    Slightly confused. If the new spreadsheet is "auto updating", why are there no blue cells and entries with today's date?
    Even if you are a minority of one, the truth is the truth.

    It is a bit annoying how you have to wait for the Tesco pricechecker, with Asda it checks it immediately and lets you print of the voucher straight away....

    But do you get £20 vouchers with Asda? :D

    Check the date!! I was thinking that too. :D I have it written down on my shopping list. There MUST be some OOD sels floating around at the moment in all this chaos of up and down prices.

    I'm aware of 2 OOD SELS in my local that would make items free or super cheap with instore overcharge DTD which I can't buy whilst shopping for DTD stuff in case they write DTD GIVEN all over my new receipt :D

    Because no prices have been confirmed yet. No one has received any vouchers yet today.

    All the mullerlight 6 packs have gone off asda website apart from the chocolate one. They're on SS as £1.50 but last time they were on website they were showing as £2.90.

    Just for any of you who have missed this https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3158192

    I just nipped to my local and got 6 740ml bottles for £2.82! I usually skip other grabbits but could resist this one! Getting another one over Mr T is becoming my mission!


    Brilliant glitch! Thanks :D:D:D

    Going to stick my neck out here and say that this to me proves the point that we are abusing the system - as if you catually did your normal shop you are saying that you wouldn't get anything back i.e. Mr A would not be that much / any cheaper.

    The system / their offer is that your regular shopping would be cheaper than Mr A. What we are doing is purposefully buying the most expensive items and ignoring the good offers and cheaper items.

    Not wanting to start an argument and I am doing this along with everyone else, but I think it's fair to say that this isn't really "in the spirit of the promotion" :o

    But who is to say what is and isn't a 'normal' shop? I'm a single girl, my basket (yes, basket, not trolley) regularly consists of wine, shampoo, Magnums etc. My shop is different from a pensioner's, or someone with a big family. I'm not feeding the five thousand, and I buy things on impulse sometimes - likewise, I stock up on non-perishables if there's a good offer on! I also pop into T a few times per week instead of doing a big weekly shop, because (a) I have one near my house and one near my office and (b) I don't have kids to placate!

    I agree with what you are saying here. I've thought about giving it up once or twice but have been drawn back in by the possible savings .... its like some sort of drug :rotfl:

    I think because I'm buying things on DTD that will be a long term saving like stocking up on shampoo, conditioners, body moisturisers, body wash, other health and beauty and personal hygiene things that you don't normally buy every week consistantly that the savings aren't noticable immediately.

    I hope in the months to come though, that I shall notice difference and it'll be worth all the effort. Its like someone else said - you have to speculate to accumulate with this offer and it doesn't come without some effort first. Think you've got to work it best to your own circumstances though and not get too carried away because it could start 'costing' alot of money.

    I think I might tonight as I want to "end" a voucher that has been recycled a few times now... just don't want to draw attention to myself for items I don't really need (but can use... one is choccy and one is air freshener) ;)
