Now you can call me an old woman (I've been called worse) but I rather like this 10% cheaper thingy from ASDA. Just been online with yeaterdays receipt for £32 and got a voucher for £3.38 because tescos was cheaper. It's been running for ages but, being the cynical old git I am, I thought it would be a load of cobblers. I've put in about 10 receipts now and always got a voucher (ranging from 70p to £3.75).


Give it a go, you know you want to

Sainsburys do it automatically at the checkout The slip either tells you what you saved on named brands or a voucher for the difference if Tesco or ASsociated DAiries are cheaper. The most was £7.50

I'm becoming a grumpy old bastard just like Rick Wakeman and Geoffrey Palmer.

What really pisses me off is downsizing a product without downsizing the price.

 100g of Douwe Egberts coffee........now 95g.......with the 200g jar reduced to 190g. Is the new jar 5% cheaper......Is it f**k.

Then we have  bags of sweets.....250g. Now often 225g.....215g or even 195g.

Check out that  one litre carton of fresh orange juice in the fridge, many are now 900ml.

What annoys me the most is that the food industry insist on keeping the packaging the same size so that's it's easier to dupe the consumer.

Don't expect the government to step in on behalf of the man in the street either.........The mighty food industry will eat them for (a 10% less) breakfast.

Ive got another for you Opti....

Bachelors cup of soup.....if you wanted plain tomato/chicken/mushroom you used to get five packets in the box. Then they went and changed the graphics on the boxes and hey presto you now only get 4 packets in the box for the same price

Douwe egberts coffee has indeed dropped from 200 to 190g, but when asda are selling it at £3 a jar what difference does it make?

[Rods2]

Grumpy Opti, 

And another one is: Normal price, => 2 week special offer => then new price = normal price + 20% or more.

None at all if you nick it.

I do this all the time, even had a few receipts already in the trolley and put them through. The Mrs sent me in with a load at the last "big shop" one was for two pence, was a little embarrased at that one !
