Just remember a few things ...

1. The £10 coupon is JUST a refund of the £10 EXTRA you spent at Tesco that you wouldn't have spent at ASDA (I'm sure many forget this and think they're getting a BONUS from doing it)

2. If the SAME item is ALSO £1 in Sainsbury's OR Morrisons OR Waitrose/Ocado buying 10 of them in ASDA as part of a similarly cost compared shopping list of 8 other items to qualify for an APG means you'll ONLY pay 90p for them
(Basically £10 in ASDA AND £10 elsewhere gives 10% back so £1 refund)

3. If the SAME item is ONLY 90p in Sainsbury's OR Morrisons OR Waitrose/Ocado buying 10 of them in ASDA as part of a similarly cost compared shopping list of 8 other items to qualify for an APG means you'll ONLY pay 81p for them
(Basically £10 in ASDA AND £9 elsewhere gives DIFFERENCE AND 10% back so £1.90 refund)

4. You are relying on the JTD TO WORK ....
Firstly ...IF the JTD fails to compare AT ALL you have bought the items at £2 each and IF they are something that cannot be returned for a refund then basically you're STUFFED. Even if you can return them it's a lot of hassle and you would still have to go to ASDA to buy them at £1 if you really need/want them.

Secondly, IF the JTD fails to compare as planned on THIS £2(T)/£1(A) item, then it can ALSO SCREW UP all the other JTD items that you put on the same receipt.

5a. In the case of example 2, IF there is a comparison failure with the APG you STILL ONLY pay £1 ... which (in this example) is the price you would have to pay in Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Waitrose/Ocado (and HALF the price in Tesco - ONLY the same WITH JTD)

5b. In the case of example 3, IF there is a comparison failure with the APG you STILL ONLY pay £1 - OK you could have paid just 90p in Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Waitrose/Ocado .......

(Which effectively IS THE SAME as buying (PAYING MORE) in Tesco in order to generate a JTD voucher refund because it's cheaper in ASDA)

... BUT BUT BUT .. YOU ARE NOT attempting a JUST The Difference ...

You are attempting THE DIFFERENCE PLUS 10%

Basically GAMBLING (that the Price Comparison WORKS OK - "as planned") the sum of 10p per item TO WIN 9p per item AND GET YOUR ORIGINAL STAKE BACK ....

The BET is 10p (paid £1 but could have paid just 90p) - a total "BET" of £1 for 10 of them.
The APG (on a correctly assembled shopping list) refunds the difference AND 10% ... the difference of £1 IS YOUR BET - so you get your stake back) and then you get your WINNINGS of 90p (10% of £9 - £9 being what they would have cost elsewhere)

6. JTD is only really worth trying IF .....

(a) ..... you've got either MOCs to get FREE or significantly reduced priced items OR ... CONDITIONAL SPEND VOUCHERS (eg £5 Off WYS £25)
... BOTH OF WHICH significantly reduce the INITIAL OUTLAY at your Tesco till and effectively enhance (increase) the value of any JTD

(b) ..... your NEAREST ASDA is too far away such that the costs (fuel/time/bus fare etc) in getting there outweighs any savings made from any cheaper items they may have on offer.

7. UNLESS Store Specific (ie Tesco) .. any MOC's etcetera that can be used as per 6a BUT in ASDA ..... can be used exactly the same to ENHANCE the APG outcome - same refund of DIFFERENCE PLUS 10% but you paid less actual MONEY at the till



HERE ENDETH THE LESSON :rotfl:

Thanks Quoia. I had to read all this 4 times before it made sense! No.2 still doesn't make sense. what is APG???
Never mind - I have come to the conclusion that it is too much hassle and I will stick to my way of shopping or Lidl weekend deals as someone has suggested!!!

APG is Asda Price Guarantee. It's their version of Tesco price check, except they will give you 10% back if your shopping would have been cheaper at one of the other supermarkets they compare with. More limits and rules though that Tesco.
