    Yes cos I've been up em :rotfl: xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Thanks to hampydoodums and subsequent posters for the IAMS mention. I saw, on mysupmkt that a 3kg bag (dog food) was £10.50 at A vs £5.25 at W. Took a few knorr 50p coupons with me for fillers.

    The shelf price was £7.50. I was far too busy at the till to notice it going through at the £10.50 (per mysupkt) so trotted off to CS for £3 and (with a nudge) a £2 smiley.

    Here's my £8.29 APG :

    3 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Waitrose
    1x Wham Raspberry Flavoured Bar (16G) £0.10 N/A
    1x Knorr Naturally Tasty Chilli Con Carne (64G) £0.60 N/A
    1x Knorr Naturally Tasty Lasagne (60G) £0.60 N/A
    1x Muller Simply Bliss Greek Style Whipped Lemon Yogurt (4X100G) £2.29 £1.15
    1x Knorr Naturally Tasty Beef Tagine (63G) £0.60 N/A
    1x ProActive Health Mature & Senior 7+ Years All Breeds Dry Dog Food (3KG) £10.50 £5.25
    1x Knorr Naturally Tasty Tuna Napolitana (43G) £0.60 N/A
    1x Muller Simply Bliss Greek Style Whipped Vanilla Yogurt (4X100G) £2.29 £1.15
    1x Knorr Naturally Tasty Moroccan Chicken (63G) £0.60 N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only) £15.08 £7.55
    +£7.53 cheaper
