    I did get one of my two boxes but nothing to shout home about, probably the worst box I have ever had only totalling about £67 full price. But it is all drinkable. Most bottles were usually only £4/£5 anyway. :(

    They are probably scraping the bottom of the barrel not the bang I had hoped the mysterys might go out on. Hope others have better cases than mine...
    Same here, they could have lost mine if they wanted to.

    I've got a £5 off £35 but that would require parting with £10 cash :eek:

    I can't see you parting with cash on this one. :rotfl:

    I don't think there is a decent meal deal around either haven't they dropped the wine or something. :(

    Heinz Fruity Peach Yogurt (2x100g) and Heinz Apple & Banana (2x100g) gone unavailable on a.com, but two others 3 for £1. If the fruity peach yogurt/apple & banana are still available, either one or the other (don't use both in the same shop!) may be an invisible trigger to 3 for £1. Then 50p on 2x Apple Banana & Apricot vs 50p M. Could work out at 3 for 90p, a saving of about 3 pence per pot:(. I always go very small, but a possible glitch nonetheless. Could be a filler on a vs M shop if you already use them.


    EDIT: Unfortunately only one of the two in stock on a.com should be comparable against M. Other one is one they don't stock. Therefore only one filler:(, but turns out two potential invisibles rather than one, having to duplicate apple/banana/apricot, do *not* get caught on plain banana.
    (The one comparable says £1.49 M online. It has long been saying this: this has been checked instore in M before and found to be 50p.)
