I have been buying 4 x family packs £30 plus I x lurpak £6.20 and using 3 x dairy vouchers compares to £19.50 making I think £7.70 to pay:D

I think you've mixed up your figures

4 cheese + 1 lurpak gives £16.70 BM

So £36.20 - £16.70 = £19.50 - £9 mocs = £10.50

That's what I was working out COT


Happy with 3 + 2 mouldy for £7 then.

Not read back yet but wanted to post about buying Colgate on COS in T, the kids maxcavity compares on BG to Asda £2 to £1 (£1 COS), and Colgate Expert White compares £5.99 to £3 (£2 COS). So buy 5 kids and 5 expert to get £19.95 off with BG and £15 COS. Don't get 6 of each as this would go over £20 limit on BG! Kids free, Expert £1 each. HTH

Regarding Cadburys fingers, I buy the 350g bags from H&B or B&M, 79p, blue bag of broken fingers, never too many broken ones and great value as they are equivalent to about 3 boxes.

You would need to buy 8 fillers as well?

Also could you buy the gatorade and posh crisps in the same shop for COS

I've got all my vegetables from Aldi and I've used a different Lidl today which is near to the Aldi. I've got the Lidl prices therefore, possibly for the next to last time. It seemed a bit more organised and in logical order this time. Quite a bit has changed - I'll eventually update it all - but don't be automatically getting what people might think are the 'weekly offers' at 59p as some of them seem to go down to 49p the following week - or else there are cheaper alternatives available in the general run.

The 39p Broccoli in Aldi turns out to be 335g:( - however the 39p Broccoli in Lidl, which was 500g:T, is no longer available as it's gone up to 59p:(. The Leeks, 59p:( on their 'weekly offer' but then 49p in the general run have now gone up even worse. The 500g Parsnips are still 49p; however the 600g Parsnips are 39p in Aldi. I hope you're keeping up:rotfl: - Parsnips from Aldi and we're not bothering with Broccoli anymore as Aldi's is lower weight and Lidl's has gone up in price.

There were some Oaklands Mixed Peppers (3 pack - 500g) that were, if I remember correctly, 59p on the 'weekly offer' but then 49p:(. They are now back at 59p, and I'm frowning about even 49p as that's too much: Oaklands Fresh Pointed Red Peppers are in the general run - they also turn to be 500g and they are 29p! So, don't always go for whatever 59p is put out straight in front of you;)!

Purple Aubergine has gone up from 39p to 45p. Red Cabbage is now 45p (see what I mean about it not being on as a 'weekly offer', it's just in the normal run (although it does have red label background)) - turns out to be 45p per kg.

Again, another example: there are some tomatoes in what might be seen as those 'weekly offers' (that are put out on the end of the aisle, in front of everyone!) at 59p. However, the Baby Plum Tomatoes (250g) remain at 39p, the general run, and, according to the prices per kg. displayed on each of them, they work out cheaper! Joining them now (as either only just put onto this price by Lidl or else only available for me in this different shop) are some Cherry Tomatoes (same weight as the Baby Plum Tomatoes) also at 39p. So, stick to Baby Plum or Cherry and avoid the 'weekly offer'! Of course, tinned tomatoes are cheaper:rotfl: - particularly if they are KTC caught at the right time:D.

There are, however, 1Kg punnets of conference pears at 59p. Maybe they'll be 49p next week:rotfl:. Perhaps not. They in effect 'replace' the Aldi ones that were 59p yesterday but that Super6 has now ended (to be replaced by far better offers on potatoes and vegetables:T:T). I counted 7 pears in the punnets in the Lidl I used, so, roughly the same as the Aldi pears packs had been.

There are quite a few other changes - including the Saskia Sparkling Mineral Water individual price appears to be becoming more expensive (I had it as 34p in the first week (but that could have been a transcribing error of mine, probably not though), then 35p, now 45p:eek: - mbuy remains the same) - I'm not going to mention any more but will just update them on the list whenever I get to it!:)

I don't know what day Lidl prices change (although, obviously, some weekend offers will be added by Lidl this Saturday) - I have just used Thursday in any event!

Yes got the fillers sorry should have mentioned them. Couldn't see the posh crisps and already had gatorade but did get little fruit bowl 8 for £2 hoping to get £4 COS, they showed as NA against A.

Has anyone found the Post Office offer for adding to additional cards please or has it reached its quota/only on main Amex accounts?

Many thanks

Anon

As tbear says I can confirm the Colgate Max White Cool Mint and Soft Mint both compare correctly £5.99 T to £3 A, making them £1 each after COS as just done the same shop myself with Fruit Bowls, Kettle Crisps and Chocolate Orange.

Fruit Bowls were funny on self service, as the scales wouldn't recognise the weight of them in my bag, attendent had to come verify each time to allow me to continue, she offered to put them through in bulk but I had to decline as I needed all 5 types as fillers, she wasn't too pleased :rotfl:
