    What a lovely post from mummyvb and vanilla twist. This is truly a great thread! I don't contribute as much as I would like as I am not very good at finding glitches like some clever posters on here.

    Did manage to get 2 jumbo roll smart price at asda rtc for 59p - filled my trolley but not enough to make a car model! Also got a few of cushelle toilet rolls - thanks to who posted this.
    Moved on to tesco and got some loppers for 2.50, a weeder for 62p, 6 jf and 2 vitmo. When i got to checkout lovely sa just scanned one jf and obviously scanned one too many. I also had a pack of shreddies 1.24 and bill came to under £2! Had lovely doughnut courtesy of greggs for my pudding tonight. Good money saving day - but left the hot water tank on since last night which I usually switch on and off when I want hot water. I wonder when all the cooler bags are going to be reduced - i remember getting loads a few years back in the middle of summer - I really need some new smaller ones. i put them in the washing machine but they have seen better days. Really dont want to buy new ones with only 25 per cent off - only do 75 per cent or more! loved the story about the seagull savvy sal!

    Each? :eek:

    I thought these went to 2p? They were educed to 30p when i stocked up and i thought they were only 60p to begin with :huh:

    1) wont compare

    think I got the wrong wine :(

    This is the one I got
    TESCO FINEST GRENACHE SYRAH 75CL

    and could only use the pie moc till wouldn't accept finest so took it to CS


    Its GARNACHA - A Spanish Red with a white main label and a small black label on the front with a red squiggle that looks a bit like an infinity sin turned sideways. Also says 'Old Vine Selection' in small gold letters.

    Do not confuse this with the GRENACHE - you may have to look in the wine section as its not always in the Meal Deal fridge.

    I saw the 'Flora £2 at Morrisons' on Martin's article :money: about the Tesco fuel promo & as I will save the £1.80 difference on the cost of my fuel at the pump the Mr T's PP was to be a bonus.

    However my PP results have come back as N/A & customer services are refusing to refund the difference without a 'screenshot'

    Unfortunately I can't find any internet reference to this deal apart from amongst MSE forumites :(

    Anyone had any success with this on the Price promise ?

    i reported on here on Tuesday night that it came back as N/A even though i had seen it in Morrisons for £2 while stocks last earlier that day

    Thank you, everyone on here for your help. Trekked to large ASDA and did two shops:

    9 items on your bill qualify for comparison ASDA Sainsbury's
    +£6.50 (voucher was for £7.50)

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Chopped Tomatoes (400g) £0.31 £0.31
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Red Kidney Beans in Water (400g) £0.27 £0.21
    0.06 x ASDA Carrots £0.05 £0.05
    0.16 x ASDA Onions £0.13 N/A
    1 x Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Cleansing Lotion (200m... £3.30 £1.64
    1 x J2O Orange & Passion Fruit Juice Drink (4x275ml) £3.50 £2.14
    1 x J2O Pear Gold (4x275ml) £3.50 £2.14
    1 x Nivea Creme (200ml) £2.78 £1.39
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (410g) £0.25 £0.24

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Garden Peas in Water (300g) £0.20 N/A
    1 x Elizabeth Shaw Mint Crisp Dark Chocolate (175g) £2.50 £1.84

    Used J2O mocs though sorry the multibuy showed up, used Elizabeth Shaw moc, got £4.92 cashback on MSL for the Nivea, so very pleased -- though this is more than I expected. Anyone know why? Trying to find veg which was cheaper in Sains made me realise how expensive Sains is!

    13 items (10 different) on your bill qualify for comparison ASDA Tesco
    +£8.07 (voucher was for £8.98)

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Chopped Tomatoes (400g) £0.31 £0.31
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Red Kidney Beans in Water (400g) £0.27 £0.21
    1 x ASDA Baby New Potatoes with Herbs & Butter (360g) £1.10 £0.39
    1 x Lypsyl Cold Sore Gel (3g) £2.93 £0.50

    0.26 x ASDA Courgettes £0.42 £0.42
    1 x Kingsmill Really Seeded Bread (800g) £1.00 £0.50
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce (410g) £0.25 £0.24

    1 x ASDA Smartprice Garden Peas in Water (300g) £0.20 N/A
    1 x Cushelle Toilet Tissue White - 180 Sheets per Roll... £2.18 £1.78
    4 x Soft & Gentle Body Responsive Antiperspirant Deodo... £4.00 £0.80
    1 x Flora Pro Activ Buttery Spread (500g) £3.76 £3.00


    Comparison total (compared products only) £16.22 £8.15

    Was delighted that the Lypsyl worked so well, everything else is not new though the kidney beans are a useful filler which also gives some money back. Used a pro activ moc and Cushelle moc (didn't have a £1 one left but used a 50p one). Got £1.39 MSL cashback though I shall query that as it said it would be 50% and that isn't 50%! On second thoughts, may not query it as they might look at the other shop and reduce it. Will do sums and think about it...

    I hope this helps someone.

    Did I get the wrong J2O for it to show the multibuy please?
