    See original post (the part in quotes) below. Sadly, the ones I've found in M and A (Tropical Fruit in Juice 113g, Pineapple in Juice 113g) are showing correct price on msm (50p or 5 for £2.00, not 25p etc.).
    M also has Fruit Festival in Syrup 113g. (You appear to still be able to buy just one, or however many, in A but just normal price comp. prices vs M's 28p (if it picks up) - but why do that when Dole 123g are 25p each in A straight?)
    Sadly Dole 123gs (showing 25p/any 4 for £2 on msm) appear to compare to nowhere else. May they compare to Morries though even if Morries full price on those (with glitch for 5)? I'm leaving the below still up for info. I'm off to fish out previous Morries collections with details of addl Doles on them after I've returned with some Doritos possibly (I'll probably have a record of addl Doles from offers earlier in the year, don't know current M price but suspect it's full price - eg 44p or that order, but still 25px5 but comparing from £2????).

    Left for info. in case anyone can work anything from it:

    "I think this is going to be a glitch:
    I'm just checking Morries collection, as Morries do have some of this product on offer at 28p each but not yet found the same flavours as A's.

    The Dole Fruit individual pots are showing on msm as 25p or any 5 for £2. (Any 5 for..., which isn't 25p each, but works to 40p each.) Therefore buy in fives, possibly vs Morries if I can find any comparable, otherwise vs someone else albeit not as good! But still v.v.good since it should think you've paid 40p a pot (if you buy in fives) not the 25p you actually paid."


    Just catching up on thread, RL busy once again.
    I bought some of these last night in A's and have just checked for APG, was surprised to get one TBH. They pots of fruit were 25p on SEL but compared at wrong prices.

    results to follow:)


    19 items (5 different) on your bill qualify for comparison ASDA Morrisons
    +£0.62

    10 x Dole Pineapple in Juice (113g) £4.00 £2.80
    2 x Dole Tropical Fruit in Juice (113g) £0.80 £0.96
    2 x Dole Mixed Fruit in Light Syrup (113g) £0.50 £0.56
    2 x Dole Fruit in Juice Pineapple & Peaches (113g) £0.80 N/A
    3 x Dole Fruit in Jelly - Mixed Fruit in Peach Jelly (... £1.20 N/A
    3 x Dole Fruit in Jelly - Tropical Fruit in Tropical J... £1.20 £1.44


    Comparison total (compared products only) £9.50 £8.88


    I did not count how many i was buying as i just picked up what i knew would be eaten.

    Have you done a successful PP shop with 8 items and gift card and carrier?

    Just because it shows on PP doesn't mean it qualifies as 1 of your 10 items. (Eg buying 9 items and re-using a bag doesn't quality for PP even though bag re-use appears on successful PP results)

    In one of my earlier posts I did say that we should be careful about making a list of where we are, someone on here once got a lot of hassle as someone found out who they were on here.
    As others have said people can read little bits of information and piece them together, you might tell someone at work you got a bargain at mrT, they might be reading a similar story on hear and think I wonder if that's them- quick check of the list - correct age & location-bingo-it's not rocket science mr columbo. Some people talk about their pets by name and some post photos of their pets, some post photos of their gardens, you never know who's lurking. Best to keep safe and remember its a jungle out there!


    well said 99p - i agree with everything you say :T

    .........You hear all these stories of people burgling your house when you are on holiday because you posted it up on facebook that you were going away. And people getting your bank details and using all your money..........
