    So, Morries price collection, that now twice-weekly raison d'etre - or bane of my life:D.

    M Savers Onions pack (1kg) (T Eday Value vs) which were 69p, as far as I know for a couple of days, are now 50p:rotfl:. It was too good to be true - the Cadbury Triple Choc Roll, 50p on Monday, is now £1. The White Finger Rolls (6) are now 32p:T but that isn't one to go straight for - need to wait until it gets into the APG.

    Another go at 'spot the difference'. By now I reckon that I am the best type of person to be 'sent' into a supermarket to do this, if anyone is.

    Princes Grapefruit Segments in Juice 411g (in case the multis go;)) are 50p each in M. Pringles 190gs are at £1.24 (but, again, wait wait wait, not just yet;)). Ye Olde Oak Ham 300g - I dare to disagree with msm.co.uk:D - is still at £1. The non-comp. 50p frozen ready meals are still in M, but supplies are running short. Aunt Bessie's Jam Roly Poly is now at £1 in M (msm.co.uk, completely irrelevant, says £1.50). The Roly Poly won't be updated on the APG yet, as it has only just gone to £1 as far as I can see. So - not yet!:D

    Just beware the Chicken Drumsticks have gone up in price - were £1.74 now £3.49. The Peperamis are still £1.25 in M though - and I can confirm M, on the non-mini ones, is 125g (5x25g) and not 100g as msm.co.uk has it. So they should compare on the APG.

    Could it be something to do this this?

    I Use trend micro housecall whenever I get computer problems. It picks up things that ordinary security software doesn't. You can get it to scan your PC free & take away any spyware or trojans etc.

    Hubby is prone to clicking on things he shouldn't too - MEN!

    Can you tell me more about this WishI'dReadSooner.

    Can you use alongside avast ?

    Not that I have any bugs or I hope not.

    Thank you :T

    EEEE.....banks! Why can't just one person deal with all the stuff at once? On hold to 'The disputes team' now........

    What is the name of that software that detects viruses on PCs? I've seen it mentioned on here before? I'd better run something on his computer as well

    Malwarebytes?

    Sorry to hear about this FC, what a palava :(

    Wombles are... near non-existent at the momen:(t. Just been from A at an attempt to arrive just after the lunchtime traffic has left;) - and, it's occasionally interesting though, the consumer behaviour of many people - we've had a touch of rain and they are putting the receipts into their pockets and not leaving them in trolleys. We need a bit of sun:D. Only one I got - they bought just some Jacobs Choc Gems. Well, at least they are separating their shopping properly!:D:D:rotfl::rotfl: Even if that product currently should never be paid for outright in Mr A but is best bought in T or S. The 9 pack Twix is also best I think in S £1.70 vs 95p. Although that price match (attempt) is 5p more than when they are £1 (not currently) at a compared competitor of A, it is a 'cheap' price for Mr A.

    Noticed they are creeping below their usual £1 limit now - and being the only one of the big four to show any increase in market share (based on the 30,000 'representative' households used by Kantar) - maybe their little attempt to take on the widely-supposed "discounters". May not be good for wombles but may help T PP and BM shopping.

    I'm just off out to A for some shopping and to the other M for confirmation:(:rotfl:. I bought just a pack of R White Lollies straight in M. At least they will help avoid tempting me to buy 8 more items that I don't really need when I'm next in Sains (also £1 at the moment in S) and ensure I only get the couple I really need:D:money:.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Good morning all:)

    I don't know if anything can be done with this but....
    My C+C this morning hasn't shown the cathedral city cheese at all on the APG.
    Or incase anyone buys on a M's shop

    15 items (7 different) on your bill qualify for comparison ASDA Morrisons
    +£10.48

    0.17 x ASDA Bananas by Weight per kg £0.11 £0.11
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Orange Juice from Concentrate (1L) £0.65 N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Pure Orange Juice from Concentrate... £0.45 £0.45
    2 x ASDA Carrot Batons (300g) £1.16 £0.98
    1 x ASDA Granny Smith Apples (600g) £1.75 N/A
    2 x Green Giant Niblets Original Sweetcorn (198g) £1.30 £1.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Pure Apple Juice from Concentrate ... £0.65 £0.65
    6 x Anchor Spreadable (500g) £19.50 £12.00
    2 x Peperami Pork Salami Minis (10 per pack - 100g) £5.00 £2.50

    Comparison total (compared products only) £28.17 £17.69


    Hth x

    Which specific Cathedral is this? (The one you originally ordered whether or not it was replaced?) May be a... trigger:D, along with another Cathedral that hopefully does compare to £2 at M. Although: I don't think it's worth it as if it did compare 2 at mbuy price vs £2 x 2 for M, it would be £2.40 APG, whereas one non-appear and £4 vs £2 would be only £2.20 APG. These blimin' non-appearing items that take money off us eh?:(:eek:

    So...which Cathedral to avoid? TIA!

    BIG WARNING

    Reminder to folks NOT to click on any messages that pop up on FB (or anywhere else) that claim to be updating your security details.

    My idiot of a Husband did this over the weekend :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: and has just told me that his bank account is being emptied, to the tune of £900 odd so far :eek: :( :eek::(:eek::(.

    He's in bits about it. Ive emptied all the money out of his accounts into mine, and I've been on with the bank to get all his cards stopped and accounts frozen. Ive just got to start on the process of getting the money back through the banks fraud dept.

    PLEASE PLEASE BE CARFUL EVERYONE!

    PLONKER :mad:
    oh no. how infusriating FC. My dad is a booger for clicking on things - he even forwards dodgy scam/emails to me, brother and sister!! :eek: His computer got locked 2 months ago, asking for £100 to "re-activate it". He was going to pay it as well:o OH somehow sorted it out (he's in IT). Hope the bank are easy enough to deal with...
