    Well - I knew I was going to be the first sucker:rotfl::rotfl::mad::mad::mad::( to try this out.

    Only I could do a shop like this and royally mess it up, after managing to lose most of the first £10 voucher (off the wsl £30) due to the amounts I would have made on items had I bought them in A and 10% off, due to items having to buy to reach the £30 and due to a larger size of Horlicks going on offer the following week in M and losing a lot of money (pro rata) compared to if I'd bought that on Avs M at the appropriate time. Plus the loss on the Persil Bio in a later shop etc. etc.

    Just tried the T price gamble.. and lost:(. So - they have the final laugh once more - grrr!!:mad::mad::( Ah well, I shan't be spending as much as I would have next time. Expecting £1.75, but the PP came back with nought pounds, 75p.

    No Chicken Sandwich in my store, so I was 'forced' to use the Hot Dog, which I thought might not work (Rustlers been in and out of stock in M and Hot Dog now back as 'special purchase' at £1).

    Didn't expect the following though - it flipped to the comp. vs A, with the Hot Dog - actually being picked up:mad: - with M at the £2.00 price. The price of 34p for Morries on the Table Salt is incorrect too - that is the price in M last week, it is now 25p. In case this helps anyone with fillers etc...

    We checked the price of all the comparable items in your basket with Asda, Sainsbury's and Morrisons and found that:

    Asda was £0.75 less
    Sainsburys was £0.21 more
    Morrisons was £0.67 less

    Qty Item Description Tesco Asda Sainsbury's Morrisons*
    1x KP HULA HOOPS FAMILY 7 EX FREE 14X25G £1.75 £1.00 £1.90 £1.00
    1x T. EDAY VALUE RICH TEA 300G £0.23 n/a £0.30 n/a

    Tesco comparable total £2.19 £2.92 £4.45
    Competitor shop total £1.44 £3.13 £3.78
    The difference £0.75 -£0.21 £0.67
    cost less cost more cost less

    n/a Comparable Grocery Product match could not be found on the day of purchase

    † This item is part of a multibuy promotion. The price shown above is the price
    after the multibuy promotion has been applied.

    * Morrisons does not have stores in Northern Ireland. As a result, the Tesco Price
    Promise only applies to Asda and Sainsbury’s in Northern Ireland.


    I'll stick to A (once again having resolved to do that last time) - the figures speak for themselves: My successes in A - 8 £2 GCs in the past two months. My success with T: the one small DTD I got two years ago, that I then lost most of by putting on a shop where the rival was more expensive. I'll leave it to the experts to do on this.

    The Savers Rich Tea Biscuits are 23p in M. The Savers Sponge Scourers have also been back for a number of weeks in M - price 19p. Note the A SP Potatoes tin is non-comparable Avs M.
