    I did indeed, circle plunger cutters :) I'm happy with the cake but it could've been a hell of lot neater. I had to rush to finish it and was a little late for work after :o

    If you'd got it any neater, you'd have been wearing it:rotfl:

    I have a healthy stash of most stuff pm but I did get some Sanex the other day as I really like it. I got Pringles too before Christmas but gave most of them away:o:)

    We got Pringles before Christmas ... and have very few left as Mrs Anon and Little Anons have been eating them instead of the Walkers :mad:. So now we have lots of Walkers going out of date and next to no Pringles :(.

    No doubt there will be more Pringles opportunities - back to £2.48 instore so ready for rollback or offers again.

    can't believe W don't have brocoli, eggs, leeks etc :/

    :rotfl::rotfl:10 eggs for £4 when they could have gone for 6x2 at 97px2. They could have had one pack of 6 Medium and one 6 Large - would have been mixed weight enough for me!:D:rotfl:

    Although - C&C'ers - I notice Happy Eggs 10 Mixed Weight show straight £2.75 on msm. £2.00 in T is showing OOS - might not work - and vs M at £2.75 might not come off either.

    W don't stock any Happy Egg Co. eggs - which is why we can use either of the 6 packs as fillers A vs W. W do have prepacked Broccoli, but it's 375g and therefore outside of the weight range. Had it been comparable it would have compared to W at about 60p. Loose broccoli should compare against W, and CBY Frozen Broccoli too - to £1.40!:eek: The W Leeks at 500g are not Trimmed (or, if they are, they are not described as such on msm/not picked up as such) and therefore are not compared against. The Trimmed ones in W are 400g and that's outside of the weight range.

    At least we know/suspect there is still a weight range, at least against W:rotfl::T.

    In fact asset2004, you can reveal to us (unless you've chucked the receipt like me:laugh:): do those Happy Eggs compare today vs T at £2? TIA.

    (EDIT: Oops, looks like asset2004 now logged off, on red light, maybe find out later. It just looks to me they could have been OOS for T for a while:eek:. The eggs that is, not asset2004:rotfl:)

    Update: Sadly, the Google caches for the Happy Eggs Mixed Weight 10 on msm.co.uk appear to be from before Christmas, so are not a short enough time ago to assist (unless anyone else can find any other information).

    They were marked as £1.50 in my store when I checked in the morning but I was charged £3 each for my C&C in the afternoon.

    They were reported as £1.50 instore vs £3 online yesterday. It's one you need to check first & be careful with though.

    The worst that can happen is they are full price in your store and you can then always reject them for a refund (easier if you are not using evouchers). The APG is based on the original order and will be generated so long as you accept some of your order...

    I wouldn't recommend doing this regularly though as I find that it is generally the same staff on C&C and it wouldn't take long for them to get fed up picking orders that keep getting rejected.

    As reported earlier, I think these have come off Rollback temporarily to establish the higher price (legally it has to be at a higher price for a certain amount of time for any advertised offers to be legal) and then will come back on a new offer (as the Pringles are also doing). Some stores just seem to be slow updating their SELs.and tills.

    We still have them. We had some Pringles over Christmas - but are we really going to use more than two tubes of them?:rotfl: We still have 8 or more left - and are we really going to use any at all now not at Christmas? Will probably last throughout the year and still have lots left at the end of the year, at 2015 Christmas. And the Christmas thereafter:rotfl:. We'd better use a few sometime this year:D:cool:. Plenty of time though - plenty! Actually thought of this the other day, seems an obvious question that's probably got an obvious answer: does anyone know why Pringles have BB a year or more away whilst regular packs of crisps, e.g. Walkers, usually have a month or two, on a Saturday:D, as the expiry?

    The trimmed leeks are 400g

    I rejected half of them (6/12) as I knew I'd get the full APG.

    6 at £3 took my spend to the same as it would have been with 12 at £1.50 - I just have fewer 'better than free' items to take home. :rotfl:
