I'm not sure about whether you have to buy in 2's. But if I get up in good time I'll test 4

Not sure that'll assist us though as it's still an even number:rotfl:. Need an odd number to see if one works.

A vs T
1 x Cadbury Fairtrade Dairy Milk Buttons (14.4g) £0.20 N/A
1 x Haribo Maoam Giant Strawberry Stripes £0.10 £0.10
4 x Jacob's Biscuits for Cheese (900g) £20.00 £12.00
1 x Candyland Flumps Mallow Twists (12g) £0.10 £0.10
1 x Haribo Starmix £0.10 £0.10
1 x Haribo Tangfastics £0.10 £0.10
1 x Nestle Milkybar (12g) £0.25 N/A
3 x Cadbury Roses (753g) £15.00 £15.00
1 x Cadbury Roses (321g) £1.50 N/A

A vs M
1 x Cadbury Roses (321g) £1.50 £3.00
no good for CnC

Not Roses but I noticed that the Heroes (323g) - :(they have gone really down in weight, were 400g, then 350g, now 323g:( - actually I see it is the Roses as well are, supposedly, £1.50 in Morries. Is this price any good? Have I missed them? Assuming that the £1.50 has gone on today, it won't be in the system until tomorrow mid-morning at the earliest. I didn't know the beggars were £1.50 instore in A - doesn't look so good now (ignoring the M price on the APG) for instore APG amounts compared to the £4 showing online:(. Would be C&C, as you say, but would need M price to return at £1.50. It won't do so today as stuck on last Wednesday:(.

Jacobs Biscuits for Cheese 250g are £1 in M. They've not returned to the list since they caught me by comparing vs £2 some weeks ago. Maybe they are comparing vs £1 now. If not, then maybe the £1 difference - between T and M - would make the remaining £1 there having bought 5 packs of cod fillets (and 8 neutral other unique items, that count is excluding the Biscuits for Cheese themselves).

I think I'll go - otherwise I'll get widely out of routine for an early start on Xmas Eve. The BM system isn't letting me check my receipt from a couple of days ago yet (seems to be taking a day longer for the info. to become available). But the following worked (not that I'd get them without the 10%, Cod Fishcakes (of all things:rotfl:) would be Avs T 75p and own brand version in A is far cheaper by weight than expensive Birds Eye, but I got them because I was buying them with "free" loyalty points):

Birds Eye Cod Fishcakes (198g)
Birds Eye 2 pack Crispy Chicken (bizarrely I got two of these £3.30 total vs £2.00 total, when 4 pack are £1.75 in S and 'should' be bought in T at £1.62 - definitely NOT vs M though, which must mean they are potential Mvs T. With the Tango 6 cans packs:rotfl:. I worked out that, if I got the 4 pack at £1.75 there was no way of adding £1.30 (or £1.25 as I lost 5p) to my BM from the remaining £1.55 (£3.30-£1.75) that I would then need to reach my target spend. There is nothing that is £1.55 in S that is £1.30 cheaper in A:rotfl:. So, completely bizarrely, it worked out that, because of my unique spend and conditional spend it actually worked out better to get two of the 4 pack and match £2 rather than get one 4 pack at £1.75. I know: very strange).
175g Sensations Roasted Chicken & Thyme (I should have got Doritos 225g:p:o)
Alpen Sultana & Apple 5 pack
Shloer Berry Punch 750ml

The Phil Smith Wow Brunette Shampoo - 50p in S also returns without loss vs A (N/A!).

The Codcakes may have returned as Cod Cakes or as Cod Fishcakes and thus not have been picked up, also whether the "in Breaded Crumbs" would have been identified, and the lack of a number even though identical weight.
The Birds Eye Crispy Chicken packs have the weight but not number on a.com.
Whether the absence of the word "Roasted" from the Sensations would result in a "Non-comparable".
Alpen Apple & Sultana vs Sultana & Apple, and remembering that the symbol "&" in the Pringles Salt & Vinegar a few weeks before, instead of the use of the word "and", may have caused an issue with that. BM description says "and". A.com says "&". May return non-comp. The Alpen also had no weight on a.com (they appear to be - I cannot say for sure until I see the actual comp. - on BM as 5x19g but a.com just has 5pk, although this it seems is not an issue on this product - Alpen Light Cherry Bakewell proven to compare on earlier shopping. I had added confidence from this a few weeks back when the Kellogg's Variety pack - has a weight in Sains - just says 8pk on a.com - nonetheless compared correctly. (Again, I would not normally compare against a then £1 price (now no longer on) but in these special circumstances of 'free' loyalty points, it's a different matter.) Although BM T&Cs do stress products have to be the exact same size and weight, the BM does sometimes nonetheless compare vs minor differences even though this is not stated in the T&Cs: http://press.which.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/16-19_SupermarketPriceMatching_R3.pdf).
Shloer Berry Punch - some had "Sparkling" in the name on a.com, most did not. I picked this one as, supposedly, a "safer" one, of a seemingly potentially very risky bunch, as it had "Sparkling" there even though, on sains.co.uk, it was the one where that word was missing.

They all worked - or, at least I got a £10 BM that I was expecting so, unless something in there massively glitched versus a way cheaper price than it 'should' have done, all these items appear to have worked.
Remember this shop was now a couple of days ago, so would need to check a.com to see that A's prices haven't changed. These items would normally not be Svs A but would be Avs elsewhere.

Goodnight!:)
