    S vs A (as per MSM on 21/4/13, early hours - if doing it properly, you'll need to check on a.com)

    Cherrytree Chorley Cakes (4) £1.00 80p
    Young's Gastro Basa Fillets in Lemon and Herb Tempura Batter (2 per pack - 320g)
    £4.00/Any 2 for £6.00 £2.00
    Young's Chip Shop Extra Large Fish Fillet in Crispy Bubbly Batter (2 per pack - 320g)
    £1.99 N/A (T £3.00 - therefore Tvs S item)
    Young's Salmon Crumble 340g
    £2.00 £1.00
    Young's Salmon Pie 340g
    £1.00 N/A (also apparently, S vs T as N/A for T, or buy in S straight)
    2x Quorn Family Roast (454g)
    2x £2.20 Any 2 for £3.00 (but, last week, I bought this in A, with a 'trigger' item on mix and match and compared vs S price for one - A £3 for one. A doesn't have bogofs; I don't think they believe in them, as perhaps they feel they get customers to buy more than they need. Isn't this a bogof by any other name?:rotfl:)
    2x Heinz Spaghetti in Tom. Sc (400g) - also Hoops, Numberetti and Alphabetti similar
    2x 65p Any 2 for £1.00 (but was 29p each some weeks back in A)
    Campbell's Condensed Cream of Tomato Soup (295g)
    99p 68p (TCB s&s making them 43p) (also T 95p vs A)
    For N Ireland readers - Jif Lemon 55p vs 20p (as W have them at 20p, therefore Avs W outside N.I.)
    Silver Spoon Create Orange Buttons (100g)
    £1.00 82p (also T 99p vs A)
    Nestle Shreddies 500g
    £2.29/Any 2 for £4.00 £1.00 (also T £1.50 vs A) - Looks like price change in T due after 21/4. While here, I may as well mention that, for T vs A, Jus Rol Pastry and Shortcrust Pastry 320g are both T 1.50 and A 1.00.
    Aunt Bessie's Hearty Dumpling Mix (140g)
    79p 66p (T 79p)
    Mornflake Medium Outmeal Stoneground (500g)
    95p 85p (T 95p) - I'm doing v. well aren't I? - I didn't even remember adding half these items onto my saves in MSM!
    Burton's Double Choccie Chocolate Dodgers (140g)
    £1.15/Any 2 for £2.00 50p (T 57p vs A)
    Jammie Dodgers 140g also now S have increased their price - but price match to 50p A rather than approx. 49p net on Avs S.
    And Sticky Toffee Dodgers.
    Cadbury Fudge 6
    £1.09 75p
    Daim Bar 4
    £1.79 £1.00 (but waiting for M to go back down to £1 and then compare Avs M)
    Twix 16 Biscuit Fingers (huge pack!)
    £2.60 £2.00 (T £2.79)
    Boddingtons Draught 12x440ml (but check this, apologies no time to do so at present - as picture on MSM says 10)
    S £11.00 (Any 2 for £20.00) A £9.00 each
    Finish Shine & Dry Rinse Aid Lemon Sparkle (800ml) - but own brands cheaper A vs?
    S £??? (MSM says N/A but I know this is avail. on Sain's website) A £5.00
    Fairy Non Bio Liquitabs (10)
    £4.05/Any 2 for £6.00 £2.00 (if you have an MOC, as £2.00 is 20p/wash - still q. expensive for me)
    Wilkinson Sword Shaving Soap Bowl
    £2.29 £2.00
    (I'm become more and more savvy, and leaving out lots of £1 deos now)
    Wilkinson Sword Finest Bristle Shaving Brush (if you can find it in your S)
    £4.29 £3.00 (T £4.29) - probably better waiting till RTCs - also MSM is showing £3.00 at A as being lowest price of the year, but I'm thinking this is incorrect - haven't I seen them at a lower price in A before? MSM graph showing A down to £3.50 last June - I have my doubts (I think they've been lower, toward end of last year/beginning of this) - reason being this was on my Svs A before, towards last past of 2012 I think - and it wouldn't have been there if S & A were £4.29 all along!
    Sains. Emery Board (10)
    99p N/A
    Sains. Tweezer
    £1.32 N/A
    Dioralyte Blackcurrant Sachets (6)
    £3.50 £2.88 (T £3.50 vs A)
    Garnier Body Firming Tonic Lotion (250ml)
    £2.76 £2.00 80p/100ml. No comment!
    Lanacane Anaesthetic Cooling & Soothing Cream (30g)
    £2.50 £2.00 Perhaps the savviness has gone, on these last three items?
    Sains Basics Pancakes (6)
    20p N/A
    Sains Basics Handwash (500ml)
    38p N/A
    Sains Basics Shampoo (1L)
    40p N/A
    Most of the usual suspects (own brand) from previous lists (search last thread)
    Sains Family Rhubarb Pie
    £1.00 N/A
    Sains Large Pineapple
    £1.00 N/A (also apparently Tvs S according to MSM, but I wouldn't bet on it! Could try getting in 2s after 21/4 offer expires if old SEL in place as DTD would set you to £1.00, then hopefully add to PP 50p)
    Sains Basics Carrots 1.5kg
    69p N/A
    Sains Basics Carrots & Broccoli 320g
    75p N/A
    Sains Basics Fruit Cocktail Trifle 600g
    £1.32 N/A
    Sains Basics Vanilla Cones (4)
    79p N/A (T 79p, presumably Tvs S, or Tvs A, filler)
    Sains Basics Pork Chops 800g (frozen)
    £2.50 N/A
    Sains Basics Mango Chutney 330g
    80p N/A (Remember, these have been checked and screened previously, so must have been best price per unit of all the supermarkets on MSM - and these own brands really are N/A in A, as otherwise they'd have been on A vs S for 10% cheaper than S) It looks like T does not have a value Chutney (or any other chutney) that is as low price per unit
    Panda Natural Licorice Bars (128g)
    89p N/A
    Sains Basics Corn Flakes 500g
    31p N/A (but was price glitch on A 750g vs M)
    Simple Baby Moisturising Wipes (80)
    99p N/A (but check, as it's a brand! - also filler for S vs T if it really is N/A at the competitors)
    Sains Interdental Toothbrushes (2)
    £1.00 N/A
    Sains Little Ones Cotton Buds (300)
    80p N/A (decided works out better than Avs M on branded or own brand, or maybe M's cheapest is non-comp from A, but M's straight price per unit was found to be more than S's per unit on these) (don't ask!!:rotfl:)
    Ricola Sugar Drops (45g) - all versions
    65p N/A
