I can:D. There's that white space there, that you've managed to quote. (Very interesting!:):rotfl::rotfl:)
Just heard that T are putting the price of 4pt milk (I know not which one(s)) down from £1.39 to £1. What - from any 3 for £3 to £1 each?:wall:
Just for pure interest, here is the formal result from my Sainsbobs shop that I did yesterday:
QTY Item Description

3 Bag Re-Use 20/05/09- Upc1685350 Non-comparable Non-comparable
1 Frijj Strawberry 471Ml £0.70 £0.50
1 Princes Pink Salmon 213G £2.70 £1.25
1 Mcvities Breakfast Red Berries 300G £2.29 £1.00
1 Ricola Original Soothing Lozenges X10 £0.36 Non-comparable
1 Philadelphia Light 300G £2.50 £1.00
1 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash 500Ml £4.50 £2.00
2 Hz Spaghetti In Tomato Sauce 4X400g £5.00 [Strike]£4.52[/Strike] £3.00 Multibuy
1 Weight Watchers Toffee Sponge 2X100g £2.00 £1.00
Your receipt total was: £20.05 N/A
Spend on comparable branded products (before deductions): £19.69 £11.27
Deductions (from multibuys): −£0.00 −£1.52
Total spend on comparable branded goods: £19.69 £9.75
The difference was:
£9.94 Coupon Issued
£9.94 Cheaper
Sains. do indeed deduct the mbuys, but they're often at A or T on my shops:rotfl:.
I've figured if I need to get another L mouthwash (any Total Care will do but not the 95ml) I might get another 500ml one in Mr T with 9 different 10p items, so not having to spend £20. (Could go with meal deal vs A for others of you, perhaps with cond.spends off too?) There's a 'try me' offer with MBG should I take the challenge and not like the mouthwash - goes off price paid on the receipt(s). Just needing A to maintain that £2 price so wish us luck!
What, with me going to Sains and A's being cheaper, I decided to go along to A instead today. And my shopping turned out would have been cheaper at Sains.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::
