To see if you were paying attention. Well done you! :whistle:

Ahhhh... I'll let you there!

There's never any moment it could escape my attention. Unless I'm literally in bed fast asleep:rotfl:. Look, no time like the present - maybe I'd be better to spend it on updating the M list a bit?

Not immediately going to that - again, it's at my leisure!!:cool: (Just to be forewarned - the 4 pack Cadbury's, e.g. Picnic, Double Decker are nowhere near the £1 they were before. Now £1.85 on the D/D in my cheap Morries!:rotfl::rotfl: ) The SP Chopped Tomatoes tins should no longer go to vs 4 for £1:(, I think. Although my M still had the mbuy SEL showing, it said "until 25/5" on it - I have one store that doesn't put the mbuy on show at all till too late, and this one, that put it on and now hasn't removed it! Unless, unknown to me, it's been rolled over - but how could I tell from that store?

In fact when I started the collection earlier, well what is now yesterday, I got distracted in the first aisle by no fewer:D than three pricing inconsistencies. So much I had to go up to CS and do not the done thing and tell them about the mistakes. They still have the Styling Gel showing at 36p too, the Savers one! I'm sure that's 15p! I've told them in this store, months ago, scanned the product on one occasion to check only to change my mind (even though scanning well lower than the shelf price:rotfl:) and still 36p showing. Whether or not they'll change them... Not much confidence there have I? But I've told them, left it to them, how can I (although I didn't say this to them) get correct pricing information if they have this? I undoubtedly came across as a very strange guy there. As for whether the pricing will be changed, breath not being held!!

The inconsistencies are between pricing on the bar code label and the actual packs. Apart from the Styling Gel that I suspect is still totally wrong. So I could actually tell from the packs, although this is why one of the items was missing off my list last week (it did come to light on a womble a few days ago), as I just noticed the SEL on that and didn't see the product packaging. This time, I've noticed both and no worries folks, all the info. is being used behind the scenes to go into the M list so not needing to tell you the actual items involved here!! I'd only just started the price looking - and just couldn't continue with them being so inconsistent like that!:rotfl:

The Savers Pickled Onions also still just say "Priced" on the shelf I have but no price is shown on any of the actual tins. Suspect that's and possibly in breach of some consumer law?:think: Maybe not anymore - have all the price marking things been superseded by the Protection from Unfair Trading regs some while ago??? Anyway, if anyone has the Pickled Onions with a price on the shelf in M, you can let me know what price they are! I suspect they're 30p and I've assumed as much on the M list. I've put them at 30p on the M list (on the S/P item) - be aware if it goes something different on the APG, that may be why, though I don't foresee it'll being too wildly out if it did (famous last words...)!

See you in a couple of threads then :wave:

:rotfl:

Night all

Night Dotty, Aau and all. Also hello day shift :wave:

I've just deleted some items off the M list.

Just so you know, the Lavazza coffee has gone up from £2.19 to £2.99 (I noticed that:D, good job I was keeping track of last week's price on my list before), I've removed the SP Pasta Sauce sachet and the Starting supposedly "Right", the SP Chopped Tomato tins are going, though I've to check msm.co.uk on there to see what it says, the Oven Pride clean syatem has gone back up in price, the Daz powder is now "Great value":(:rotfl: £6.00 (was £4 last week, no indication of that evident anywhere) so avoid, and the Kenco Rappor has been deleted from Tvs M (M now doubled in price). I'm considering some [Strike]Maxwell House[/Strike]* 100g in 2s and also some Pepperami 5 pack (now at £1.25, works out cheaper than the 64p single ones - my price on those is around 50p, so I don't go for what seems to be a 'good' 64p - and, anyway, in the light of 5 pack multipack for £1.25, a 50p for one seems very expensive, leave alone the 64p current price offer ones).

*See below, not far away.

Good night to all the good peeps of the night shift. Game of Thrones beckons! :wave:

Now:

I have this:
Peperami Pork Salami Sausages (5 per pack)
but not this:
Peperami Hot Spiced Pork Salami Sausages (5 per pack)

in my M store.

But msm says the M version of the plain Pork Salami, the ones I have in my M, are 100g in M not the 125g that they are in A. Based on msm, they should not compare but maybe they will if the ones the price collectors found in M are 125g (or if they've linked up as being within weight range anyway whether or not they actually are - 100g is outside of the range for 125g).

I don't have the Peperami Hot Spiced Pork Salami Sausages but msm does. So, it may be that they will work if the price collectors have them in their stores or maybe, despite what msm says, they might not work if the price collectors couldn't find them either.

These are here on msm:
Peperami Pork Salami Minis (10 per pack - 100g)
and are also in my M store at £1.25, though neither of these things mean owt.

So - take your pick!

Savvybuyer

I think these may be 2 for £3 in M, despite msm showing £2.18, although my mind is becoming confused between Maxwell House and Mellow Birds I think:

DrinksGuide price in £
2xMellow Bird's Coffee (100g)£4.36 2xMellow Bird's Coffee (100g)£4.36

Although, msm.co.uk is directing me to Waities even, with these at much cheaper price:
2xEssential Waitrose Mellow Flavour Coffee Powder (100g)£2.20 (that's £1.10 each - in other words, no need to buy two)

I think the Lake District Quark "Natural" was reported as having an MOC in the T mag earlier on here. This product is currently 62p in T, a very good price. Can be used I think as a filler on Tvs A or Tvs S (neither competitor stocks it) but not on Tvs M as M is back up to £1.25 according to MyS (and I have no reason to doubt there that that is correct).

Offer is due to end in T after 3/6, but may be rolled over (oh, that's still 'after 3/6':rotfl:) but I wouldn't wait till it went back up to £1.25 as the MOC then would be worse than useless as still not getting you even to today's 62p 'half price' let alone below! Excluding DTD possibility of course (once prices go back up) - but do you want to wait till then only for that not to exist if SEL is correct?

See you later!:j:D:wave::wave:
