The only reason I prefer a can is that it doesn't go as flat so quickly. If you drink enough to use a bottle each day or two than it's fine, but otherwise you end up drinking flat coke as each time you open that bottle you lose the fizz.

I've refrained from this one as I prefer Regular pepsi, low calorie, sugar free, zero just taste of sweetners to me....YUK !

Glad to see lots of people stocking up though if it's there thing.

I make sure I screw the bottle really tight after each use. Also dd is always leaving half a can so bottles are more economical for us. After i finish this diet ( about November I think) I will probably save it for a treat anyway.

Quick question for anyone who knows...

If I did a shop in t and got a PP but had to take some items back eg nappies as got the wrong size would they ask for my price
Promise back if the nappies helped towards the total of my PP

You'll be asking if its ok to re-use an unsigned apg next

Really don't want to put you off FC but I am the most careful person possible for washing veg but the little blighters are invisible in Broccoli as they are the same colour green. You only notice after they are cooked and in the pan or on the plate.
Never ever again

Just use all of your broccoli to make lots of soup for the freezer, mmmm broccoli soup, yum yum yum!!!

Cant understand the snobbery re coke in a bottle or coke in a can. I have not had either for 5 weeks but I can say water now tastes good straight from the tap. I did stock up on coke zero for me and caffeine free for dd.

I don't think it's snobbery, more personal preference. I don't drink coke so I can't comment on the taste. BUT when AAU was talking about Irn Bru in glass bottles.........:D he was right, the taste from that is far superior to a can or plastic bottle

Then again, I have had no success with either peppers (sweet) or believe it or not, radishes, the most simple thing ever.....but I still have FANTASTIC plums

Do you not think it is because it is slightly less carbonated, and that improves the taste as the bubbles are not playing havoc with your tastebuds??

Maybe snobbery wasn't the right word. I would always go for glass bottles over any other type aswell.

Maybe I suppose. They can't be out of stock at all the Morries they check though, surely? I'm sure I saw some in my local M's yesterday.
Ah well, I paid with Apg's courtesy of JC's so can't complain.

Hi - it's not at A's whim, since they don't control the pricing data which is compared from msm. (Errors on the APG, vs M or anyone else, are both in their favour and against it.) M may well really have had the Red Cherry on both occasions (and someone called Savvy has it on both:D), but my theory is it is very likely simply human error - either the price collectors haven't scanned every single variety again (perhaps because 'normal' people get bored:rotfl:) or maybe they didn't find the SEL in any of the six Morries they checked (even if it was in other Morries stores). The whole APG collection is redone twice a week, so items that were scanned one occasion may not be the next and can appear and disappear from one collection to the next. This is how the manual processes function - sometimes in our favour though as with the Cokes on T's separate data collection.

It shouldn't matter if there was no physical product on the shelf in M but a barcode SEL was nonetheless there, although the extent to which things are treated as out-of-stock (after 7 days?) I'm not too clear exactly when and when not they decide on that. It should be noted I don't have the full range of Mullers in my main store, or my main back-up one, and the stores the APG uses may well have similar issues - although it'll be thought that using six stores might get a much fuller range.

It could of course also be errors by M itself - sometimes it's not unknown for price labels (store-specifically) in M to be put on incorrectly or remain for too long after the offer has expired or mbuy labels to be taken away when a mbuy is really still on - or to be present when it has ended. I use my own skill and judgement in that area!:rotfl:

This sort of variation in prices across different stores is what the six store collection (or, I suppose we are to believe, the three store collection for T) is there to lessen the impact of - and is why I have a couple of back-up stores that I occasionally also look in, for the odd 'dubious priced' item, just for confirmation when needed, albeit not on the 'official' price check day. On extremely rare occasions, the conflicting price situation is so great that I decide there's no valid price I can use (the APG/T PP probably do the same - in fact we know, according to T's PP t&cs, that they do indeed mark M as N/A if all three stores have different prices). This however is not what I think has happened with the Mullers - there is going to be no price variation across M's on this national offer.

It happened last week on my own collection (and to be fair it doesn't happen often, in fact last week - and then only on one item in the whole collection - was very unusual in that respect) - the Meat Free Glam. Saus last week had some packs with £1.65(?) and 2 for £3 and others with £1. I decided, with both on the same shelf at the same time, I couldn't say the price for M was either of them. This week gladly all the ones there are £1 and the item is back on the M list. (Whether or not the APG collectors have found the same is of course another matter.)

HTH.
