Elsie bought 12 the same, which cost £6 and gave an APG of £4.30.

11 + 1 would give a slightly higher APG as 10 of the 11 would compare for £4.30, and the odd one would also give a small APG depending on the price difference.

You beat me to it Chris... Still catching up as been away for a few mins..... oh, thanks for this, lloks like i'm STILL learning. Was worried about getting an odd one as I didn't want to 'mess it up' :rotfl:

Sounds like the same useless store as one of my stores - a quite large superstore as well but, no, no Bakewell Tarts.

Regarding the Washing Powder, you want the Colour one vs T. The sensitive one (which shows prices for A and S on msm) is, as has been mentioned, outside the weight range for APG comp. (Nevertheless that doesn't seem to have stopped the 400g I Can't Believe It's Not Butter (ICBINB) glitching - not in our favour - vs M despite M's being 500g: comparing £1 A vs £1.32 for M on the APG as at tonight. So do watch for the occasional ones outside of the range in M that sometimes get picked up, sometimes favourably and sometimes not. In the meantime, don't put ICBINB 400g on a Morries comp. - or indeed on any comp or any shopping at all as £1 for 400g is way too dear.)

Where was I? Oh, the washing powders. Yeah, the CBY Colour 2.4kg should compare vs something like £2.72 for T (better than the £3.00 price for Sains. on its 2kg on the sensitive version). Also, as T's is slightly larger in size than A's, this reduces the actual price it should compare to as well.

(Of course this is all in pure money-saving terms, and totally ignores that you might need the Sensitive washing powder specifically for some reason.)

As I was reading through your comment, what you wrote at the end was going through my mind.... but you being you savvy, 'the one that thinks of everything', you sussed it. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi there, present-wrapping night tonight (in theory) so can't spend all the time here.
Many thanks for the comparison details. As far as the Bakers dog foods are concerned, that £1 price (less 10%) for that small amount of gs. is sadly too expensive for me, especially as the 2 for £3 mbuy has returned as it should (but really, for our purposes, shouldn't). :mad::mad:- I'd only consider comparing vs £1s if the mbuy didn't show and the items came back with full prices:rotfl:.
I've dissected that womble, as you can see!, noticing they bought four 4pt milks and thus made M more expensive:(.

Well, it's nearly Christmas which means... expensive prices everywhere!!:(:mad::mad: So much so that I cancelled B'matching Sains to anyone (or even buying anything in S) - certainly wasn't going to match them to those expensive Mr A 'savvy buy' prices. Nor did much in T, that I haven't got before, take my attention. I need a price incr in Sains. on the 4 pack BE Crispy Chickens, T due to stay on £1.62 till near the end of the year but Sains. at £1.62 is no good to me.

Looking at Mr M's website (me trying to see if they have a Budweiser I have on a womble - if it's on offer this week, I'll delay the receipt, if it might be up in price and possibly on offer last week, I'll enter straight away - seems like it's an N/A vs everywhere) - m.co.uk appears to have just a very select few items per 'shelf' now on the offers - and some of the prices: :eek:!!

A pack of fresh 750g Sprouts for £1:eek::eek:. (Aldi currently have 750g Sprouts pack at 69p:T. Also 1.5kg Carrots pack at that price.)

There are some good items though - Jacob's Biscuits for Cheese 250g to go on at possibly 10% off 94p (I say 'to go on', as need to wait for APG to update) - under 40p/100g for M's substantive price is a good price per unit. Also Q.S Matchmakers (130g) - £1 r'back may have been a rip-off price - now 95p in M, beware they don't appear to be on msm now, so won't compare on APG. But, just in case they should be on an mbuy offer in A - perhaps 2 for £3:rotfl::rotfl:- this is a long-shot but never know - watch for any mix and match item that is on offer elsewhere.

Fairy 870ml Original or Lemon washing up £1.33 - that's a reasonable non-glitched price for that amount of Fairy - best price I've seen since W's 2 for £2 offer of ages ago. So they may be Avs M fairly soon.

As for the 'Savvy Buys' on msm - :(. 4 pack of Pink Lady Apples in Sains. are now a 'Savvy Buy'. What - are they £1 now (with a glitchy mbuy on A)? No - Sains. any 2 for £3:(:eek:. Avoid.

So:

Aldi
Sprouts 750g 69p
Carrots 1.5kg 69p

Lidl
500g Parsnips 39p
Whole Cucumber 45p (in abs. of any major rival of A daring to go down to match A's price on them - price 'locked' in A at 50p:(). Also apparently Cucumber at 45p in Aldi according to msm.

And from the result from womble today (Northern Ireland skip to the next post) - the receipt was very soiled, so I'm pleased it came back with nothing:(.

Avs W
1x Go-Cat Complete with Tuna Herring and Added Vegetables (825g) £2.00 £1.83

Avs M
1x Huggies Soft Skin Wipes with Shea Butter (64) £1.00 £1.00
1x ASDA UHT Real Cream Aerosol (250ml) £1.10 £1.00 (though don't know from this whether best buying 2 - M has sometimes been 2 for £1.50 on its aerosol cream)

Thank you!:)

thank you for the list.....it will help lots x

Yes Elsie, 11+1 gives a slightly better APG than 12 the same, but don't buy any less than 11 the same or the 12 for £6 offer will be picked up by the comparison site.
