    I've seen the Loose Lemons (in A) comparing correctly against M at 30p:eek:(:rotfl:), fwiw. I don't know about the Loose Limes. A womble has also alerted me to the fact that the frozen A Chicken Breast Steaks have gone back down to £1.20. :(Don't put those on an Avs M comp. as I have had one of those compare at £1.20 vs £1.97. More than 10% cheaper so no good for APG but does mean you can buy them separately at £1.20:). Same price now as Sains Basics - though I think A's are better as S's (in order to get that price) have less chicken. I think it worked out roughly as same price as W's 5 for £6 (that now showing as not on online - now says just £2.30 individual price:eek:) - unless there was some trickery on the frozen mbuy offer that would have made W better - or else I decided that any saving against W's mbuy (by buying five in A and being 10% cheaper previously) wasn't worth it as would involve buying fivefold in order to save a little on a pack. Something like that - may have been about the same as A's individual price now is. [EDIT: W's offer was £1.20 each on 5, so it was the same price. Should have been full 10% off.] But would have lost much of the saving on having to buy 7 more items. Anyway, it doesn't seem W's offer is on now so just buy in A on a non-comp. or against wherever is N/A.

    If you pay for your Chicken Steaks:rotfl:. But then I took up A's "go and buy something from us, with a womble, and get chicken steaks next time for a penny" deal:D. How to take part? Simply visit A and buy with your womble, and happen to pick up another womble that, helpfully, comes to just 1p lower than the cost of the Chicken Steaks you'd like to buy! I like it when they come to the exact cost of my shop more, but I like it when this happens too:T.

    EDIT: Oh (surprised). It looks like they've been £1.20 in A since the third week of June:rotfl:. But at least I have now caught them before, I presume, they go back up in price again.

    The small price of reduced ham at 35p was 51p for all of it. The 65p piece. Which is bigger than the picture shows was £2.60
    A great saving for lovely ham.

    I've been having similar issues - some items being on one and not the other, some available in one shop but not the other ...

    I got the baby good for shopimum and all the barcodes scanned nicely instore but of course when you get home they all need scanning again and the little shining packs reflect the light and then you need to scan the receipt 4 times :mad: - in the end OH was doing the scanning as got myself in a right tizz wazz about it :D

    On Shopm iOS you can keep using the same uploaded receipt, once you have uploaded, to claim different items (it gives you the option).

    To be honest. It could be anytime. The deli prices reduce daily. Eg the larger piece of ham was reduced to £1.29 per 100g yesterday so I knew to look today

    Good Afternoon :wave:

    I hate shopprize lol

    Was doing nicely then they suspended my account for saying I was uploading wrong receipts. Fair enough ;)

    I just carried on collecting daily bonus and uploading receipts then one day last week my suspension was lifted :j

    So I collected my £5 Amazon voucher :T

    Day after suspended again :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: so I sent a snotty email they told me a receipt from the vets wasn't a receipt grr. Well what was it a mug coffee lol. Got a reply back I got to keep uploading receipts and my suspension will be lifted :D

    I know first time I was at fault posting bus/train tickets :)

    This time I paid for Poppy's worming pill and receptionist gave me the receipt which according to them isn't :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello everyone:j:j:j:j
    I can't be bothered to catch up as been on holiday for 10 days and I think it's sad if you can't get away from it all without a phone or iPad as a holiday is for getting away from everything and everybody :)
    I hope all are well and fighting fit and having as good an August as the nerf family . After 9 days camping in the New forest we went to a lovely sandy beach yesterday with another family we have met the last 3 years camping who has a son with mobility issues but we all had a fabulous day by the seaside:T:T
