    I ended up with an APG of £12.85 :eek:

    I bought a couple of things I needed anyway that compared ok with M, and the rest was 10p sweets, and tiny bits of veg.

    I paid about £12 cash.

    Hope I don't get trouted with it, think I'll buy the xmas chocs to knock the next one down a bit.

    Is Milk tray still the best comparison does anyone know?

    Thanks, trying to work out if it's worth my hassle to re-buy or to just return and live and learn haha. No doubt ill crack at the temptation, and re-buy the dove too. :)

    Here it is - it will develop and appear in full here over the course of tonight:

    Price-locked item
    Not 10% cheaper than:

    ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk 6 Pints (3.41L)£1.48
    T, S, W £1.48
    ASDA British Semi Skimmed Milk 4 Pints (2.27L)£1.00 T, S, W £1.00, M in 3s 3f£3
    ASDA British Whole Milk 4 Pints (2.27L)£1.00
    T, S, W £1.00, M in 3s 3f£3
    ASDA British Whole Milk 6 Pints (3.41L)£1.48
    T, S, W £1.48
    ASDA British Skimmed Milk 4 Pints (2.27L)£1.00
    T, S, W, £1.00, M in 3s 3f£3
    ASDA Butter - Unsalted (250g)£1.00 M, T at £1.00. Not even 10% cheaper than S or W at £1.10 fwiw.
    ASDA Butter - Salted (250g)£1.00 as above. S/P Unsalted Butter cheaper, so do not get misdirected by the store!:rotfl: - and, in turn, S/P version not 10% cheaper:( than S:eek: (of all places!), T or M.
    ASDA Mixed Weight Free Range Eggs (6)97p
    S last week at £1.00. Possibly the worst F/R eggs to buy on an APG shop in any event.
    Kingsmill Medium Sliced 50/50 Bread (800g)79p
    Kingsmill Thick Sliced 50/50 Bread (800g)79p
    Kingsmill Tasty Thick Sliced Wholemeal Bread (800g)79p
    Kingsmill Tasty Medium Sliced Wholemeal Bread (800g)79p The KM breads are 10% cheaper than elsewhere, much to my annoyance:mad: on wombles. Avoid them - as why would you be paying over 50p for a loaf of bread?:huh: Should be buying whoopsied or getting the cheaper S/P bread etc. This KM isn't even 10% cheaper than M's own brand standard range bread at 59p, but it's not comparable to that of course.
    Warburtons Sliced Soft Farmhouse White Bread (800g)£1.00 T £1.00, W £1.10 (fwiw)
    Warburtons Medium Sliced White Bread (800g)£1.00 T, W £1.00, M in 2s- 2f£2
    Warburtons Toastie Thick Sliced White Bread (800g)£1.00 T, W £1.00, M in 2s- 2f£2
    Warburtons Thick Sliced Half & Half Toastie (750g)£1.00 T, W £1.00
    Warburtons Medium Sliced Half & Half Bread (750g)£1.00 T £1.00
    ASDA Ripen at Home Kiwi Fruit (6)75p W's 3 for '2' offer price, even though it won't compare to that anymore as different individual prices in the W offer. (Just let me go through the entire W offer:mad: and see if anything else is comparable to A; if not, it may well compare on the APG to the offer after all.) But, assuming non-compare to the offer, they still aren't 10% cheaper than W even if the offer is one that is excluded under their T&Cs. Also not 10% cheaper than a previous flash offer in M - when M were (expired) on 99p bogo'f'.
    ASDA Tenderheart Cabbage49p
    M 49p
    ASDA Bananas by Weight 68p/kg
    T, M 68p/kg
    ASDA Seedless Red Grapes (500g)£1.50 My guide price of £1 for a pack. Also not 10% cheaper than T's previous offer pricing £1 and, though worse pricing, not 10% cheaper in 2s than M's 2 for £3 offer price.
    ASDA Salad Tomatoes (6)69p
    T, M 69p. (M has been 3 for £1.50 in the past.) Not even 10% cheaper than S's/W's 75p fwiw.
    ASDA Whole Cucumber49p
    T, M 49p. Whoopsied cucumbers at 14p.
    ASDA British Iceberg Lettuce Loose49p
    T, M 49p. T previously 2 for 70p.
    ASDA Mixed Peppers (3)99p
    T, M 99p
    ASDA Green Seedless Grapes (500g)£1.50
    M's price of 99p when it did have a version within weight range, even though it didn't on the APG.
    ASDA Spring Onions49p
    M 49p
    ASDA Standard Pineapple69p Pineapple in Aldi at 59p, even though not covered by the APG. M's 3 for £1.50 on its Pineapple in the past.
    ASDA Broccoli (335g)49p
    T, M 49p
    ASDA Cherry Tomatoes (350g)84p Aldi, even though not within weight range and not covered by the APG. Still not 10% cheaper than M, even though much worse price per kg in M than Aldi, M not within weight range but compared by the APG. (Match and More vs Aldi should result in Aldi N/A:()
    A B.S. Cumberland Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55
    A B.S. Lincolnshire Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55
    A B.S. British Pork Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55 Why buy these sausages anyway? What's wrong with CBY Pork Sausages? They are cheaper, at £1.18, but still not 10% cheaper than M's (now apparently expired) previous mbuy offer pricing 2 f£2, which is my guide price of £1 per pack.
    A B.S. Northern Ireland Beef Mince - 12% Fat (500g)£5.70
    A B.S. Beef Mince - 20% Fat (500g)£1.99
    M in 2s: 2 for £3.50. Not even 10% cheaper than M's expensive same price single purchase price.
    ASDA Boneless Salmon Fillets (2 per pack - 240g)£2.65
    A B.S. British Pork & Apple Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55
    A B.S. Cumberland Sausages (12 per pack - 681g)£2.25
    A B.S. British Pork Sausages (12 per pack - 681g)£2.25 T's £1.75 on the Wall's Thick Pork Sausages (681g). Just goes to show (these Wall's are available in A and compare to T) that even branded versions may sometimes be cheaper (elsewhere, or in A via APG) than 'price-locked' own brands. Although - I wouldn't even go for or compare against the Wall's, as too expensive for me. Based on my price guide (£1, or even 90p net with 10%, for 454g), these should be £1.50. They fall short - and even that is with the 10%. I'd expect £1.35, or less, with 10%. £1.57 and a half pence with 10%, as on the Wall's vs T, is no good for me. More expensive than own brand was previously vs M in 2s.
    A B.S. Pork & Tomato Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55
    A B.S. Hot & Spicy Pork Sausages (8 per pack - 454g)£1.55
    A B.S. Chicken Breast Fillets (4 per pack - 613g) M's version in 2s is 2 for £7.50:eek:, should equate to 2 for about £7.92 on APG due to weight adjustment (but will probably round the penny up to £7.93 if it is keeping working at all). Btw, my guide price on 'fresh' chicken breast fillets is £5/kg. Really expensive given previous brief glitch where we could get these to compare to 50p for M I know. There are often non-comparable chicken fillets packs in M that meet my price guide. Price per kg on these thereby expensive price-locked ones? £7:eek:_pale_.
    A B.S. Reduced Fat Cumberland Sausages (8 per pack - 400g)£1.55
    A B.S. Gluten Free Pork Sausages (8 per pack - 400g)£1.55
    A B.S. Reduced Fat Pork Sausages (8 per pack - 400g)£1.55
    ASDA Chosen by You Breaded Gammon (120g)89p

    In short, almost every one of the 'price lock' items, for me, is either not 10% cheaper than somewhere else, instead often same price and therefore too expensive (should be 10% cheaper) or else too expensive and some cheaper price is available, or has been available, on something elsewhere.

    Did you make sure the £1.00 had been taken before you cancelled, that's the only reason I can think of, or just bad luck? :(

    Apparently a lot of folk have discovered they stop as soon as you cancel nowadays but no matter I ve done It again :)

    If it was me, I would return all the JF (in 2 visits), I'd hate to have 'lost' that much.

    If you try again, just remember its 1 x JF trigger, 2 x JF oils (or whatever you want that is cheaper elsewhere), and at least 8 food/drink fillers.
