    Why not just hand the apg over when u do the wine shop and see what happens. They might put it through manually if and when it doesnt scan

    I've tried that once before but they call the supervisor at the drop of hat in my store. I've not got another A anywhere near me either so I try to keep a low profile. I'll just take the hit this time and use it as a lesson learned

    good morning

    do we know the leg of lamb on offer dose not compare to M's when doing Brancott wine.
    sent OH out came back with one with wine:mad::mad:
    but:j:j when seeing result
    Probably old news but through i'd report back

    AvM
    1.99x ASDA Butcher's Selection Lamb Leg Bone In Joint (Typically 2kg) (per kg) £9.90 N/A
    1x ASDA Farm Stores Brown Onions (1kg) £0.59 N/A
    1x ASDA Smart Price Sliced Carrots in Water (300g) £0.20 £0.20
    1x ASDA Cream of Mushroom Soup (400g) £0.39 £0.45
    3x Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc (75cl) £26.94 £15.00


    AvS/ W
    1.99x ASDA Butcher's Selection Lamb Leg Bone In Joint (Typically 2kg) (per kg) £9.90 N/A

    AvT
    1.99x ASDA Butcher's Selection Lamb Leg Bone In Joint (Typically 2kg) (per kg) £9.90 £19.90

    I didn't expect that to work - it looked to me like A's product was classed as fixed weight whilst M's is variable. I also thought it was Lamb Shoulder that was (probably still is whilst older stock lasts despite the expiry date that was on m.com) on the £4/Kg price in M not Lamb Leg?

    Whilst I am now here briefly, checking whether I am supposed to fit any glitches into today, it looks I am not expecting much change in M today according to the expiry dates of various products on my list, so I am probably just going to do another 'stop-gap' collection again today possibly of one store (we shall see if I have too much outstanding after it and need a second store) which may not necessarily catch all changes that need to be seen and then do a more proper check on Wednesday. This week is quite pressed though, so I will see what I can manage on Wednesday. Next week, I am going to miss out Monday due to the Bank Holiday and may just do Wednesday. I was going to say I will just do Wednesday but will probably get forced back to M on Tuesday by people using stuff and needing it buying again and unable to wait until the following day. I am currently thinking next week, Wednesday only, will be one of my bigger collections again as I do need to see stuff I don't have in my fewer regular stores now and then.
