  • Are they glitching with the Lipton iced tea?

    Posted at the same time as Squigs - great minds eh? ;)

    To be honest, i have no idea! I just thought i would try it out as they are also 2 for 1.

    I am looking through other 2 for 1 offers in W's so will do another tester shop later or in the morning :-)

    If W, T, S read Grocer, maybe they will put tons of stuff on similar offers just to get at A?

    Maybe they've already been putting tons of stuff on offer to get at A?

    I'd guess that the mood in Tesco Central Command is pretty good at the moment.

    Feeling confident after my first shops yesterday - done 3 today and made mistakes on 2 - pooh!

    Despite writing my list re coke - I forgot the odd/even rule so glad was I to find the product (after others re clean shop missing). Tosh.

    Tried the cheese shop for S - no Lake District cheese but used Pilgram's it hasn't worked..... so watch out.

    I knew this but forgot to write do not buy the lemon dishwashing cleaner on final list and I ....brought the lemon one - disaster pay for this and 2 others as no longer have comparable in group of 3. But I have learnt - I just need to remember - must try harder...! :o

    It was tricky finding 750ml bleach as most bottles had extra 33% free so still £1 but now 1 litre - unsure if they would still work if 'free' or change in ml size would mean not compare. Anyone know the answer to this?

    Re choccy and discussion - msm prices went to 2 for £2 yesterday - my shop went through ok yesterday. I haven't done choccy shop today but sounds like still working against previous price - fingers crossed long may this continue...!

    Really don't think so, these items are allocated to offers by barcode , so new bottle means new barcode and doubt it will be included in the list (at least thats how it used to be done):D

    I think the tweak might be a higher number of items than the current 8, or a cap on each apg of say £10, or a apg of a max of 10% of your total shop value.

    The cap is the most likely so it matches both the t and the s scheme and possibly a minimum spend of £20 as in s - but most of us can manage a £20 shop quite easily.

    Mind you a is very proud of their claim to be 10% cheaper so any tweaks could mess this up

    I am quite disappointed that the grocer read the thread and didnt pick up on our real news.

    New babies, hamsters, mushy pea curry, pics of cats and lovely beach scenes- now that is real news.
    Guess some information is just too hot to handle for some publications :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
