    A v T

    1x Oreo Original Biscuits 10 Snack Packs (220g) £1.88 £1.00
    1x Costa for Cafetiere & Filter Ground Coffee (250g) £5.29 £4.99
    10x Duvel Belgian Strong Golden Ale (330ml) £20.00 £17.75

    Are the Oreos picking up £1 M price?

    I still think these are too expensive:rotfl:. 154g packs of Oreo biscuits are currently on 3 for £1 so would give much more than 220g - I think it was in Heron Foods, could have been Home Bargains, I forget which now.

    SELS are not showing the offer in stores here savvy....it's just muggles still buying in 3s I think:rotfl:

    It's worked wonders for A (although not so good when they have to refund some of it to us via the APG - although, even there, as on your receipt, it's not a full three times appearance of £1 for the competitor that matters on the overall shop so still often not working out as cheap as 3 for £3 let alone even 10% off 3 for £3). People are still buying three and now paying full prices on them all:rotfl: - for instance, mine the other day paid two times £1.65 plus a £1.50, so a total of £4.80:eek: instead of £3:rotfl::rotfl:! Some of the individual prices have increased as well - for example the Oven Baked Fusions are now £1.80.
