Look at how these have gone up! From about 12p each two when they were £2.28 & 2 for £3, to 90p now:eek::eek:.

Actimel Kids Drink - Strawberry (6x100g)



[Strike]£2.27[/Strike] £1.00 16.7p / 100g Valid until 28/02/2016

£1.00


Most people will pay £1:eek: - as they will either see £1 r'back and think the price is good:wall: and not check the APG or, if they do, will still likely pay £1 as they will mix up their shop and Morries won't work out best comp. or they will easily lose the small 10p 10% due to buying other items that are more expensive at M. Especially if they pick up a few more £1 r'backs that aren't Go Ahead! slices or otherwise on offer at M. These Actimels were definitely much cheaper when they were higher priced before. Perhaps I ought to go and flog some of my Actimels outside A to people for £1 as they are obviously willing to pay that for them:money::rotfl:.

They do - but I think they are much cheaper in Aldi/Lidl. I don't quite know why people are buying the Chillis in A either as M's price on pack size outside of weight was somewhat better. And 6 pack Limes at Aldi at 59p work out better than the loose limes vs M. Your wombled person paid more for just 2 limes at A:rotfl::rotfl:!

Good on a womble though (and the spices!). I think you may have been had on the Mentos mints there:( as they are 2 for £1 in M. Even though they seem a bit more rare in M in the last few weeks (they were 'everywhere' before then, regularly near the SS in all of my regular stores) - and I have got them in only 2 out of the 7 stores I've checked in the last week. M do have plenty of them in stock in the stores where I've seen them and at 2 for £1 (a price increase unfortunately from previous long-time price of straight 43p). Thankfully the price collectors were not in the other M earlier where they had no stock but showed straight 62p and no mbuy on the SEL (could have gone the other way, even more against ourselves, had that been the only store in which they found evidence of them*).

They also have loose ginger - although that's quite more expensive:rotfl:.

Those mussels I was considering earlier - they don't compare against T as T are outside weight (£1 there although for a bit smaller pack) and the ones in M (175g at £1.30) are "Big Prawn Co. Cooked Chilean Mussels" so are not own label comparable - and I ruled them out anyway as too expensive for that low weight:rotfl:.

*Or maybe they were in that store but they've been OOS for the price collectors for too long?:think: Hey, APG has come to my local store:j:T. But I doubt it. I think it's more likely they had six stores none of them with Mentos mints anymore:( - or at least not the original version, though, for me, Mentos Fruits seem even more rare in M now. Not rare in the stores they are in - but in far fewer stores it now seems for me - seen them in just one M recently.

:think:Another C&C where the pizza apparently wasn't bought at all because online seems to be adding the pizza 'free'. However, it doesn't lose too much as it's merely not 10% cheaper than M on straight prices.

:(A putting the price down of the Peppers (and thus cutting the APG compared to if the shopper would still have bought them at 99p). Tbh, though, let you into a secret - if this was me, I wouldn't even compare them very recently vs M at all:eek: - the ones in A are one red, one green and one yellow whereas M's are now two reds and a green (or something like that) - so, under my strict approach, they ought to be non-comparable!:rotfl: M's not mixed enough for Savvy's liking:D - but that doesn't matter as that's irrelevant anyway:):cool:. Still on my list - initially with hesitation as I saw this difference between them but noticed the APG does compare them so they are on my list - but :(I need to put A's price down now. Hardly worth buying them anymore:rotfl:.

Sorry I have been busy organising prizes for the raffle etc a tad concerned about sunshine mummy not being able to donate. Will look into that in the morning. Dare I ask what kind of fizz I missed?
