    Vs T
    1 x Douwe Egberts Pure Gold Medium Roast Coffee (190g)£2.97£6.50:eek:

    V expensive small jar (190g) at £2.97! £1.56/100g_pale_.

    I also notice a sneaky price increase on SP Mild Grated Cheddar (500g) - went up from £2.21 to £2.34, then back down to £2.21, despite never being 10% cheaper than Morries, now back up to £2.34 (any chance of any GC?) even though still comparing to £2.21 at M.

    SP Cheese Slices have also gone up in price, so I beginning my boycott of those now:rotfl:.

    They are lovely Poole has better though, Sandbanks is one of the best beaches I do believe. Someone will probably be along to tell me different though. ;)

    The hotel is on the cliff top so just a walk down the steps to the beach in the morning, me and OH stayed there on a living social deal last year so I know the food is good. :)

    We are spoilt living so close though you tend to take it for granted. :o
    I live VERY closeto a beach and believe me this afternoon I wish I lived in the middle of town, it has been good surf and combined with half term our little village was rammed, could not get my car off the drive! The price you pay! As you say, you tend to take it for granted!

    Allloooo :D

    Rarely have time to post or even catch up here now as you all know due to work ect but looks like I will have abit time now for a little while.

    Ive been off work all week cos ive ended up with a prolapsed disc :( thats the current diagnosis at the mo anyway. Had to get taken to A&E Sunday night, been drugged up to the eyeballs with all sorts of stuff. They were worried (as was i) at one point cos I couldn't move my legs but no spinal damage done thank good and im walking now with the aid of a zimmer and walking sticks

    Its just ironic that I have time off but cant get out to glitch so im keeping fingers crossed for plenty of online glitches :rotfl: I cant sit for long so need to have slow walks around the house but I'll be around alot more than i have been :cool: just wish it was under better circumstances :o


    .

    Sorry you are unwell Hope the pain eases soon :)

    You need eight items but most of us get ten to be certain eight will compare.

    The APG rather bizarrely compares on what you order, not on what you receive or accept! That is why we all hope the Udis are not in stock...

    It's not bizarre at all - it's in the T&Cs and is exactly what they say, so it is logical and completely expected to me.

    I don't think it is allowed hun, there are rules on posting comp links, probably would be ok if I only posted in Elite but I do go off on away days sometimes. ;)

    There is an actual place where you are meant to post links for comps and someone has kindly done it for me so it is there for the whole of MSE to see. :A

    Parp !! just gotta keep momentum I guess. It says till 5 march so thats a wee bit yet x

    It's these ones http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?Query=ASDA%20Flu%20Max%20All%20in%20One%20Chesty%20Cough%20%26%20Cold%20Tablets%20(16) however showing oos for Tosco but 65p for Morries. I doubt they will compare though as own brand. The price collectors will not want the extra work of considering if they are the same or not so will probably just make them N/A :D

    They've never compared against M. This is where we've had the benefit of computer algorithms picking on words and treating the T product as comparable - unfortunately the human beings that do the M collection pick up on the fact they are a different range and therefore they don't compare to M. They would if it were an online collection taken from msm.co.uk via its computer scraping of websites. However, it's not - the M prices are manually collected and humans notice the difference. The M ones are the bog standard "Cold Relief Tablets" - however the A ones are Flu Max and Max Strength is seen as something that is superior (hence the high price) and therefore makes it non-comparable (IMO at least). The computer algorithms don't realise this but the humans unfortunately have common sense and therefore do.
