    This has probably been answered but I've not caught up and no time to look. Does the T BG mean that, as people are paying the competitor's price (if cheaper), or the competitor's price plus:( T's own label costs, that, if you do it 'right', you'll be paying the lower competitor price at the till/SS and therefore cannot use T cond.spends as not paying too much?

    In which case, if it does, it now seems there's no point at all about cond.spends. It's pointless now as you can't get an in effect deduction on the competitor's price, so may as well buy everything cheaper at the competitor.

    Is this the case?

    Alternatively, if you only have a participating T near to you and are using T effectively to pay the competitor's price, whether it opens up the possibility of arguments and disagreements over what the bill should be should T BG not compare what it 'should' for us:rotfl:? I shall not be responsible for any such arguments, disagreements or disputes that may arise from using my M list.

    I just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hi' :)
    Long time no see!
    RL very busy at the minute, I've went back to college so between that, normal work and placement hours I think I need to add 10 hrs to the day to be able to catch up on here and partake in any glitches I may have found useful. I am so thankful for my stashes of everything (thanks to these threads) because I will be depleting them over the next 10 months and more than likely beyond that depending on how things go.
    I the past few months I've been through the mill and came out the other side with a better outlook than I had before. I have been through lots of hospital visits, including a bowel cancer scare so many tests at very short notice but all is well turned out to be benign. Scary as hell but it's made me make decisions to change my life around and do what I want, to make me happier and more fulfilled. DS isn't liking the changes but understands why I'm doing it.
    Oh, almost forgot I've now got sciatica so back on more pain meds but hey just get on with it.

    Enough of my compaints, hope everyone is well or feels better soon if ill.
    Bye for now, assignments to do, if I get a chance I'll pop back on soon.

    Sorry you've had such an awful time, especially with that health scare, but glad you've come out the other side.

    Good luck with your college course. :)

    I'd much rather not see glitch pictures that nobody had a chance to partake in and be ignorant to it than to have it splashed across with 'See this I got wahoo, but im not sharing it' caption. I can't believe I have to explain why that is a bad thing? More like bragging to me. And yes a facebook group exists where people share glitches, so why not post loot there and leave us mere mortals in ignorance. Not sure what it does to brag about.


    spot on...

    :(Already overpaying on the carrots. 45p in M.

    And the 4 pint milk:(. 89p each in M and A (and Aldi, Iceland and Lidl).
    Chopped Tomatoes 31p in M.

    Although it doesn't quite work like this, as it seems to be targetting A and the price of the 1Kg Carrots is not 45p in A, that's a total overpayment of 40p compared to various own label items at M. Making a 99p deduction. And you've probably bought extra items in order to get the 10 I assume are still needed, so it's seems it's given more into T's coffers.

    EDIT: Carrots are 49p in A. Why are you paying extra for them from T? And, in fact, it looks like they are now 39p in Aldi, although I last found some 500g carrots there at 21p (so I paid over the odds on buying two of those packs last week:rotfl:). Assuming 1Kg carrots are indeed 39p in Aldi, as showing on msm, that now makes even Avs M now slightly worse.

    S/P chopped tomatoes are 31p too in A. Add the milk at 11p cheaper and the carrots at 45p. This shop, on Tvs A, has lost 36p on own label items. Deduction of £1.39 at the till should have been £1.75 had this compared all of what would have been compared before.
