    How come you missed this one?:D

    a.%20brandy_zpsd0ispsfb.jpg

    I only paid £18 each for the three barrels brandy, so after apg it works out at £10.70 for a litre bottle!:)

    The fish didn't work though.:(

    I'm not sure what was being expected to compare, fish-wise.
    Price on the Gammon!:eek::rotfl:

    Does the Sprout Stalk, fwiw, compare against M?
    (I'm still going for 1Kg frozen sprouts Avs T at 80p.)

    Sains Basics potatoes (my T store was OOS of Eday:mad:) turned out to be Charlotte Potatoes, for me, this time - 4Kg at £1.90. Slightly more expensive than T Eday by weight - probably only about a penny more. However, :eek:just 4kg for £1.90 when only 10p more would have bought more than three times as much (12.5Kg) from M on its offers in the past. It now seems :(M now OOS even on £4 price ones. I think the Basics will last us a bit more anyway - perhaps a week with, given M's failure to go on offer on its (previous? I hope not) 12.5Kg potatoes, I may now need.

    1x ASDA British Sprout Stalk (EACH) £1.00 £1.00 v.M
    I was hoping the prawns would compare at £2.50 and the plaice at £2.05 and for the multi-buy not to show!

    I have to say that it is a rather nice looking piece of gammon.:)

    So picking up morries hula hoops:D

    Which shows that the shop must have been done today or late yesterday and that therefore the Pringles are deducting off everyone's comps outside N.I. vs M and potentially customers are paying T more overall on their brands! They are likely to pick up Pringles on "offer" at £1.24 in T. That said, I know how some muggles can easily lose over £7 on their brands even otherwise so would have had no "deduction" even if they had not bought any Pringles. Pringles are definitely a good dispute item with T CS HQ at the moment and potential money-cards (and indeed with stores themselves as you should never pay more - they must be able to do something to ensure that you don't - surely?!?)!

    NB: The M offer on Pringles is due to end after today. The others are supposed to be on for a little longer.

    It's complicated (as usual), so listen up again -

    This is better price per 100g on A's straight price in A than A's own brand Crumble Topping Mix. However, O is 2 for £1.20 so it misses out. And A's own topping mix, at 49p, if it compares against T or M at 45p would work out cheaper than the Aunt Bessie's if bought in A at straight 75p without a comparison but more expensive than A if it compares to 10% cheaper than M on AB and somewhat more expensive still than 2 of the AB being bought from Ocado. (Nice usual Savvy conundrum style of expression again:D! I understand it perfectly and immediately straight away, in full, as that's how my mind works.)

    Aunt Bessie's Golden Crumble Mix (400g)


    Store_2.15px.png
    75p 18.8p / 100g
    • Store_4.15px.png
      93p any 2 for £1.20
    • Store_8.15px.png
      77p
    In short, ABs is cheaper (but requires a successful comp. vs M in A) and better bought from O on its offer. However, you'd have to need that much Crumble Mix.

    Good luck. Parking there is a nightmare. Hope the scan goes well.

    I just had a call from my favourite people, hospital transport. They confirmed my appointment at 11, and said I need to be ready for 7, 3 hours before. I told them that 3 hours before was 8, not 7, but that it doesn't take 3 hours to get to London. Fell on deaf ears. :(

    Coming at 8 we will get stuck in all the rush hour traffic on the motorway. If they came at 9 we'd miss it. However, common sense seems to go out the window with these things.
