    Usually no, but this frozen shoulder makes it difficult to do much, so presently I have some time to while ...

    Also, as after many months looking for a new job, I have finally received an offer, so the time I was dedicating to job hunting can now be used for something else ;)

    Don't think so. I first thought you were referring to it showing 78p A and 27p M on the product page for this CBY item on msm. I have it showing "---" for M, and didn't know that they do Morries regions on msm. However, it seems you are referring to when you put the A item into your basket and it's showing a Morries price of 27p.

    I'm sure if this were on I would have picked it up! 27p is the price on the Savers item in M. I notice, indeed, when I switch to M with CBY Squeezy Salad Cream in my basket, it's swapped and replaced it with the M Savers product. It's a replacement, not a comparable equivalent item. CBY won't compare against Savers: they're seen as different brand levels. Msm says "Replacement" so it won't work - in any event, the APG doesn't use msm for M prices.


    Of course you are right savvy, it didn't compare at all, came back as N/A.

    Nonetheless, I notice that I'd bought the Light version of the CBY product to see if it compared vs M's product at standard range (i.e. not SP/Savers) at 15p. That was, and is, not showing on msm: prices for M are obtained from instore and not msm, which obtains from m.com which still does not include a fuller range of products on there (they don't even have loose bananas on m.com). The Light Salad Cream did not work. Similarly, there was a regular version of around that size in M at 15p. However, it appears both have cleared out (they were on RTC in M) by now and they will be N/A. I've not seen any for two weeks now. The Light version wasn't working even at the tail-end of the stock being in according to me. Unfortunately, I think there's now no stock and no 'presence' of any product equivalent to CBY Squeezy Salad Cream 310g in M. By "presence", I mean the existence of a SEL even if there is no stock. It's a shame as this is within the weight range of a product that was 15p in M. However, I think it will be an N/A.

    Moreover, I hate to be pedantic - and it wouldn't compare against Savers in any event (apart from the unlikely event that they have mixed up the wrong products on the instore price collection, a situation very likely unique to the M comp.*) - but even if it had the Savers is a bottle whereas the A product is a squeezy one.

    *It does not apply to vs T or vs S, as the Value or Basics products as long as identified as such online would highly likely be picked up by msm and linked to the appropriate SP item - they would be extremely unlikely to get linked to a CBY product by the online scraping. And it wouldn't apply to vs W as W does not have an equiv. to the SP range - again, really unlikely that system would link a SP item to an Essential Waitrose or something else from its scrape from w.com. It's more likely to happen on the instore M price collection - e.g. the recent mix-up of Domestos 2L with M own brand and the Quorn Chicken Fillets with some other Quorn product (:( as both were more expensive in M than the 'correct' products). That said, it's a faint possibility.


    Of course you are right savvy, it didn't compare at all, came back as N/A.

    p.s. people keep their ironing away from me if they don't want the expense of replacing all the items as I have a habit of leaving scorch marks on things :p

    Can't bear to put my head under water either TM so I have never learnt to swim. :o

    Didn't help I fell into deep water when I was about 6 or 7 and had to be rescued, both my parents could not swim so they never forced the issue. I would love to be able to. :(

    I can now I am a big girl put my whole head under the shower and let the water run down my face so there may be hope yet. :rotfl:

    Me neither TM. Would love to be able to swim but can barely cope with water in my eyes and up my nose in the shower, lol

    So glad that there are other people like me :j I can swim, got my badges at school and all that :rotfl:, but terrified of water on my face or more specifically in my eyes. Even in the shower, I can't do that TS!!! The water, even in the shower stings my eyes :o I could swim underwater across the pool when at school, but only because I couldn't come back up until I could grab the rail and wipe my eyes before opening them :eek:

    Evening all

    I don't know where the time is going at the moment. In all my time on this thread I had read every page unless away without wifi . Have jumped back in at page 270.

    Thank you to kind person who sent me a pm about IDH tickets. Luckily I have found mine but god only knows why my devices do not sync everything:mad:
    Looking forward to a slightly non mse day tomorrow but if anything like Xmas show Naebbirac will keep me fed on lots of samples. Think mostly cheese last time:rotfl:
    Would like to buy some of the no sulphates wines we sampled last time (guy was a bit rude so we didn't buy. Think he thought we were wasting his time but we're genuinely interested as so nice). No other purchases planned but that is likely to change and I have 2 collapsible bags packed incase.
    Also hoping to introduce N to my lovely and very kind mse friend;)

    Have a great art project on the go which is taking time but so enjoyable.

    Big delivery glitch next week please as I have ankle op and lovely injections to look forward to so will be off my feet for a week or so but my sister is coming to visit so have that to look forward to.

    Streth congratulations on the birth of baby is Isobel. Sorry she is under the weather and hope mum and baby are reunited soon.
