    Those crisps are eluding me:( I've got the offers on the app, don't have a w nearby and my @ don't sell them...

    On the bright side it's probably a couple of hundred less calories to walk off;)

    I have managed to find them in one Asda, not my local, just one I happened to pass. Having said that they only sold the popchips and not tortilla ones.

    This might help tweets and anyone else doing SW looking at the tilda rice.

    Cheers sfsb for posting about this, the multi is still missing from A and msm (please shout loudly if this is not working anymore!)

    I've looked at the 250g packs on A£1.58 that msm says compare to W£1 and have looked up the syns on the official site.

    As long as they are £1.58 and 2 for £2 in your store then net 32p a packet.

    Syns taken from sw site:

    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Lemon (250g) 2 syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Lime & Coriander (250g) 2 syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Pilau Rice (250g) 2½ syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Sundried Tomato (250g) 2½ syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Mexican Chilli & Bean (250g) 2½ syns
    Tilda Steamed Pure Basmati Rice (250g) 3 syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Mushroom (250g) 3 syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Egg Fried (250g) 3½ syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Vegetable Biryani (250g) 3½ syns
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Coconut, Chilli & Lemongrass (250g) 5½ syns :eek:

    Couldn't find syns for these three varieties:

    Tilda Coconut Basmati Rice (250g)
    Tilda Basmati Rice Limited Edition (250g)
    Tilda Steamed Basmati Rice Sweet Chilli & Lime (250g)

    I had initially skipped this as just bought loads of batchelors super-rice as bachelors are replacing their syn free 120g super-rice with 100g packets that are no longer syn free.

    New batchelor packets have 'now cooks even faster' flashing on them, syns for those are:

    Golden Vegetable 1½ Syns
    Chicken 1½ Syns
    Curry 1½ Syns
    Chinese 1½ Syns
    Beef 2 Syns

    I had skipped these as I thought the syn values were too high, I don't waste my syns on meals lol but learnt tonight in class about the Batchelors not being free anymore :(. Time to look in the cheaper shops for the old packets :)

    I usually get carrot, red onion, brown onion, mushroom and 10p sweets f i want in and out;)
    I have to admit I have wasted so much cash buying 10p sweets (that nobody in my family eats so I give them away), that as of last week I have started using loose veg instead. I get some strange looks but a lot of the SAs now know me and what I do and they are mostly fine with it.

    My favourites (with gettable prices) are..

    2p for a single chilli
    2p for an inch of the bottom of a carrot
    2p for an inch of the bottom of a parsnip
    2p for a small piece of loose broccoli
    5p for a small onion (generally if someone has opened a pack of sp onions ;)
    8p for a mushroom
    2p for a brussel sprout

    So, the price of fillers for me has dropped drastically from 70p for 7 to less than 20p. Also, I can use the veg for meals or make soup if it starts to go a bit dodgy..:D

    We bought cordial,sweets,cling film & tinned veg,then we panic & think we haven't got enough fillers & go round again :o

    Think veg would be the way to go but I worry people will wonder why we are buying a single mushroom etc :rotfl:

    Hi everyone. Here is my C&C from this morning. I collected at 10am but only looked at my APG at about 4pm.

    Tampax was a disaster. They only gave me 1 box and charged me £2.79 for it. It looks as though Super is no longer working but I will try regular once more. The roasting bags are a good comparison. Seabrooks worked for me amazingly! The oil was a strange one for me. They subbed two oils for two serums and a cheap dove conditioner and the receipt shied £13 odd for the three so I didn't keep them. I really love the new Domestos spray bleach so ordered with the bleach trigger to see what happened. Nothing happened :) Thanks people.
