I have just got back from my own tescos again , and the vanish 1.5kg oxi is now back up to £12, being £6 earlier this afternoon !! There were a lot of items with blank prices on them and a lot of extra staff ( I presume ) dealing with different items. There seemed to be more staff than customers tonight.

Just in case you're not aware, Vanish Oxi is now up to £10.80 at Mr A - so not a great dtd.

How long have Tesco had a price check comparison tool on there website for ??!!
I haven't noticed it before but came across it, nothing I enter seems to be available for comparison so I was wondering if it was a new thing. (and something they have been spending time on instead of sending out our vouchers, grrrr!).

It's bizzare !

It's not on the website but Tesco's are doing easter eggs for £1.25 but ASDA are £1. Will that work?

Take care with the display price, as usual, because my local was still showing fox's chocy cookies as the old price rather than the current lower price

Tesco are probably just taking their time trying to figure out why vegetable samosa's sales have gone up 400%...

I'd love to try this but my Tesco only does mini-veg ones or large chicken tikka ones. Does anyone know if they'd work?

I’m a SS editor. Please can I add my 2p worth.

Nobody should underestimate the work going on behind the scenes to bring you the data resulting from our shared experiences. There is a lot of work going on. Before Monday’s changes the editors had to deal with each and every single update, check the prices on both websites, add the tips given by the update provider and make extra notes of what to watch out for if necessary. This was done for all updates, even the unconfirmed ones.

It was an awful lot of work for not a lot of people. People who had committed to this volunteer task for the good of the thread, no other reason. But it wasn’t sustainable, the whole thing became larger than anyone had ever expected and something had to give.

So now the updates are dealt with as necessary without checking prices and the split lists are great, as now it’s easier to target the hot deals. At least this way, we can share our experiences and tipoffs, but seeing as we all should be checking websites ourselves on the day that we shop, it was felt that the editors shouldn’t have to do that as well.

A big thank you to all the editors and especially those who created the spreadsheet and continue to redesign and reformulate as necessary.

And finally thank you to everyone who sends updates, as without you the spreadsheet would be empty...so would our shopping baskets!

I personally would just like to say I am very grateful for the spreadsheet and will run with it however it appears, working full time with 2 small children I do not have to trawl both websites to find the deals and would have got much less out of this without it.
Thanks again

Some kind soul took pity on my delusion (got bad DTD Voucher withdrawals) and informed me that it had been removed earlier (probably before the promotion started).

Let me reiterate that I appreciate the time you take.

Let me also say, that I don't do shops for the sake of it, I buy stuff I need and like it to be balanced. The best way to balance what you actually need v what is available DTD wise, is to have a mixture of items, some offering better DTD value and some worse. The greedy people out there, that insist on buying a load of crap they'll never use, because they think they're getting one over on Mr T should not be pandered to, in the fashion that appears to be happening now. The old spreadsheet format, containing all items, under headers, was far far superior to the version available now. The systematic "dumping" of what are now classed "low value" DTD items, but still very useful to many, into an unorganised mess, is more than a little disappointing.

Just my opinion.

You always have to add something!!!

Just use the details that you are given on the SS and do something yourself rather than spending time telling people what would be better for YOU.

Had a really lovely sa this morning then one who made me feel like a thief this afternoon! I handed over my receipt and voucher, got a dirty look, she checked it all, signed the receipt then called over to another sa - "Just checking, I'm doing this right, I've checked the numbers and signed the receipt so she can't use it again, yeah?" I had no intention of reusing a receipt, don't really think there was any need to shout that out!!!!
