I wonder if GJ will start using A now we can no longer do comparison shops

:think::think::think:

I did have to separate some trolleys as well, at one of my small As. Not enough items:(. I did manage to find one there that did have, won't know until around ten to this next hour coming up whether it is worth anything or not. For tonight, I don't like people that leave tissue paper at the other end of the car park that looks like a receipt from a distance. And, if I had done my last comparison shop today, I would not like the SP Gravy having gone back down to 20p after a short time it turns out at 35p. I did very right to do my shop yesterday and not lose APG. I obtained it anyway for 18p. I am now more happy that it has gone back to 20p - although I would have otherwise switched to T or M anyway if A didn't come back down after what may have been an unsuccessful attempt to put T and M's prices up - hoping one of the competitors, then the other, being the last, 'underpriced' one to do so, but they didn't so A had to bring it back down. They may read this thread and have listened to me - after me saying to switch if A remains at 35p after today. So, it is now back at 20p, a price increase of 2p except for those that have staff discount cards.

Anyone staying up until midnight in case there's an explosion or fireworks or something?

Beyond midnight, in case the system is still up for another hour (or maybe there will be a final glitch and it'll still work beyond). Or are we talking about proper life stuff instead of supermarket comparisons:o?

No I'm not talking about real life stuff:rotfl:

I keep looking at your profile to see if you are replying to my pm:rotfl:

Every time I check it says that you are " modifying posts "

Btw I don't need or want a reply to my pm I just didn't want you to think I was rude by just disappearing:rotfl:
I need to sleep:)

:(True to the end. The receipt that looked like it had enough items - not enough items:(. A bag for life bought, one item duplicated, leaves 8 different grocery items but at least one doesn't count as it mustn't be on a.com. So a wasted journey to that A - but, never mind, only a mile away from the other anyway. I had to go otherwsie I would have been forever wondering what if I had? if I did not. After I visited there, I am now wondering about the four As I didn't visit:rotfl:. It would have had me out visiting every A within a 20 mile radius. I doubt I would get back by midnight if I attempted it, and unlikely to produce vouchers that would have been worth it.

Drumroll... final receipt: I bet it gives nothing anyway (but need to know so I know which one to post as my last successful one). It does have several Chicken Nuggets though, that have gone up in A compared to my M list - now 89p at A and should compare to 75p at M. May be offset by elsewhere. Or maybe not enough items:rotfl:. 35 items sold, could be all duplicates.

Savvybuyer

Oh, 83p! Morrisons cheaper, but only by a bit. Not great but at least something. Done on the Garlic & Herb Baguettes again:( - bet they are still £1 each in M.

Based on comparable items... tesco sainsbury's morrisons waitrose
The cost of your shop at Asda was: £14.95 £11.93 £7.97 £6.20
The competitor cost would have been: £15.77 £13.88 £7.94 £10.90
To be 10% cheaper Asda needed to be: £14.19 £12.49 £7.14 £9.81
Compared to the 10% cheaper price £0.76 more £0.56 less £0.83 more
£3.61 less Asda was... Not 10% cheaper 10% cheaper Not 10% cheaper
10% cheaper

13 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
1x I Can't Believe It's So Good Original Spread (500g) £1.00 N/A
2x ASDA Smart Price 50 Cocktail Sausage Rolls (700g) £1.76 £1.76
1x ASDA Baked Beans & Sausages in Tomato Sauce (405g) £0.45 N/A

5x ASDA Soft White Toastie Thick Sliced (800g) £2.75 N/A
Comparison total (compared products only) £7.97 £7.94
+£0.03 cheaper

So, my final receipt: result could be read as they are not 10% cheaper than anywhere but at least they don't promise to be anymore. Last time the Reduced Fat Garlic Baguettes didn't compare but the regular ones did - now the above ones don't compare, so I couldn't win either way:rotfl:.

Thanks, had found it using search which is a first for me.....

No Dr Os cupcakes or Chicago Town try for free pizza for me which were on my list.

22.54.....

Drumroll.....£8.60. As usual, not perfect, the Fuel10k that I thought was on COS was only at Sains...then again it was a quid cheaper in A but wouldn't have bought it for £2-10%.

Now the fun bit of getting the CS to understand that altho9ugh APG is over they are still accepted.
