Great news! ASDA are cheapest. However, ASDA are not 10% cheaper than Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Waitrose, on your comparable grocery shopping. As such you are entitled to a voucher for £0.21.

I got 21p back? Now the above I wasn't expecting anything back and I just don't understand which shop they are comparing that I got 24p back:rotfl::rotfl:
Hi DrWW - I had a quick look and can't see where anyone has answered your query - so I'll do it
No, ASDA APG has not gone BARMY ! SADLY IT'S YOU :rotfl:
I can see that you had clicked on "WHY 21p" where it explained it but obviously didn't see the reason.
OK - It was the comparison against TESCO that generated the APG of 21p
The reason ?
From your post - the top comparison details, bottom line .....
Comparison total (compared products only)£3.98 £4.19
ASDA was CHEAPER at £3.98 by 21p
Tesco was £4.19 (for the compared products)
BUT ASDA WILL BE (Want to be) 10% CHEAPER - OR give you your money back
Buying these items AT Tesco WOULD HAVE COST £4.19
10% LESS than £4.19 is 42p Cheaper = £3.77
ASDA charged you £3.98 - which is 21p MORE than £3.77
Hence an APG for 21p

coke zone didnt remind me to log in to keep my points from expiring, then they emailed me asking me if i'd enjoyed my reward. I assume they thought my points going meant i'd ordered a gift!.
I don't drink coke anyway, but if i did, i wouldnt anymore
Did anyone watch the channel4 superscrimpers show last night?. it was much to do about nothing really, feed 8 for £50. They still left food on their plates, though her roast spuds did look a bit burnt:p
then the showed how to use leftovers from a turkey. we used to have lots left, problem solver is to just not buy a turkey
Oh and a woman made cheesey biscuits, which looked nice :A

We need to fill a few pages for when my sis gets back, give her soemthing to read:D
[FONT="]Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a drink and a smoke, when it starts to rain. [/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]Jane pulls out a condom, cut off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking. [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Arlene: What the hell is that? [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT] [FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Jane: A condom.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]This way my cigarette doesn't get wet. [/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]Arlene:[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]Where did you get it?[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]Jane: You can get them at any drugstore.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local drugstore and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.[/FONT][FONT="] [/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]"Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel."[/FONT]Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)
