Tesco/Asda Pricechecker Thread - part 5

I've been naughty ...... very naughty! I thought I'd do my 1st DTD shop today but I was called away from the house to pick up the hubby so wasn't fully prepared.
I had 6 transactions in total though I missed out on £10 by putting 2 lots of Finish on one bill. I have to say that apart from the eye cream which is a treat, everything else was stuff we needed or similar to what we use anyway so I feel no guilt :rotfl:
Transaction 1:
Toothbrush (last one!) plus other non-DTD = £16
Transaction 2:
Eye Cream plus other non-DTD stuff = £20
Transaction 3:
Eye Cream plus other non-DTD stuff = £20
Transaction 4:
Vodka plus other DTD stuff = £20
Transaction 5:
Vodka plus other DTD stuff = £15
Transaction 6:
Finish plus other DTD stuff that I lost out on = £20
Total spend minus DTD (fingers crossed) equals £60 which got us lots of alcohol, dishwasher tablets to clean the drinks glasses and eye cream to reduce the effects of over drinking :beer:
Thank you so much to those who have been and still are working on the spreadsheet. We've saved a small fortune today which will help towards the costs of our new arrival - I'd forgotten how much nappies & formula cost
i hope you entered a couple of your shops with a different email address.:grouphug:

I see where you're coming from, but it wouldn't work
Only way would be if they caught you picking it up or something! lol
Queue a fight! That's my receipt............. Prove it
Your right, I didnt think of that , it wouldnt have a name on it , would it ? I think my mind is on making my next dtd shopping list :rotfl:0 -
Havent seen these confirmed yet so thought i would add, and have inputed on ss.
F/T TRIAIDCRAFT GEOBAR CEREAL BARS 160G 5PK 1.69 1.04 cost 39p
(41p per pack)
On mysupermarket I am only getting the chocolate Geobars as being stocked in both stores
There are 2 other versions so we need confirmation of this one. A pity I like the look of the Apricot ones

lol lol i am sat here laughing my socks off lol lol years ago there was a bug repeller called ddt and I have so nearly written that a few times lol shows me age huh lol lol :rotfl:0 -
Yes did this yesterday. I bought 2 packs and confirmed the DTD earlier.
You just have to make sure you dont buy 3 packs.
One pack would ruin the maths as well ??? If so maybe a note on the spreadsheet? I did a form earlier but didnt realise Asda had changed their offer
I submitted a ss form the other day with a note of asdas change of price for the huggies wipes. I presumed when it hadn't been changed that it
was maybe store specific.Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it ....... just pee on it and walk away.0 -
