    That said, the 375g Cheerios at (or vs.:D) £1 are better than the 600g when they go onto £2. I don't think the 375g, certainly, go any lower than that. They're just expensive little beggars that should be avoided at any times at all costs:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Do 600g go to £1.34 or £1.57 and is that the guide we should look for on that? (M's price on the 375g works out at £1.60 per 600g so it's a better price than the bog-standard expensive £2 for 600g 'offers'.) Yet again, the smaller expensive (in A) packs of cereal hopefully work out cheaper than A's offer on a larger pack version.

    50p back on Shopit for Cheerios (both pack sizes) before midnight. Does anyone know if they are on the Apg yet please?

    We had bubble and squeak, bacon sausage and beans :D:D

    We've just had the worst steak I've ever had. I knew as soon as I opened the pack as it felt all knotty if you know what I mean. It was oiled and seasoned and put in a red hot pan for 2 minutes each side and rested afterwards.

    We couldn't even cut through it with the brand new steak knives:o

    After investigations, I found one piece had a thick ligament running through it. Goodness knows what cut it actually was:o

    Might go on their FB to complain.....well it's a nice opportunity to have a chat with aau:rotfl:

    Just been on the phone to asda customer services. They refused me a £2 gift voucher when they charged me the wrong price. I had to mention it and the dokey girl said to one of the others do we give out a voucher for this and the superviser who I've had a run in before said No blah blah blah.

    I didn t want to argue the toss with 3 against one so I said Its ok I ll phone up and walked away. Nice chap is going to send me a £5 voucher :) and tell them .

    :beer::D:T:T:j Thank you for this - this makes a big difference! So, thank you indeed to bubbs for posting about them, as none of this would have been mentioned if that hadn't happened.:):T

    As for whether they have the current M price on the APG, are we on Monday yet? I think, by this time of the week, we normally are. I think I'd give it an 80% chance of being so. Depends if they have picked up the £1 price from M on Monday as well though. It's price has fallen dramatically in M, which can sometimes cause a delay:(. However, I urged caution over a previous cereal pack months ago (I think it was honey shredded wheat, totally irrelevant now) but there was no need for my caution as it worked from the outset!

    Does anyone have any womble (shop done today) that has new M prices showing we are on Monday? (You can have a look to see if any of the prices for items in bold on my list are on the womble - or, indeed, if different higher prices:( are on the comp. for M instead which may indicate we are still on last week - as these bold items should only just have gone on in M. Much of the list is now updated but I am still going with a few more items - notably Bernard Matthews frozen items, frozen Quorn 300g pieces and Young's Gastro fish and I think that's more or less about it. McCain's Spiced Wedges too. I'm in the freezer aisle at the end. And Tornado energy drink. I may as well just put them onto the list:rotfl:.) I may give a further hour or so before shopping if I were you just to try to ensure the 'evening update' has been done - it's normally by about this time of night - but maybe give it another hour in the hope it increases the chance of it doing so if it has not already done. (That said, it could be late and only come tomorrow:(.)

    Make sure you get the 375g pack:rotfl:.

    Or the crossed out items on the list (don't buy those if you're hoping for new M prices!) - if anyone sees them no longer picking up their offer prices for M (due to the offer having expired in M no doubt:rotfl:)...
