    These smartprice muesli bars had a red clearance label on them so they went through for 40p a six pack box :j
    Very useful for lunch boxes (unless muesli bars are a banned substance in schools ???)
    or as a food bank trolley item, good date expire in May.

    They also work as a filler in shops

    a v t
    a v s

    BUT NOT IN A SADA V MORRIBOBS (excuse the shouting) the cranberry one does not compare, the choc one does against Morribobs 74p

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Chocolate & Nut Muesli Bars (6x23g... £0.40 £0.74
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Strawberry Flavoured Cranberry Mue... £0.40 N/A

    The foxs were labelled as £1.69 with no multi listed on SEL this morning

    Went through at 2 for £2.50

    :(Not as good as they were before. They were on 2 for £2 some weeks ago, which I only know due to my tardy updating on the M list. Way too dear for me now then:rotfl::rotfl:. I will eventually move the M list (it's still at the beginning of the Christmas Lapland thread) and A's prices woefully out of date - I thought I'd leave it in last year, where it belongs (even though it is still valid - as valid as it ever is...).

    So, waiting to hear about the Finish dishwasher cleaner - it would be good if that is a find - I suspect it's no luck though and that they haven't got an mbuy on it, but you never know...:)

    mhoc have you not got a calculator on your pc/laptop or phone ? ;)

    Yes but its not as easy - my trusty calculator has big buttons so I don't have to squint as I do using the phone calculator.

    I also get perverse pleasure out of pressing the equal button :D

    I wish I'd realised that I could have included the foxes chunky cookies in with my mini muggle shop

    Or type 'google calculator' into a search engine, and you can do sums online.
