15.36. I did this same shop 'several' times today

Savvybuyer

Something strange on msm for the R White lollies. The price graph for A is showing £1.99 for them on 5/5/13, down to £1.50 on 12/5/13, back to £1.99 on 19/5/13, then down, then £1.99 from 2/6/13 to 23/6/13 and down to £1.50 for today. Yet - haven't they been '2 for £3' i.e. £1.50 all along?? I don't recall them ever going off multi. Maybe the peaks in the graph indicate when the multis were glitching (i.e. would have been £1.99x2 if you had bought 2 packs of R Whites vs competitor's price for 2)?

I'm not sure these price graphs are always accurate. I've seen other types of products, such as body creams for example, go down from £3 to £1.60 - when the normal floor for all stores is £2.00 - and yet the price graph for the store that, unusually, went down to £1.60 (these are fictitious figures, can't remember any precise products) later on it's showing the low that place ever reached was £2.00.

Or when prices have been fluctuating but suddenly go down by 40-odd percent (again an example rather than anything specific as I've not kept a note of details) - yet the price graph shows a straight line all along until today's savvy buy reduced price.

How's the packing going ?

It's going well:)
The boys and I made 3 trips to the storage unit: They love going in the lift and riding on the trolley:cool: I thought it would be a nightmare but it was good fun with them:)
In between we went to a meet up of the group we go to for parents with kids who have the same illness as ds3 at the beach and it was a good fun time for all the kids also being able to speak to other parents who understand is very nice- also seeing 1 of the boys have a practice in another child's electric chair was nice:cool:
All in all a great day:T

Just looked on MSM and they appear to have merged the coke /pepper / fanta lists now.

They have also merged both cheese lists.

Ah Well!

Those Volvic 1.5Ls (the touch of fruits ones) (best would have been vs Waities at 75p) were briefly in two separate groups a week or so ago but merged within about an hour before I could get to the store. I suspect this is just msm's computer rescanning every 8 hours or however often it scans, to keep the prices constantly up to date, and on the rescan picking it up properly.

(There did seem something strange on a.com as well on the Volvics back then - when I pressed for all items in the offer on one of them, it just came up with about 3 of them and the fourth one was half-pictured, without a text description, and then no other products to the right of it. Pressing on a different Volvic 1.5L in the offer brought up all of the ones in the offer. Then msm appeared a few hours later with the split groups.) Okay - must dash - more talk about Patty's dogs:D - see you later...:)

Flo - mine were from 2.50 not 3.50 - didn't try yogurt & have just realised that coke are 2 for 1 in Tesco & Dr Pepper £1 - so I'm at fault. Was going to go for the Citrus coke but on my MSM it's not showing in Tesco so decided to swap for the Pepper zero which was on the same list. KNEW I should have gone for diet Fanta & Dr Pepper - just didn't want the full sugar ones & not too keen on cherry diet.

Bit miffed that they fixed the cheese - whenever there has been a glitch on previously on cheese then ours hasn't got it in stock. I should have realised - if it's in stock in ours it ain't gonna glitch for me.

My come-back to glitching & boy did I mess up! Well at least I tried for the rest of you on the cheese.

Has anyone tried the cheese?

This one had some other stuff in as well and I stupidly lost a £1 off my APG :mad::mad:
Me and DD, a trolley each with 3 shops in each, we did this twice 12 shops :T

Many thanks to the OP of this glitch. Anything that makes my kids smile instead of moan is very welcome :T:T:T
