    did they ALL compare to waitrose

    Sorry got that wrong, it is saying A's £1.07 which is correct comparing to w's at £1.10, and all four soup were comparing which it shouldn't, should be comparing to £3. ???

    But what about M? (Apologies if someone did answer me, on a previous day, as I have only caught up with today.)



    Super Yummies Tomato & Herb Breadsticks £1.00 for M, due to go to £1.67 next time?



    It's possible I am confused as well and I may be misunderstanding you - do you mean £1.07 for A or £1.07 for W?

    If it is £1.07 for A:
    It will be £1.07 each if you bought 4 in A, hoping to compare against W 4 for £3, as A's offer is 5 for £3 therefore buying only 4 will be A full price. However, I hope you bought a Heinz L&B soup with them and actually paid 5 for £3 but had A full price £1.07 (should be vs W 75p each on W's mbuy pricing)?

    If it is £1.07 for W:
    Has one (or more) of the Baxters soups you bought come back N/A vs W, thus causing any that compare to compare to W at full price? You may have bought a flavour that W doesn't have - if that happens, you'll miss the W mbuy and pick up W full price:(. However, I am confused because the W full price on w.com is £1.10 not £1.07?

    The Baxter's soups should 'soon' (in other words wait absolutely ages before shopping in order to have the M prices updated - expect Friday night, could be as late as Saturday - do not shop before then, unless we find out we are on Wednesday's price collection data) be vs M, on any that M has - M straight 75p:). They cannot go with C&B Best of British soups as M stuck on 4 for £3 mbuy on those it seems - so, as you are only allowed four items per shop in order to avoid 5 for £3 A, plus the trigger, it would have to be sticking to C&B Best of British to get 75p M on those (M mbuy) - however T is now better price, on a 3 for... mbuy but nowt else much to go with them as your fourth item.

    The Baxter's soups (wait for prices to update before shopping, and it will not happen today) may be able to go with Heinz Five Beanz as M straight 75p Baxter's and straight 60p Five Beanz. Could help those with an odd number of Baxter's coupons - for example 3 Baxter's and one Heinz Five Beanz (plus the Heinz L&B trigger) should work, as long as the Baxter's are comparable, vs M once the prices get updated later on.

    Silver Spoon Granulated Sugar 2Kg has been a 'good' comparison for a long time - £1.26 vs 88p M. Expect 88p to change to £1 when the update happens.

    Walker's 6 pack crisps (standard and baked and lights, and also oven baked fusions for anyone buying in T:huh::rotfl:) are all off in M, as are Snack-A-Jacks and Kettle Bites. However, Kettle Chips 5x30g appear to have rolled over, as do Tuc Crackers, Jacob's Cheddar and Cheddar bacon Cheese Biscuits.
    Sorry savy my mistake. Yes A's are £1.07 which they should be but w's showing £1.10, all four compairing so should show £3 at w's not £4.40. ?? They are still 4 for £3 on w's website.

    Have you got any covent garden soup coupons left sunshinemummy?

    £2.10 each, 2 for £3.00. Six or seven of the flavours are on My Picks.

    4 x soups = £8.40 towards conditional spend

    4 x soups on my picks = 32p in money

    .

    Sadly no x
