    I think it's not working in Scotland. From what I've been reading on here.
    Such a shame as if you could check now it might have revealed whether or not the 'new' system still locks in the results like the old one did. In other words, once it's given you £1 pricing for A won't ever change from that. However, it looks like it was never working in the first place in Scotland - unless anyone there had an early result yesterday that did work?

    This would/could have also given useful information such as whether, if you do a shop on one day, it now updates the A prices if you check (after 6am?) on a different day, even though the data relates to the date of your shop. Therefore whether you need to check same date as the shop or before 6am the following day and can no longer leave it. However, as it seems it was never working, it won't give us that information, which would have been good to know, and it looks like you checked before 6am anyway, so that does suggest it didn't work in Scotland.

    Just checked again and it's still the same must have locked in the price thanks :)

    Looks like A have put their price up on the SP Mushy Peas as well - up from 16p to 20p so that's the only reason they look 'good' vs S. They should still compare vs T and M at 16p.

    Meanwhile I noticed the SP Chocolate Mousse, which went from 27p to 30p has now returned to 27p. It has compared vs 27p at M throughout. Fortunately M did not notice that they were 'underpriced' so didn't increase their price to A's 30p and, now A has gone back down, M are no longer underpriced. I doubt they'll now be putting their price up but will more likely keep it at 27p:).

    This is a fab deal. I was just about to get my coat, then I remembered they've recently rebranded their roasties and added beef dripping. Shame.

    Is it wrong of me to buy 25 suns from the same newsagents?

    I was told to put an order in future if I need that many, I said I'd let him know.

    With the problem I had using them last night I might not get anymore, I will see how it goes this week.

    ... yes! You should have got 24 or 27 as it makes more sense to buy the Cidre in 3s :D.

    I've been in work all morning fighting the urge to just get up and walk out of the door, when I thought I would check in on my elite buddies who have (most of you anyway!) made me smile again :)
    You have a way of doing that without even knowing that you're doing it.


    For that, I thank you :)

    The price data for M has updated. We are now on Wednesday. The portion cucumber has gone to comparing to M at correct price (24p). They've just bought me that on a womble:rotfl:. I know. Very useful as well. They also bought some SP Brown Sauce (so I can now check that:rotfl:) and a number of Quorn products:T - but none of those they bought are very favourable vs M. We can rule out Quorn Chicken Pieces (300g) - M being picked up at £1.97:eek:.

    Vs M
    1x ASDA Smartprice Mature White Cheddar (830G) £3.56 £3.77:T
    1x ASDA Chosen by You Cheese & Ham Snack Pizza (114G) £0.50 £0.51
    1x ASDA Salt & Vinegar Sticks (150G) £0.90 £0.75 On mbuy with Twists, you would need to buy both (or two of these).
    1x Salt & Vinegar Twists (120G) £0.90 £0.71
    1x Baxters Favourites Minestrone Soup (400G) £0.50 N/A

    I'm glad this is N/A vs M:
    1x Clover Spread Light (1KG) £2.00:mad: N/A

    Doesn't help though as still more than 10% cheaper on whole shop against everywhere!

    Brown Sauce is... 27p vs Tosso, compares vs 29p for M.
    1x ASDA Brown Sauce (540G) £0.28 £0.27

    You're right but in mitigation I wanted to just hand over £10 and get away quick plus I'm hoping to get a few extra copies tonight (if any left) to make my total divisible by 3.
