    Bumping for trulymadly(?). Some of the Barillas that compared, and did not, Tvs M the other day on this shop.

    I did a Barilla shop with Tosco today
    The Arrabbiata sauce did not compare
    All other items did:
    Sauces - Bolognese, Olive, Basilico
    Pasta - Penne Rigate, Lasagne, Wholewheat Spaghetti, Wholewheat Fusilli, Penne Tricolore

    Hope this helps :)

    I didn't realise these were N/A vs M: Young's Gastro Garlic & Herb Dusted Plaice Fillets (230G)

    No sadly I think it's only the three I have listed on my list near the start of this thread (posts 21-23):(. Not everything on those posts is guaranteed to work as it reflects my own view of what should be, which isn't necessarily what the APG/TBG has. However, it does show the three Young's Gastro products that go vs M and we see all of those three comparing to the M price that they should. I believe there aren't any further versions vs M beyond those three.

    Do you want me to do your shopping for you next time?:rotfl::rotfl:
    You want even numbers of Lightly Dusted Cod Fillets as the best option.

    Well they definitely have it in M so that's yet another item that TBG has missed:(.

    This did not include Coke Zero did it? If it did not, I would definitely take this up and complain if I were you - it seems to me you paid more on your shop than you would have done at the competitor, contrary to what they claim. I'd expect at least the outstanding difference and a £5 moneycard like Enterprise got recently.

    So - there you are: me thinking TBG N/As to be wrong (I usually have an unwelcome habit of turning out to be completely correct) but finding APG N/A to be correct (unfortunately). Next time it'll be the other way around maybe:rotfl::(.

    Goodnight:wave::wave:.

    Savvy you can't have had much sleep :eek: I note you are excited by your successful glitch with Coke Zero last night but you should get some sleep. staying up so long will catch you eventually. I also get why you stayed up but in true Mum style I'm actually worried about how long you've been up now :o get some sleep please. :p

    They were OOS of these clearly, as they were not on the shelf. I wonder why :p (I probably have a fellow elite member local to me - with a big freezer)
