That will work perfectly with sultanas or currants or raisins. I can't remember which you said you had. I'll be honest I got distracted and started to make an apple crumble instead

It's all your fault

Yes they are - the Vegetable Oil is comparing (as it should unfortunately) against M at £4, so don't put on M comp., and the Sunflower Oil should do the same. I don't know about Pomace Oil - it's only 3L:rotfl:. M "probably" do have it - I seem to have a vague recollection that they might - and is probably much more expensive. The last I had (two days ago) was that the Vegetable Oil (I had it on a womble) was returning N/A against S - although S is £6:eek: it was showing OOS (msm is still showing that now, so it's probably N/A against S on the APG, not that I would advise it - probably vs T or W N/A). Sunflower Oil should be vs £4 for S:(. I used to have the Vegetable and Sunflower Oils regularly on the M list with M at £4:rotfl:. A has gone a little lower than 10% off that price, so it has been moved off the list more recently when A were noticed as going to £3.50 - I think they went up to high price again and have come back down to £3.50 in the past week.

I don't trust the price graphs - not that they matter anyway as A is £3.50 once again - they show A as going down to £3.50 and not being at that price about a month ago, but it was. The graphs therefore suggest that A is now the cheapest it has been in the last twelve months (which is true) but also that A has never been as low as that price before recently, which is not true.

I notice, separately, that Twix 7 pack is now £1.50 for S but were people getting this before vs a cheaper price (maybe £1.39?) against T? The price graph, with T on full price £2.50 at the moment, shows T only as going to and from £2 and never lower but I'm 'sure' they have been lower on one offer not long ago? Were they lower than S's current price anyone as the price graph is not helping - I think it is incorrect? TIA. (I don't know what "Average price in UK..." means as the graph changes depending on which supermarket you are in on the site, so suggests they are plotting that supermarket's prices. However the graphs in general don't seem to do that and, after the cheapest offer has ended, they seem to reset later to show higher prices than what the product has really gone down when the product later goes down again but not as low as it did before. They show prices going down to their lowest now when in fact they haven't come back down to what they were before, went to somewhat lower before and did so well within the last 12 months. It's a good job Savvy has some recollection of previous prices:rotfl:.)

Well I blew 15% of the remaining budget on a sandwich but it was worth it and I was at work and starving...

Never mind. Be interesting to see how long the remaining £s will last, I may yet surprise myself.

Best thing about Frocking for me has been the using up of odds and ends out of the freezer - nice to clear it a bit before Xmas, I'd have to do that anyway and it's better than binning it.

Also realised I rarely, if ever, do a 'freezer shop' - when you live alone it automatically fills by buying normal sized items just to eat one portion, and freezing the remainder.

Have also discovered several things I shan't buy again - Homestyle Wedges, for one, and Young's breaded fish (pollock) for another. No wonder they have lurked in there for so long...:eek:
