    Any one know what the deal of the week is at Iceland, thanks

    Packs of mince for £1, according to my local, but 23% fat so not sure how good quality it would actually be...

    Offer
    Sainsbury's
    £2.50
    ASDA
    £2.73
    Hi , this is reduced to £1.36 in tesco, does it mean that if you buy it from asda with your 9 other things that it would be virtually free, also the wholegrain box is is half price too. Soz bit of a lurker and be kind if I have got it completely wrong.

    Not unless it's also on an offer that's not being picked up in A.

    Generally if something is on offer in T then buying it in A will mean you get it 10% cheaper (1.22) but of course that depends on A actually picking the price up, plus you would have to buy fillers.

    I hope that makes sense, it does in my head but things don't always translate well from my head to other people :o:rotfl:

    I think it changed on Tuesday so the cheese is now finished.

    Ah thanks I did wonder if it might have changed. I don't usually shop there was just passing a store Monday when I picked up my John frieda. :)

    Might be old news but T's have the tubs of sweets - celebrations etc on offer at 2 for £7. Not sure if we know if they are comparing on an A's apg shop.

    No more serums left there must have been some this morning as 2 SELs for 30p.

    Thought maybe another Elite may have got them but don't think they would have left the 9 dove sets behind. ;)

    I think the best deal we had from them was the moc off tea bags and they were on offer so it worked out very cheap. I like the vouchers too.:)
