    Hang on, you never mentioned other items that you have been price-checking on!! You MSE you. :money:

    The Chardonnay is showing as Out of Stock on Mysupermarket, but presumably as this is in store too, then the price-match still applies.

    From what that site tells me, I presume you got this

    Bombay, £24.47 - £17.00 = £7.47 x2 = £14.94
    Banrock, £10.49 - £5.00 = £5.49 x2 = £10.98
    Airwick, £6.13 - £3.00 = £3.13 x2 = £6.26

    So actually, it'd be better to buy 5 bottles of Banrock (in case there's a discount for 6 or whatever) and you'd get them free (plus some).

    The Bombay is the worst of the 3 items you bought, as you do actually end up paying £9.53 for it, the other 2 are essentially free!!! :j:beer::money:

    That's not how it works, you have to buy from Tesco and 'claim' your price-check back.

    Buying from Asda costs you £7.47 more.

    NB I wonder if there ought to be a thread for things that Asda sell that can be DTD'd by this promise, and hence ought to be bought to get free vouchers from tesco.

    I've spotted 2 others (from trawling for Asda offers on HUKD and here);

    Kellogg's Cornflakes 500g, £1.98 at tesco, £1.00 at Asda giving £1.96 in vouchers, making them 2p

    Mars bars 5x full size, £1.73 Tesco (if you buy 2 it's £1.50 each), £1 Asda making either £1.46 or £1.00 voucher depending on how many you buy.

    I intend to go to Asda later and make sure these prices are accurate, then pop to Tesco near my home and see what I can find. Thankfully neither journey is out of my way and can be combined with other journeys (who can afford petrol these days).

    well, checking just mysupermarket and asda website isn't enough! you have to make sure the items are comparable through tesco's price checker otherwise you won't get your voucher :P
    you'll be better off with kellogs honey loops and multigrain start then corn flakes if you like those... there are also other items that are good deal, posted some on other thread in food shopping section :P this is just the bombay saphire you MSE you :P

    I know that, but it's highly unlikely my Tesco has the bigger bottles in as it doesn't normally and I was in Asda.
