Just won a £10 Amazon GC, thanks to 10 Ways.

Have taken the following straight from 10 ways FB page. I've saved the photo you need to scan with the Blippar app. I've loaded the app on 4 devices and won once tonight on DH's iPad, you can enter once a day. I believe you should be going into a Maccy D's and scanning instore but this photo worked perfectly for me, although a bit grainy

"Use blippar (app) on this image and potentially win a £10 Amazon Voucher. It's an in-store McDonalds promotion but works with a photo as well so can be done remotely (ideal for those of us who are too lazy to go in-store). You will need a phone/tablet (with the app) + a screen to view the image. Thanks to Anon"

ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, again, not a winner!

Hooray! Your comparable ... shop was 10% cheaper ...

But you shouldn't have bought the Quaker Oats Porridge:mad:.

Comparison total (compared products only) £8.68 £9.96
cheaper +£1.28

Look at that - the Cadbury Trifles cheaper to have bought in M (given that they bought the Quaker Porridge and, in any event, didn't check their own receipt so have obtained it for £1.20).

I thought this receipt stood no chance - but, in the event, it came closer than what I thought. (I thought the A mbuys might ensure it came out cheaper but it was the Porridge instead, which I didn't even notice.)

It looks like a 4 for 80p M mbuy is being picked up on the Cadbury Fudge and Freddo bar - but obviously not much use as they got the wrong number:mad:. No use buying A's 5 for £1 = 20p individual price when M's mbuy 4 for 80p = 20p individual price. Need to buy four at full price or else get four but find one trigger - that could, hypothetically, be an invisible trigger, leaving the four to compare, or could be a visible trigger if that does not take the others to A mbuy pricing on the comp. - the trigger itself either non-comp. or preferably not 10% cheaper than M when using A's full price and even against M full price.

However, I get another £1.80 from my fourth and final receipt:cool:. Against M again - I had better not lose out to another cucumber!:mad: Fortunately, there are no cucumbers on the shop:).

Some items from the M comp.

2x ASDA Chosen By You Mushy Peas (300G) £0.60 £0.90:eek:

1x Kellogg's Coco Pops Cereal Cereal (550G:rotfl:) £2.00 £2.00:rotfl::rotfl:
(I wait for T's much bigger pack to go down to £1.87 or for there to be cheaper 'whoopsies' available somewhere.)

2x Jaffa Cakes (135G) £0.62 N/A:rotfl:

This is SP Jaffa Cakes, which have gone down in price in A. There may be a weight issue - M's do not state their weight - as M is 35p and therefore A really now slightly more than 10% cheaper (but may be slightly lower weight). But good to know the SP Jaffa Cakes are not picking up any higher M price. Obviously N/A against everywhere except Sains - Sains 50p each!:eek: Not as good as McVities J.C. ages ago though - when they got a much better glitch price against M:rotfl::rotfl:.

All the receipts come out cheaper than elsewhere again:mad:. All in all, not too bad though - more than half the shops not 10% cheaper:T:). Someone's bought the Milky Way Magic Stars pouch at £1.50:rotfl:, and got me vs M at £1:cool::).

1x R Whites 3 PreMium Lemonade Ice Lollies (3X75) £1.95 N/A:think:

Vs M.
They have had it, in the past. I don't know though as I've not got it on offer so, if it's around, it will be at full price. (...Which may mean I've lost some pence as A is effectively full price on one:mad: - and still quite likely wouldn't be 10% cheaper than an M full price if the product was on one.) Hopefully I did not see it going onto some RTC in M weeks ago and potentially still being around at that RTC in some Ms:rotfl:. I do not have any information though. Which probably means, if it is around in my Ms, I've not noticed it because it is full price. It could be that M don't have it - but, really, for every single pack they have ever had to have completely sold and for not a single unit of stock to be lying deep behind a load of something else in a freezer somewhere in an M store, even if just a handful of stores in the whole country? They last for months - and stock that doesn't sell can simply remain in freezers in stores until it is sold. So, I have my doubts in believing M doesn't have it at all.

How has M got rid of this if it is not by an RTC though?:think: It has me wondering there, as the items must sell out via some means and the most logical for a complete no trace would probably be an RTC. And... as we know, items continue to be around in some place in the country even months after an RTC and still on it. So, unbeknown to themselves and unbeknown to myself at this stage, they could be doing me out of another quid or more there:rotfl:.

On the M list, I am well over half way through*. Which is good news - as I have done one out of my three days available. I have less than two sides of paper of Monday to do, which is not very much at all - if this was the starting point coming out from a price day, it would have been a very small amount of change indeed (probably lower than what my very low changes get). I then have the vast majority of Wednesday to do, which was not very much and a lot of that is duplicates of Monday's information or just checking through the stores that items have been left unchanged.

I don't duplicate all the information on the second date of the week. If I know the price is unchanged from last time, I don't bother to note it again. Sometimes I note things not knowing whether I have them already or not or just to be sure that I have got the item - or ones that try to confuse me (and hopefully fail!) such as those ever-changing toothbrush prices this week:mad::rotfl:. (Those I have had to take care to ensure I have all of them and that they are unchanged from last time or else that any changes are noticed.) But - there you are, you see - Mini Pastries 5 - I can cross that off from Wednesday as I know I've already dealt with that from Monday:T.

*And over half way through the updating that is, which works randomly throughout the list rather than being over halfway down the list.
