I'd only have to deal with people at the door briefly which would suit me
I was sent a letter with the post codes on along with my £5 LTS voucher for miss delivered post so I have typed them out and can either put them all in a post on here or send them by pm. Just let me know which would be easier for you .:)
Edit: Just seen that I've been beaten to it, the codes have already been posted on here. I'm too slow as I'm unsure of rules and don't want to break rules.0 -

Right, more than 10% cheaper, I'm unhappy with this so - buy anywhere except A! I'm posting the most expensive comparison, vs T, so buy in T! That said, I would suggest the Butternut Squash looks a good comparison to be buying in A and comparing vs T. I notice the Cauliflower has gone back up in price in A - it wasn't that long ago that it went down to 77p (still not cheaper than Morries back then - although Morries now up in price so don't try now) - it seems to me the shortness of time at a particular lower (not necessarily low IMO;)) price indicates the loss leaders - they really don't want them to be at those prices for very long - and, almost certainly, therefore the items that we should be buying, at the competitor, to compare against whoever is at the loss-leading price, and use in conjunction with cond.spends, or with the 10% off, inflating our shopping price as much as possible in order to get the cond.spend (as little as possible over that amount, and preferably absolutely hitting it bang on) - giving these profiteering stores (that's their job Savvy:D) as little money as possible. So, maybe, in that light, with 77p A price on the Cauliflowers not being on too long, perhaps that was quite a good price and therefore, back then but certainly not now, vs M at 65p would have been very good (even if not my preferred 50p or lower).

Sadly the vodka went the wrong way:(.
Vs M
1 x Russian Standard Vodka (1L)£15.00£18.99:eek:
No good, as we all know we would have been buying a different volume in M.
1 x ASDA Sweet Potatoes (1Kg)£0.57£0.99
Maybe Match and More? Still a quite expensive price per kg though (and M Unwashed Potatoes 12.5Kg sacks at £2 in M - reckon they could be a filler, if you find them in your store, towards the £15 spend as A have no equivalent? Assuming you can find them in your M store, they were £2 on Wednesday, don't know what they are today?). Nonetheless, the Sweet Potatoes are quite good for A prices, good for potatoes by A's relatively expensive IMO prices, if you particularly have to have Sweet Potatoes.
I'm sure the A own brand quark is quite expensive too. There has been some branded version at 85p I think in M (so would be Tvs M), but T has been down to 65p in the past year or two (could be longer) on some of that, so no good.
S/P Coldwater (Frozen) Prawns are vs M of course (except for Northern Ireland, which gets no 10%). And the Pringles Nacho is N/A vs M - so £1 vs N/A (although £1 is pretty expensive).
The 3 for £1 kids sweets/chocolates losing out again:(.
Carrots 1kg is vs M. Sadly not enough loose parsnip bought in order to compare cheaper to M. Have the beggars in A put the prices down again?:(
The turnip is N/A vs T, M and W, so probably quite expensive therefore! You know S are even more expensive and that they won't compare to cheaper A prices there.:( Speaking of vegetables, I wonder if the 500g Loose Swede that is now 69p in M (:(was 49p) would compare to the "approx. 600g" Swede which is 50p in T (and with weight adjustment of price downwards)?
More horrid UB £1 rices:rotfl:! ...And nasty expensive 79p KM bread:(. (Of course, it could be said the bread is cheaper than elsewhere so it is a good price, however I am still having none of it! In fact, not even much to buy in T on the comp. at all, due to the quite expensive cheaper A prices:rotfl:.)0 -
