CARLING LAGER 36 CANS FOR £20 @ ASDA (INCLUDES 3 FREE NOW TV SKY SPORTS PASSES WORTH £20.97)

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/carling-lager-36-cans-for-20-asda-includes-3-free-now-tv-sky-sports-passes-worth-2029809

36 cans at £20!:eek::eek::eek:_pale__pale_:rotfl:

As opposed to guide price of £10 on 20 pack cans and then 10% cheaper = £9 as £10 would be found at a competitor. Albeit that this sort of offer is not on at the moment, but then... I wait until it is!

Normal price for me would therefore be 40 cans at £18 total. I note the "free" Sky Sports passes. As this is overcharged, compared to my best deal on 20 pack cans (two of which would give 4 cans more, and yes they are all 440ml cans) by £2 and giving you 4 fewer cans, it's therefore a cost of... gets calculator out:o:o...do, do, do...

36 cans at £20:eek:. Is 5.555...p per can. Compared to 20 cans for £9 (including APG, less cost of items you would already be buying (and therefore cost-neutral) as part of comparison vs whichever competitor, probably T or M, goes back onto £10), is 4.5p per can. Meaning that 36 would be nominally £16.20. You are paying £20, therefore cost for the "free" Sky Sports thing is £4.80:eek::eek:. Not free at all. (Or, alternatively, treat that as the passes being worth only £16.17 rather than that inflated price, as you are paying £4.80 towards them by the overpayment on the beer compared to my best pricing, assuming that the passes are "worth" £20.97 anywhere in the first place. £20.97-£4.80 overpayment makes them "worth" £16.17 for the purposes of this offer, as you're losing £4.80 rather than "saving" £20.97 (and, as mentioned, that assumes that £20.97 is a reasonable or realistic price for the passes). So, in true style of the supermarkets, take the supposed £20.97 "saving" and offset your £4.80 loss against it:rotfl:.)

Many thanks for continuing to post these hotdeals items - they are actually very very useful and do draw my attention to a lot of good offers that I would not have otherwise seen. Therefore, thanks bubbs and please keep posting them!

Even if, on this one occasion, I've torn this one to shreds!:rotfl: (Albeit on basis of pricing not currently available... but then the key is to wait until it is on that better pricing and then...stock up!!!)

Goodnight, FC, DM, VT and savvy.

Need to get some sleep myself.

May have already been reported, but a few RTC in S today - including in the baking section bun cases and little pirate flag type things for cup cakes down to 20p each, Prawns 98p or something around that (wasn't paying enough attention), also found a Mini battery charge down to £2.99 from £10 (think this was reported a while ago but back in stock in my store - Energizer Mini including two batteries).

Couldn't find any of the glitchy items though and assume that has ended anyway?

Thurleigh that was the airfield.

Sorry very random.
Having trouble with mums I pad. It keeps losing the wifi signal and only picks it up if I reboot router.
Now tethered to phone for a bit.
Think I need to use a wifi extender thing. Stupid as never had this problem with samsung tablet, iPhone or smart TV. Really putting me off the idea of getting an iPad at the moment.

No news from sister on Dad today. Will ring Nursing home and check he is starting to settle tomorrow.

What's your name, Savvy?;)


how the Mrs ?:D

:rotfl::rotfl:

I know - there's times when I've popped in on a day without being there on that day until then and as if I've been on there all day. Without saying hello, or even goodbye.

But, then I do make up for that in my failed "goodbyes" (and attempts to leave) sometimes!:cool::rotfl:

Hello, good morning btw!:)

Always prefer that ("good morning") at reasonable hour of just gone midnight rather than ghastly time of 7am:rotfl:.

Coke life is now 2 for £3 in Ts but only £1 in As so could be good for a pp with the bni currys

Coke Lifes were 85p in Morries. (Until they went to 2 for £2.50.)

So, to be my pedantic self again, I don't consider a price-match to £1:eek: to be "good" at all, compared to a price match to (or even a 10% cheaper than) 85p. Or, even, if they could ever be timed at the right moment, best would be 2 for £3 and then full prices £1.98 x2 vs 85p x2. If only that ever came to be...:D:(

So, if it was thought a price match to £1 was good, and even as part of a cond.spend shop, then reduce the value of your cond spend by 14.5p as overcharged by that compared to straight Avs M 85p (without glitch availability) and 10% cheaper earlier. So, if your cond. spend was £3 off £20, it's now only £2.85 and a half off £20.

Then... because Coca Colas were 2L but are now 1.75L, albeit that Coke "Life" (their word of course) was not available under the old range, adjust prices for weight and now £1 costs £1.142857...:eek: (or 85p is really 97.1428...p, and 10% cheaper than it would have been 87.42857...p). The 10% thing from A doesn't even seem to compensate for any of the downsizing.

Arguably, if we took any "Coke 2L" as "the same", then we ought to adjust prices and take the 10% cheaper than 85p off what it would have been if it were 2L as opposed to being the mean, unhappy 1.75L, and then reduce that "loss" from a cond.spend as overpayment in T compared to previous Avs M with 10% (and weight adjustment to what that would have been before, even though it wasn't on at that time - just to show how prices increase over time...). So, 10% cheaper than 85p would be 76.5p compared to T's price match to A at £1 being £1.142857 adjusted by weight (Cokes are now 1.75L in both as opposed to 2L before). Loss of almost 38p:eek:. Per purchase of the same product. So, if you bought maximum 10 in a Tvs A shop, and price match to £1 that is really £1.142857... in old money, a loss of about £3.78:eek:. (10x not quite 38p.) Probably wiping out a cond.spend completely - but then that would be buying 10 bottles.

It's a loss of 38p per bottle nearly isn't it, pricematching T and A on new size as opposed to being old 2L size, having M at 85p on that and then A 10% cheaper than M through APG?

Having been a member of this thread ( and the previous ones ) since 2011 and the DTD start I am a bit perplexed about something. I am back at work now so don't get so much time to take part. However am I doing something wrong in asking a question now and again about a glitch? It seems whenever I ask I get lots of thanks but no replies. I only asked about Extra Long Kitchen Towels and Erasers this and seem to be being ignored. Bit confused. I know I am not on here on a daily basis as RL gets in the way.

Sure you have been answered by now but if no answer is forthcoming it is now assumed the people currently online do not know the answer. This saves the thread moving quickly due to 'sorry I don't know' posts.

CC from earlier today mostly as expected.
Udi's working only 4/10 delivered £1 each on invoice. :money:
Puff pastry mince pies now in stock (comps as expected)

Was expecting pregnacare to compare to £7.20 as 3f2 and £4 in T, in hindsight this is because it's really a 'buy 3, pay for 2 most expensive' with mixed prices across the mbuy in T. :mad:

v S, T, W
3 x Vitabiotics Pregnacare Original Vitamins (30) £10.00 N/A
v M
3 x Vitabiotics Pregnacare Original Vitamins (30) £10.00 £11.70 match&more :think: cheaper to just muggle them in T or conditional spend :think:

Also v M perhaps useful for Savvy

4 x ASDA Bakery Puff Pastry Mince Pies (4) £4.00 £4.00
1 x Sanex Dermo Invisible Antiperspirant Deodorant Rol... £1.89 £0.94
1 x ASDA Smartprice Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (400g) £0.80 £0.80

1 x ASDA British Skimmed Milk 4 Pints (2.27L) £1.00 £1.39 :think: I see this is 3 for £3, I only bought 2
3 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations - Cookie N... £1.77 N/A
3 x Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations - Banana C... £1.50 £1.86

:eek:Fwiw, these are 40p each until 2/11 in M, but different M's seem so inconsistent with actually putting the right price on these items near the tills and SS areas, that the APG have full price.

The Cookie Nut Crunch are also 40p until 2/11. That was comparing on APG recently, but I notice it has now gone N/A. Probably, again, due to various M stores moving their stock or no longer having stock and items keep coming in and out of M - drives me :mad:!:rotfl:

Fwiw again, I found today (yesterday now) a new Marv. Creations - also apparently at 40p until 2/11:mad::mad::mad::rotfl:. Why has that never been there until today?!?:mad: Grrr!!!:rotfl:

All three are 40p until 2/11, of which two of them:rotfl: are actually priced at that in my M that even actually has the 2/11 offer date showing on the label. It has one other at 59p:(, and the information that that is also 40p until 2/11 has had to be obtained, by me, from a separate store. Which has the one of the others at full price (clearly it isn't as the offer label and product name information is showing in the other store, clearly until 2/11) and the other one not available:(:mad:.

The "new" Creations one is the Jelly & Crunch version. Not sure if that's the one that's available in A as Jelly Popping Candy - I don't recall its packaging saying that on it but Jelly Crunch. If it is the same, then what the A will return is completely anyone's guess, given that they are probably having as much difficulty as I am in getting the right price from the SELs in various Ms. Probably three of them vs T at 3 for £1.20. Although that's not really a good price (thus the 40p each is itself not very good) as not part of 3 for £1, one no-show and 2 at total of £1.20 vs 80p total elsewhere. That would be the ideal!:rotfl:
