    Yes please can you post the link. I think I'd like to deliver mail :) 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.

    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:.)
