Now I have my nutri bullet I thought I'd try to emulate the milky bar crushems I buy now and again for £2 each in KFC . I must say its not a bad comparison. Theirs is colder and a bit tastier but mine is acceptable .

I ve been watching what they do as much as I can. I used semi skimmed milk some condensed milk in a tube some white chocolate drops and a bit of ice cream and whizz it all together

Could you add ice to make em colder ? xx

So-called "Smart" price chicken and curry noodles (65g:() will not be getting to the list - Morries equivalents of each are 20p - and whilst Avs M or T should get back to 18p (msm saying A was 19p and went up) - I think these have gone up all round from 18p to 20p. Obviously buying them at 19p straight would be worse than Avs M or T comp. though (as long as you're already buying 7 other different appearing items), even against increased(?) 20p competitor prices compared to a number of years ago. But now, and with them being just 65p, the 85g vs Sains at 15p appears to be a lot better (if that works - a.com doesn't say anything about "Barbecue" or "BBQ"?).

I switched to lidls as they are 18p for 105g and an assortment of flavours. I really like the curry ones. Hth xx

In T's, 3 for a quid :T, or 50p each. 200g I think its a bargain, good for chucking a few in the nutribullet - emerald

I think that's why some products got removed from the M list when I did those Lidl lists and discovered they were cheaper there:rotfl:.

Am I missing the point about the Pink Lady apples or have I got some different ones? The ones I got were some small kids-size apples - are they the ones referred to? If they are the right ones, it turned out that a pack of 10 was £1 anyway - so no need to buy two packs - the price seems to be £1 or any 2 for £2 so no saving. The £1 price labelling actually gave a different number of apples so there didn't appear to be a SEL for the individual price for the 10 pack even though the packs were marked "Any 2 for £2". I took a couple to the till, along with another item I was already buying, and asked what the individual price was. It was £1.

I bought both packs anyway as we'll use them and the £1 offer (or the '2 for £2') could end at any time. However I notice that either my receipt has taken £1 off the price of 2 or the SA cancelled one of the packs - is the till taking off the full price for one when two are scanned - is that the glitch? Therefore, two packs (=20 apples) for £1?

Unfortunately, if it was a glitch or if instead the SA took the price of one pack off in error, I think I still paid the full amount and didn't get the extra £1 back in change:o. I think I gave over a penny over the correct total amount, with the other item, as I was expecting to pay 2 for £2 for the apples and I don't recall getting more change back than expected - although tbh I just put it into my pocket and left. I noticed when I'd got home that the receipt bill was actually £1 lower than expected - but I reckon both me and the SA were expecting me to pay £1 more and that amount was taken. So, if there's a glitch, I probably ruined it (can't remember/don't know if I got more change than expected or not as it was all in the haze) and paid the full price in error because, as I understand it from here, the price is £2 for 20 and nobody's been telling me it should be £1. I think the SA simply cancelled my second pack after also scanning it initially - I don't think there's a glitch - but are two packs (of 10 small apples) going through at a total of £1?

If they're the same apples and if there's no glitch on the pricing, then there's no need to buy 20 at all - 10 for a total of £1 can be bought instead (so I don't know why people are under the impression that you need to buy 20 apples for £2). I don't know why people are buying more than necessary and paying for that. They are £1 and 2 for £2 (no saving!), although one was taken off from my receipt in error although I think I still paid for the two packs I got:o:o.

If we really should be paying £1 for 20 apples, then please can people tell me this expressly and say to me they are £1?!! That's better than posting that 20 are £2 and misleading me into paying that:rotfl:. So, correct information in future please:p:rotfl::rotfl:.

EDIT: I notice hotukdeals page says that they are kids apples. So it appears the individual price has gone down from £1.50 to £1. Or maybe this is store-specific or the individual price has since gone back up again (I bought them about 2 days ago). Iceland's website today says £1.50 for the individual price for Pink Lady Apples min. 8 which appear may be a pack of 10 (BC 6 009689 030685).

As £1 was taken off my receipt, the mbuy discount could still have been being applied even though the price had gone down - and therefore there would be a glitch!:j - however I don't know what a mbuy discount on Iceland receipts looks like. It doesn't say mbuy discount or anything like that on my receipt. It looks like one pack was cancelled - therefore no glitch:(. However, the deduction of £1 does match the 50p extra for each pack at previous £1.50 price.

Sorry Savvy , I can't say. Just ripped the link off hukd and thought it was a good price
