    There was also another one I was pondering in the 3 for £10 vs T:

    2 x deep cleansing or moisture rich tresemme 900ml

    and

    1 of these
    john frieda sheer blonde for darker blondes shampoo OR John frieda sheer blonde darker blonde highlight activating shampoo OR TRESemm! 24 Hour Body Root Boost Spray (250ml)

    If it worked would give back £7-8 apg

    Again NOT tested.

    Hi there - a very good evening!:) The prices are in from another 'biggest ever' Morries price collection:D. Sorry I'm arriving a little late on here tonight though, and via RL, as I managed to close the window down and lose the original version of this post:mad::mad:. A question, beforehand, though. Are there any items, other than the Dr Pepper, that are working with the Sprite Zero? From my understanding from a cursory look at the posts yesterday, it seems to be the Sprite Zero that is triggering the comparison. Are there items other than the Dr Pepper, preferably ones which also compare £1.98 vs £1.00? (Don't worry if my light goes to red, I'll catch up and see any replies a little later.)

    The Morries price collection is huge, and this really is just a few bits tonight as there's way too much to mention. There are some offers in the frozen section that may be good, including some certain pizzas and also a good item to go with the Nestle Cones to be revealed later:T. Also - remember the meat-free items that are also in A's 2 for £3 frozen offer? They turned out to be there in Morries all along, and possibly one (or if we are lucky, two) of those items could be used as an alternative to more lollies! If - and it's a big if - I can find them to be comparable.

    Regarding the cheeses, the only ones that compare good vs M are the Pilgrim's Choice ones that you already know about. Of the three, the Lighter Mature Cheddar (350g) is the best one if it is still individually £3.50 in A.

    The Cathedral City Vintage and the Seriously Strong Cheddars (those that M stocks) are on full price in M. The only cheese to mention is the Wensleydale Creamery Real Yorkshire Cheese (350g) £3.00 in A (individual price) and £2.99 in M.

    The J20 are off vs M - they are now full price (over £4:eek:) in M.

    The Uncle Ben's express or microwavable rice are back at £1.00 each. Can you remember the full list of the ones that compare before I put them all on the list?

    The Coca Cola 2Ls are on £1.98 or any 3 for £3.

    Bad news (for the moment) on the SP Batter Mixes. They've risen to 15p and last week M was left at 7p. Tonight the M used was not very useful - I could not find the Savers Batter Mix anymore and it seems to have disappeared from the store. Perhaps someone when they are next already in M can see if the Savers Batter Mix is there and at 7p, or this will need another check soon.

    The Raid Ant & Cockroach killers are now £1.50, after the 'red label' big offer of £2.00 on them last week. Fortunately I already felt £2.00 was too much - and now the £1.50 is on the shelf with no special prominence:rotfl::D.

    This week the items that caused me the frustration (about how so many different ones were there and the large number of prices) were the shampoos/conditioners. Specifically the Dove 250ml ones. Not last time's trigger, but instead another size - details taken in case it is the item on a multibuy where another item acts as the trigger - although I bet it isn't on a multibuy at all now I've got the details ready!

    This post is extremely selective, and quite misleading as there are so many other different items that may well compare very well vs M. A lot of new items that have not yet been here before. So many to add - and so little time:(. I'll probably post the new M list near the start of the next thread (as we're not that far off 500 pages) - though - if I get a 'first page' on a new thread, I'll leave others to get more posts there before continuing the list on a later post. I will most probably be back tomorrow evening - well, tonight (Thursday evening) - and see how far I can get - but will then not be here on Friday daytime and will be taken away to deal with other things on much of Friday evening. So it's looking like Saturday for the last parts of it (and I'll get to it as soon as I can:)).

    Finally, I have information of some Harpic Max Bleach with Limeforce in M at £1.66:rotfl:. This is in case there are new readers to this thread and I think it's best to keep it quiet folks:rotfl::D.

    Your patience, as ever, assists me. I will see you back again some time soon.

    Good night:wave::wave:.

    Now I could be very very wrong as I have no idea how MSM works nor what difference it makes when things show as logged in or logged out but .... I've had a quick look and from the list above, I cannot see the following 4 flavours listed in Sada and when I look in Sains they show as N/A against A.

    1 x Muller Light Mandarin Yogurt Fat Free N/A
    1 x Muller Greek Style Corner Yogurt with Rhubarb N/A
    1 x Muller Light Fat Free Rhubarb Yogurt N/A
    1 x Muller Fruit Corner Blueberry Yogurt N/A

    As well as that I cannot see 'Muller Rice Limited Edition' so my redneck theory is that because there are 5 flavours not listed on MSM but they are available in store, the APG machine doesn't see that you have bought any offer hence the 68p comparison.

    Just a thought and I'm sure someone will be along to prove me wrong :p
    very well done for working this one out. at least we know now its not pot luck. I may get some tomorrow now they are about 2p each.

    Also these against T but need to double check price at T
    Weds glitch A vs T

    [...]

    3 for £5
    group 1

    Dove Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant Grapefruit & Lemongrass (250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00 (£1.30/66.7p/100ml)
    Dove Antiperspirant Deodorant Beauty Finish(250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00

    group 2

    Dove Antiperspirant Deodorant Invisible Dry (250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00
    Dove Antiperspirant Deodorant Original (250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00
    Dove Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant Cucumber & Green Tea (250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00
    Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena Anti Perspirant (250ml) £3.24 any 3 FOR £5.00

    Haven't tried any they are just possibilities

    The Dove 250mls I have vs M (potentially vs M as nothing yet checked on msm) are the liquid soaps not deos. Dove Liquid Soap - Cream Fresh or Cucumber & Tea Tree. There are some day creams at M on offer, but they are Olays, and the Simple Antiwrinkle Repair Eye Cream 50ml (£4.99!:rotfl:), Simple Regeneration Day Cream SPF 15 Green Tea 50ml (£4.33) and the Daily Essentials are the Johnsons Nourishing Wipes ones (25 wipes per pack) (£1.49). In short, unfortunately none that seem to tie in with this list of split groups (vs M). I've got to go. I'll get to more later and have a look at some for these - please keep posting your split lists FloFlo!:):) As this is really helpful:T.
