They're coming in now and there probably will be something that comes up immediately the shops shut:(. Is this is a glitch vs Morries?:think: Any other time this would be good...

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Maris Piper Potatoes (2.5KG) £1.70 £0.50:T

However, with 2Kg in Aldi at 19p (I don't want those - 2.5Kg White or King Edward are 19p there), it seems rather overpriced:rotfl:. (It may be the true price - can't say I've been paying much attention to prices of potatoes at M when they aren't as low as 19p. EDIT: It's not a glitch - it is the true price at M according to m.com - but still not as good as Aldi.)

I'll get the good one out of the way - £7.70, but just the difference, and half the 10%, on this as the rest of the items offset each other:(:

Vs S
2x Bulmers Crushed Red Berries & Lime Premium Cider (6X500) £20.00 £14.00:T:T
1x Carling Lager (20X440) £10.00 £13.00:(
2x ASDA Chosen By You Diet Blue Charge Stimulation Drink (6X250) £3.00 £6.00:eek::eek:

This was the item I was hoping would be several pounds cheaper elsewhere:
1x Absolut Vodka (1L) £20.00 £20.00

However, it makes not much use (indeed, no use at all given the Bulmers contributed more than £7.70 themselves but some of that got taken away and the entire £2:eek: on the vodka did too:(). But... it's still a 'good' womble:rotfl:.

For Christmas and New Year fun, we could start a list of favourite glitches and offers this year?

This year does appear to have seen a decline in multi glitches, though we have still had some good ones.

In no particular order (though we could vote as New Year's Eve approaches):

1. C4rling 1Pint.
2. McD Bl1pper.
3. Am3x Shop Small.
4. CoS (no particular offer - it has been fantastic as an app).
5. CS.
6. ShopM.
7. U&G MOC
8. Multi glitch week in November.

Come to think of it, most of those aren't traditional Elite glitches :eek: . Where is the big 3 for £10 chocolate glitch at Easter or Christmas? The HE shampoo glitch? We have had a few APG glitches on pot noodle, Whitworths, Heinz, Walkers crisps and snacks ... what else?

Shoes JF was good for me, DD's friend bought some off me at a very low price but what with that and the Quidco £10, I am in profit with 36-ish tubes/bottles left.

Sparkly offers have been most kind.

And Swipe n Win gave me lots also.

Good afternoon all






Went to T's after work but nothing major, very very busy and reductions still only 50%, but not going there again today, shelves getting stripped at normal prices. :eek:

Fresh turkeys 30% off on rtc, not many left.

50% off lots of prepacked meats and bread in our Aldi. Assume could be national.

Someone else has just paid £1.70 for the Maris potatoes:eek: (and, I'm sure, across the country, many more bags are being bought) but this time the £1.70 goes to A as, overall, A is under 90% of the cost of what compares elsewhere.

The Lemon and the Chocolate cheesecake (frozen) pick up an M mbuy. Another good receipt:
