Morning all.

It's a horrible day here, the weather looks rotten. Could well be a snuggle day with monkey. I wrapped the last of the prezzies last night, (bar 2 that I'm still waiting for from photobox) food shop is being done Monday so this weekend is just for relaxing and seeing friends :j)

Hope everyone is ok, I'm off for a catch up x

Oh I'm sooo glad you got that completely accurate!:rotfl:

It's had an unintended beneficial effect, which I rather like! And it's less onerous than before. I'm finding the memory collection is taking half the time that the old collections took. They're missing the odd item or price, and leaving me sometimes doubtful over whether to include the odd item where I'm unsure if the one in M is exactly the same as the one on msm. (I'm using my judgement or sometimes putting the item on the list regardless but mentioning 'need to check...'.) But much of the same information that would have been caught on the old lists is there.

I've no idea if the online service will include the full range. I think M were reported to be in talks with an American fresh fruit and veg. supplier earlier this year and I thought that sadly they may confine it to those items, but they have opted for the Ocado arrangement and hopefully it will be the full range. It seems to me though the items on M's website have become even more restricted of late (they used to have drop-down lists of items on offer, although sometimes or often not specific enough for us, but I can't find them anymore (perhaps I'm not looking in the right area) and instead now show a promotion of sometimes only two or three items for a store-area:(). I've signed up to be notified of when the delivery service is available, but I haven't even received any email yet telling me it is. Perhaps, although we're told this is due to start "next year", it will start in December or something:(:(. Surely it won't be that late. Although perhaps I could be holding on till April.

I've no idea about 11,098 items:o - is that the msl app for Mr A or is it something now on M's website? (You're sending me to m.co.uk to have a look!:rotfl:) As I only collected items that were on good prices, some items never appear. Others are known to be non-comparable and don't appear. I do have more than 1,000 items on my "Mcomparable" list though. Doesn't the average large store have more than 11,000? (Although there are non-grocery sections that are being largely skipped - that will include every newspaper and magazine the store stocks, loads of individual stationery items and plenty of cookery items, etc., so would add quite a lot more.)

Anyway, at least for now, the new way is the way to do it! (It never occurred to me just how easily I remember that much!) The way is to go to M without pen or paper and remember the prices. Start the list from scratch each week and it takes less time than scrolling up and down and up and down and amending a previous one!:j:j

Good morning. Worth reading further back from last night. Full M online shop now visible using Alton Towers postcode on website and a new iPhone app as of yesterday with full online shop (not just the offers). That was the basis of my later comments about number of products and potentially making your job easier .

Thank you - once I worked out what you meant, use ST10 4DB and it then gets you access to have a nosey round :cool:. Now, who would like to let MSM know so that they can set to work getting more accurate/timely data into their APG comparisons .... 11094 products on their database at the moment according to the store page.

On a serious note, their model is apparently to have centralised distribution (rather than collecting instore) using Ocado - so if I order online according to reports my food is coming from the West Midlands no matter where I live in the UK, or am I missing something? Surely they have regional distribution depots/ghost stores if they are looking for national coverage?

Bump 2 with postcode - sorry trying to do on phone.
