Cadbury Mini eggs Carton(41.5g) unavailable in asda

Indeed it really is:D:rotfl:.

So, their shopping was cheaper but just not by 10% (surprise surprise:D) but does that mean that they made good purchases as, after all, A is cheaper isn't it?

Er, no! Vs M was the best - but let's have a look at what they could have got better!

Expensive peanuts - 500g were £1 in M a few weeks ago!:rotfl: (I can't find them anymore - if there is a store in which one pack has got left at the back of the shelf and never bought, then that, at 500g, it's highly likely will still be £1!)

1x KP Salted Peanuts (300G) £1.98 £1.99

They still like these small 300g packs at £1:eek::

1x McVitie's Digestives Milk Chocolate (300G) £1.00 £1.00

500g were £1.00 in M a few months ago (I have mine - still BB April this year, so, still in date!) £1.14 for 500g now in T - would still, if that compared, work out cheaper by weight than the 300g packs though. And SP Milk Chocolate digestives - I'm positive myself that they are nearly identical! - are much cheaper (and still cheaper than the 500g even at their best price).

SP Rubber Gloves don't compare against M:(:
1x ASDA Smartprice Rubber Gloves Medium (2PK) £0.46 N/A

Neither do they compare against S these days - they used to compare against 24p (until S increased its price to 30p:( then compared against that) - that was a glitch as S is actually a single pair of gloves, rather than a 2 pack of two pairs - but that has not worked ever since the system moved away from msm and they are now N/A against S:(. Vs T now for straight 10% off at best.

Wrong Fairy WUL.

2x Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid (500ML) £2.00 N/A

It would, hopefully, have worked out cheaper if they'd bought 2x 870ml against M even at current 2 for £3 'offer' (straight price offers are £1.33). Or if they'd bought some at 50p. Instead, they went for them at individual price of £1.40:eek: and then bought two of them in order to try to make a saving but in fact fail to do so!

Wrong Cathedral cheese:p.

2x Cathedral City Mature Cheddar Twin Pack (700) £8.00 N/A

Expensive oranges.

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Medium Oranges (5PK) £1.00 £1.47

And I mean at A's price and not even opting into higher 10% cheaper than M price! 7 pack Oranges at Aldi are 59p.

My guide price used to be maximum £1 for a 300g bag, let alone 180g:

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Unwashed Baby Spinach (180G):rotfl: £1.00 N/A

Grower's Selection Salad Tomatoes do not compare:(:

2x ASDA Grower's Selection Salad Tomatoes (750G) £2.50 N/A

They may not see the BPBV Tomatoes (min. 750g) in M at £1 as comparable. So, buy in M! I took a risk on that and was wrong. Msm.co.uk has got the M product linked up, but then it can be more generous than the APG. And I thought, with the Apricots being "min. 320g" earlier, they might have compared the tomatoes (if they were N/A, as indeed they are, then the 25p cost would not be too great). So, they should have bought the "min. 750g" tomatoes in M at £1, as that would have cost them 50p less. Another overpayment therefore, despite being overall cheaper than everywhere!

Morning All


Just back from my first free Weight Watchers meeting and cooking bacon sarnies - No not for me as I was a stone more than I expected!!!


So just a nice cuppa and a read up of all the WW stuff I have been given.


Oh Boy that bacon smells yum! This diet ain't going to an easy ride.


Have a Good One! xx

You can still have bacon. A pack of bacon medallions is £2 for 10 rashers / medallions in Tesco, and it is 2 smartpoints for 4 medallions.

Weight Watchers pasta and spaghetti are currently 60p in Tesco.

That's because the kitchen towel has been £2 something in M all this week and the Persil offer ended in M last Sunday as well.
