Elite go to Lapland In Time for christmas Eve

Here it is - just for ease for reference - small I know, and no guarantee that any of it will work. Or you may decide that just cod and 9 different 10p items is best. Watch the £10 cap - I make it it's a maximum of 5 packs per transaction without being capped. Five packs would leave you with £1 spare of the £10 limit to play with (in other words you could not get the Maxwell House for example if getting five packs of cod - or you could but would likely end up with Maxwell House at equivalent of £3.60 rather than matched to M's price). In that light, the Kenco with might now become , but we assume that T has right price for M and doesn't glitch versus full price and why give T £1.24 more in any event?

Ready Meals
Chinese Meals quite expensive straight £2 in M. Indian Meals on full price £2.49:eek: and apparently no mbuy, except for Indian Tikka Masala on relatively expensive 'everyday price' (£1.90). However, both the Chinese and the Indian meals appear now to be 450g in M, so may now be non-comparable

Tesco Butcher's Choice Pork Cocktails Sausages (25 per pack - 338g)£2.39 £1.19 Straight M price (M is 320g) without weight adjustment - however M's version are raw sausages so might not be comparable.

There's, of course, lots of other items possibly available to find - all those on Avs M where T also has an equivalent but lose the 10% and others you can find for M on msm although never considered cheap enough to go onto my list.

So hugs to anyone who needs them especially Sarahdol and Bananababe. :A

Good night. xx

I think I might be inclined 5 packs of cod, an Eday Caramel Wafers, some Chewits, a pack of floss and six (or even more given the difference) 10p items:rotfl:.

Tin of Thai Green Chicken Curry (400g). Msm has T at £1.49 and out of stock but M at 50p. That would be 99p of the £1 remaining difference, if T really has the product still in its stores and if only such a good comparison would actually come off:rotfl:. It would be on the list if I had any information that T actually does stock a version of this product. No guarantees in anything comparing anyway.

Wow! That is a good one!:T:T:T It's going straight onto the list!:T (Sorry Northern Ireland:laugh:.) I'd be buying as many as I could fit into the freezer if - I hadn't already filled my freezer today with useless stuff and - if I didn't dislike Mr T so much that I refuse to shop there:wall::wall:. I think we may have until Thursday on this one, unless the system is changed beforehand. Watch - as T watch this thread. I'll put them onto Tvs M - they could of course end at any time. EDIT: Do we think we need to buy two to get the 40p price? On the assumption that buying one is okay, and it is an assumption, I'll put it onto Tvs M as M at 20p. Which they obviously are:rotfl:.

I'm not sure about whether you have to buy in 2's. But if I get up in good time I'll test 4

Instead I have to settle for some Young's Lightly Coated Alaskan Pollock Fillets that I tried to compare on Sains BM a few days ago vs A at £2, but didn't work:

1 Young's Pollock Flts in Lem & Hrb 480g £4.00 Non-comparable:(

because, I suspect, the words "Lightly Coated" do not appear on S's system and the word Alaska isn't on there either, even though they are clearly that on the packaging and are the same.

Oh well - I made £13 more than I 'should' anyway - would have been £15 if I'd continued and decided to pursue this, but since I'm already 'quids in', it's one not to bother with. No details yet of how that happened - sadly it's not a glitch that anyone could take advantage of - I'm still running this now, on and on, through a long series of shops with BMs back.

I worked out that, from the cost of my entire shopping earlier this year, I stood to lose about £5. In other words, pay £5 real cash for the whole lot. (People may remember I was counting the spend on fuel, which was not at S but at BP, as I couldn't have got the fuel, with various deals, cheaper elsewhere at that time anyway and it was a necessity - I would have had to have paid the same price elsewhere. Though, with my use of loyalty points to get BMs back and back again, maybe that 'spend' is worth a little more.)

However, as I've ended up £13 better off, I make it I'm now in profit by £6 on my entire S shopping this year:T. Not counting the cost of fuel, bought elsewhere anyway and couldn't have been cheaper elsewhere (but which is, of course, a huge loss maker for me:laugh:). The worst (lowest) amount of points came from the shops that added up to £5 real cash in Sains early in the year. I should never have done them. Otherwise, all my points were from other (legal:D) means and cost me nothing:money:.

In the light of the Youngs being a failure, I thought that the system might be even more Asperger's than I am - and therefore return N/A through its pedantry of just seeing individual words. Fortunately however (or sadly maybe:rotfl:), the system worked perfectly with several items on a shop since the Youngs one and returned now a £10 BM (£10.05 got capped, wasn't bothered about 5p, was able to use a cond spend of £4 that outweighed it massively). It's because of different words, and the computer works by looking at words, so it didn't see "Lightly Coated" or "Alaskan". I identified five different items in my last shop that might have had a potential issue regarding oh so minor differences in words - fortunately in the end it turned out I was being even more attentive to individual words than their system was, so that all the items in my shop worked. Of course I know those products are identical, and therefore I see that they are comparable, but sometimes computers, that rely on the words, do not. I rely on words, but I do have a back-up modicum of common sense which computer systems lack. So I can see beyond the words, whereas computers can't. However the computer did pick up all these products despite the extremely minor differences in wording. In the sense that I identified the minor differences in the wording in the first place, I'm more Asperger's here than the BM system is!:D:rotfl:
