    Do not try to distract the womble kid:D. I can see a pattern, like a word in that picture, looks like it ends is "mas" or 'nas' - definitely a letter 's' beforehand too - some hazy word is within that picture!:rotfl: There's an 'r' near the middle and an 'a'.

    :rotfl: It turns out some of the receipts have been mixed in from earlier, including ones whose 3 hours wasn't up when I went back out!!

    Entered one of those now - another goodie!!:D I am having a run of luck:T.

    This looks 'interesting' - shop was done at about 7.10pm last night (14/5).

    Vs T

    CBY Fig Rolls (200g) *are* picking up M's 'offer' price of 41p.
    Also they do still have the equiv. to SP Ice Cream 2L in M - comparing vs there at 89p, as well as same vs T.

    Look at vs Sains. again:(:( -
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Soft Scoop Vanilla Ice Cream (2L)£0.89£1.00:naughty:

    If you don't believe there is any real difference between various shop's own brands, and let's face it, aren't they all made in the same factories:question:, then Mr S certainly will see you spending more money for much the same. It may well backfire on Mr S if more people became aware of this and if they thought they weren't getting a good deal from them as opposed to the cheaper prices available on own brands at other stores.

    Also vs S

    I am having a run of luck!!:D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Just got someone who bought two bottles of shampoo at nearly £10 total that is £5 elsewhere:j:j:j:T.

    Another near £5 off my next nearly £5 shop:rotfl:.

    I do like it when they buy items that are cheaper elsewhere:D - I thought that was the idea wasn't it?!?:rotfl: Again, no glitch on those prices though, so nothing on the shop worth posting.

    Must be something in the water:rotfl::rotfl: - people have obviously gone silly beggars last night!:D These are largely coming from my store about a mile or two away from the one where I shopped. Well it was worth the short trip there and back, even if I didn't buy anything from there this time.:D

    There was a bit of a glitch on Benecol yogs. last night as well (Wednes. 14 May at around 7.30pm) as this vs Waities has helped me quite a bit:

    5 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Waitrose

    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£0.19

    Comparison total (compared products only)£12.68£12.87:rotfl:

    Showing 2 for £6 on receipt (maybe something to do with price changeover and not working today?:think::question:). N.I. - assuming you can get 2 for £6 instore your best is vs Sains at £3.00 each (Sains. requires mbuy). As well I might laugh at the comparison result!:rotfl::D

    Now why can't I ever manage to get a glitch on my own shopping on the Benecols and time it in with an MOC off them?:think::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now...

    :(:(Didn't work - suspect I entered the receipt too early and didn't wait till updating at 6am! But, am I 'bovvered' with my £5 shop result when I had wombles of more than £5 back?!? Was going to say I was 'crackers' putting those there as spending more than the glitch if it had worked. And an unnecessary Strawberry Flavour Refresher Bar, that has never seen a Strawberry in its life, too. Spending another 10p just to get 8 items. Oh well - I got something out of that as I did like it!

    GetVoucher.jpg

    Why £0.24?:(

    7 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Sainsbury's

    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£0.30
    1 x ASDA Cream Crackers (300g)£0.40£0.40
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Angel Cake£0.75£1.00
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Strawberry Flavoured Milk (1L)£1.00£1.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Sparkling Water (2L)£0.17£0.17
    1 x Swizzels Matlow Strawberry Refresher Bar£0.10N/A
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Lemon Slice (6)£0.75£1.00
    1 x ASDA Radish (200g)£0.50£0.30
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Wafer Thin Cooked Ham (400g)£1.50£1.50
    Comparison total (compared products only)£5.07£5.37

    Of course I should have got the SP Strawberry whip and just mixed that into ordinary milk instead of getting the expensive flavoured milk! 90p per litre!:eek: There my intuition stops however:( and I took the 'easy', AKA expensive, way out. Not that I'm bothered at all with this failed shop - there you are, I'll say 'pass' in response to the potential tin of SP Soup this time:rotfl: and leave the 'get the voucher' button up for you to click to wherever it leads (for you!)!:D

    Right - 2am. Late/early enough!!

    (My clock seems to have got onto a reset mode every day at this time, as it's on the running around again! Maybe the battery is going low and it's catching up each day?!?)

    In summary, from the wombles checked today:

    Benecol glitch on mix and match yesterday evening.
    And SP Unsmoked Back Bacon (500g) comparing £2.72 vs 81p(!) for T as at around the same time.
    (NB: It does *not* compare to 81p vs Morries. Otherwise, if it did, I would have said that wouldn't I?:D The benefits of an online computer scan vs T and the downsides, on this occasion if you look at it that way, of instore price collection for M being done right.)

    All good - roughly back to where I should have been after my own failed cakes shop and after that SA's momentary action cost me that cereal glitch earlier. Except that if they had scanned the items properly, I would now have been better off by somewhat more!!

    Goodbye!! See you soon!:D:wave::wave:
