Right, I have shutted up now - I'm refraining from posting what I was thinking in respect of something else! - as I don't want me causing trouble!:cool::)

I was actually looking for some Pigs in Blanket sausages:rotfl:. Maybe they will appear on the list soon.

I have now got under one side of paper to go. I think I must have got everything conceivably possible from M this week:eek:! Just how many items does M have?!?:huh::eek::eek::rotfl:

Next question (for me to answer)... is there any A equivalent to M 12 Pigs in Blanket (210g) (fresh) at 2 for £3.50 in M?:think:

Savvybuyer

The answer is yes...

ASDA Butcher's Selection Pigs in Blankets (12 per pack - 222g)



£2.50 any 2 for £4.00
£11.26 / £9.01 / Kg

However, T has a 300g pack at 3 for £5 which works out cheaper by weight than the M price although T is the same number of sausages (and I don't imagine anyone would ever consume a fraction of a sausage).

I've just got to get my fingers and toes out now... to do a weight adjustment price for A v M. This little piggy went to market...:D

EDIT: The party pigs in blanket 12 at 300g in A at £1.50 would work out cheaper (they are frozen though) so, I'm not bothering with Av M on 222g A product at all:rotfl:.

EDIT 2: T's 3 for £5 pack are frozen. I would have thought A's 300g frozen would compare against those, so don't buy them on an Avs T shop. If you don't get three, it should lose and, if you get three, it should be neutral as A is exactly 10% cheaper than T's more expensive mbuy (but then buying unnecessarily maybe). And don't buy in T at all, as it shouldn't match the price of an A own label - and the mbuy price at T is still too expensive when A is £1.50 straight per pack!

:(Unsurprisingly, the M Butter Basted Turkey (800g) (frozen) that I have had on the list, probably nearly the rest of the year, at £3 looks like it is now £5! :eek:This blatant profiteering again in the run-up to Christmas:rotfl::rotfl:.

So, I am going to remove it from the list as obviously the only time not to buy turkey is this time of year!:rotfl: I am sure I will be happy to consider putting it back onto the list in the New Year:rotfl::rotfl:.

EDIT: Msm, about the £5 price, says this is "Same as average". Really? Well, probably same as average during the time it has been online but it disappeared from online during the period after last Christmas when it went onto £3 RTC, probably. So I think msm won't be taking into account its best price. I also can't imagine that the Three Bird Roast (1.5Kg), if that is around in M anywhere, is still £5, particularly given that T and S are £10* and A, on 1.6Kg, is £9. (I am meeting myself coming back on some of these RTC, or former RTC(?), items now:rotfl:.) Therefore I have deleted this item too.

*S is 1.4Kg - I knew there would be a reason why it was same price as T!:D

Savvybuyer

The list is now updated, though I have still to go through (later) and delete some items that I haven't seen for so long and think are now all but gone from M. It would be easy enough to go through the list and delete them straight off - however, as I will be moving most of them to the "lost list", in case any of my deletion later turns out to be wrong, so that I don't lose their details completely, it is a longer process.

The list should be good now - you now know nearly as much as I do about M - as usual there is no guarantee that any of it will work. Can everyone look to see if they can find any mistakes and let me know?:rotfl::rotfl: (You may find A prices that have changed - I was not talking about those - but if you do see any that have changed, do let me know - TIA:cool:.)

I will leave it for someone to say how many new entries (bold) items there are this time - is this the highest number I have ever had? I have no time to spend to check any of that - I have far better things to do - but I wouldn't be surprised if it was!

See you later - bye for now!:wave:
