    I just got an update from FB that The Supermarket Elite thread has changed from a closed group to public? I also see it has 1354 members but isn't being used (it was set up as one of a number of emergency bolt holes from here originally, if I recall?).

    I am not sure why it changed or if that affects anything for anyone?

    hill, have read on hduk that the brandy hot choc bring an extra discount on meal deal at m&s, but there is a rose wine marques de alarcon, think it makes the meal deal £15 for 2, unsure if this is posted here as not put o date. so best post twice then not at all.
    (not totally sure as bought other food but it states 2 for £12 wine discount as £5 off) hth.

    Thanks Durham. Is this the link? http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dine-for-two-plus-free-wine-for-10-m-s-2542875

    Bubbs, where are you?! I can see the £2 extra off for the brandy hot chocs but didn't see the wine bit. :(

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    My two year free phone contract just ended and I've got a Sim from Tesco Mobile for £5 per month.

    But if you download Tesco Xtras App you see one advert whenever you unlock your phone - which you just close - and they give you £3 off your bill every month. So only £2 per month :j:j

    shops from tonight £3.15 APG
    got 4 beer for£5 Moorhouse Pendle witches Brew was blind trigger
    Also missing from APG is Seabrook variety so also a blind trigger as I paid £2 for 2 packs of crisps

    Cheesy Garlic bread Pizza & Texas Grande Pizza also missing from APG fortunately had lots of items, had a taste of the chocolate & mint spread very nice :D

    10 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Morrisons
    2x ASDA Chosen By You Original Scottish Oatcakes (250G) £1.78 N/A
    1x Seabrook Sea Salt & Vinegar (6X25G) £1.40 £1.00
    1x Cadbury Dairy Milk Giant Buttons Chocolate Bag (119G) £1.00 £1.00
    3x Shepherd Neame Spitfire Premium Kentish Ale (500ML) £4.50 £3.00

    Comparison total (compared products only) £10.80 £8.50

    I've just been looking at the seabrooks to try and work out why it's a trigger.
    It's showing the mb on both a's and msm so I created a b/c and scanned with a's and msm app thinking it may be because it's oos but no joy there.
    The only other thing I can think of is that you have a pack with an old b/c or that the mb wasn't showing or was oos yesterday and has changed today.
    This is the b/c that I'm going by;
