Someone handed me an Ocado shopping voucher for 30% off. Sounded promising, even for a one-off.
With my Money or Your Life hat on, I took a closer look for potential savings. Results were disappointing, when compared to alternatives like Asda.
Here's a table comparing Ocado (30% off) and Asda (no discount):
Ocado Asda
Coconut Merchant Organic Raw Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 500ml 6.74 KTC 100% pure coconut oil 2.00 Waitrose Love Life Popcorn Maize 510g 1.50 Cypressa Popping Corn 2x500g = 1000g 1.50 Whitworths Ground Almonds 2.00 Whitworths Ground Almonds 1.60 Total £ 5.10 -30% £ 7.17
#+TBLFM: @8$3=vsum(@2$3..@7$3);£ %.2f::@9$2=vsum(@2$2..@7$2) * 0.7;£ %.2f
On the upside, Ocado has plenty of items I cannot find at Asda. May be a good opportunity to get these items at a discount.
Small tables are the perfect use-case for Emacs org-mode tables. Been a while since I used one, so great timing for a little refresh.
