    Back from A (unusual I manage two rounds of shopping on a Sunday, APG from first used on the second, but I did!) - and the tidy-up operation is underway;):rotfl:. Both my earlier vs T list and the receipts.

    Starting with this one, from a shop done yesterday. I knew it would give some return, after seeing a load of SP items on it (the prices of which at all competitors I am well aware:rotfl:), in fact they managed to be more than 10% cheaper vs the competitors, except for one.

    This versus the M comp., gave all of 7p:(. HTH as shows what was comparing. Scourers returning N/A vs M after being briefly OOS a few weeks back. Brown Bread still technically glitching vs M (M's version, like T's and S's, is Wholemeal - comp. shows N/A for T and S), but whoopsies cheaper (or try the Tiger Baguette x2 vs M). Sadly they didn't buy the Round Lettuce on 50p r'back (which would have been N/A vs T, and a little more expensive elsewhere so don't put on non-T shops) but bought the Iceberg instead which is £1.00 elsewhere:eek: - so ended up with nothing vs T, S or W and nearly wiped out anything vs M.

    Dark Choc. sadly returning N/A, but I gather you are getting 17p Chocolate from elsewhere.
    SP Chicken Curry is vs S at same price.
    Black Pepper is 'best' vs M, but A and competitors were 18p and 20p some while ago, so not liking even 26p x 0.9. Variety pack crisps compare vs M (and are showing the same price vs T as well).

    Why £0.07?
