The supermarket savings thread

Another fantastic multi-save at Asda!



and an equally fantastic bargain from Tesco



The rumours of a price war must be true.

 

I think it's £2.24 in Iceland. How on earth can Tesco justify £4.60? All people need to do is use Tesco high prices to work for them, buying what would cost less elsewhere to inflate the cost of their shopping to achieve voucher thresholds, but get the difference back on a Price Promise voucher.

For example, when next shopping at Tesco I'm buying a 360ml Innocent Super Smoothie for £2.25 (£1.75 at Asda) as part of a 10 item shop and use a get me free coupon http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/complimentary-smoothie , get the £2.35 off my bill and get an addititional 50p back in Price Promise, plus it will help bump up the cost of the shop to £20 so I can use my £3 off £20 voucher. I have it all worked out the other items will include 4 that will cost £3.00 after Price Promise and will get me back £3.05 in cashback Clubcard Vouchers, to boost to £6.10 in double up promotions [1], so £9.60 off a £20 shop.

[1] And when I use doubled up CC points I'll used them in conjunction with a money off to further increase their value.

 

did well last night quick sale fruit veg, salad, bread and cakes at morrisons, should have been
£48.08 we paid £8.63 then spent an hour and a half making fruit salads squeezing oranges and making a huge saladlooks like today will be soup making also been saving the vouchers each week with morrisons match and more so have £25 off a £40 shop next week teamed with the £10 ive saved online with their points i now have £35 off a £40 shop next week

The champagne looks cheap, I hope it's not all gone before the next £5 off £45 voucher's in the Mirror which would get it down to £8.89 a bottle.




Asda have some champagne for £10 http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda..._Darcys_Non_Vintage_Brut_Champagne_750ml.html £5 cashback for over £24.99 and £8 for over £49.99 for new online customers http://www.quidco.com/asda-grocery/ or £5.77 & £8.40 with TCB (can be paid in Tesco CC points with 5% bonus) http://www.topcashback.co.uk/asda_groceries/ I think delivery can be as little as £1, or free collection in store. £41.18 for 5 collected from store after deduction of CC points = £8.24/bottle.

If you're already a TCB member then refer a friend (OH, etc.) and get them to order as that will almost get them to the threshold required for you to get £20.14 cashback for the referral, so get paid to drink champagne,

As this champagne doesn't appear to be sold in the other supermarkets there's the opportunity to get it really cheap by taking advantage of Asda's Price Guarantee scheme, say order 2 bottles @ £10 each + £30's worth of stuff that's 50% less on special offer elsewhere and collect from store. Get £8.82 in CC points cashback, get £16.50 APG (£30 x 50% x 110%), so only costing £24.68 for 2 x £10 bottles of champagne and £15's worth of cheap groceries.

***** Their APG also works well in conjunction with manufacturer's coupons. If 2 bottles of £10 champagne are ordered with 11 x £2.75 Ristorante pizzas that will price match against £1.50 (Tesco & Sainsburys have reduced their prices today to £1.50) . Get different varieties of pizzas + a few other items so you qualify for APG. That means £15.13 APG plus £16.50 in coupons and £8.82 in Tesco CC points cashback off that £50 shop, getting it down to only £9.95 for the 2 bottles of champagne if bought with 11 free pizzas. You'll need that number of printed coupons, but we have enough to do this, OMG £4.78 champers and all those CC points to double up!

Seems weird, one minute I'm after an extra 20p off a pizza, then I'm working out how to get the cheapest champagne. I'm bored waiting to take a delivery for an elderly neighbour who's unwell.

 

Free pizzas are back! Tesco & Sainsburys have just reduced them to £1.50, so free with the £1.50 vouchers printed using the codes in the promotional packs. http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda..._Oetker_Ristorante_Mozzarella_Pizza_335g.html

See post above marked ***** for how to use with Asda Price Guarantee + Cashback

 

4 Tins of Tuna for £3, or a damaged pack with only 3 tins remaining reduced by 1p to £2.99?

 

Run out of free Dr Oetker pizzas yet? (about 75 eaten and still got about 75 in our freezers!), then after eating dozens and dozens of their pizzas for nothing, say you don't like them and get your money back https://www.pizzaristorante.co.uk/guarantee/

Somehow I've got this feeling that I'm not going to like one I have to pay for as much as the free ones.

 

Just noticed that in some supermarkets that milk is being sold in 2 litres bottles for £1, but some are selling 2.272 litres bottles for 89p/£1

Some bottles are now smaller

 

that's too cheap Jiffy. We should be paying more for our milk in MHO,
Jenny

 

No, it's other things that's too expensive that make milk look cheap

 

There's to much of it about at the mow, a few years ago China wanted lots of Cheese, Butter and Dried milk powder a good market now things are at a slow so they's lots about, the french also have the same problem now,

Any way work this one out
farmer has dairy herd and is milking he's cows, the lady of the house is getting breckfast, There's no milk in the house, lady phone hubby, can you stop in the village shop and buy some milk we're out none for breckfast, hubby drives home forgets milk, lady says were's the milk, hubby says, i forgot to stop at village shop, he goes back and buys 4 pints of breckfast

 

In the last 2 years over 40 dairy farms around Worc's/Heref's/Shropshire have either gone out of business or had to change the produce they produce.

It's totally disgusting the way the farmers are treated by the big supermarkets.

If the supermarkets want to sell milk as a " loss leader " as they do with alcohol then fair enough, ( can you see the producers of alcohol selling it for less than it costs to produce ? ? ? ) but otherwise they should play fair.

I purposely buy my milk from smaller shops for two reasons.....

A) The smaller shops charge more and therefore pay more back to the farmers.

B) It keeps the smaller retailers in business.
