    Good evening:D. A surprise potential voucher vs Morries - thank goodness the shopper bought only items that weren't 10% cheaper!

    1 x Bisto Roast Beef Dinner (400g)£2.00£2.00
    1 x Walkers Crisps - Classic Variety (20x25g)£3.00£3.00
    1 x Roberts Bakery Medium Sliced White Bread (800g)£1.35N/A
    2 x ASDA Lemon Sponge Cake£2.00N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Cooked Ham (125g)£0.65£0.61
    2 x ASDA Hero Dental Chews with Pumice (7 per pack - 1...£1.58N/A
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Tuna & Sweetcorn Sandwich Fille...£1.00N/A
    2 x ASDA Smartprice Fish Fingers (10 per pack - 250g)£1.20£1.20
    1 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Pork Chops (720g)£4.00N/A
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Battered Cod Fillets (4 per pac...£2.00£2.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Sausages (20 per pack - 907g)£0.99N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Yorkshire Puddings (15 per pack - ...£0.49£0.49
    2 x ASDA Chosen by You Oven Cook Roast Potatoes (1.1Kg...£2.00£2.20
    2 x Domestos Total Blast Toilet Gel Citrus Fresh (700m...£2.00N/A

    The Bisto Roast Dinner comparing vs M for about the first time, FWIW. Also compares vs T and vs S at £2. The Battered Cod good vs M too (surrounded by "I'm cheaper £2.50" signs on other types of cod and haddock in the frozen section in Mr M:rotfl::eek:). SP Yorkshires good vs M!:T Shame the Pork Chops are fixed weight and don't compare against M's variable weight ones that are £4/kg, that do include sizes that are around 720g, it would have been £2.88 if they had bought that size in M!:rotfl::rotfl::wall:
    So, another significant overpayment there!

    Look at Sainsbobs price on the Walkers Crisps:eek::eek:
    1 x Walkers Crisps - Classic Variety (20x25g)£3.00£5.00
    Just to put that £5 (and indeed that £3) into context - my price on 24 pack previously when glitched was £1.25. Of course we were getting 2x14 (=28) at £1.80 recently. Just puts that £3 into context - let alone the £5:eek:.

    Bit of a difference between £3 for 20 and £1.80 for 28 (price no longer available - expiry date on my crisps - September 2014:T).

    Just thinking about this, with living standards apparently the 'average' person is about 8% worse off than 2010. Well, since I started using the APG after that date, and now get 10% - and indeed far more, given that I now only shop when really low priced - I used to mix up my shopping and buy some things at full price:eek: like these muggles - I don't feel I am worse off. Thanks to MSE, I've avoided the living standards crisis that every other family that doesn't follow the Elite way is feeling. If anything, I've had a very nice and rather huge deflation on my shopping. So, many thanks!:T:T

    You have to do everything in your armoury to beat these supermarket tricks though!

    Am I happy with those Domestos? (2 for £2 cleaning offer usually losing out massively vs elsewhere but N/A there vs M.):think: Well, no, not really:
    2 x Domestos Total Blast Toilet Gel Citrus Fresh (700m...£2.00£2.00
    Vs T.

    Lost 20p there:(:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Vs M
    1 x Hartley's Low Calorie Mango & Passion Fruit Jelly ...£0.50£0.50
    1 x Hartley's Low Calorie Orange Jelly (175g)£0.50N/A

    A couple of Hartley jelly pots missing from the comparison here. 4 for £1 on receipt. Ones on receipt are - actually I can see the missing ones - they are both the same: the above bought with 2x B/C...416313..

    So, one trigger.

    But...did it help me on that womble?























    No..cos they bought these beggars:mad::

    3 x Heinz Beef Ravioli in Tomato Sauce (400g)£1.50£2.85

    And this horrid item too:

    1 x Nivea Sun Moisturising Sun Spray SPF 15 (200ml)£2.50£5.00
    (Prices vs M.)

    S/P Ravioli cheaper than Heinz, so avoid the Heinz, but S/P Ravioli has had price increase in the last year (and never returned back to the original 35p price), so avoid!

    Time to be buying all the winter stuff now!;)
  • Think I may have found a trigger in the '5 for £4' Porridge Pots deal. At the moment it is probably only of interest to those who buy the 'Weetabix on the go' breakfast drinks.

    So, here goes.. Search for Krave on A.com and this is one of the items that comes up.

    b8logm.jpg

    Click on the '5 for £4' link and it takes you to the offer but you cannot see the Krave in the offer. If you search for the Krave on msm you will not find it either so I reckon it might be a trigger.

    Buy 1 x Krave and 4 x any of Weetabix Vanilla, Strawberry or Chocolate and they should compare like..

    1xe8n.jpg

    So, if things go to plan you will get 3 comparing £4.14 v £3 and 1 at £1.38 v £1.39, so an apg for £1.57 and 5 porridge pots for £2.43.

    Not amazing and not tested, but not too shabby if you use them and good for A v T and A v W shops.
