    Fray Bentos pie is 95p on MSM but compared at £2.49 !! So what was meant to be an AvM shop, came out better as an AvS shop. Very annoying but hey, we can't win everytime!

    Just a thought, if your not booking for the next two weeks, you could boost any T's cc points £10.00 into £30.00

    Oh dear, you are having a bad time:(.

    Regarding the Bird's Eye Rice Fusions, I don't know sorry:o:o. I think Tender Green Veg. might compare to M at £1 (even though showing OOS on msm) but I accept there is a reason why you might not want to get that. A being £1 (as well as the fact that it's one that more people are likely to be buying at Mr A:(). I do know that the £1 Rice Fusions in M has seemed to flip from one to another in the space of a week - or from two on offer a few weeks back to one, different one on offer last time, so much so that, without a written collection (I'm still relying on memory) it's been confusing me from week to week which one (or more) is on offer in M. I've not been noting it - I've tried to memorise but it's a set of products I find harder to remember - and, since some Rice Fusions are available at £1 at a non-M competitor, I've considered it safer for people to compare vs the other competitor and not taken details for M. We can only hope this sorts itself out and becomes consistent on msm - it's clear different sources of info. are currently being used for the APG and for msm.

    Or, alternatively, get me to go in and buy the items vs Mr M, using my own skill and intuition as to what is likely to compare as wished and what is likely to be more risky.:)
