Just wanted to say "Hi" and thanks to springdreams :A for the intro to this thread - just nipped over from the alphabetties (thanks also to uglybugball for being our fab 'u' and kick-starting our merry dance again :T:T )

It might take me a while to make sense of all the info here, but as an avid 'bargain grabber' whenever the chance arises I'm hoping to learn lots from you all

Thread bookmarked :j

Welcome biker chick - you are one of my oldest fb fwends Nice to see you here :T

Ah the coupon fairy sprinkles flowers she isn't going to believe you you know. But that's why she loves you

PS what's with the reductions on my favourite sweetie fillers ? Sa says its stock take time and lots of reductions due x

These same items keep appearing on large apgs so they might think they are trigger items

I remember during the big A glitch some people reported their stores taking white mice off the shelves :rotfl:

Does this help? (Cribbed off tinterweb:))

Periods
The trick is to use periods in your Gmail address. Gmail doesn't differentiate between a valid Gmail address and the same address with periods inserted in it. For example, if your email address is [EMAIL="myemail@gmail.com"]myemail@gmail.com[/EMAIL], messages sent to [EMAIL="my.email@gmail.com"]my.email@gmail.com[/EMAIL] and [EMAIL="mye.mail@gmail.com"]mye.mail@gmail.com[/EMAIL] will both end up in your inbox. You can also add multiple periods eg, [EMAIL="m.y.e.m.a.i.l@gmail.com"]m.y.e.m.a.i.l@gmail.com[/EMAIL]

@
The trick is to use a plus sign next to the @ sign in your gmail or googlemail address. Say, for example, your email address was [EMAIL="myemail@gmail.com"]myemail@gmail.com[/EMAIL]. Add a + sign within your email just after the name of the email account and put anything you wish after it. So you could use [EMAIL="myemail+1@gmail.com"]myemail+1@gmail.com[/EMAIL] or [EMAIL="myemail+sue@gmail.com"]myemail+sue@gmail.com[/EMAIL] or [EMAIL="myemail+asmanyvariationsasIwish@gmail.com"]myemail+asmanyvariationsasIwish@gmail.com[/EMAIL]. All these addresses will work and you’ll receive the email into your mailbox for [EMAIL="myemail@gmail.com"]myemail@gmail.com[/EMAIL]

Thanks for this. Really helpful. Zippy, I am glad it worked for you too!

Goodnight all.

No use - lots of 98p items bought and more: all the usual ones that lose out:(.

Plus the Strawberries again, still comparing to higher price at M, that looks like weight-adjusted price even though M's are outside of 10 weight range and ought not to be compared - but, then again, I suppose we've sometimes benefitted (very slightly:() when it has glitched the other way.

1 x ASDA Strawberries (400g)£1.50£2.67

Load of unnecessary items bought in my view (doubtless many of them impulse purchases that simply give the stores money by appearing to be good).

And this loses out substantially - and even more as it does not compare vs £1.50 price showing on msm at the moment:
2 x Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars - Canadian Mapl...£1.96£4.78

Maybe I will find later today that they have gone down to £1.50 in M only today - if so, I'm not taking much notice of £1.50 prices!

The only consolation is that M don't stock Diet Coke (according to the APG:D), but still, no use, overall shop loses out by several pounds vs M and even more vs everywhere else:

2 x Diet Coke (1.75L)£1.85N/A:rotfl:

£1.83 individual price - why would they want people to buy a further bottle for only 2p more? Presumably it's a promotion funded by Coca Cola? Or else they (A) really feel that they have to match the current price of T in store, but then, when they have the PG and don't have to be even as cheap as anywhere else, why would they need to do that?

And, with that, that's enough from me for now - bye and see you again later!:):wave:

Are the Rice Krispies Squares etc. really straight £1.98 in A? £1 each showing for T. There is some new Kelloggs Coco Pops Porridge in M - wonder if it is available in A and if it's on an mbuy?

Also some new Magnums ice creams - Pink and Black - again, wonder if they could be avail. in A and triggers to the 2 for £3 frozen?

CEREALS- 3 FOR £3
Not any more - that changed 34 mins ago

There's loads in that multi that might compare but I've just picked out these 3...

Squarez (i only looked at totally chocolatey), coco pop and rice krispie snack bars are £1 at Tosco.
Should see £1.98 v £1 (£1.08 apg) for each £1 spent

Early shopping required... that's before roughly 6am! (shop at own risk )

edit to add: A bunch of special K bars are in this too it would seem.
