Whoopsie Queen :hello:
Glad to have met you tonight, mentioned to artha we are going to have to dress up a bit for whoopsie shopping as both TM and yourself have put us to shame:rotfl:
By the way talking to you meant I missed out on any cooked meat and I had to pay £3 for a meal deal for DW :eek: off and on the same price as those jointsWhen The Fun Stops Stop0 -

Not too far from the truth actually.
No I was after a £2 GC having walked by and spotted the '2 for £3' on the milk. May as well have a couple I thought! Wasn't doing an APG shop - got those 6 pack free range eggs that compare more expensive elsewhere (having been unable to find the same-price filler eggs last night) - I could have lost my card or my voucher but instead of course I'd picked up the Cravendale thinking it was the other milk, the own brand 4pt milk at £1 each.
I added up with just the eggs. Then drove on to the nearest Aldi - and found 6 FR medium eggs for 95p!:mad:
Oh well, you win some... (etc.)
And I never went back for the own brand milk after all! Suddenly didn't want any milk!!:rotfl::rotfl:
In the next store (more wombles) later, could you believe it - no good store! - I succumbed and was going to 'test' the Arm and Hammer - would you believe it? - the store had every Arm and Hammer except the one that, if it had worked, would have worked best. I then spotted, next to it, a "new" Arm and Hammer, which I didn't recall seeing on MSM, with a price SEL of £3.00 (no m'buy offer) and all £3 and no offer on the rest of them too. Well, I thought... possible trigger!! Went to self-scan to check how the two different A&Hs scanned, one of which the new one, the other the next best A&H comparer, came at £3 each - no chance, put them back!
I then completed my shop, without the A&H. Bought two times Shower Shine Cleaner. And chuckled a little when I read the m'buy saving on the receipt: "Trigger - 2 for £1.50". Well, we can hope!:rotfl:
(Though, pedants will note, as well as other people, not actually a 'trigger' as such on this occasion! We hope it's a full pricing Shower shine vs T's m'buy. If not, though, 10% less than 75p for each isn't too bad. Not as good as 10% off £1.00 for the 1L versions several years ago, mind. So cost of shower shine - I've ran out - has increased to the extent of :eek::eek::eek: in recent years - last load of them came from T's DTD price check that long ago, and were nearly free!)0 -

Womble from this afternoon (big, long receipt, they spent nearly £108:eek:), and... woooooooo... they saved £23.23 against Waities!!
The meat m'buy working in Sada's favour, as this bit from the middle of the comp. result shows:
1 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Pork Loin Steaks (660g)£3.34N/A
1 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Smoked Gammon Steaks (530...£3.33N/A
1 x ASDA Lighter Red Leicester (300g)£2.00N/A
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Chicken Fried Rice (190g)£0.90N/A
1 x ASDA Smartprice Low Fat Yogurts (4x125g)£0.33N/A
1 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Lean Beef Mince (675g)£3.33N/A
(Though Pork Loin Steaks are comparing vs T, more expensively, so if you can get a trigger and have full prices comparing, perhaps something can be made out of this - folks, I'll analyse the details of that receipt later, you know I will...:rotfl:)
Based on my earlier posts this week I've been trying to test the Butcher's Selection sirloin steak 2 for £7 A vT, but Mr A hasn't had them in stock wherever I've looked. :mad: Depending on which way they calculate the 10% weight difference, (227g v 250g) it could be of interest, as msm is showing BOGOF v Tesco as well as the multibuy. If anyone can find them to test, I'm happy to sub it with APGs.Hope is not a strategy.0
