The Twix slices are priced at £1.40 on t.com xx

Are they? (I'm only asking as I've not got to a stage of looking and checking for that myself.) Yes, I'm afraid you do have to check t.com (if doing against T) now - spent some time before my last shop (and before every recent previous shop), having got my shopping prepared on msm, then checking, on both a.com and t.com, to make sure that every item and equivalent was on both. And still messed it up - as, of course, the Galia Melon was on a.com but I was, unknown to me, looking at a wrong one. I knew about the situation over the Cornish Pasty being Minced Beef & Veg. already, so my first thought was that it is was that.

Now may need to make sure that you know exactly what every item you want to appear is and that it is on a.com (in order for it to count in your numbers) and that it (or the equivalent) is on the competitor's website, in order to ensure that the price you want is on there (and that there aren't any issues over names, ways things are described or ways the pricing is displayed that might 'confuse' the APG system). I know I'm just too completist about this: if you do it the way you should, it takes somewhat more time now to prepare a shop:(.

(...Perhaps it's easier to go to M and check the entirety of their stores:rotfl:.)
(...Which would you want though? Laboriously checking through websites at home to match everything in your shop up on each (although, for me, that's not as often a laborious chore as it is for some or many - time-consuming though it is:() or strolling at leisure in M?)

Evening Peeps.


Just been to my ex netto and there are lots of rtc tea, coffee and fruit teas.


Stocked up on CBY Assam tea bags as I got addicted to these when they were on offer in T a while back, 91p for 80 bags, fruit teas 25p, lots of different instant coffee half price and less.


HTH

Thanks for mentioning the Assam I managed to get last 4 boxes at my little store. Popped to the larger one and still £1.82 there. Even though they had a few of the same RTC's especially on the fruit teas.

I managed to find Tassimo pods Kenco medium roast in the large store for £2 pack, SEL just says roll back. So possibly a nationwide price.

I am destined to be cheap cheeseless. Still £2.16 in my store not RTC :eek:

Bit of deja vu after my chase for the Anchor cheese TM got.

There wasn't really anything I wanted. All the family know it's no good getting me most things as I always find a bargain. A decent whistling kettle wasn't cheap mind you.

Just as a matter of style, you'll have noticed I'm using the descriptions that msm uses on my M lists (that's if the products are on msm:rotfl:) rather than any other descriptions (of a.com for example) even though msm is completely irrelevant now.

I would be an extremely long job, to no point whatsoever, to go through a.com and change the name of every single one of them to match what a.com (or t.com) says. You can't do comparisons on a retailer's own site or know, from them, what's best value and in what manner, so I still think msm is the start-point for everything (that you now have to check further elsewhere:(, or hope for the best that they pick up the item in Morries that is there at the price you can see in your own M store or hope it matches what I have) - as regards comparing (attempting to) against M, I can see the A (or T) item on msm and, as I have the M product and price, I don't need, for the purposes of the M list, to check a.com (or t.com) as well - unless I see a multi missing on msm and then check a.com to see if it's missing there (previously would have just stopped at msm there - now need to go to a.com).

I will be sticking to msm descriptions (assuming I keep doing the list) as that's how I do things. Ones to watch though are if items disappear from a.com even though they remain on msm. In theory at least, if you're using the M list (and it's never the same M result as what the APG or TPP would give), you need to check anything you are buying in A on a.com first to make sure it is there. Otherwise (again in theory maybe) it will not be on the APG.

It's a pretty rare situation IMO though, if something is on msm, for it not to be on a.com, as msm takes from a.com and therefore you'd expect the product to be on there - it would usually go OOS or disappear from msm if it's not on a.com, so you wouldn't expect it to be showing in stock on msm. (It may be on a.com elsewhere in the country and this is the area I think is quite tricky now - you may not necessarily see that from msm, even when signed out, and of course you can't check that on a.com. If it's on a.com somewhere in your 'nation', even if not for you, I would have thought it would appear on the APG, assuming you can find it in your store.) However, sometimes things might drop off a.com and may not yet have got through to msm (as being OOS according to what's no longer on a.com), so this is one thing of which to be aware. Need to check a.com to see that something on my M list hasn't dropped off a.com (this is not something I always do on every item but I do occasionally have a look - but then that's normally going to be alerted by an OOS msm... and if I don't see that, then I'm not going to see that it has dropped off a.com... So, if you're shopping and picking anything off the M list, need to check everything you're buying is on a.com (and you can do that more easily than me). Of course M comps. don't apply at all in Northern Ireland.

I'm not aware that it matters for T PP (vs M or elsewhere) as to whether the item you're buying in T is on t.com or not - although, if it's disappeared from t.com completely, you might not be able to find it instore - or you may find it instore, on extremely excellent RTC or 1p pricing or something...

I think, fwiw, SP Toilet Cleaner has disappeared from a.com. So that's another item that they're not comparing:(. If that is correct. (Sometimes I do become aware of these things. It's not easy confirming that something definitely isn't there though - as it may not be coming up under one search term but change the search it may be there.) I can't find it - I'll go and delete that off the list (but of course could be available on a.com in another part of the country from me). As far as I know, it's not there. So - BUY IN M (OR T):rotfl:.

If you do notice anything that's on my list that isn't on a.com, let me know! (Probably best by PM or I will miss your post. That's if I've cleared my inbox:rotfl:.)

Alright goodnight!:):wave:

Heads up rtc - very large A - check the coffee aisle as various RTC (not just Little A then). Extra Special Induan Elephant Farm 5 £1.49 ES Columbian 3 £1.49 from £2.98, Taylor's Lazy Sunday Half Caff gound coffee £1.74 from £3.48, others too.

HTH

And CBY After Dinner is £1. There was also a coffee beans £1.49 can't remember which one think ES. I already have a good stock of coffee from Approved Foods that was £1 a bag so this is my benchmark until that stash is low.

None of the ground coffee RTC's were in my little store though. :eek:
