thanks done i've got baby brain

If it's any help, I never work on DTD, but the actual difference if you see what I mean.
I try not to go over £10 difference in each shop, & keep track that way. Okay, sometimes it might come in about £10.15, so the next shop I'll be looking for just under £10. The aim is to make sure I don't go over £50 so that I don't get the dreaded over the limit email.

Let us know when you publish your own version.

Are you a mind reader!:D

Berba, sorry if you don't like it but, erm, tough. We can't win. Different people want different things. I get PMs every single day (in addition to what is posted here publically) asking for changes, modifications, can we do this that and the next thing to the spreadsheet.

We are trying to please hundreds of people. A lot of folk didn't want to see the poorer value deals. So, we've separated them. And we physically do not have enough time to be doing confirmations on every single item, so we have restricted the confirming to the high value items.

Many people struggle to calculate the DTD and net costs too, so I believe this needs to be there. On that basis, it wouldn't fit on one sheet!

I never tried the rack of lamb. The portions didn't work out right for a family of 3.

The rack was my favourite, we are a family of three and ate 1 each, about 10 times!

Went to tesco this morning and struggled to get any dtd stuff with the price changing all the time. Got a couple of pot noodles, the Airwick Aquamist, Fairy fabric conditioner and some cereals Also some of the Johnsons baby stuff thats on offer at Asda, will see what dtd coupon turns up for this lot.

However, I have never seen so many goings on at Tesco. Lots of displays of things on ends of aisles with pieces of paper hanging over them, you know A4 sheets of paper print outs and lots of staff milling about with loads of the shelf edge labels in their hands, they were really busy changing prices. Goodness knows whats going to change, but Fairy gel, the big bottle was on one of the shelves and couldn't get near it for the amount of staff hovering.

Best to be alert, prices are going to be changed again.

Agreed. I loved the download SS as I could manipulate it and print off a personalised shopping list, but when it got too much work for the volunteers who provided it I didn't complain or whinge, I simply got out a pen and paper and did it the old-fashioned way. They've done enough for us already and if they say it's too complicated I will believe them and put some more effort in myself. Simples.

It was like that in my T's, I just find it so funny, but we will soon be one step ahead again and find new dtd's:rotfl:

I think the spreadsheet is great since it has split in two.
Much better that way. :T
Thank you for all your hard work. Really do appreciate it.

This has really helped me save money for my baby who is due in 10 weeks plus helped out as we are currently trying to find somewhere to live - I'll be homeless once the baby is born.
So at least when we find somewhere we will have plenty of washing powder, fabric conditioner and cupboard food!
