    Felt obliged since i was scrounging info :o

    I ain't very sympathetic either so it easier just to stay out the way especially since i have either no time because of work or loads because i'm off.

    I'm not all that chatty anyway but when i have a purpose i can involve myself :)

    Don't know what your PP has compared to Basildon, but thanks for posting. You have lost out but it's also a warning to others of what not to buy

    Oh...

    My Avs M shop has flipped to Avs T:(. Have I got the wrong Flora??
    I thought Flora Light 1kg at £1.15 for M was a glitch price. This seems to have been the Monday collection result, but it seems it has now updated correctly on the Wednesday result.

    All three of these Campbells though compare to M at 50p, and use with 20p coupons.

    9 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Morrisons

    +£0.90CheaperSignBlue.gif
    0.2 x ASDA Bananas per kg£0.13£0.13
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Irish Stew Mutton with Potatoes, C...£0.49£0.49
    1 x Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (294g)£0.90£0.50
    1 x Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (295g)£0.75£0.50
    1 x Campbell's Condensed Cream of Tomato Soup (295g)£0.75£0.50
    1 x Flora Light Spread (1Kg)£2.98£2.98:eek:
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Pork Pies (4 per pack - 440g)£1.05£1.05
    1 x ASDA Rocket Lollies (8x58ml)£1.00£1.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Low Fat Yogurts (4x125g)£0.33£0.33
    Comparison total£8.38£7.48

    So instead it's given me £1.65 vs T using this result:

    Why £1.65?

    7 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Tesco

    1 x Campbell's Condensed Cream of Tomato Soup (295g)£0.75£0.75
    1 x Flora Light Spread (1Kg)£2.98£2.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Pork Pies (4 per pack - 440g)£1.05£1.05
    1 x ASDA Rocket Lollies (8x58ml)£1.00N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Low Fat Yogurts (4x125g)£0.33N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only)£7.05£6.12

    So, win some, lose some. Lost there on the APG. But - I can now go mad on those Campbells (particularly the one I like more) vs M on a shop [Strike]tomorrow[/Strike] later on today:T.
