    It's ok savvy the ones people may buy are the light and crispy and part of the £5 meal deal on Ts so no one is paying full price for them in either store. ;)

    I can see four different versions BE Chicken 4 pack on t.com. All of them are £3.24 in M. I saw a row of £3.24s and thus ignored all of them. They are all no-go on Tvs M (unless you want to reduce your TBG amount).

    I can see there's a meal deal offer on at T involving the Light Crunchy Breaded. This will compare using T full prices but will lose out slightly vs M on this product as M are £3.24 (T individual price £2.75). So, although people would get the meal deal price and then maybe some good comparisons on other items within it, they will lose 49p on each Light & Crunchy Breaded Chicken (up to 10) that they put into their shop if they are comparing vs M. This it seems is exactly what's happening. Unfortunately, the M price is correct. TBG is not picking up another item in error - or, if it is, it is not affecting that 49p (per pack up to 10) loss as it is the same price as the Light and Crunchy Breaded in M is.

    Birds Eye 4 Battered Fish Fillets 400G , do you know how much these are in M's please Savvy tia :)

    Either N/A or £4.00!
    I don't know - I would have to search M thoroughly tomorrow (today:eek:) and check. I know there are some Birds Eye that are like those and they are all full price! Even the other Birds Eye Inspirations went up in price in M on Monday. So, if they are available in M - my guess is more for an N/A:) but I would not vouch for it at all - they will be more expensive in M.

    However, this, which is same price in T as the Battered Fish Fillets are, is £2 in M:

    Birds Eye Crispy Fish Bites in Batter (26 per pack - 350g)

    £3.00 85.7p / 100g
    Store_8.15px.png
    [Strike]£2.99[/Strike]
    £2.00


    It's lower weight - but, if it compares - and it bloody well should!:mad::mad::D:rotfl: - it would be cheaper on weight at M's £2 price than T at £3 on 400g is. I think:rotfl::o. (I haven't checked that - but, it's probably the case! Only 50g difference but a £1 cheaper price?:think:)

    Yes, I can just flip over on msm and see:

    Birds Eye Battered Fish Fillets (4 per pack - 400g) are £3 in T. 75p/100g.
    Birds Eye Crispy Fish Bites in Batter (26 per pack - 350g) at £2 in M are 57.1p/100g.

    So, quite a lot cheaper!

    So, therefore, I suggest a replacement. That you buy the Crispy Fish Bites and not the Battered Fish Fillets. Don't let T rip you off on the Battered Fish Fillets:rotfl:! Indeed - I note msm price graph (even though I never trust those things:rotfl:) shows a low of £1.50 on the Battered Fish Fillets. So, £3 is full price is too expensive! My maximum guide price would be £2 - seems it should be £1.50:rotfl:. It's too expensive - get the Crispy Fish Bites instead which whatever remaining £1 you have left on the TBG.

    Right, I'm going now as I'm due to check M again. Fwiw, I will have a look for more precise Birds Eye products that may catch you out by being full price in M. Before I go, is there anything anyone wants me to check?:rotfl:

    They compare to £1.50 at T. and W. (only the garlic ones)

    Hi aau :) If I had say a free 20 pack and a free 4 pack in my wallet, could I claim both on one receipt, or should I pay separately and get two receipts? TIA

    Another for you!
    Alpro products that are 4 for £4 also appears to have the offer finishing, but should pay multi price instore, but show full price on apg.
    http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/promotion/ls86410

    As there are so many variations that compare to different places, it would be best to check for yourselves.

    The best one I can see is the Alpro hazelnut.

    Compares to M. 2 for £2 so after apg should cost £1.24 for 4.:)
    Untested!
