    There is an easier way - Poundland do those kits where you put the shelves in a bag with some of the liquid and use the rest on the oven walls. Brought mine up a treat:D
    Oh thanks, I've got one of those in the back of the cupboard that I forgot about!!

    Morries don't have 6 pack Hot Cross Buns do they?:D

    1x ASDA Hot Cross Buns (6PK) £0.75 N/A:D:D
    £1 and 2 for £1.50 in M, but APG has them N/A:j. They are 2 for £1.00 in A, so you would only ever buy two packs as paying 75p for a pack is over the odds! They should have been buy in twos vs T a few weeks ago as T was £1.00 and 2 for 1 - however it seems that would not have worked - not because of different individual prices in the T offer - both of the items in the T offer had the same individual price - but because they are N/A on the APG across the board.

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=254946119

    It might be because T's are described as "White" Hot Cross Buns so the system isn't picking them up:rotfl::rotfl:. Which I rather like:D, given that T is now £1 and a worse mbuy. (In fact that link above is incorrect since it is the Hot Cross Buns at £1 straight whereas the Bakery Hot Cross Buns at T on msm are showing 2 for £1.50 but the other ones (linked to above) are the only ones I can see on my t.com locally. Ignore this bit in brackets as it is an unnecessary complication that is merely here for me to be strictly speaking totally accurate on the matter - but just confuses most people so ignore it!)

    Morries mbuy between the Twirl and Snickers is being picked up. I suppose, although I have several Ms that don't even display the mbuy, that, if you pick six Ms, you are very likely to find at least one that does make you aware of the mbuy.
    Expensive price though - that's how much they work out at (a pack at 50p:eek::eek:) even on the mbuy!

    1x Cadbury Twirl (43G) £0.32 £0.50
    1x Snickers Bar (48G) £0.34 £0.50

    Snickers Bar is straight 50p in Sains, but Twirl Bar is even more expensive - 60p!
    1x Snickers Bar (48G) £0.34 £0.50

    However they got A mbuy as they failed to buy Wine Gums but bought a Lion Bar instead so it appeared on the comp.

    Unfortunately can't get full price vs 40p T comp. as this relies on the T 3 for £1.20 mbuy. However, on this particular shop, this did mitigate the T comp., which gives a voucher:
    1x Cadbury Twirl (43G) £0.32 £0.40
    1x Lion Chocolate Bar (50G) £0.34 £0.40
    1x Snickers Bar (48G) £0.34 £0.40

    In fact, on this shop, I am grateful that they bought the Lion Bar and not Wine Gums, as, if they had bought Wine Gums instead (and nothing extra), this shop would have been a complete failure and given no voucher at all:

    7 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda tesco
    1x ASDA Chosen By You Choco Snaps (600G) £1.88 £1.70
    1x Cadbury Twirl (43G) £0.32 £0.40
    1x Lion Chocolate Bar (50G) £0.34 £0.40
    1x Schar Gluten Free Brown Ciabatta Rolls (200G) £2.00 £2.00
    1x Snickers Bar (48G) £0.34 £0.40
    1x ASDA Chosen by You Cookie Crunch (375G) £1.38 N/A
    1x ASDA Fresh Milk Whole (4PT) £0.89 £1.00
    1x ASDA Frosted Flakes (500G) £1.20 £1.20
    Comparison total (compared products only) £6.97 £7.10
    cheaper +£0.13

    Even though I think they should buy Frosted Flakes 600g in Aldi at 99p rather than buying A's 500g at £1.20 - but each to their own!:D
