She has sauces in size, tins in alphabetical order and all sorts of OCD things including vases and ornaments facing the right way. I like to play, spot the difference with her. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry I have no idea. I don't think they publish it. Why not try asking them? And, if you do get an answer, please let us know.

It seems from a post earlier on here that T PP is already picking up the Dr Oetker pizzas at M at £1.25 each. It seems these may have gone on offer today (I don't know though, as I haven't been in M's over the weekend as Wednesday result on the APG lasts until the new week - albeit that it is now apparently updated into that system on Fridays rather than Thursdays as it was before). I would have thought the offers in M were mostly timed to end on the Sunday, meaning that Mondays are biggest price change day for M (with occasional few more changes on Wednesdays and occasional changes on Saturday for flash weekend-only offers that I don't pick up and I'm unsure whether or how the APG might do so)).

If that is so, that the Dr Oetkers have gone on offer in M only today, it seems that the T PP has already picked up the item and done so a lot quicker than the APG might have done. (We're told the Monday result off that is updated on Wednesday.) This seems surprisingly quick for T PP to have done that. Presumably the T PP collection was this morning (into early afternoon) and has already been updated by the time of the Dr Oetker shop in T (nearly quarter to five tonight). I don't know how they've done it - and so quickly. Perhaps they've just looked for the half price offers and updated them? Seems strange though. Perhaps they have a lot of people in lots of teams collecting the prices for them. I would have thought it would take at least several hours (3-5 hours, possibly more) to scan every single item in M. Maybe I've no conception of how long scanning takes (apparently, in the APG, each item is scanned three times, and that's in each of the six stores used, to 'ensure the prices are accurate') - maybe the T PP does it differently and - last time I read the T PP terms/FAQs - they used three stores. (Presumably one of which is in Scotland if they are to match Scottish alcohol prices. The APG 6 stores are apparently in different regions - I suspect perhaps three in England, two in Scotland and one in Wales??? I think they use one in the Bradford/Leeds area, judging from information in the footnotes of previous A adverts from quite some time ago, and wasn't the other one at Saltney, on the outskirts of Chester??? Another in the south of England somewhere??)

Thanx for the reply Savvy, I hadn't seen a post with a TPP comparison. If they are comparing :T I shall be stocking up tomorrow

You're right about them not publishing it, I had a nosey and it just states they use an external agency (I assume like As do with MSM) it's just a shame for us it's not someone similar to MSM

Only thing I can think of for them picking it up so quick is they're watching the offers changing on Ms website :think:

Hi my little cherub. How are you?

Thanks so much for asking, I am still here. Not been posting much as I am an embarrassment to the 5:2 club. I've tried my very best but I just can't do the 600 calories thing. I've really tried but I just struggle so badly. The headaches are a killer and my hay fever has been quite bad lately too.

Having said that, I have cut the junk out and it's more or less 2 salads a day, shed loads of mint and fennel tea and no collections of crisps/pizza/pop whilst in bed. Weirdly enough, I have dropped 2 more lb so that's a total of 4 lb since I started.

How are you faring and how are the others doing? Hope everyone is seeing some improvement. If not, I am sure in time you will see results.
