039068

    Thanks Bubbs, I'll look out for this as I need some grass seed. I bought some Westland AFtercut Patch Fix for a fiver from Home Bargains, but it is total rubbish. I wish I had kept the box & receipt now as no grass grew and the fertiliser pellets haven't dissolved. :(

    Sainsbobs had lots of Halloween costume bits reduced today, lots of it £1 but nothing much left in my store?
