    MSM is showing 1 x Birds Eye Steamfresh Mediterranean Vegetable at £1.00 instead of the £1.75 I believe you've been charged, correct me if I'm wrong... Which is more than likely the case :rotfl:

    I think there's two isn't there? There's a Mediterranean Vegetable Pasta (350g), which is £1 in A and comparing to £1 in M (also £1 in T and S according to msm) -

    Shop result posted at 9.39pm yesterday.

    1 x Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Citrus Fresh (750... £1.98 £0.93
    1 x Butcher's Choice Lean & Tasty Chicken & Turkey wit... £0.58 N/A
    1 x Schweppes Slimline Indian Tonic Water (1L) £1.19 £1.19

    Comparison total (compared products only) £15.70 £11.59

    There's also a Mediterranean Vegetable Mix (380g) - which is £1.75 in A, for which no pricing is shown on msm but I can tell you is now £1 in M. This only stands a chance of comparing to £1 at M after the update of the Monday's M price information (expected late this morning but could be delayed until tomorrow late afternoon - we don't yet know).

    Here the Mediterranean Vegetable Mix was bought - but comparing £1.75 A vs last Wednesday's price of £1.75 for M as the price information on the APG on Mondays for M is still stuck on last Wednesday's information. This is in the APG T&Cs - the prices will be for the previous day if the system isn't yet updated or, in the case of M prices, may be up to a week old. Namely, last Wednesday!

    The Med. Veg Mix was bought - I don't know if the OP was aware of the new M price but I suspect not as it's not on msm - and because of the CB were hoping for £1.75 vs either N/A or at least not an unfavourable M price, but maybe bought too early as it has gone on offer in M on 10th November.

    No one suggested it :p I tried it because I needed quavers and noticed they were on MSM as being £2 at M. I knew it was risky but Im a rebel like that :rotfl::rotfl:
    I put that there in case someone else who needs quavers tried it too, to save them losing 97p on their APG like me.

    Is that ok? :p:p:p

    Yes of course:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::o (I'm not embarrassed of course here, I'm just pretending;)). If you needed Quavers, should have bought vs M on the 6 pack ones when they were 84p in M a couple of weeks back - ideally would have been a trigger in the 3 for... offer at A, but sadly not - would have been oh so marginally better - I worked out 84p divided by 6 and times'd:D by 14 = £1.96, so they take 4p:eek: for the higher number of packs (then again, I've not checked whether they are 16g, 16.5g or whatever they are in the smaller multipacks). But - of course, it's alright - and you knew I was joking about anyone suggesting the 14 pack;):rotfl::rotfl:!

    Good on you... a rebel!:j:D:rotfl::rotfl:

    (In the style of aau1 perhaps...:rotfl:

    You didn't lose 97p though. You lost £2.97-10% = £2.673 - about 67.3p, probably 67p if fraction of penny still rounded up at the end, depending on the final total comparable bill of the competitor as calculated by the APG. Though, if compared to what you 'expected', it's a further lose of 20p due to not getting the £2 vs £2 and 10% 20p that you expected, therefore about 87p (or 88p).)

    A vs M this morning
    Pukka pies didnt work as expected (Im sure someone put they were 2 for £1.50 in A's but didnt show the multibuy on the receipt.

    0.84 x ASDA Bananas by Weight per kg £0.57 £0.57
    0.35 x ASDA Cox Apples by Weight per kg £0.64 £0.66
    1 x Harpic Power Plus Toilet Cleaner Original (750ml) £1.98 £0.93
    1 x Birds Eye Steamfresh Mediterranean Vegetable Mix (... £1.75 £1.75
    1 x Birds Eye Inspirations Chicken with Cheese & Ham S... £2.00 £2.00
    1 x Birds Eye Steamfresh Creamy Cheese Pasta (350g) £1.00 £1.00
    [...]

    Different products appear to have been bought, both are now £1 each in M (but Veg. Mix will not go to £1 for M until the update, if it indeed does).

    I think the Med Pasta is still £1 in M:rotfl::o:rotfl::rotfl: - didn't pay too much attention to that as it's vs T or S at £1 anyway. Pretty sure I saw two pasta versions in M, each at £1 (but each of them showing £1 for T/S anyway on msm). Meanwhile, Med Veg Mix and Golden Veg. Rice starting at £1 and Cantonese and Egg Fried Rice & Peas continuing as B4 at £1 in M.

    Alright folks - hadn't intended to post all that lot in a row (again:o) but obviously everyone left and I was just replying as and when. I've now caught up (of sorts) (as I've not gone through the entire thread or even the entire of every Elite thread ever posted:D). I'm on my 'in between' day between Morries collections, so I'll try desperately to get some needed shopping done in A later today (just a couple of items, killing an APG, on which they're well cheaper than or non-comparable to everywhere so no comp.) and see you later! Just remember to let me know on Wednesday evening what's glitching then.

    Good night/morning!:)
