    Hi. I'm here, and have been for some time but doing the usual domestic things first. I saw my A vs M list developed a life of its own yesterday with all the Mullers and m'buy glitching. I gather today has not been a glitch day but the Mullers still comparing to the M price of any 10 for £3.00.

    I've done a special price collection from today - and the usual Wednes one will still take place this week. What I've decided to do is leave the current list in place, in case of any disputes on any non-glitching M comps, and also for historical info. I'm going to repost much of the list tonight, which will then cover this week (and I'll update the Monday one, which I'm posting hopefully shortly, later in the week with the Wednes. prices so it should cover us for this week). If we reach the magic number of posts and move to a new thread, I'll repost the new list on that thread (of course, also amending any link/referral details).

    To give a summary, almost everything on the list you've been using is carrying over into the new list, except that all Weightwatchers are removed, including all the WW meals and the cheesecakes which have all now increased in price at M. The Kipling Viennese Whirls have doubled in price at M, so are now being deleted. The Cadbury Crunchie offer has moved from the 4 pack to an 8 pack in M. I've deleted the item, and also the KP Crunchies crisps that I couldn't find today in M. The Asda Bunched Beetroot has gone, because M's weight appears to vary quite a lot whereas Asda's is fixed weight and therefore considered non-comparable.

    Someone mentioned the White Finger 6 rolls comparing yesterday A 65p vs M 65p. This is indeed correct pricing. However, it would be 'better' to buy in 2s, as M have 'any 2 for £1.00' on that item.* Details will (eventually) appear in the new list.

    The Muller Rices are *not* on the offer in M. For now I'll transfer the ones that are currently on my list into my new list - and add/delete more depending on what is confirmed or not.

    I'll mention two main things:

    There is a 'flash offer' in M on the Pringles this week, only lasting one week, starting today ending 10/2/13, the 190g Pringles cartons are 99p each. This is the first time I have seen Pringles in any of the major supermarkets being sold at £1.00 or lower per carton, since December 2011. Maybe I have missed them being on offer at a lower price. However, this is handy as the cartons I bought at the end of 2011 have now been, only just, used up. So it's stock-up time - possibly.

    M have the following:
    Cheese & Onion, Original, Prawn Cocktail, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Chives & Onion and Texas BBQ.

    There is apparently another layer on approval on the APG however where a product is more than 50% lower in price in M than it was the last time. This may mean that the Pringles come back N/A for now or at the full price.

    Secondly, it seems again that someone from M is reading my posts!! (Though I wouldn't claim that I have any power.) Last time I said the number of pears in their packs had gone down in size and, almost immediately, the pears packs (the pears in them) went back up in weight.

    Yesterday I suggested that M was significantly more expensive on its 'M Savers' range. Well, now, a number of items equivalent to the S'price range have gone down in price in M!! Not every one of them, but quite a few. The equivalents of the S'price Soups are now all 24p in M so, even if T follows S and increases its prices, I am still safe for the rest of the week, buying vs M!:j:j No worries over the Tomato version anymore, even if it continues to show OOS for T on MSM.

    Therefore A S'price Soups, Tomato, Vegetable and Chicken, are 24p for M. One of each - three possible fillers. Careful on the Vegetable as the APG collectors appear to use M stores that don't stock the Savers vegetable soup. However, for some people, the A S'price Veg Soup is much like water - then again, I don't mind this, and (perhaps rather strangely) actually like it. I like water, so why would I not like this?

    M also have the equivalents of the SP Shaving Foam and the SP 2 Toothbrushes now at 26p and 18p respectively. So it's back to the Shaving Foam vs M (but T and S also now have it at 26p). SP Toothbrush (2) showing as OOS for A on MSM, so possibly a Tv M filler unless A comes back into stock (bear in mind if it's OOS for A it might not count towards the 8 items).

    As you all know, the A SP Chocolate Chip Cake Bars (5) are a comparable item to M:rotfl::rotfl:. They've 'always' been 50p in A. In the last month, probably more, the equivalent has been 55p in M. Today, it is at 50p, so it's back on the A vs M list once more (which will be reflected on the list on here in due course). Beware the SP Fairy Cakes though - M's equivalent has increased in price! (So has Sada's, I now notice from MSM. T is still currently 60p, so A vs T perhaps until T soon follows suit.)

    I can confirm the equiv. of SP Fish Fingers are 60p in M (if that had changed upwards, they would not be in the 'carryover' list that I am posting shortly, which will then be added to tomorrow night).

    I'll check some more items on this brand level, and add them on if they are same price in M as everywhere else (I don't think any are going to be lower in price than elsewhere). SP Lasagne 250g - no - M is 39p, so it's T Eday Value Lasagne vs A at the minute, as A is lowest at 32p (and more than 10% lower)

    Hope this helps. It's more posting of listings and editing. In the meantime, good night.:)


    * "Better" to the extent that you will use up two and are spending more buying 2 than you would buying 1 - even if the price of 1 only is "inflated".

    A vs M 4/2/13 - 10/2/13 (-11/2/13?, or to 12/2/13 if you catch before whenever APG site's update has been done? Perhaps they mean overnight, in early hours of Tues.?)

    List is below - those who are confident enough can skip the intro.
    [Please see my post no 8188 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=59212599&postcount=8188 for some info. to be incorporated into this list in due course - edit 9/2/13: a vain hope perhaps!!!]

    Please note that the information about other supermarkets (T, S and W) in this list has not yet been updated and may now be out of date. (Also, Sada prices may have changed, but you're looking at 10% cheaper than M. Sada prices to be updated here in due course.) This is indicated by a * before the product name or group (e.g. in the case of the Mullers, I have just asterisked once (Mullers) - this means all Mullers in the list ("as a group"), none of the Sada prices checked again yet (though they are doubtless still 65p each in this case! Perhaps not a good example!) Typical to begin with a whole paragraph of explanation!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    "Vs M only" usually means the prices at other competitors are more expensive than M (and usu. more expensive than A as well) 'Until' dates are the stated expiry dates of the offers in M (remember offers can be withdrawn before these dates though).

    Beware mixing and matching (last week the milk and the Baxters didn't recognise the M multibuy - split into two diff. shops). Last week 3x semi worked, but results from the APG can change even if the M and offers prices don't.

    NB I've seen the Prawn Cocktail and the Sour Cream & Onion confirmed as working. Pringles Original, however, is coming back N/A on the APG, perhaps because the agency's price scanners are humans without the level of pedantry needed to scan absolutely every item.

    *ASDA Protect 50m Dental Floss £1.60 75p
    *Colgate Plax Multi-Protection Soft Mint Mouthwash 500ml £2.00 £1.64 (also vs T or S) - possible glitch on Colgate since I notice the one available in A for £2.00 is actually a twin-pack - A do have multi-protection soft mint single but it's 250ml and £1.79. Is the £2.00 twin being compared on APG to the £1.64 versions in M, T and S, which appear to be singles? Therefore, two within a pack for £2.00 but refund as if you only got one in a pack.

    Unloaded them at about 8:30, had some tea and now I'm catching up:) Didn't take much unloading though as there was too much competition of the unsavoury type;). Had to make do with peaches, apples, oranges,bread, stir fry veg, 5 pots of mini melter cookies and 10 bunches of flowers. Might have to go again tommorrow to see if there is any chicken or fish and give the fruit/veg/flowers a rest:)
    Does not sound like you did badly. See if locarr will give you his gun for a week if he responds I wont see it ;) so let me know and I will help you out.

    Thank you all for the responses, not sure how to include the messages you posted in my reply, like I said new to all this.
    I have been reading from the start but it is very confusing to me, I noticed ppl mentioning wombling and i no they mean receipts but I don't know how they make money from them.
    Also the APG I don't get how that works.
    I did download Shopitize on my phone as I saw that mentioned but trying to get my head round it.
    If I shop in a store and they are cheaper can I get that money refunded or does it go onto a gift card ?
    Sorry for all the questions but i'm a newbie who needs lots of help at the mo, thanks again.
