). I read a few posts wondering why everyone was talking in a mysterious code...but 2 words made it into my brain. 'Free Cheese'.
Loaded up T grocery shopping and had a go. Couldn't get £15 of £60 token to work, but had a £3 off £30 so went for that instead. Coupled with cheese deal and some voucher stacking getting with 2 off 7 chilled meal deal, with 2 for 5 pizzas and 1.17 covent garden soup, plus vouchers £1 off pizza and .75 off soup. Then rounded it out to £30, using whatever other misc vouchers I had for things I needed. Was actually on when T fixed the prices, noticed some meat I had been considering was now showing at correct price, and finished up quickly before I accidentally did anything to make the basket refresh!
Ended up with 4 blocks cheese, 2 pizzas, 2 soups, box of eggs, 2 boxes of lasagne sheets, 4 tins tomatoes, marmite and some chocolate for princely sum of £3.68.
So thank you to whoever it was that caught this (and enough people explaining it so I got it!) :j you have made my day (and I am definitely watching this thread from now on).
Right, now back trying to find an affordable Sat-nav for a christmas pressie...

As for my shopping in A earlier today (no, I didn't do Avs Sains.), the 1Kg carrots are still returning N/A vs M - don't know whether this reflects Wednesday yet:
1 x ASDA Carrots (1Kg)£0.57N/A
That wasn't a planned item - but store was OOS of something else so I had to change things around a bit. I was originally going to get a Banana at A and a single carrot (hoping I could get a much smaller carrot than a banana) at S, but ended up the other way around:cool::rotfl:!
There is some Domestos Pink or Lemon or Blue (1L for 750ml) in M at £1. However, I thought about it but decided that that's not a particularly good price, with various offers on various own brands in different places.
1 x ASDA Thick Bleach Lemon (2L)£1.55£1.00
Shopping was vs T.0 -
I think the Asda beef joints are 'Bubbs Beef' - the one I just got is Butchers Selection Top Rump and thats what it says on one of last years BB's thats still in my freezer.ELITE 5:2
