    The Princessa bars (in the stores I've checked):
    Milk is actually 36g:( (although SEL said 37g:naughty:). Coconut is actually 36g (although the SEL was 33g - so actually may be [Strike]giving us[/Strike] EDIT: "supplying us*, for a cost" with more than what they say). Hazelnut is actually 37g:), which is the same as what the SELs say.

    *Inviting us to make an offer to them for them to supply us for a cost with should we later happen to use the staffed tills or, in the case of the SS machines, arguably making an offer to supply us with (as per Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking - the "machine cannot refuse" etc.). Sorry - convoluted complete accurate situation.

    :) I am enjoying the Princessa bars (3 for £1 in Ts) as my 'treat'

    Heinz Reduced Salt & Sugar Beanz 4x415g - £1.50 in whichever Ms have it - not making the list as there doesn't seem to be an equivalent in A (maybe it's gone on cheaper reduction there?).

    Good afternoon All. I hope the Elite are well.

    A question about Holiday Extras if I may:

    I am about to book an airport lounge. Have found it cheaper by £1. Is that enough for the "free if" to kick in, and how do I book the cancellation as the pay screen does't show it for me?

    Many thanks for your help.

    Sorry I don't know Mini, it did show it as added for me on the pay screen but that was parking xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Could this be a visible trigger and, with twelve others - some will have to be different - maybe no fillers needed if you have at least eight different ones - be full price vs 50p each (12 for £6) at T?

    I have this one as 40p in M, even though these weights of the Cow & Gates are starting to reappear online at full price and 10 for £5.

    Cow & Gate Succulent Pork Casserole 7mth+ (200g)


    Store_1.15px.png
    70p any 12 for £6.00
    35p / 25p / 100g Valid until 15/12/2016

    • Store_8.15px.png
      78p any 10 for £5.00
    • Store_4.15px.png
      70p
    • Store_5.15px.png
      80p
    • Store_2.15px.png
      77p * any 12 for £6.00
    I wouldn't attempt to mix and match against M - not least because the number doesn't match with A's "12 for..." and some of them (you'll be mixing different Cow & Gates;) and buying 12 in total) might not pick up mbuy - but could - very unlikely - be 40p straight price for M.

    Looks like they are lower weight in T according to online? Indeed, according to there, they are straight 49p each so I am being misled again if they're actually 3 for £1.

    3 for £1?:eek::eek: Should be 33p each in M:rotfl:. For the sake of a penny...:doh:

    Can you check your weights - if they match with mine and if you've been buying at least 10 different items and M overall cheapest etc., may be overpaying (by a penny!) in T if you're paying 3 for £1!

    I had the Breaded Chicken Sticks and the Popcorn Chicken on an offer of £1.50 until 24th July in an M last week, but no Battered Chicken Nuggets. Nonetheless, I put the Battered Nuggets onto the list, without even seeing them:eek:, as I thought (or "knew" really) that they would be somewhere and at £1.50.

    Indeed they are! Indeed M does have these - I think I remembered seeing them in a store several weeks before but when they were then full price. So, I thought M would have them - and, indeed, as confirmed on Saturday, they say £1.50 until 24th July.

    They might pick them up on the APG if that's the same store as the Laila Broken Basmati Rice 5Kg - I have seen that instore now - and the same one that has the KA drinks cans (we saw one of those comparing and even against M's 3 for £1 mbuy a week or two ago). As to the KA drinks cans...
