    :hello: The checker was down for me last night - it couldn't find my receipt details after 2 hours, or after 3 hours:( - I seemed to have managed to do shopping the system didn't pick up:(:(. However, it was not just my shops but wombles from yesterday too, it seemed to have reverted to 'check after 6am' although it did not say that - but, today, the receipts are fine. This is yesterday's information:

    2x Herbal Essences Clearly Naked (0%) Dry Shampoo (180ML) £7.98 £4.00
    (Of course.)

    1x I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light Spread (1KG) £2.75 £1.50
    1x Nestle Shredded Wheat Honey Nut (500G) £2.49 £1.00

    Even the Spaghetti Loops work:
    1x ASDA Smartprice Spaghetti Loops in Tomato Sauce (395G) £0.15 £0.15

    And they do slightly better than the Spaghetti:
    1x ASDA Smartprice Spaghetti in Tomato Sauce (395G) £0.16 £0.16

    Wish I'd gone all out risk:D on my second shop, as I bought the straight Spaghetti on that rather than the Loops again.:(:rotfl:

    I was going to put a loose carrot onto the shop to get enough items as store :(OOS again on one of the items I wanted. However, I could not resist:

    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Carrots (1KG) £0.29 N/A:D

    I noticed the Parsnips and Savoy Cabbage at 29p but I bet they compare much higher - Sal will know! - and they went onto a separate shop. I managed to get the biggest cabbage I've ever seen:T. Also, as you know, 1Kg Baby Potatoes at 29p - not quite 20p/kg guide these days - I may have spied sweet potatoes too - but I am still getting through the 1.5Kg M White Potatoes that I got at 32p immediately after Mother's Day. I'm going with whoopsied veg. bought on its BB date at the moment - and probably from now on - still fine for several days, in the case of Broccoli, or over a week later, in the case of Carrots - I got a Broccoli at 19p from M and a Sweetheart Cabbage earlier at 15p - also a pack of 1Kg carrots at 25p (that M obviously don't have normally at 47p:rotfl:) so not quite as good as the whoopsied price. This is given that Broccoli was 32p in M, and went down to 29p in Aldi, and then back up in both meaning that 38p (or 10% off that) for Broccoli is now too dear for me:eek::rotfl:!

    Vs S:
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Carrots (1KG) £0.29 £0.50:eek:
    Vs T:
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Carrots (1KG) £0.29 £0.60:eek::eek:
    Vs W:
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Carrots (1KG) £0.29 N/A:rotfl:

    Glad they don't use m.com as the Carrots are on there. (Goes to check m.com.) :(I notice M Carrots 1kg at 28p on m.com, so I have overpaid again:(:( - they were not 28p on Wednesday so would never have been picked up at that anyway - but note to buy carrots in M next time - or otherwise whoopsie that is cheaper than regular price. That'll teach me for not resisting something instore:( - over 90% of the time, if I do that, without checking fully online beforehand, it always turns out I have paid too much.

    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Savoy Cabbage (EACH) £0.29 £0.63
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Broccoli (335G) £0.29 £0.38

    A v M

    I've not come across the parsnips yet:rotfl:

    DONT make the mistake I did - realise when you get to the checkout that id got the 400ml ones so no 2 for £4 and have to stand there while the SA cancels them all :(

    Little snippet for adsa lovers:

    Pringles only £1 at Tosco!

    1x
    PRINGLES ORIGINAL 190G
    £1.00 £1.25 £1.25 £2.00

    I know! I noticed these for a potential Avs T shop - only good item is Kipling Cherry Bakewells £1.45 vs 72p in T (and even then could be got if found on whoopsie cheaper) and the Olay wipes that I'll never use - I thought about 90p net. (on the Pringles) but then thought not bother - and A price not high enough so only 35p APG - might buy just the Cherry Bakewells in T (and pay 7p more:doh:) and not have to bother with 7 additional items - might not buy Cherry Bakewells at all but make do without them:D.

    Hi all

    Herbal Ess Hello hydration for DRY HAIR shampoo and conditioner was in the 2 for £4 offer
    it is showing 2 different prices on A site £2.50 and £3.79 both were in the offer, msn was showing both this morning but now the £3.79 has disappeared. I tried to test but my store do not stock the £3.79 one

    . If any one is out testing you might be able to test on the app in store to see if it shows as £2.50 or £3.79 it compares to £2.00 at hth

    NOT TESTED

    A v M

    I've not come across the parsnips yet:rotfl:

    :rotfl:

    Oooh, the Broccoli too! I hadn't noticed that one. (Or maybe my A had unchanged SEL price:rotfl:. How would I have known? Expected to be mind-readers again! Or else - that is why we must get prices online and it's impossible to shop correctly by looking at what is set out in front of you in a store.) However, I had the 15p Broccoli on its date from M, so I'm alright with Broccoli at the moment - and we now have Carrots, Parsnips and Savoy Cabbage to keep us going with veg. from now on in...:cool: (I switched to the whoopsied stuff in M after the Broccoli went up from 32p - and I just was never ever going to buy Broccoli after that! - as no good prices on veg. for a short time but at least Mr A has come up with the 29p veg.:T:T And M, allegedly, with the 28p carrots (not as good as my whoopsie at 25p regular 1Kg or, a bit better still, my Wonky 1.5Kg at 35p) - "allegedly" until I see them.)

    Wonky Parsnips 1Kg £1.00 in M:eek::eek:. (Expecting us to pay their normal offer prices on regular stuff, rather than almost half the cost on "perfect" ones in A. Don't like this paying higher prices for "Wonky" stuff which: (a) seems much the same as the "perfect" stuff to me - can't tell why some of the "wonky" carrots are wonky as they seem the same to me as the "normal" ones and (b) seems like an opportunity to have higher prices for "wonky" veg. with people making the (yet again incorrect) assumption that they will always work out cheaper.)

    As always, I'm on holiday and a mega glitch raises its head :p It's our last full day today so I shall think of you all filling your boots while I enjoy the Florida sunshine. Please save a little glitch for me until I get home.
    Morning all :)

    Oh HG.....I guessed you were possibly on holiday in the US but I didn't realise it was Florida....
    ...it's a very special place for us and even more significant to me that you let the balloon go there ......

    Need to have a rant. Tesco and sains points really annoying me at the moment. On my nectar account last week it had visit pfsx2 and receive 100points. Visited a couple of days ago but it has now disappeared off my account. Didn't expire until 20.3.
    I always do tescoviews. These stingy 25 points have not gone onto my account for the last 3 months so need to ring up and waste my time. Anyone else having these problems. Mini rant over. I DO NOT
    need shampoo but it is playing on my mind but asda is out of my way. I am going to dobbies to use up my last vouchers - thank juju for the advice.

    Santander have regular saver for 5pc so must get round to doing this.
