Sorry for the delay as I was catching up.

Yes, but not the new Rice Rice Baby one as that's now on msm - also that picked up the 10 for £3 in my store.

It's the new Corner Chocolate Sprinkles & Black Cherry (128g), assuming it's still not on msm tomorrow, it does kick in the 10 for £3 unfortunately, but does have benefit of getting the number of items total up. Then just need to add the Ferrero Collection, and possibly a loose banana for good luck:).

With the Mullers (and the other items) my comp. said I'd paid £12 something (all items showing were comparable) and compared vs T at £9.66 or something like that if I remember correctly and therefore not 10% chpr!:D My total bill was actually £9.03.

As you're going vs M (on the basis of my results flipped over to the M comp.), will obviously be different for you - but I'd shop early on Monday if you can and check preferably in the morning. I'm just being cautious - in case prices update from collection on that day (tomorrow) - probably they will update sometime on Tuesday and Mullers picking up M mbuys may vary again from whenever the updating starts:(.

Sadly - I don't want to bring this down - I think the Ferrero is a short-lived thing that is unlikely to be picked up the same again in the next price collection (which is due to take place tomorrow). The Snakes vs W were a glitch from something in the background online that lingered on, and then compared for a further 'up to 7 days' as went out of stock for W even after the background info. had disappeared. This Ferrero is the pricing they have in the results from last Wednesday's price collection. It will doubtless change on the update of the new price collection. I could be wrong, as it's always possible that the same mistake that someone's made can be repeated again and again. However I think it's unlikely the info. will be collected again in the M stores on Monday.

Thanks savvy, I appreciate your help a lot. Unfortunately I can only get to the shops after the school run tommorow but will keep checking the thread for regular updates on the thread. I really want this one and I am I need of both!!

Thanks again the info that you provide this thread is just fab. X

Sorry, but how do you know that whatever the snakes were comparing to went out of stock in W?

We never figured out what it was comparing to in the first place

I only meant that the price information (wherever in the background on W's website it was) disappeared and then that caused msm's computer to treat it the same as an 'out of stock' situation.

Items may not actually be out of stock in the rival stores, or may not even be stocked there at all in the first place! If they were available at the rival, they may still be available in store in the rival but have been removed/taken off their website (whether only in some areas or all of them) and then msm for that locality, or all localities, goes "oos" (asterisk), even though it may not be - it's merely gone off the website or marked as 'no longer available' on there, even if it's still available in store just not able to be ordered, anymore, online. Or they may just be a virtual thing that was never available - incorrect info. put on a rival supermarket website may be captured by msm and then, even if removed from the rival's site, may continue to be compared for 'up to 7 days'. (I said "may continue".) Msm assumes it has gone OOS, maybe.

What time do the price collections usually filter through to the APG system please Savvy?

Oh, now you're asking:o. Don't they normally start getting through on Tuesday at some point? I always think Monday is risky, but in fact the price collection (one of the two per week) is done on the Monday (non-Bank Holiday) and I don't think it's updated that day. That said I think it's just chance - haven't I seen some new info. reflected in the APG on Monday afternoons before?:think: Perhaps, on the contrary, it's safe tomorrow but risky more and more the more it goes on on Tuesday. It of course goes without saying that, whenever you do your shop, you should *not* wait two or three days before checking, but check immediately you can. IMO.

In short, I know absolutely nothing at all and have no idea sorry:o:o:o:rotfl:.

Yes it was (or, rather, wasn't). Causing me to go away for a while but I'm back!

I got a nice gift card of £2 for this last week.

This with the Mullers - I suspect you did. I don't know if I'm being a little misunderstood about this though? Wasn't it the "Rice Rice Baby" that wasn't giving the mbuy instore earlier in the week, therefore £2 GC and full price as that was what you paid originally? That was well and good but I was never able to sit down and figure it out properly and get to any shopping all week, but kept incommunicado by day, stuck at work. Would have been even worse if I'd still been doing the Morries collections. The Rice Rice Baby is not only now picking up the mbuy instore in A:(, but is also now on msm so, subject to anyone contradicting me, it does not work now.

I've therefore had to settle for 'the best I could' at the time when I could get round to it. A bit like buying toilet rolls when they've ran out and the free ones are no longer available.

It's *not* the Rice Rice Baby Smooth Chocolate & Caramel now, but a different item (which I'm not sure was posted earlier in the week but may well have been if I'd missed it).

This one:



B/C ends 180379.

Are we talking same one or is this cross-purposes as I suspect it may be?

The mbuy does get picked up instore unfortunately (just like it does with the Rice Rice Baby) but then, unlike the Rice Rice Baby now I suspect, it acts as a trigger giving full price on the rest that appear on the comp. Best I could do at this point in time. DO NOT get Rice Rice Baby! Not only does it not compare vs T, thus gives no APG, it also picks up 10 for £3 and I suspect appears on the comp. thus would go 30p on everything vs 60p elsewhere (two lots of 5 for £3) - thus you lose, it's more than 10% chpr!

But with the 'never getting able to do things', I've managed to book 'a day or two' off, so I'm still here (though I'm getting tired:(:( as if it's normal start of working week).

My theory.

I just added the 'maybe' as it's my theory. But it's, probably, correct!:D:D

Possibly, probably:rotfl::rotfl:.

Don't know if an Avs T is worth it as it's near price-change day isn't it?
Nevertheless, I'll go and have a look at what I've got there (ignoring the Mullers).

Hi everyone
Talking of soup - I know it's not very MSE but I have just ordered myself a soup maker. The Morphy Richards one is £40 at Amazon (and Asda) and I had some vouchers and have wanted one for ages so I have ordered. Was hoping for the Cuisinart but the price does not seem to be budging on that one.

By the way, when I was browsing on Amazon, I remembered about the Letters of Note book I almost ordered at Christmas time. Am debating whether to get the kindle version - I think it was Truly Madly who has already bought it - would you recommend? TIA x

I would reccommend the book. I bought if for my dad as an extra xmas present and he had so much fun reading it. He said you never knew who would be on the next page. Very good coffee table book as great to dip in and out of.

Still catching up but thanks Anon, elliemoo and miffie

Sorry to ask another question (it feels like my first week all over again!) but does anyone know if you can stack coupons in mr shoes. Ie. 2.50 off 10 conditional spend, minus other coupons? So basically if I hand them the conditional spend coupon first can I then hand over ones that reduce the cost further? Thank you please hope that makes sense

All mr shoes voucher say not to be used with another. SA willing or try ss tills as these happily take no7 mocs;)
