    This shop targetted T last night, and yes I did want a Flump (I'd already used my Nivea discount). Thank you to the OP on the Del Monte fruit and just hope there's no glitch on chicken pies as they were quite expensive!

    I was not very happy however, when I flipped the comp. and saw the result vs M. The Del Monte Apricot and Pear Halves appeared to be comparing vs 4 for £3 at M, whereas I'd compared them vs T at 90p each:eek: I already had 10 different items on that shop, so I could have taken out the Apricot and the Pear Halves and would have put them on my next Morries comparison instead had I known:mad::(:(. Grrr...!! So I've lost money as, even when they glitch, they still win and take more back off you:mad:. I'm utter livid at that comp. result (shown below)! I've ended up paying Northern Ireland prices:(.

    If they were on a proper Morrisons comparison, they would have been £3.00 with £1.52 back, in other words £1.48 for 4 and therefore 37p each. I've ended up paying 46p each for them. Please can you check far more closely the results vs the other stores before mentioning a deal and make sure you are telling me of the very best possible price and not something horrid like T's 90p each price. I am appalled to have paid 46p for each of those Apricot and Pear Halves cans. I'm not happy about not having accurate, full information in advance and also about msm being totally unreliable (it says £1.09 each) on these - people need to be much more accurate and I really mean this even if it's not socially polite:rotfl:.

    Prices affected by mbuys showing in bold.

    The above M comp. seemed to suggest that we should be buying in fours vs M. I did a further shop today to see whether the Del Monte Pineapple cans should be bought in fours vs M, using items every else that compares the same vs T and M. Despite M showing as N/A on the Pineapple Chunks on msm, they do have not only the Slices, but the Chunks and the Crushed Pineapple too. I found all three in M on my direct route to Mr A this morning (a part of the journey that actually didn't have the traffic jams in it) - there wasn't any 4 for £3.20 offer or any other mbuy for them on the shelving but I wasn't bothered with that but just the range of M's stock that the APG might compare to a more favourable mbuy offer for M. Sadly the first shop has come back with £1 each for M and it compared better vs T, so I don't know whether the APG prices have been updated today (from Wednesday's results) and the offer ended.

    There are 2 gammon ones. The one FC posted As receipt for if you can find it, David. has just looked in his As and still £5.50.

    You quoted a post with the Ts one on so I assumed that's what you wanted info on. :o

    Even I'm confused now and Ive already bought both :D :cool::rotfl:
