    Hello, good evening. Time is going quickly tonight! Earlier I looked at the clock and saw it was 8.20pm and the next moment it was already twenty past nine! Now it seems like the night's flown since 10.

    My purpose for popping in is to mention a few items I've noticed for Aldi and Farmfoods that appear to be better value (if you have those stores available to you) than the major supermarkets.

    In Aldi, packs of 6 salad tomatoes are currently 49p as is the broccoli (fresh 350g). Plenty of time - these appear to be on up to (and including) 22nd May.

    Farmfoods have 1kg frozen Chicken Breast Fillets packs on 'any 3 for £10' - this does beat Avs M or T at 10% off £3.99, but you have to buy 3. Farmfoods have the Snickers/Mars etc. Ice Cream Bars at 89p each

    There's milk on 'any 2 for £1.60' - they're 2 litres each (but 2 litres is slightly less than 4 pints). Also beaten by A2 with coupons or, less good, Cravendale when it last glitched (is that still glitching - I haven't heard anything of late?). I've also noticed Farmfoods have their packs of 6 Large eggs at '2 for £1.50' - works out at 75p per pack, however I can't see whether they are free range ones or not.

    As well as the ice cream bars, Farmfoods have packs of branded lollies at 89p. A reminder to us all not to forget the other outlets - some of their prices may be better than 10% off the price of a major supermarket rival of A and that, even if an item is glitching, somewhere else may be cheaper than the glitched price.

    Finally, on packs of lollies, the Vimto Mixed Fruit Lollies (6x45ml), on Avs T, plus currently TCB Snap & Save of 25p, works out at, in effect, 65p for one pack. They are £1.00 each in both A and T, and are not part of the 2 for £3 offer in A.

    Okay - I'll see you all later, and goodbye for now from me.:):):wave:

    For Patty (it was more than a peck last night:j:rotfl::rotfl:) - :kisses3:.
    Whats all that about Savvy run while you still can :D

    No, I just checked a receipt and had this. :rotfl:


    0 items on your bill qualify for comparison Waitrose

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Chicken Flavour Instant Noodles (6... £0.11 N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Instant Noodles Curry (65g) £0.11 N/A
    2 x ASDA Baby New Potatoes with Herbs & Butter (360g) £2.00 N/A
    2 x Lucozade Sport Body Fuel Caribbean Burst (4x500ml) £7.70 N/A

    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Giant Rainbow Buttons Bar (15g) £0.10 N/A
    2 x Soft & Gentle Body Responsive Antiperspirant Deodo... £3.00 N/A

    Comparison total (compared products only) £0.00 £0.00

    That looks correct to me (although I've not checked). One of my last wombles had just one item comparable at W (sadly a lot more expensive there). None of the S/P is comparable to W, the White Mice and Rainbow Buttons more than likely aren't, and you probably bought the versions of Lucozade that aren't stocked in W. This doesn't seem to me to be any of the 'one-day' total N/A vs T, S and W, more likely simply you, or your shopper, just happened not to buy anything that has any equivalent in W.
