Not sure if been mentioned but I am in asda now and 16 pack of shades quilted toilet rolls are £2.50!!.

Look up .

16 packs are 4x4 single file pack.

These were brought in for special promo end of aisle in the medium stores too, as my local had them last week (I checked last week as O had a hunch).

Safely purchased "a few" :cool: I would have got more but having price checked it raised staff interest and the shelf was cleared (in fairness not many to start with) - not sure if they think it is a glitch or getting some themselves it is a good deal.

Many thanks

No use buying Dairylea Dunkers at £1:(.

The Birds Eye Mini Waffles are, supposedly, not available in M. I would not know - I've no idea why to buy those when the Birds Eye Waffles 567g are also £1 (and £1 in M, goodness knows whether they will ever compare:rotfl:). (Do you get more waffles in the mini pack and therefore get more but consume less?:think:) Should be own brand waffles of 680g and they've gone down below £1 in T in the past (on quite rare offers).

Not sure whether the Cherryade and Orangeade should be N/A against M.

In fact, I think now that they should compare - A's are No Added Sugar on both, but the description does not appear on the APG and therefore, probably, they don't pick up M's NAS Cherryade and NAS Orangeade on 2 for 90p in M:mad:.

Look at how expensive the 2.5Kg white potatoes are in M at the moment!:eek:
I still sometimes see Wonky Potatoes 5Kg £2 SEL in M but I'm not seeing much, if any, stock around these days. On potatoes, I have now switched to Aldi's Eday Essential Potatoes 5Kg at £1.99. No matter if any 2.5Kg potatoes in Aldi go to £1.09:mad: - they still don't work out as good as the 5Kg bags! My potatoes in the 5Kg bag from Aldi last time didn't seem to be lasting very long though - however the fridge soon sorted that matter out!:T I discovered (:doh:) to use the fridge when I bought loads enough (and more!) 2.5Kg potatoes in A at Easter for 29p... only to see Aldi briefly go a penny or so cheaper - they did not last and were starting to sprout, despite my attempts to keep them in a dark place but I found the fridge was the place to keep them, for up to 3 months, and it allowed them to last so we used them all! I don't care at all about sprouting potatoes, as long as they are edible and won't kill me:rotfl::money::rotfl::rotfl:.

8 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison
Asda morrisons
2x Dairylea Dunkers With Jumbo Tubes X4 (4X47G) £2.00 £3.00
1x Roberts Bakery Medium White Sliced Bread (800G) £1.00 N/A

2x ASDA Grower's Selection White Potatoes (2.5KG) £2.38 £3.52
1x Napolina Passata with Basil (390G) £0.50 £1.00
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Cucumber Portion (EACH) £0.24 £0.23
1x Birds Eye Mini Potato Waffles (456G) £1.00 N/A
Comparison total (compared products only) £6.12 £8.65
cheaper +£2.53

The waffles, showing £2.00* for Sains. on msm, are currently returning N/A against there on the APG:). There is, of course, no point buying them in Sains. anymore (unless that OOS marking means they really are available in store and have gone onto some RTC price such as, eventually, 20p). If A is now cheaper than S, you buy at A!

Baking Potatoes 4 apparently available in M at £1 according to msm:rotfl:. Hopeless on fresh items! I'm not totally convinced about the twin lettuce either - or the onion. Then again, every N/A for M I now doubt:rotfl:. The Diced Carrot & Swede that I mentioned last week not comparing (A 50p and M 60p:eek:) would really be even worse if they picked them up - they are 500g in A and actually 450g in M. [EDIT: Actually diced onion is 320g in M so it looks like it should be N/A - that said, I can never rule out that a single M in the country, possibly which I've never visited, does not have a different pack size of onion to everywhere else:rotfl:. And can't rule that out from being within weight range of A. Of course that (as yet hypothetical product) will be unlikely to show on m.com if it isn't generally available. It[I] might[/I] do so if it is in Leamington M. Does anyone reading, anywhere, buy or have a smaller onions pack from their M? As far as I know, M does not have an equivalent but I can't completely rule out the what seems to me at the moment to be very unlikely possibility that one exists. So, as ever now, I can never say "M does not have it" - instead, you get the convoluted thing from me which is the truth.]

So, on this one, difference in price between A and M probably about right, out by a few pence, as Baking Potatoes would lose but Cherryade/Orangeade should have been probably about 9p more back on 2 for 90p M price. Would still have been no voucher, due to buying A 'offer items', anyway.

EDIT 2: Think I'll put that thing now into my sig.:rotfl:

Probably reported already but in large store SP Curry Noodles RTC 10p (Beef A own brand 13p) .

10p noodles ... that are 10p .

No use as a filler though as they will mess up my other shop :eek:

Hmm. Thought I might pop in to S to do a swipe or two tomorrow.

Got my-coupons points voucher for seedless black grapes, went to S website to check price - not currently stocked.

Got another my-coupons points voucher for Braeburn apples in bags of 8, but website says bags of 5 minimum so I can't see how there will suddenly be 8 in there...

Giving up, I think. :rotfl:

me too -I've got the mismatched Braeburn apples which are according to mysupermarket 30p each
I've got a very strange mycoupons list this time - some are items I would have bought when I was doing a brand match shop to get the asda price eg orange club biscuits and kitkats, useful bits like that. I wont now, unless sainsburys suddenly has offers in the next 2 weeks - unlikely

then thee are things I've bought for Shopotize in the past eg LLoyd Grossman sauces and Spanish chicken sauce which were on the list last week - maybe they will be on Shopotize next week ...

and a few things I've never bought like 6 pints of milk

one very useful item though is Herta sausages which are on Shopotize for cashback and now extra points as well and sainsburys is the cheapest place to get them :j

Jumbo? 47g :rotfl:

That's what they're called. I agree with you - those "Giant" tubes of sweets, when they have them, seem to be very small to me. We may have had downsizes on some (or all?) of those over the years. Not as "giant" as they used to be:rotfl:.

And we have the "small" roasting tray in M that I think is actually quite a decent size - not what I'd call "small".

It's all marketing - I suspect there's no legal definition of what is "jumbo" or "large" so they can describe them in any such way as they want in order to flog a product. It makes sense to include such words, where appropriate - as they will cause at least someone to make a purchase that wouldn't have paid attention if the word "jumbo" wasn't included. Then again, how many people, like us, are potentially repelled by it (as we see the word "jumbo" and then, as a result, think they are not and possibly reject them - or more likely just swallow it anyway as there is no other choice if we want the type of product)? I think marketers don't accept that advertising sometimes can result in people deliberately not buying a product if you say something that they fundamentally reject. Advertising does have an influence - and maybe some is "drip-drip" that, eventually, sinks into your subconscious and has you buying something (especially if accompanied by fresh baking smells at the back of the supermarket - I bet they actually waft fresh smells into the whole of the supermarket). If you see/hear something advertised too much though, does it not turn you off and have you refusing ever to buy the product as a result? The advertising agencies, of course, would not accept this - but their vested interest is to ensure that advertisers advertise.

If they are "jumbo", there may be other packs that are even smaller than they are:eek::(.
