    My first thought (during the checking) was that you managed to get some 400g ones (also on 2 for £3.50 in A) rather than 454g. But that would have been strange, as I can see no Lincs 400g ones on msm, whether signed in or out. Then again, I can see none of the glitchy Impulse or Lynxs on msm (in or out) - presumably that's why that's been working?

    It looks like there are two comparable sausages packs at S on msm - Sains. British Lincs. Sausages (8 per pack - 454g), at £1.39/Any 2 for £2.00, and Sains. Butcher's Pork Choice Lincs. Sausages (8 per pack - 454g) which are £2.00/Any 2 for £3.50 and that, overnight, the APG has somehow flipped to comparing against the last ones rather than the first. Or..maybe this is a 'regional' thing? The 'correct' Sains. sausages (the ones we want the A ones to compare to) are the Saus. British ones, but the more expensives ones don't mention British.

    Are you in Scotland (which uses a different database due to the alcohol offers available to elsewhere)? Or is your version of the A sausages different to some of the rest of ours? Maybe sausages bought in Wales don't work as they aren't the "British" ones found in other regions?? (E.g. my semi-skimmed 4pint milk is called "British" and I'm in England - but I notice some of our friends that live in (or shop in/near) Wales, have theirs appearing as "A Welsh Semi-Skimmed Milk" (and these can give different results compared to T, S, W and M as the prices are collected for different regions).) Barcode on your sausages (and the OP's) etc.? [Edit: I note yours is coming up as "British" too - maybe diff. packs?? Otherwise - who knows??!?]

    2 for £2 on 454g sausages is fairly standard, to me, and A's are really expensive. I often see M on £1 for 454g sausages or 2 for £2. And Lidl of course have offers on the ones there from time to time.

    In Scotland, but says Butcher's Selection British 8 Lincolnshire Sausages 454g 2 for £3.50 on front. Barcode ends 5083.

    The vagaries of shopping!

    Still managed to get the shower gel and cheerios so can't complain!

    No as it's an msm mistake

    [Strike]Snakes??? What have I been missing?:eek:[/Strike]

    [:doh: - having a moment: it's the Cobra, now I've clicked in and understand! Thought it was some stupid Jelly Snakes sweets minor glitch for a moment then:rotfl:] For someone whose mind works off "exact words", it confuses me sometimes when a different word (e.g. Snake) is used instead of another (e.g. Cobra).:rotfl: Lost for a few moments in transaction, and now translated it and worked it out!:o:o:doh::rotfl::beer::beer:

    I think that's why.

    The msm APG database for Scotland has been linked to the more expensive S. ones:( but the England/Wales/N.I. database hasn't.
    Or something along that line.

    I can't see any sign of a multi for this one on msm or a.com which is a real shame :( but that could change so ne to keep an eye on.

    I cant even see it on my a.com, although it is on msm :(
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    Evening peeps!
    Sorry for the lack of thanks but on my phone most of the time.
    Just a quick daft question.... I looked online at sada and snake 12x330 comes up at £12, I see all of you at paying only a tenner. Should I risk it for a c&c tomorrow, I might go to the shop later on as well.
