Shop for things I needed, based around Savvy's AvM list - Thanks Savvybuyer.

I don't think the onions are on your list? - They compare well at 45p Kg after APG.

Just seen this - thank you!:) Appears there's nothing glitched on your list, so the N/A on the Wrapping Foil and the Flora Buttery definitely one to take to HQ.

I did pick up the price of the brown onions in M, and they were considered but decided not to include them. Onions are 39p at Aldi on Super 6 at the moment. So are Savoy Cabbages - I originally included this on my vs M list but later decided to cross it out.

However, I have just added one new item onto the A vs M list, following one of my own mistakes tonight! I have added Asda Dairy Fudge (200g) - not that we need any more toffee/chocolate/fudge and the like. I put it on a vs Sains. comparison, hoping it might compare with Sainsbury's Dairy Toffee - which is 9.999% weight difference from A. (Well obviously not exactly 9.999% - I haven't calculated it - but you get my drift...) Of course fudge doesn't compare to toffee, and I thought an N/A - but, you never know, it could have been a refund of a few pence 88p vs 88p or even vs a 2p no longer available in Sains. showing as N/A on MSM. (It wasn't, sadly.)

I thought M might be much dearer - loads and loads of different sweet packs in M - too many to note or remember the details of. APG says (and I don't doubt) an equivalent price for M of 91p, so I lost a few pence(!) and this item is now on my vs M list - it's vs M only. I managed - and I wasn't planning this way - to buy a shopping basket that was entirely non-comparable to W. Next time I think it is A vs W for me. Pondering whether to print off a 34p womble. The comparison vs M triggered the voucher, thought it lost a load due to a lot of items being much more expensive in M:(.

They bought A SP Corned Beef 200g apparently at £1.88 and it returned N/A vs M. But - I was just about to - before you rush off and buy A SP Corned Beef, thinking this was on one of my posts with me saying it was £1.54 (which is actually a price increase from about a year ago, but still fairly 'cheap' (twice as expensive though as two milk tray boxes!!:rotfl:)) - sadly the SP Corned Beef on my list is 340g for £1.54 (M much more expensive) whereas they bought 140g less and paid more for it. So no price SELs of £1.54 (these price SELs are there) but being charged £1.88 for it - and then difference and £2 giftcard. As far as I know the 340g charges £1.57 - correct price: what a shame!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

(Oops, nearly a legendary long post. Not my longest though and not long enough to qualify but a bit shorter whilst not being short.) (Savvy makes no sense.)

Editing it, getting longer! I'll stop now:D;) though.

So far.......£3.09 :rotfl::rotfl: already beaten last months :cool:

Perhaps there should be friendly competition for the lowest amount per month as well

No point - I would win every time. Wombles are an endangered species here:(

Mixed weight eggs might be better (not NI) A vs M, probably better the size down. Freshly frozen green beans - way expensive at 85p. I got them T vs A a long time ago when A was 75p. Still apparently okay - package says keep until BB date - which is later this year - as long as kept at -18 or below (which they have been).

Cherry Scones are A vs M - M is 50p this week. Another one that didn't make my shortlist (or, rather, long-list!:rotfl::rotfl:) Felt to be too expensive at 45p net as whoopsies often available cheaper. Also Plain Scones (4) - same prices.

Not sure about the Laces - they might be - or might have been - A vs M too. But noticed something strange on MSM that stopped me buying them. (Perhaps I'd better go into that and go back and check in more detail!...wondering regarding glitch-potential - but don't get excited yet, I think it may be something that worked against us, if it was something that showed a glitch I'd have been on here some time ago about it. But I will now go and double-check the current position, just in case...:rotfl:)

SP/Eday Value Chicken Fillets - be careful as weight range may differ. SP may be within 10% of Eday but Eday not 10% of SP, I'm not entirely sure: my very next post will go towards the same issue.

Flora Buttery 500g - should be A vs M - M is £1.00 but APG not picking up. Buy it anyway, if needed, on a non-glitched A vs M, then complain to HQ. Otherwise - I know it's not the same but just a suggestion of an alternative - I Can't Believe It's Not Butter 500g versions (both regular and light) - T vs S - S is 90p. Or S in its own right or S vs A as A obviously, hopefully, doesn't stock them!
