My soup vouchers never go though. It is the vouchers for some reason the tills don't like them

Mine put them through manually, as they know they void off at the end. Wish Asda would get the system fixed.

Is there anything else that's glitching (besides the DW tabs) before I go to A, only to come back and find there's yet more stuff that I ought to have bought?:o:o TIA.

I'm sorry just to be coming and nicking all the glitches everyone else is finding:o, although I hope I am being very useful indeed about Morrisons items and prices so certainly contributing my own stuff! Which is useful that we get different people contributing different things:T.

I am afraid that is all I have found today, but I believe Henlans was hinting this morning, that he had found some others!

Sorry, posted before I said "Good Afternoon Everyone :wave: "

Oh and Gourmet perle cat food and Bakers dog food should be coming off multi, but there are no really good comparisons, so I didn't bother posting them.:)

The MOC from the NCG website scans fine at Sainsburys but the ones from mymail do NOT scan at Sainsburys.

I normally scan 2 on the self scan without need for the assistant. Does anyone know if it would work scanning 3 ?

Up to £2.50 doesnt need approval in Sainsbobs SS tills.

The only thing he's found is his wife can't count :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks squigs:cool:

Just a preview, the Cornetto 5 packs, assuming they are still on a.com, will be making an appearance/re-appearance:o(:rotfl:) on the M list later. This isn't the one I was referring to earlier - I've also rediscovered the Nestle Fab Minis in M which are around the £1 mark (will check the exact price from my notes later). I have the Cornetto Strawberry and I think I also have Mint now (which I didn't have at all earlier - I know, slack job again searching the entirety of 3 regular stores:rotfl:) - I now don't have Chocolate:o as it's not in any of the 36 stores I've seen in the past week or so, although (only from knowledge from before, which price collectors would not use) I am sure it must be stocked in M somewhere. I know - I'm as bad as the APG and TBG collectors:rotfl:.

The Chocolate one did appear briefly on the list many weeks ago, on one random occasion, when a pack suddenly appeared in one of my regulars and I had to go and scan it as there was no SEL at all. (Hmmm...maybe that Strawberry 5 SEL is right after all:think:. Or maybe it is only Chocolate 5 at £1 and M doesn't stock any Strawberry 5 at all as Strawberry 4 is in the store and it is £1:think::think: (confused!:huh:).) I've not seen any stock there of the Chocolate 5 since and there's no SEL to indicate that M even have this product in any of the stores I've been to I'm now sure they do but, without finding it, I can't put it back onto the list where it should probably have been continuously.

Of course, it may be that if you buy the Strawberry that I have, it may return N/A if it's not in any of the 6 stores the APG collectors use. Perhaps you should have bought Chocolate instead:doh: (assuming that is sold by A - I can't remember) as they might have a SEL for that in their stores but no Strawberry:rotfl:.

To avoid repeating myself and so that I am not as verbose in future, when I say that an item is "in" a store I mean that there is stock or there is a SEL for the item even if it is OOS at the time of my visit. However, the price schemes I think would require a SEL, so that either the item can be both in stock and have a SEL specifically for it or there is a SEL but no stock. There could potentially be what I call "errant SELs" in various Ms in the country for products that M no longer has but which the M staff in that store simply have never removed the SEL from the display. Potentially - and in the unlikely event (but then every store is unlikely but it has got to be some of them!) that that store was being used by the price collectors - this could mean that various items, probably of extremely good value as they have sold out, could be picked up from time to time on the price schemes.

Whilst I wouldn't call it "extremely" good value - it's not an unmarked RTC SEL at very low price - this is probably the case with the Quorn Steak Strips from earlier. There is no stock of this product that I can find so far and, in most stores, there is no evidence of the product at all but I do have two errant SELs. I cannot say that this means that M does not have stock of the product still available in some store somewhere that I have not seen. If I see just a SEL - and I think this is also the rationale behind the price schemes - then I assume that the product must be in stock in M somewhere. (After all, various items can temporarily go completely OOS in one store and yet be clearly in plentiful evidence and stock in another store on the same day - I do have at least one item that I found OOS but had a SEL for it in my primary store yesterday but I found stock for it (unnecessarily as I take the SEL information anyway) in my second and third store.) Therefore, when there is a SEL, its information is taken, as we assume that it must be in stock in some other M store somewhere.

I was previously struggling with the Cornetto 5 packs in my regular store and confused about whether the SEL was erroneous as there was (and still is) only 4 pack stock above the SEL in that store. I have never seen any 5 pack Strawberry there and there was no SEL at all about 5 pack in my other stores, only SELs about 4 pack. The 5 pack versions have therefore been randomly appearing and dropping off my list consistent with my previous confusion! There's no SEL even for Chocolate, so I started off with Strawberry only based on the SEL and indicating my complete doubt with it as I thought it meant 4 pack - then a single pack of Chocolate appeared randomly on the shelf for about a week in the store and I had Strawberry and Chocolate on the list, then the pack of Chocolate disappeared and there was no evidence of the product at all the following week and none in any of my other stores, so I assumed it had gone completely OOS and was no longer stocked by M at all and deleted it.

It turns out there should have been Strawberry, Chocolate and more continuously on my list for months! Of course, had this store yesterday been one of my home stores, then that would have been the case throughout (but only with Strawberry and Mint as Chocolate is missing:laugh:) and other items would doubtless then have been missing or going on and off in confusion!:rotfl::rotfl: However, if I had been using this store all along, from it I would have said all these products seem blatant, obvious and continuously there!

You may ask why I am putting all these items back (or, in some cases, for the first time) onto my list that appear not to be in many stores. However: (1) I still don't know that it's not many stores, it could just be the ones I've checked; (2) I have items that have 'always' been on my list, that are in my regular stores, which, it now turns out, are just as seemingly rare from my sample now as a whole. I've had them there as they are in my stores - and sometimes even in two out of three of them. Before, I would have thought there was a two-thirds chance, however now it may be 4 out of 36!:rotfl:

Savvy - that's our store you've just visited - the Cornetto 5 packs are so obvious and we don't know why you had any confusion about them at all!:rotfl::rotfl: (Come, come visit my store!:laugh: And, your store doesn't stock Chocolate!:p ...but neither do any of mine at the moment:o:rotfl::(:rotfl:.)

[The reason I can't know about Chocolate, though I suspect it is somewhere, is because, whilst it's not in this new store or any of my regular ones now, I also haven't seen it in any of the 32 other stores that I've been in once over the last week. But that doesn't mean there's no SEL for it in at least one of the six APG stores or that, if I'd gone to 36 other stores and none of the ones I have, that I would not have a completely different set of items.]

Don't worry - that is one (and more!) more than me!:o:laugh:
Just checking, we now think the DW tabs will work until at least 6 tomorrow morning?

Good afternoon Elite.

Hope everyone is warm, happy and well on this cold day. Hugs to those not so. Sorry to hear about your friend FC. Happy Birthday CJJ.

It was trying to snow here earlier but think it's given up. For now.

Have a good day all.
