    Well, hello!:)
    And welcome to the forums Citation X. I'll make a note to look for the price in Morries on these: hopefully I'll remember amongst everything else I'll be looking at:rotfl:. So - enough time, hopefully, between now and 30 June to find out who really is the cheapest to compare against.

    Coming up... I'll post some latest lists (trying for AvS, T and W, T and Svs A, and T and S versus each other:rotfl:- I'm going to be busy!) - I've thought there's always a price-changeover round the corner - with T changes due after tomorrow night, meaning some of Avs T be out of date too soon but if that's true I'd never get to posting the list at all. So, what I think I'll do is post Avs T but leave out some offers that have today or tomorrow's date as the expiry and then - hopefully!:D - I can add more items onto the list after the changeover as more go on offer. Can't promise on that last thing though as stuck on the Morries list mid-week, which I know helps lots of you.

    In a moment, a new list (or two) - I'm starting with the easier one (in theory anyway:mad:), the Avs W (as W notoriously more expensive than A on quite a lot surely??:think:) and - I've also got a 'buy in W' prepared (items seeming cheapest at W and not available for 10% off via A), with more items (just about) than the rather short one last time (I think I found about a grand total of 3 items last time).

    Finally, for this post at least, I've noticed a very subtle change on the APG T&Cs. However, as this isn't T, the change isn't always one that makes us worse off than before. The APG site says that the prices for Morries (which are usually collected on Mondays and Wednesdays) are now updated on Wednesday and Friday. It said Tuesday and Thursday last time I looked! Wonder if this means last week's price collection (from last Wednesday) continues through to, and including, tomorrow. I've no idea why the extra day for the system to be updated. Perhaps they are trying to get the Morries prices more accurate - which may help us if it reduces the number of items that return N/A. May be some other reason else though. But just to let you know:).

    Avs W

    This starts off with one I'll highlight. Sometimes, the standard range item is cheaper than the S/P one. Here, it's the standard level Ice Cream - W now cheaper on the comparable version that anyone else is (I believe) on the 2L Smartprice version. There's another example, which may also appear in some different lists elsewhere later - T's Finest Sweetcorn in Water (380g), according to MSM is 30p until 2/7. This works out cheaper than the A S/P sweetcorn on Avs T or M. So - there we have it - sometimes "Finest" is cheaper than "value".

    Here is Avs W (some of the items below, which are fillers N/A for W, are also available (equivalents) on Tvs A. So - you might leave a few of these off at the moment, if you are trying to find 10 items for your Tvs A later (you can find the details on msm.co.uk, and then confirm A's price on a.com,... but, I have them all - or will - in my Tvs A saved listing so they'll be on Tvs A when/if I get to that posted later).

    Just spent a happy 15 minutes earning points on this website.. Seemed to be able to do several of the quizzes a few times.....doesn't matter if you get the answers wrong you still get the points.
    Earned 290 points and ordered 3 x £5 off £25 spends at M&S and a couple of £1 off PG tips. Vouchers are posted out so scanning won't be a problem.

    Hoping the M&S vouchers can be used on 2 x meal deals before discounts ie 2 meal deals for £15:):j
