If I people into a secret (or what was a secret, no longer is immediately after this:D), I was one submitting info. into that DTD spreadsheet (remember that, those of you who were around in 2011?) - if I remember it rightly, it was the weekend the day before the spreadsheet creators said they'd received so many inputs into it and been overwhelmed that they had to stop approving them all and let them in unamended. Well, most of that I suspect was due to me - I had been working right through the a.com website and finding items that were cheaper in T than A every 3 seconds! (So, now you know.)

Sometimes it was - although 3 seconds is a bit of exaggeration it was sometimes not far off! I was, at one stage, finding one after another after another. And to give the impression they were cheaper than A:(:rotfl:. Of course back then I was just looking at anything at all that was cheaper in A and not even looking at whether it was good price by weight or not - with doubling of the difference it didn't really matter did it?!!!:D:) My Easter Sunday that year was spent finding items that were cheaper in Mr A, I remember it was after T had failed to compare on them as A had pulled them off their website, yet they were there, cheaper in A, immediately before my shopping - that became the source of a dispute between me and T that never got resolved, was never given anything at all from it and I've hated them ever since. I now shop there as rarely as possible and solely and always with the intention of making a profit on any very limited thing I might buy. Conditional spends do not work with me as, even after them, I would still be paying anything at all to T and thus making a loss! So - bog off!:p:p:p:rotfl::(:rotfl:

None of them are cheaper than anywhere else. They'll all more expensive than each other on items on which another has on promotional offer.

Note that this womble (shop done yesterday evening (29/5)), is comparing like this. Says £1.00 on the Frazzles on msm, but note they are currently a no-go:

12 items (11 different) on your bill qualify for comparison Morrisons

1 x ASDA Pure Orange Juice from Concentrate with Juicy...£0.78£1.00

1 x Diet Coke Cherry (8x330ml)£2.64£2.64
Comparison total (compared products only)£15.51£19.35

Not best pleased by those Rich Tea Creams appearing on the comp. either and comparing to much higher price vs M, when they are OOS 'globally' (i.e. signed out) on msm. Not that it would have made any difference.

Stop trying to get me to buy some lovely sponge pudding vs M. No, I must resist seeing the womble result and the possibility of the Spotted !!!!!! as a filler vs M, even if it is bigger than the branded versions and therefore 'good value'. I must resist that!:):(:(

No (or rather yes:rotfl:), the spreadsheet was outside of MSE although linked from one of the forums on here back in that day. I was a bit nervous to post online properly back then! So...phew!!... I'm totally legit!:)

So, there you are: that explains why some of the stuff on the spreadsheet and the devious methods of buying certain numbers was so confusing and hard to understand!:D:D
