Here's the result of an A v T Comfort shop from 4pm today. £2.98 each, 2 for £3 in A, missing multis mean they compare nicely to the £1.50 price in T.
For every 2 you buy, pay £3 and get an apg for £3.26..:D
6 different flavours of the 42 wash stuff and all should work for the rest of the day.
1x Wham Raspberry Flavoured Bar (16G) £0.10 N/A
1x Comfort Blue Fabric Conditioner 42 Wash (1.5LT) £2.98 £1.50
2x Comfort Pure Fabric Conditioner 42 Wash (1.5LT) £5.96 £3.00
1x Comfort Tropical Fabric Conditioner 42 Wash (1.5LT) £2.98 £1.50
1x Swizzels Refreshers Chew Bar (SINGLE) £0.10 N/A
1x Giant Strawberry Stripes (1PK) £0.10 £0.10
1x Haribo Starmix (1PK) £0.10 £0.10
1x MAOAM Sour Giant Stripes Cola & Lemon Flavour (1PK) £0.10 £0.10
1x Barratt Flumps (12G) £0.10 £0.10
4x Comfort Lavender Fabric Conditioner 42 Wash (1.5L) £11.92 £6.00I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.

I think this is quite expensive is it not? We'd expect ten 440ml cans at M's price of £5 on these 250ml cans (as 20x440ml go to 'best' offers of straight £10 - or maybe they are downsized:( now to 18 pack there but just trying to get back to what we should;)).
Stella Artois (10x250ml)
£6.00 24p / 100ml
£6.00
£6.00

Actiff Bio Laundry Powder - 90 Washes (6Kg)
£6.00 £5.00 5.6p / Wash:D Valid until 22/11/2015
I wouldn't put it past this to be just as good as well-known branded washing powders, if not :eek:even better. They tend not to be advertised, so the money that would have been spent on that goes instead into making the product (and selling it at a cheaper price). People generally tend to shy away from these items, as far as I see it, probably because they are not well-known names (or as well-known) and therefore they do not know whether or not to trust the product - instead they stick to tried and tested when, probably, these lesser-known brands do just as good a job if not better.
I have no experience of using this product. People just trust the well-known brands, because they are a known name. Only for something like the No Ad sun lotion earlier in the year to turn out, according to reviews, to be one of the best sun lotions there are - and for really expensive brands that cost £10 or even more:eek: to turn out to be not very good! I also remember how shocked some people were that, for example, Birds Eye of all brands could be caught up in the horsemeat scandal. People just trust their brands and are shocked when they could never imagine that such a product, that they associate with such quality, could ever be involved. Me - I just expect it, that any product, whether well-known or not, could 'fail' and that, sometimes, I think, trust that people place in some products is misplaced trust. I'm not surprised: any brand or own label could turn out not to be so good - I tend to think it's the brands these days that are more likely to fail - maybe people buying in large quantities leads to lowest common denominator to satisfy the mass tastes?:think: - huge sums are spent persuading people to buy the products, and to pay a premium, when if truth be known it'd probably turn out that many of them were made in the same factories and on the same conveyor belts as the usually cheap value items (of course an exception has to be made for Heinz soup recently vs the expensive SP soups:D:rotfl::rotfl: - and to be fair I like Heinz, but wouldn't rate it any better or worse quality than any other soup).
I thought about this a little earlier, with the usually expensive branded cereals - at the end of the day it's the same ingredients, such as wheat, that are in the cereals and surely they can't do much special to the ingredients to make the brand version really any different in any special way?0 -
Oops - 5p per wash, apparently this in Iceland:
Easy 3in1 Laundry Powder - 100 Washes (6.8Kg)

£5.00
I'll still let the Actiff washing powder onto the list though. Because I say so! If anything does find it to be completely useless (the washing powder that is, not my list:rotfl:), then I'll reconsider it - of course if they let me know (I'm not psychic:laugh:).0 -
Pork Mince £2.50 in M sorry, not £2.75. It may therefore still be going up in price for M if the APG has the same info. as me (and remember, last time I tried to work it out although I did end up at the same figure as the APG got).
Talking about items that get onto the list, I must thank someone who found the 680g Picked Gherkins in A and had a comparison against M some time ago. You've managed to get the item onto the M list - and that's a rare feat indeed! Actually, I did put the Rockin' Chilli Mac Cheese onto the list - I had no idea this American version would compare against Italian:rotfl:. The large jar of Gherkins changed a little in price and have now settled at a penny more expensive than before in M. However, it seems, as long as the APG plays ball, there's no need to be messing with any of that: although the price per 100g on the 680g in M is more expensive than their price on the larger jar, the 10% makes all the difference and the 680g is actually cheaper by weight if it compares against M!0 -
I'm just looking pointlessly at some of the bleach products - really wish the Harpic White & Shine bleaches would go from £1 onto an mbuy that made no saving at all and nice high individual price - but sadly seems stuck at £1 straight:(. The Domestos 750ml are equally useless - with their low individual price:( (not as low as Elite low of course:D). Elsewhere, all three of the Marigold gloves have gone down to £1.67 in M but I think they were £1.24 some months ago, so no good there.0
