Everything not 10% cheaper - yet again nearly always same price as elsewhere - except for the Roberts Bread:(. A very bad purchase indeed those breads are. I had nearly the exact same situation the other day - when they bought items that compared same price and then put some Roberts breads in and lost the entire APG vs Morries!:mad::rotfl: And, I think - they tried their best on me:mad: on one recent shop vs T - Roberts Breads losing out even though, fortunately, they drastically overpaid on other stuff vs T.
Ah - :idea:I'd better put the SP Cola onto my M list. I looked at this the other day as saw it wasn't on my list - but I had it as Low Calorie cola in A but M being No Added Sugar Cola. To me, they were different and Low Cal. doesn't mean no sugar - indeed, the A S/P one has "Sweeteners", and I notice they include Sucralose, which I treat as a form of sugar - therefore not NAS (it is an artificial sweetener, several times more sweet than sugar, but is derived from sucrose (i.e. "sugar")). However, despite containing a derivative of sugar, I see SP Cola is comparing on the APG:cool: so onto the list it goes. Way to go on the Savoy Cabbage - full price vs full price:(:rotfl:.0 -
I'm just doing a double-take there on the Swede Portions by Weight, as 0.63x at 63p would suggest 500g for 50p, which is at my guide price!
And, indeed, I notice they are!:T:T
So, I'll just check whether they're comparing vs anywhere else, but Swede by weight may be an okay purchase at the moment - and good as a 'filler' vs M.0 -

Thank you so much for replying, I saw the biscuits last night but forgot when I went into store tonight.
But I did get a bargain tonight in my local, were selling off the posh roasting tins for £1 each and baking trays for 50p, when I say posh I mean good quality ones not your bog standard roasting tin :rotfl:
If my glitchy friend CouponKathy is lurking I have got you two of each!!We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits.

Travesty just now that a long, big shop gives just 77p back - and the Quorn 8 pack frozen sausages were bought just a few weeks too late and compare £1.96 vs £1.99 M.
The Cherrytree chorley cakes went back to comparing against M's own brand on the current price collection (from Monday):rotfl::
1 x Cherrytree Bakery Chorley Cakes (4)£0.90£0.97
So, that would get them a little off A's price. A few pence:(. Really expensive still though, as these went up all round several months back and best I saw was 66p each.0 -
