    :(Mullers working:T, but no luck on other attempted glitches (despite showing full prices on those on msm) - clearly APG is running from some point in the past and not the current MSM, hence why (I suspect) it's giving £1.09 for T and not 2 for £4.00. Keep an eye on those mixed and matched crisps and soft drinks though - this might work at mid-morning or in a day or so (...but don't blame me if the wheels come off;)). Lilt (it has to be the regular to compare vs T) and the Fanta (certain ones) are, like the Regular and the Diet Cokes, in different 'groups' on MSM.

    The crisps did look good according to that. They're £4.00 each in A or 'any 2 for £6'. I first pressed on the '2 for £6.00' underneath the McCoys on MSM and it wasn't bringing any details of items in the offer up at all. As it wasn't playing ball, I tried finding another multipack in the offer. Click on the Skips, for example, and it brings up the other items too - showing a total of 4 different types, but the McCoys not there. It seems the McCoys is in a separate 2 for £6.00, all on its own, on MSM. This is signed out, but it is the same signed in with the two multipacks, one of each in the basket, showing £4.00 each (not the multibuy proportion price) and with one saying "swap and save" and the other advising "add 1 to save...".

    I was originally going to go for Hula Hoops variety (that's what I wanted a little more), together with the McCoys, but then saw Hula Hoops was not available in T.

    A little disappointing bar the Mullers, but not too bad as - except for the Cravendale - I'm comparing to fairly decent prices at T. All the items will get used, and I'll be enjoying the Mullers!

    Why £6.86?

    * Please note a colleague discount of 10% has been included for each individual ASDA Price.

    Unfortunately the Dettol and Mr Muscle not on 2 for £3. You did very well there, despite the colleague discount. The Dettol and the Mr Muscle are both £1 at T until 2/7 (in other words 1/7, at a push, for comparing purposes) - I remember when you could get 1L at £1.00 (less 10%) never mind 500ml. (Or, indeed, 1L from T with DTD on the price check for a few pennies!:D) Ye Olde Oak - people have been searching through the 'Savvy buys' for Tosco on MSM, but I feel obliged to mention - no offence intended - that some of these 400g Ye Olde hot dogs were comparing to 50p at M some time ago (as M had them at that price). Nonetheless, for 10% off 64p - or an attempt at it - the Ye Olde Premium Hots Dogs (400g) are 64p in Morries at the moment (i.e. last Wednesday's price collection point). Possibly available to outside Northern Ireland.

    Okay - with job now done (not as great as it could have been):(:o - is it light outside yet? - not quite - but time to switch out the lights:eek: and go to bed (double :eek:). Keep glued to MSM, especially Westie if you're around - "MORNING WESTIE":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:- as Sat. mornings are often multi-off times. I shall look forward to what you might find in my absence...

    See you... probably this afternoon (sometime) - bye now!:):wave:

    Well no point putting the lights out, will just leave them on so the day shift can have the hassle of switching them off. Night all, Morning all!
