    Pringles (:wall::rotfl:) are creeping up in price in A - were £1, then £1.24, now £1.50 - still no mbuy pricing on them - but most of them are £1 in M (M does not stock all versions and it's only the 190g that they have that they have at £1). Thai Sweet Chilli version may have gone OOS in A online, so could become a potential trigger but just not seeing fit to put an mbuy onto them:(.

    Meanwhile, the Muller Lights that were £3.88:D and 2 for £5 the other day are now, it seems, £2 each. Definitely better when they were 2 for £5 than they are now!:rotfl:

    All crisps safely compared thank you Op ... apart from my Pom B shop where I mistakenly included S&V ... in my defence they scanned as McCoys on the A app but do appear AvT if required in future (currently rubbish comparisons there).

    Lucozade Energy Caribbean Crush (6x380ml)£3.80/Any 2 for £6.00 £2.00

    Lucozade Energy Original (6x380ml)£3.80/Any 2 for £6.00 £2.00
    Lucozade Energy Tropical Fusion (6x380ml)£3.80/Any 2 for £6.00 £2.00

    Thought so. Like the Muller Lights that have gone to £2, the Lucozades that were glitching the other day have also gone to that straight price. So it looks like it's when items are going down in price that the mbuy disappears but the individual high price gets picked up. At least some price changeover, which we know, but on these two product ranges it's been that the price has been going down (to make them more expensive once it does so:rotfl:).

    Now, :(no good at straight £2 price vs £2. (It's worse than even just buying one at £3.80 before as that would contribute £2 to the APG rather than just 20p:(. Best of course was the mbuy no-show. I'm removing them entirely from the list.)

    Also, :(no good having Harpic White & Shines at straight £1!

    Perhaps the Relentless Mango Energy would have had a glitch has it has gone, sadly - we've already missed it - from £1.34 (and 2 for £2) to £1 straight price:think:.

    Toilet Cleaner could potentially confuse people - although I understand the confusion. SP Lemon Toilet Cleaner (why would you buy any other?) is comparing against T's and M's Eday/Savers Pine Toilet Cleaner.

    Meanwhile the standard range A own brand - Blue Lagoon appears to be linked up to Fresh (although that is a blue bottle) in T on msm and Forest Pine was linked up to some other T product - don't know whether it will work on the APG like that - but I'm linking Forest Pine to Fresh for M and Blue Lagoon to M's Blue - whether the APG will do the same as me I do not know. It's possible that Avs T, which is taken from online, could link Blue Lagoon to Fresh for T but to Blue for M, taken from instore. Whilst Forest Pine may pick up Fresh in M but nothing in T. I understand the confusion. It's perfectly possible for one product to link to one version in one competitor but to another version in another competitor.

    As I say, I don't know whether the manual collectors for A's APG in M will link them in the same way, but I'm linking Forest Pine to Fresh and Blue Lagoon to Blue, but, somehow, thinking Forest Pine would be 'safer'?:huh: Then again it may be Lemon Fresh that links to M's Fresh, even though that's not Lemon:rotfl:. I suppose it depends if the APG people have A's Lemon Fresh - which is what it says on msm - down as Lemon Fresh on their price check or whether they have the A product noted merely as "Lemon", in which case they might not link it to M Fresh. It's all speculation:rotfl:.

    Meanwhile, the Bergamot and Water Mint Extracts in this:
    ASDA Refresh Shower Gel with Bergamot & Water Mint Extracts (250ml)

    appear to be irrelevant as it is showing as merely "Refresh" shower gel on the APG(/a.com?) and therefore picking up a product in M even though there is no Bergamot or Water Mint in question in M! I also think that A's Mint & Tee Tree Shower 250ml is likely to pick up M at 67p - M do have Mint & Tee Tree although it is not showing M price on the A product on msm, but, flip over to 'shopping in M', and an M Mint & Tee Tree product is there!

    However, there is this (according to msm):


    Morrisons Shower Gel - Crystal Blue (500ml) [my emphasis]

    Store_8.15px.png
    63p 12.6p / 100ml
    Store_3.15px.png
    90p

    Don't buy in Sains:rotfl:!

    I think I am sometimes too technical and don't link things up because the strict wording is not exactly the same, whereas they are more generous and don't work like that. At other times, I link things up on some technical basis but they miss that as they don't link them up!

    Sorry no, it wasn't in my price collection:(:o. My answer was in my post that you quoted, I haven't been on this thread until just then.
    I've had a look on msm and I think 2 for £4 would be on 700ml individual bottles, or maybe 2 for £5. I didn't notice any mbuy price on any Wkd that was cheaper than the individual price on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. I was going to say "just go for it", as it looked like it was 2 for £3.50 and would then have been £2.50 even if straight £5 for M was picked up. However, I don't know why it suggests 2 for £3.50 in the URL, as they look like 2 for £8:(.

    I think you are being too tight like I am. If you are paying with APGs - or wombles - anyway then why not just for go for it You've had over £20 on a recent womble from them anyway, so if you lose a bit (compared to paying 2 for £4) in M, then who cares? If you need/want it, maybe just go for it anyway and forget whether it picks up M's supposed 2 for £4 or not - of course do buy enough items and check the receipt and if it works then it's a bonus!

    I need to spend a bit more in A with my successful receipts. I think if I see the Air Wick Double Fresh Unit still at £1 midweek this week, I am going to try that to see if it works. It's wombles anyway, that have given a few pounds, so if it ends up not giving an APG then so what? I'll find more wombles that are of greater value than the failed APG I'd have got back! And I've had failed shops of my own in the past, where I've not bought enough items:o so lost more in the past. Should hopefully be £4 vs £1 - would be great if that worked. Maybe people ought to be getting that as an alternative to the own brand version that has worked vs T:think:?

    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
