Be careful on this one. I did an APG last week against Morries & it came up A LOT more than £1 - over £4 if I remember rightly. I know I lost well over £3 on the APG.Savvybuyer wrote: »As if you'd go for this in the light of the Ben & Jerry's:rotfl: (ignore the OOS: it isn't):
Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Ice Creams - Salted Caramel & Sour Cherry (500ml)

£4.00 any 2 for £6.00

Don't forget that Baileys hopefully is still working £18.50 A's £12 M's - nice for Christmas & pressies at £10.80 a litre!
I'm hoping the Taylors of Harrogate Espresso works too £3.48A & £2 M.
Won't get results until tomorrow night at earliest -3-5pm del.0 -
my till spit bonus points from Sunday showed on Monday, mycoupons bonus points on Tuesday, never had any trouble with the local/petrol station promo eithershirley999 wrote: »I think we know more about nectar and mycoupons than Sainsbury's themselves. I hope your points show up. I would email them and explain the length of time wasted and ask for a goodwill gesture. At least as long as we know more we continue to get double bonuses: - mycoupons and paper coupons/till spits!

thanks FC (and aau) :beer:0 -
I've just sneaked A S/P Chicken Wings onto the list - they were removed a while ago as they have previously picked up an incorrect too high price for M - although they also have been known to pick up a incorrect slightly lower price:D. Msm has T as showing much lower price, but ignore that as it's using a much lower weight. The comp. vs M should therefore be the best, based on M's actual price per kg. However, it may work out best vs T if the comp vs M fails.0

:eek:
I did not notice it at £1 in M last week. I assume it was £4 - it may have gone to £1 after the Wednesday. I assume it was £1 on Monday just gone, since it's showing with that price but now as OOS on msm. This is one that I would not risk on the APG (unless of course I had knowledge from any womble that it was comparing there and then) but would just buy in M. If it were half the price it is:rotfl:. And if I liked Salted (<-yuck) Caramel and Sour (horrid Sour:rotfl:) Cherry!
Bailey's has to be £10 or less for me to put that onto the list:rotfl:. However, I will put the 1L alcohols (£15:eek:) onto the list soon. I'm hoping to do - I should have mentioned this on my last post - a full revision of the M list this time, at some point towards, or over, the weekend. I'm getting those A and T prices put right (only for them to change them again:rotfl:) as I should have time for that this week.
227g Expresso at £2 'should' work (I'd be a tiny bit surprised if it did not (you know nothing much ever really "surprises" me;) (perhaps because I usually have no expectation about anything, one way or another but am entirely neutral about everything as ever:D:laugh:))). 227g Expressos have to be £1 or below for me nowadays:rotfl:.
It's usually that I expect things to be case that nearly everyone else doesn't - and therefore 'everyone else' is surprised by something and I'm there not surprised by it at all.0 -
I too learnt the hard way (4x cookie dough) in more than just one shop.
Never mind it just won't taste as nice now

Savvy - it was £1 on the Monday - shop was done last Wednesday but had it in basket a couple of days beforehand.
Missed out on the Bakewell tart too that should have compared at 79p.
Are you saying we have no taste? lol We both like sour cherry & also salted caramel. Haven't tried the ice-cream yet so won't tell you it's wonderful - YET!
8 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
1x Baileys The Original Irish Cream (1L) £18.50 £12.00

1x Whyte & Mackay Scotch Whisky (1L) £18.50 £17.00

1x Mr Kipling Bakewell Tart (EACH) £1.48 £1.54
Comparison total (compared products only) £60.61 £50.43
+£10.18 cheaper
The whyte & Mackey has now gone down to £15 in M's - presumably it should compare. Only did a shop as had APG's expiring + they were kind enough to give me £10 off my next 4 shops - How nice of them!
Anyone would think we drink looking at the above shop - all for pressies -HONEST! The brandy is to keep feeding my 21/2yr old Xmas cakes - they smell divine!
Savvy - Baileys at £10.80 for 1 litre isn't bad. Yep I remember when we were getting for 19p from T's in the great double the difference against Asda
Made a rod for my own back there gifting everyone Baileys! It was much appreciated.
With the £10 pressie from A's maybe I should have bought more than 2 in my shop for tomorrow? Makes them cheaper still!0 -

Oh you have a nice [thing that can't mention on here]:rotfl:. A nice cat, and just conveniently as I am reaching the Cat Litter on my list. Does anyone have the SP Cat Litter 10L (on a womble, on a shop) and it is comparing against M? It's now £1.55 in T, S and M (as well as A) but I have M at 10Kg and everywhere else at 10L, so I imagine it's N/A vs M? If anyone knows differently, do let me know and I'll add it to the list.
Moving on... I had the four versions of Kellogg's Nutri-Grain (their promotional words:p) cereal bars at £1 that were mentioned earlier, as well as some Raisin Bakes, Choc Chip Bakes (I assume this aren't on mbuy in A so no good) and a Granola Biscuits Chocolate & Nut version. I shan't be bothering with the four though, as I imagine the glitch will be over soon and making them not very good anymore.0 -

Last Wednesday would have been the price collection from the previous Monday (12th October). I didn't have the Cadbury Creations product on that Monday or on last Wednesday. In fact I didn't notice it at all:eek: - so it may have been full price (£4) in M then.
The Bakewell Tart should have compared against 77p:rotfl:. Sorry. I think they did their price collection on Monday too early:( for the Ms they were in to have changed their SELs.
The White & MacKay Whiskey comparing against £17 too:eek: - it seems bought prematurely.
I'm certainly not saying you have no taste:o:o. Just that you have a different taste to me on that one item. Actually, the two together as an ice-cream - might well taste nice. Though, sadly, they would have tasted a lot nicer had they been 90p rather than £3.60!:eek:
Have those Dolmios gone down from 500g to 470g? (Or were they 'always' 470g?)0
