    Any page 3 girls about??:)

    I'll transfer this (maybe the other way - Avs T - soon), I don't think the list below has changed much - I've added a few more items though - although about three of the offers in T (we hope N/A for A) are expiry date 18/6:

    [Edit: If you are getting the Emmi Caffe Latte with MOC for free product, it could be one of your 10 items in a comparison vs A, as A don't stock? Just so you don't have to pay T for any one extra item to make the 10 by putting Cafe Latte on a sep.shop - should be good - nay very good - to put on Tvs A shopping as a 'free' filler - MOC making it free - and then can remove one item from your Tvs A shopping that you didn't really need that was making the numbers up. In effect you can then treat the Emmi as being paid to take it away - being paid the cost of the product you are no longer having to buy (and better than having to reach £20 spend in Sains. - but T now not cheaper than Sains. so no good for brand match!) Also could be okay for Svs A, or Svs T as they're already price-matched (but need to reach that £20!).]

    Tvs A 15/6/13

    Check a.com as prices may change/items may be unavailable etc. or conversely may become available. Do not buy items that are marked as comparing N/A if T has increased its price from that shown (unless the SEL still has that lower price - then DTD!).

    Also - don't newspapers for example count towards the 10 on the PP? They are, inevitably, same price everywhere - they appear on the PP comparisons despite, or perhaps because of, comparing N/A (which is neutral effect) - but it seems these items count (perhaps a cheap 10p newspaper if available, each different title one item) as does your bag re-use CC point.

    @ But I'll probably stop, if T ever reduces its price to match A's, as then it would have been cheaper to buy Avs T for 45p minus 10%.

    # Other items baby section are in the 3 for 2 - I'd check msm.co.uk - click on "3 for 2" against the product's price to view the full products, see which ones have no equivalent available in A or where A is >10% cheaper and are not cheaper elsewhere etc. Mix and matching could mean 3 (or more) different items. Double-check on a.com
