    Bless you :eek:

    Question for all you cruisers out there, when they say an evening dress, do they mean an EVENING dress or will I get away with maxi dresses?

    There's so little change needed to the M list today that I can't be bothered, so goodnight I'll see you later!:D

    As opposed to Monday, when there was 'so much' that it motivated me to do it. It can work the opposite ways too - when there's so much, you feel 'snowed under' and can't be bothered to cope. Or when there's so little, that you get it all done quickly. I think it depends on irrational, illogical emotion again:):laugh:.

    I've removed the 1Kg 'fresh' Carrots as they weren't comparing on the APG last weekend, but the 335g Broccoli was. 500g Carrots are 21p in Aldi, so 2x is cheaper than M's 1Kg price. 1Kg carrots are, supposedly, 39p in Aldi accordingly to msm; however I've no idea as I couldn't see any price label in my Aldi for them.

    I've no idea about the Broccoli being 39p in Aldi, as the Broccoli I saw there had 89p:eek: on the shelf for it - and that was as a 'red label' background with a reduction from some even higher price.

    We may have begun to see a 'good' comparison on the loose Bramley Apples Avs M had A not put its price down:(. They should (start to) compare £1.45:(/kg vs £1.47/kg. However, the 800g bags would work out cheaper if they compared in A against T (slight adjustment upwards of T's price I'm afraid is T is lower weight).

    The loose broccoli by weight in M has gone down to £1.25/kg, although I have never seen it comparing yet on the APG. That's now a fraction of a penny cheaper per kg. than the 335g Broccoli in M and, as the 335g Broccoli often contains more than 335g, you'd therefore, it seems, be better off getting that. I say "it seems" as this assumes it continues to compare against M's price like it should.

    Just to note the loose Bramley Apple(s) that will not be making it to the list. And also the Cox Apples packs that will - you might be lucky and bag an 8 pack of those in M (at £1:eek:) even though pack should be a 7 pack.

    It won't. It's only gone onto 3 for £2 today, as far as I'm aware, so the system won't be updated yet.

    Fwiw, I don't think this particular mbuy offer (across the Pepsis) is going to get picked up. Riskier still with mix and match but I even doubt sticking to the same flavour would work - we might find one (or two) that start to work (once update has happened) but I would doubt it, given the state of the labelling in my Ms. The price collectors might have it differently for them, though, but if my stores are any representative... (they'll miss it).

    It could have gone to 3 for £2 in M yesterday rather than today, although I've no idea* as price collection is today.

    As that shop appears to be a non-glitchy one, may be worth a 'complaint' to Sada HQ and saying 'you're not 10% cheaper'? Might get a GC thrown into the bargain - although they could, legitimately, brush you off and refuse as it's clear from the T&Cs that prices for M aren't updated until tomorrow at the earliest. So, in accordance with the strict T&Cs (and you know Savvy is a strict stickler and far more than even any supermarket is), they don't have to be 10% cheaper than M's mbuy that's not updated into the system yet (if it ever gets there).

    *That's my favourite phrase of the day - "I've no idea":rotfl:. (I'm already beginning to get bored with myself saying it:(:laugh:.)

  • Sorry guys, been busy working, testing and glitching all day and haven't had a chance to post about this up till now.

    Here's a Palmolive handwash glitch from earlier, the offer is £1.80 each, 3 for £3 instore and they compare nicely in threes A v T, but better in fours A v M..:D

    Works out that for every 3 you buy for £3 you get an apg for £3.11 A v T. Even better return if you buy A v M.
