TS sounds like you're gonna be having a busy and expensive Christmas :beer: congrats on the lovely news, Nanny TinyShoes has a lovely ring to it
Just seen the post about the price drop in the dinner set, might have to leg it back and try and grab the ones that were on the shelf, plates I don't really need as I bought 8 of each but would love the bowls

[Strike]0.83 x ASDA Swede by Weight £0.78 £0.99
0.81 x ASDA Parsnips by Weight £1.21 £1.20[/Strike]
1 x ASDA Smartprice Parsnips (750g) £0.74* N/A
[Strike]1 x ASDA Vegetable Oil (1L) £1.35 £1.39
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Crinkle Cut Frying Chips (1.81K... £2.00 N/A[/Strike]
?? 1 x McCains Crinkle Cut Chips (1.81kg) £3.00 £2.00 - I think possibly, as this still too much for me so not sure of exact version needed - might a different one.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Free Range Large Eggs (12) £2.78 £2.49[/Strike]
2 x ASDA Free Range Medium Eggs (6) £2.00 £1.94 (we hope)
[Strike]1 x ASDA Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (4x410g) £1.24 £1.26[/Strike]
4 x ASDA Smartprice Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (400g) £1.00 £1.00 (but may be slightly slightly better vs T)
1 x ASDA Antibacterial Cleaner (500ml) £1.25 £1.00 - would be on m'buy glitch day
[Strike]2 x ASDA Chosen by You Lemonade (2L) £1.20 N/A[/Strike]
2 x ASDA Smartprice Lemonade NAS (2L) 34p 34p (should be, may still unfortunately return N/A)
1 x ASDA Smartprice Disinfectant Pine (1L) £0.31 £0.31
[Strike]1 x ASDA Mixed Peppers (3) £1.75 £1.89[/Strike]
Probably 3x ASDA Loose Peppers if we have to - or some other version vs M
[Strike]1 x ASDA Great Stuff Soft Citrus (500g) £1.00 N/A[/Strike]
Wouldn't buy from A at the moment. Probably some oranges from Aldi, if still on offer, or the BPBV Oranges straight in M £1.00. Or, if you really must and have too, ASDA Chosen by You Satsumas (650g) £1.25 £0.92
[Strike]1 x ASDA White Potatoes (2.5Kg) £2.00 £2.00
1 x ASDA New Potatoes (2.5Kg) £1.90 £2.50[/Strike]
1 x ASDA Smartprice Red Potatoes (2.5kg) £1.18 N/A
(Plus Baby New Potatoes Herbs & Butter on T comp)
[Strike]1 x ASDA Extra Special All Butter Shortbread Fingers (... £1.58 N/A[/Strike] Why??:(:(:mad:
1 x Patterson Shortbread Fingers (380g?) - doing this from memory by the way - no reference sheets, no MSM.co.uk or my own M list at hand here - £1.00 £1.00 - though I'm returning now to check the Soft Citrus on a.com properly and the ones below.
[Strike]1 x ASDA 100% Pure Squeezed Orange Juice Smooth (1L) £1.34 N/A[/Strike]
Probably A SP Orange Juice, although diff. size to M it seems. Or some at Aldi or Sunpride Mango Juice 1L 69p (T, or Svs T)
[Strike]1 x Amy's Indian Mattar Paneer (283g) £3.00 N/A
1 x Amy's Kitchen Bean & Cheese Burrito (170g) £2.00 N/A[/Strike]
Probably not buying at the moment. Now Chinese Meals on at £2.00 in M - but not many seem comparable. Did find one fresh meal (but Chinese, as that is what I was checking vs M) in A at £1.00 - sure we could find some better than these.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Deep Pan Tikka 14" Pizza (1.02Kg) £3.50 N/A
1 x ASDA Vegetable Supreme Deep Pan 14" Pizza (893g) £3.50 N/A[/Strike]
Ummm... what about some Dr Oetker ones a few weeks back perhaps??
[Strike]1 x Neutrogena Hand Cream Lotion Unscented (75ml) £3.40 N/A[/Strike] Not Avs M. Probably other product somewhere else!:D
[Strike]1 x Imperial Leather Original Soap (4x100g) £1.50 £1.69[/Strike]
1x ASDA Smartprice Soap (3x125g) 35p 35p
If you do have to have Imperial Leather, then I believe these in 2s may have been 2 for £3 vs M recently (might be ongoing, not 100% sure, as waiting for something better) or vs S in 2s more certainly.
[Strike]1 x [/Strike]2 x Coca Cola (2L) [Strike]£1.98[/Strike] £3.96 £1.98 - on glitch day and assuming bogofs work, or with trigger in 3 for £3 (if one can be found) and again assuming bogofs work, if not then mix and match (really hoping both (comparing) varieties vs M picked up)
[Strike]1 x Birds Eye Value Fish Fingers (10 per pack - 250g) £1.00 £1.00[/Strike]
1 x ASDA Smartprice Fish Fingers (10 per pack - 250g) £0.60 £0.60 (or Bird's Eye Cod vs T!!)

1 x Tetley Tea Bags (240 per pack) £5.00 £2.89
[Strike] 1 x Nurofen 200mg Tablets (16) £1.75 £1.65[/Strike]
Never understand the above one. Ibuprofen tablets instead.
[Strike]1 x Young's Gastro Basa Fillets in Lemon and Herb Temp... £3.00 £3.00[/Strike]
Wouldn't have got these at this price. It is avail vs M, but I saw them in A recently at £2.00 each (and bought them £4.00 S vs £2.00 A at that time!:D)
[Strike]1 x Young's Gastro Lightly Seeded Haddock Fillets (2 p... £3.00 £3.99[/Strike] There's better options.
[Strike]1 x Radox Bath Therapy - Sleep Easy (500ml) £1.00 £1.00[/Strike] The alternatives are many.
[Strike]1 x Clover (500g) £1.50 £2.00 [/Strike] 2 x Flora Buttery (500g) £3.90 £1.95 (but this assumes bogofs are picked up when two of the same are bought and unfortunately no other products in the bogof at M)
[Strike]1 x Walkers Doritos Cool Original (200g) £1.00 £1.98
1 x Walkers Doritos Chilli Heatwave (200g) £1.00 £1.98
1 x Walkers Monster Munch Variety (14x25g) £2.00 £3.59
1 x Walkers Wotsits Really Cheesy Corn Puffs (14x17g) £2.00 £3.59[/Strike]
See the many options on my list.
[Strike]1 x Paxo Sage & Onion Stuffing (85g) £0.54 £0.47[/Strike]
1 x ASDA Smartprice Sage & Onion Stuffing (85g) £0.15 £0.15
[Strike]1 x Bisto Best Rich & Roasted Beef Gravy (200g) £1.89 £1.64[/Strike] Other options
[Strike]1 x Uncle Ben's Express Savoury Chicken Rice (250g) £1.00 £1.59
1 x Uncle Ben's Express Mixed Pepper Rice (250g) £1.00 N/A[/Strike]
UB when it glitched.
[Strike]2 x Kingsmill 50/50 Thick Sliced Bread (800g) £2.00 £2.70[/Strike]
Would have bought on whoops - got to be some, even if not the same as this one, that fit well enough as alternatives.
[Strike]1 x [/Strike]2 x Listerine Freshburst Antibacterial Mouthwash (500m... [Strike] £3.00 £3.30[/Strike] £8.00 £5.00 (waiting for m'buy glitch day - otherwise £6.00 £5.00 - but let me check it is this version of the Listerine - also would have used earlier try us or your money back and not be having to buy now)
[Strike]1 x Malibu Caribbean White Rum with Coconut (1L) £12.00 £19.99[/Strike] See my list
[Strike]1 x George Gale & Co. Damson Country Wine (700ml) £6.50 N/A{/Strike] Ditto
[Strike] 1 x [/Strike] 2 x Alberto Balsam Shampoo - Limited Edition Mandarin ... [Strike]£1.00 £1.00[/Strike] £2.00 £1.50
[Strike]1 x [/Strike] 2 x Alberto Balsam Limited Edition Mandarin Conditione... [Strike]£1.00 £1.00[/Strike] £2.00 £1.50
Or other shampoos/conditioners - may have glitches/triggers - need to check first whether the Alberto are the right ones - M 4 for £3.
[Strike]1 x Eat Natural Gluten Free Toasted Muesli Vine Fruit ... £2.98 N/A[/Strike]
[Strike]1 x Eat Natural Free from Yoghurt Coated Almond & Apri... £1.98 £1.99
1 x Eat Natural Gluten Free Bars Brazils Sultanas Almo... £1.98 £1.99
1 x Eat Natural Gluten Free Bars Cranberries, Macadami... £1.98 £1.99[/Strike] Should have been bought earlier in the year when they appeared on my Avs M list! Or should have got other cereal bars at 2p in A.
[Strike]1 x Cadbury Crunchie (4x40g) £1.00 £1.79[/Strike] Other 4 pack chocs at £1.00 in M - or 1p/2p chocs in T!
[Strike]1 x Dietary Specials Yorkshire Puddings (8 per pack - ... £2.00 £1.85[/Strike]
Now A SP Yorkshire Puddings (15) vs T, or 3 x ASDA Giant Yorkshire Pudding as per my list.
[Strike]1 x Kellogg's Crunchy Nut Cornflakes (1Kg) £3.46 N/A[/Strike]
1 x Kellogg's Cornflakes (750g) £2.00 £2.00
1 x Kellogg's Crunchie Nut Cornflakes (500g) £2.68 £2.00
(I may have this slightly wrong, as not v. good prices to me - Kellogg's Cornflakes 750g with TCB Snap & Save a little back, comparing to M's 2 for £4 mix and match. Would get at other times though, and maybe vs others!
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Teatime Treat Cherry Bakewell T... £1.80 N/A[/Strike]
(2 x ASDA Chosen by You Teatime Treat Cherry Bakewell Tarts £2.00 £1.50 - vs Sains.!!)
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Freshly Frozen Petits Pois (1Kg... £1.75 £1.75[/Strike]
1 x ASDA Smartprice Peas (1kg) £0.98 £0.99
[Strike]2 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Extra Tasty Whole Chicken... £8.00 N/A[/Strike] Search out other options
[Strike]2 x ASDA Mini Cheese & Onion Rolls (9) £2.50 N/A[/Strike]
?? Probably buy at T:eek: when T have a 3 for 2 on. Or may as well take up the multibuy on the 6 pack rolls - 2 for £2.50 - as same price as that paid. Would need to check this more though (vs M? and others?)
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Creamy Coleslaw (600g) £1.00 N/A[/Strike]
3 x ASDA Smartprice Coleshaw (250g) £0.75 £0.75
1 x ASDA Smartprice Fragrance Free Baby Wipes (80) £0.51 £0.51
Seems okay, as comparing to M's version which is 72 wipes. However, M have some of their baby range on RTC - so may be best getting in M as APG does not compare vs RTC prices. May be other items in M though - in which case keep this - or buy the Sains Little Ones non-comp ones in S as I think they are slightly cheaper (can fill towards a £20:eek: BM shop spend).
[Strike]1 x ASDA Meal for Two Hunter's Chicken (380g) £2.00 £3.53[/Strike] Not this vs M!
[Strike]1 x Asda Chosen by You Grape, Pomegranate & Raspberry ... £1.33 N/A[/Strike] Other fruits have been available better.

[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Pineapple, Orange & Coconut Jui... £1.33 N/A[/Strike]
Why not get Pineapple & Coconut Sunpride 1L version - T 69p - or Svs T as one of the few comparable versions of Sunpride stocked in both S and T!
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Orange Squash Double Strength w... £1.49 £1.49[/Strike]
Lots of options have previously been available: Jucee Orange Squash 3L vs M when M was on half price. Other 3L brand in A for £1.00. Robinsons Avs ..?? when glitching or with MOCs etc.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Oaty Crumbles (300g) £0.65 N/A[/Strike]
McVities when glitching and vs half prices that were then on elsewhere.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Strong & Absorbent Kitchen Towels - 60 Sheets... £1.18 £1.19[/Strike]
Flair (false economy??) or 2 Roll 100 sheets each vs S last week.
2 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Smoked Back Bacon Rashers... £4.00 £4.00
Buy on glitch day! Vs M is best.

[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Tuna & Sweetcorn Sandwich Fille... £1.00 £1.17[/Strike] Better options available, would need looking into
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Smoked Haddock & Cheddar Fishca... £1.50 N/A[/Strike] Probably should be others vs M. Or Young's Fishcakes (frozen) (12) £2.00 £2.00
[Strike]1 x ASDA Antibacterial Fabric Freshener Orange Flower ... £1.15 N/A[/Strike] Get rid! Others on glitches or RTCs.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Smoked Bacon Medallions (... £2.55 N/A[/Strike] Already got 2 x 300g bacon. Why more?
[Strike]2 x ASDA Mushroom Stir Fry with Beansprouts, Cabbage, ... £2.00 N/A[/Strike]

1 x Aldi Funsize Apples (7) 69p
[Strike]1 x ASDA Cherry Tomatoes (350g) £1.00 N/A[/Strike]
Different pack size now in A, so revert to old one from M straight at 50p - or probably better SP tomatoes pack vs T's previous 69p price, now expired:(.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Toffee Cake Slices (6) £1.00 N/A
1 x ASDA Chosen by You Country Cake Slices (6) £1.00 N/A[/Strike]
2 x ASDA Lemon Bakewells, for example, others may be avail.
vs 2 for £1.80 in M. Or cake slices on whoops. Or vs special offers as and when they appear elsewhere.
[Strike]1 x ASDA Chosen by You Quiche Lorraine (400g) £2.00 £2.29[/Strike] Individual Quiche Lorraines cheaper in A. Or Avs T in 2s (should be Avs S 2 for £3 but seems not to be compared on MSM.co.uk:().
[Strike]1 x ASDA Cheese & Tomato Quiche (400g) £2.00 N/A[/Strike] See SP version on my Avs M list.

[Strike]1 x Tic Tac Fresh Mint (4x18g) £1.45 £1.45[/Strike] Bought when M (or others) are £1. Or at T when A was 90p.
[Strike]2 x Colgate Total Advanced Clean Toothpaste Tube (75ml... £3.00 £3.00p[/Strike] Get the Oral B versions together with the trigger!!!

Numerous ideas of other APDs/triggers have been on these Elite threads.

Savvy's 'plaything':D:D:rotfl: (now finished!)

Of course you may say that these different products are not equivalent and are worse versions that don't meet your needs, however this is looking at it from money-saving perspective.

The point is that a lot of the alternatives I've suggested are Avs M and, with only some tweaking on each of them, mostly this shop would not require to be done as different shops and most could still be Avs M! (Some indeed, of the alternative suggestions, are only available on APG vs M.)

*Do not buy at T as they do not compare.

It's getting sadder and sadder, youngest son comes up to me and asks, 'how are we going to watch Top gear', I replied, 'you'll have to watch it on your tv (32"). It's not the same, he said, and went off in a right strop, he's 17!!!:rotfl:
