Actually the list of people who liked it, makes really interesting reading.

I also noticed that a certain HC is no longer ppr'd:eek:

See what I mean though, about them being largely same (or similar) prices to elsewhere and not 10% cheaper.

Morrisons
£16.69
£17.21
£15.48
£1.21 more
Not 10% cheaper

The Giovanna Rana is on £1 r'back in A, but also happens to be on offer at the same price in M, so isn't 10% cheaper. The fresh milk is the same price, not 10% cheaper, than M. The Wheat Bisks are cheaper in M, the butter is roughly the same price (but again A isn't 10% cheaper), they only "win" on the Fruit Pastilles (I buy 230g Dominion bags from Aldi) because they are on £1 r'back. The shopper bought a single pack of the Parma Violets:rotfl:. You want four, together with a Chupa Chups Shootz;). Although, to be fair, that's us making use of the rules on excluded items as really A are more than 10% cheaper on their offer. 5 for £1 in A, 4 for £1 on the Parma Violets in M. However, ignoring offer prices, they are same individual price and not 10% cheaper!:rotfl:

Bananas are the same price everywhere (as long as you're not using for example convenience M Locals that charge more and have bananas sold by price per banana - a bit more than you would pay for a banana on 68p/kg - people obviously have no clue as to what price they should pay for a banana - I noticed some 'funsize' packs on maybe 75p in Lidl (I don't take notice of expensive prices;)) that are marked as being a price of over £1 per kg!:eek: Obviously you can get price reduced bananas too - glad they didn't on this occasion!

They bought the Maris Piper potatoes perhaps at the wrong time as M are not currently on offer. Of course, when M does go onto offer, A is a lot more expensive on them then! But - not on offer, so prices are the same - surprise surprise - and itself gives a bit of 10% so it helps a little that the shopper didn't forget them on this shop. They like their expensive popcorn:laugh: but fortunately they are on an mbuy offer in M that doesn't make any saving compared to A's straight price.

It's largely the Fruit Pastilles (bad decision to buy on A r'back and, just occasionally, offers elsewhere go to sub-£1 prices) and the Flatbread that makes A slightly cheaper. The more usual "We were cheaper, but not 10%" perhaps - although I did get a run of "unusual" Morrisons cheaper ones lately!

I think he has been like that for a long time but never been able to log back on.

Thinking about it reckon he may have done something similar to bubbs when she was locked out a while back.
