Tesco/Asda Pricechecker finds here (Thread 2)

Anon

Forgot to mention, the age old promo con that is Pringles is £1.99/2 for £3.50 in Tesco on various flavours, but £1 on a limited number of flavours in Asda (Texas BBQ - yum!). Not bought on DTD but you would hope this would be a clear match?

Colgate MaxFresh with mouthwash beads (Tingling Mint) - Testco £2.40. Asdo £1.00

For 100ml it's £2.40 vs £1.50 - which is cheaper than a couple of days ago ISTR.

The CC points make it (60p + 50 points) which is pretty good :cool:

tesco had no intentions of pulling the promotion when the amount DTD'ing like we are was very little, soon it will spiral out of control, when there are 50 people at all times veiwing the spreadsheet already. I don't see 50 people posting new/confirmed deals on here at all times, yet I do see the shelves are emptying of DTD. Sorry if this sounds greedy, but those of us who have been on here from the start have put money, time, effort into helping others. Taking risks buying un confirmed deals, winning some and losing some. Sorry if it hacks me off that 1000's of people a day are now getting it handed to them on a plate, resulting in empty shelves!

To be honest this debate is getting us no where, the spreadsheet is there, lets just get on with it... humph... *sulks*

oh god im nagging again. Really do apologise, just feeling hard done by that I couldnt get any tetleys yesterday lol

I am going to have to seriously re-think how I shop in future.

I have taken advantage of the DTD situation two or three times although each time, I have rewarded myself by spending the voucher on goodies rather than another DTD - probably this is not as profitable as buying more DTD and having a garage of Betty Crockers and Lurpak butters.

I agree with the earlier poster who feels that the majority of shoppers do not check prices - but even when this is all over, I am going to be much more careful and check items on the Asda site too before buying. Clearly, I have been buying carelessly from Tesco for years.

Many thanks to the posters who have opened up their shopping baskets to us all on this site and for sharing their experiences and successes.

thats it now, my spreadsheet nagging is over. sorry everyone. tis good that everyone is screwing over t's, i will just think about that haha

Just wanted to add my view on the whole spreadsheet thing. I have been using it aswell as the thread in general. Find both very helpful and thanks to all who find time to post and update the thread.
I do my shops in an average size store and in an Extra in the next town. I have been DTD for about 10 days now ( was a late starter as I did not follow the thread straight away. So far I have not seen any other DTD Vouchers being handed in and not seen any other DTD'ers. In my home store they have never signed any of my receipts and nobody queried them or batted an eyelid at them. In the larger store they have signed them but again no problem using them. Got my Mum and both sisters doing it and they all had flowers from me today ( as neither of them have any children so I thought they should not miss out) bought using a voucher and my brother and family had a bag of groceries ( they are having a hard time financially ) including rack of lamb, vanish, twinings, lurpak, baby bel, lynx, Princes Tuna and a jar of pickled shallots bought for 20p a few weeks ago.
We had Mr T's roasties aswell as rack of lamb for 8 of us.
Now it seems to me we are all getting a bit paranoid about the fact that Tesco might see the thread or spreadsheet however I think Mr T knows exactly what he is doing and we are just a few people getting a bargain when the majority are just paying the high prices.
Happy shopping all and long may it continue.

don't know for sure but as far as i can see on the asda site its only the beautiful ends one that is reduced now

Just checked now and the following are still £1.50:

Herbal Essences 2 in 1 Dazzling Shine
Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends shampoo
Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends conditioner
Herbal Essences Uplifting Volume shampoo
Herbal Essences Uplifting Volume conditioner
Herbal Essences Fresh Balance conditioner
Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour conditioner

The top 5 I bought yesterday. Was worried there for a second because when I checked in the morning, the ones above were still £1.50 and when I read your post, I thought 'they can't change their prices a couple of hours later can they?' lol. Hope they stay the same tomorrow.

Went this afternoon, grabbed a lot of stuff but then had to put most of it back! Could have split it in two but was with a friend who's a bit of a PITA

One of the things I put back was:
FOX'S CHUNKIE COOKIE FRUIT & NUT 200G
which is a shame, it's going up tomorrow

I can't find Fox's Chocolaty vanilla shortcake either on tesco's site or mysupermarket

I've added a % value column, except its the net price / asda price.
Point being, if it wasn't cheaper with MrT you'd buy it in Asda not Tesco, so those are the two to compare.

While that's true, it's not as helpful as what I was advocating. My way you'd know how good a deal was. For example, you look at the net price and see that it's 25p. You think "wow! That looks low" but then look at the original price and see the item was only 45p to begin with. A percentage column lets you see how much of a discount you're getting. Comparing with ASDA is no good since we're not deciding whether to buy it in ASDA, we already know we're buying it in Tesco or not at all.

hate to state the obvious, but a lot of the DTD bargains are those which we DTDers buy one of, even though they are actually on promotion at Tesco (Tetley Teabags are 2 for £6), they are being purchased by normal shoppers not the likes of the folk that know about MSE... :beer:
