    I'm back from being mum's taxi. Does anyone know if there is an up to date post from Savvy for comparisons to morries? I've looked but can't find it.

    Hi there. No, there isn't one yet. I tried to post one (T v M) yesterday evening but, by the time I finished my post, it timed out, wanted me to log back in again and in such a way that I lost my entire post and couldn't retrieve it.:mad: I lacked the energy last night to spend another 40 minutes writing it all out again, hence my absence from here for a short while.

    I am going to try again (in my own Word document first), and they'll be another post from me, hopefully, in the next 30-45 minutes "or so", in which I'll start again, do a proper welcome to this thread, and the list (I think there's, from memory, only about 14 items - due to A vs M comp. working out 10% less). I'm not sure how useful it will be, at this late stage in the day, as M's prices change on Monday, so this effectively means valid just for a few hours today and for tomorrow (although we - or at least I - don't know what day of the week T does its M price collection on - my info is from last Wednes. - perhaps T also collect on Fridays, meaning a slight chance some of the offers will have changed between Wed and Fri).

    Regarding A vs M, I have a quite a few good items vs M this week (i.e. now only tomorrow, my A's shut at 10pm on Sats). My original post, lost, included a highlight of a small number - I think I'll forget that now. I have 140-odd items on Avs M this week - I wasn't intending posting a vs M list each week, due to the amount of time it takes to collate all together.

    However, I might just try to cut and paste just a list of items on here - no prices for A (or probably M either) - you'll have to work that one out yourself I'm afraid. Or if I do give M prices (which may take a little bit of time after the post originally appears, whenever it may be tonight, if it appears at all), I won't be stopping and commenting about how other versions/varieties against other rival supermarkets may work out better, I'll just leave you, capably, to work out whether the M price (or M less 10%) represents good value or otherwise.

    Suffice to say I'll briefly mention that the SP Apple Pies have been removed from the M list due to an equivalent being introduced at S at 50p or any 3 for 2. I've also taken the SP Strawberry Trifle off the M list and put them onto the T list, as T have a new item which is equivalent to A's CBY range item and works out cheaper (A vs T) per gram!

    There's quite a few WW meals still on at £1.25 at M (ending 5/2) and also WW 2 Lemon Cheesecakes are now on the A vs M list (don't need to multibuy - although you can if you want - as they're 99p, I think, each in M) - I'm already beginning to summarise now having said I wouldn't:rotfl::rotfl: - and better post this quickly before it's lost.

    But just to confuse you with deviousness - I rather like this: the SP Strawberry Trifle removed as T introduce... etc., but the individual SP Strawberry Cheesecake still kept on the A vs M list as still works out same per g vs M as SP Cheesecake vs T and no new item from T. (I rather like these devious exceptions and quirks that most people have difficulty dealing with - but, to me, it's like a mathematical puzzle that is second nature to me.) "Common sense" isn't second nature but technical and detailed exemptions and inclusions are!!:rotfl::rotfl: (Couldn't fix a leaky pipe but could tell you whether to get a trifle or a cheesecake and, if so, which one!:rotfl:) See you later.

    [Edit: T vs M post came at 9.30pm - post 762 about four pages away.]

    Thanks sally06. I picked up a 'few' of these mags today for the welch's. (it has Denise Welch on the cover ironically).

    My DS was only asking if we could get some more of the juice the other day, as he likes it.

    The one I got was the grape/apple one and it's on offer at S for £1.00 ;):)

    Evening Elite! :D (long post alert):beer:

    I was wondering if this would be mentioned, I saw it earlier and have been milking it all day lol, bought 1 mag for 95p in A's, went to a T's and spent the coupon (it scans at £2.59) on a Welch's at £1.30 in T's, another mag for 95p and 34p off shopping...then rinse and repeat lol in the next T's! Thank you to Sally06 for mentioning it this morning!

    :T:T:T

    A most productive day for me today - I put some effort in for a change!

    1 - DTD on Panasonic Rechargeable Shaver ES-RT 51 - s , SEL 2 weeks OOD!:eek:

    And I was told off lol,

    "Didn't you notice the overcharge?" :mad:

    "Well yes but thought I would sort out at CS rather than keep the queue waiting!":D

    "Well what you SHOULD have done is question it with the SA and check the price BEFORE the transaction was paid for....now I have to give you DOUBLE back!:mad::mad::mad: Like there are rules for customers now how to deal with a potential DTD situation so as T's will not lose out due to their almighty c*** up.

    Me - :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: kerching! Trying not to laugh.

    Free shaver...OH would have been thrilled if I wasn't going to be returning it...:T:T:T

    Then I picked up a £1.64 brand match at SS in Sainsbobs when I bought a £1.50 item...:j

    Then almost best of all - just put through my one and only womble from A's - £11.89:eek::eek::eek: It was from 3 weeks ago and the payout was from a toothbrush £35 in A's and £16 in M's.

    Worth a trip out today - look out tomorrow!
