I have visited some further Ms, and also read some posts on here now, and I've changed my view about the chances of some items picking up the correct M price. In fact I also see that the Princes Pink Salmon is picking up £1.50 for M:mad::mad:. I'll come back to this later.

The prices, or lack of prices, that I had from SELs, rather than from what I knew or thought to be the case, can only be described as erratic. The SELs in the different stores have given me some completely different information from what I had before. So I have now picked up some further correct and incorrect prices and, if I was the APG:D(:rotfl:), I would now be going even worse on some items:( but comparing against the correct price on others and there would have been a very favourable glitch indeed:D:D.

They were items that I thought stood almost no chance - however I have now seen both at the correct prices in one M. Moreover, the same store has an 'issue' over the Hartley's jellies which ties in with them failing. I think they may have got 5 for £2 on the jellies rather than 4 for £1. So, instead of trying Hartley's jellies and Douwe Egberts coffee, you should have been trying other items that I previously thought had virtually no chance. I think we may have all missed this now as it's the 3x80g Tuna Chunks that were on 2 for £3 mbuy no show. From my previous stores, I had one of them (and only one) at £1.50 incorrect price and didn't find the other at all. However, in this M, each of them has a 50p SEL and is in stock.

I've now seen the comparison where the Princes Pink Salmon has failed:(. Every M I have been into has 40p SEL and stock, so I wrongly thought this stood an excellent chance of working. Fwiw, I have correct prices and stock in most of them on Friday. Moreover, from my stores on that day - all but one of which have 40p SELs and the remaining store is no trace - I would now have thought that this may now work into next week rather than now being 'first and last chance'. I now see that it isn't even first and last chance even now, because they haven't even worked. One of my latest stores earlier appeared to have only two tins left and I imagined that M would be going OOS in almost all 40p SEL stores before Monday. However, from the stores on Friday - different ones - I would imagine that this might work into next week. Except that I come back here and find it isn't working now. Instead, from this, I now think it might work from an OOS store on late Tuesday maybe and Wednesday into probably Thursday of next week.

Very sorry this hasn't worked - price collectors in a store completely at odds with a dozen of mine (I think twice their number:p). I've come back and seen the £1.50 comparison, which I did not expect, and my thought was how could they be getting £1.50? I have seen no Ms with £1.50 - I have seen either 80p (earlier) or constant 40p now. However:

Hi Savvy, sorry for the late reply but I can tell you that Wrexham had sel's for the Princes salmon in the normal canned fish isle this morning. They were £1.75 for the red salmon and £1.50 for the pink. There were 'a few' cans of red that I was happy to relieve them of and of course they scanned at 50p! There were also rather a lot of cans of pink which I left there (at least two full boxes and some loose ones).
I was however passing the Wrexham store again this evening and called in to check for reduced items. The sel's for the salmon had been changed to the yellow reduced to clear ones showing 50p and 40p respectively and there were now only about a dozen cans of pink left. So the sel's had been changed sometime today between 10.00am and 9.00pm.
There are also approx. 20 tins of YOO party hot dogs with a £1.00 sel in the reduced section. Oh and I also found 2 packs of the party football biscuits next to the party rings without a sel, these found there way into my basket:rotfl: hth xx

So, I am now back to thinking that Wrexham is a price collection store. Typical - the only store reported to have had £1.50:mad: and it could be one of theirs:(:p! But, good for you in managing to find the items more because of that - although, to be fair, I have several stores with 40p on the pink salmon and they all have had stock (although in one case they were down to two tins) - the problem is on the red salmon that, in many stores it seems there is now no trace of at all. I reckon they will have £1.75 on the red salmon:( - they are unlikely to find it elsewhere so Wrexham £1.75:(:p and five N/A = £1.75.

I thought that Wrexham wasn't a price collection store after once doing my own check there and not finding the Rajah Bay Leaves anywhere at all - I even had the staff check their system for me and they didn't have the product in Wrexham - the Bay Leaves were comparing on the APG - however the APG may have got them from another store.

So, despite the people who have 50p on the Red Salmon, I think Wrexham may have contributed £1.75 to the APG. They would need one store with 50p and then to take the lowest price they find, and no further stores with £1.75. There's a possibility they could have been in someone's 50p red salmon SEL store - however, you are looking at your own stores - I can tell you I've found many more stores where there is no trace at all (I've gone through 23 in the past week and there is nothing in any of them). So, I reckon, most likely, Wrexham £1.75 and even no trace in all five of their other check stores. Meaning APG £1.75:(. I think that's the most likely now. However, it could be I am wrong and Wrexham isn't a collection store - even though the £1.50 SEL ties in - or they could indeed have got it at 50p from another M (unlikely I think, given how many I see having nothing at all - no product, no SEL - they need a SEL so having stock and no SEL is no good - the very places likely to have stock are the Ms that have no SEL or an incorrect one). And to get 50p they would likely find no stock - which means only a 7 day comparison and then if still no stock (which I think there won't be) it is N/A - even though there is plenty of stock around in M in places with no SEL!

But, did I find the Red Salmon?

It's irrelevant - and seeing as they may have got £1.75 and then may not have it elsewhere:p:( - but despite this can someone still do a test though? - okay, expect £1.58 or thereabouts (with 10% off what is not M's price) but, travelling to an M to find red salmon will probably cost you more than £3.00!

It seems to me there are five options:
Stock and correct SEL.
Stock and incorrect SEL.
No stock and correct SEL.
No stock and incorrect SEL.
No stock and no SEL.

Do you reckon I've managed to find any of the first four options? Previously I had no stock and no SEL in all stores. N/A. No trace. Do you reckon that has changed and, if so, do you think I have found stock? Do you think I have the correct price on the SEL or not? Do you think I've found stock but no SEL and therefore have bought lots of tins for myself but I have an N/A return to report as I couldn't get any price as there was no SEL!

Just a word of warning as M prices update for the apg on Friday afternoon so please be careful alcohol shoppers:o:beer::beer::beer:

No they don't - not normally: I would imagine sometime on Thursday - mid-morning into late afternoon, could be Thursday evening, is when they would normally update. I was suggesting people may shop with a test on Friday evening just to make absolutely sure we are on Wednesday data that is then fixed throughout the weekend. Otherwise, if an earlier test shop is done, it may not provide useful information because the system might have been on Monday and we are straight back into risk territory as it might update. We would therefore not know that we would get the test information.

However, as regards a glitch, it is a completely different situation and people should get in early and not delay - unless they are wishing for new M pricing to be used that's only just gone on offer and want to hope for updated information. You clearly don't know what you are talking about:D:rotfl::A because, on the alcohol, there is/was (as now past 12 so glitch may be over as A prices are probably now full price:() never any issue - the alcoholic drinks are available in many Ms, it seems to me (although, yes, that could be totally wrong and I know nothing at all since numerous stores with 40p pink salmon in them and the APG manages to find one - or more - with £1.50)) - there's no issue about the alcohol, as far as I see it, because it is (it seems) in many Ms with the correct RTC shelf prices and they have not cleared out of them and are in stock.

It's not the same as the items that are now, it seems, becoming to be in fewer Ms than what they were. I can see that some recent RTC items are now probably in half the number of stores than they were before and therefore, I think, becoming more risky (although I know nothing) because it seems to me that it will be less likely that the APG would pick a store that has them in. However, it may pick such a rare store and rare Ms do exist. Other RTCs, such as the £1.38 Glades and the Baylis & Harding gift set, now seem to be in so few Ms that it seems unlikely indeed the APG would be in such a store and others, which are not RTC as far as I know (I've never seen any RTC label for them so I don't know:rotfl:), such as the Cornetto 5 pack cones and the large Schwartz Grill Mates at £1 are also, it seems, in so few stores (unless it is that I have happened to visit all the stores that don't have them) that they seem highly unlikely too - yet one of the 5 pack cones stores might be a price collection store.

It had the cones and also the Baylis & Harding set at - what I believe to be - incorrect SEL price of £2 (indeed, that store was one of the few places to have a proper SEL) - and the APG did pick up £2 when I tested it. It was the only M I have seen that had both any of the cones and the gift set. All the other stores in which I was seeing the gift set - about half of the stores I visited - had £1 for the set (and none of them had the cones). The APG found the rare store with a £2 SEL:(. So, it could pick up these 'rare' (or seemingly rare) items. Then again, there is probably some store somewhere that had an unchanged SEL for the gift set and, like many of the others (or many it seems to me) had none of the cones. This is however now a few months ago and the gift set seems to be somewhat rarer now. I doubt it will be in a price collection store now - although, again, they could just happen to pick that one - and indeed it could be one that never had the set before, so could now work against £1 and not be N/A at all. The Dettol Anti-Bacterial Laundry Cleanser Powder (495g) may now, it seems, be in only one of the 84 stores that I have visited. I have now lost it completely for several months, but I did come across a store a while ago that had a lot of stock so I imagine it might still be there. However, it now seems that this product has gone completely from a.com so I am deleting it anyway and moving it to 'buy in M' (assuming someone can buy it there). Pretty expensive at £2:eek::rotfl:.

The JF Luxurious Volume Blow Out Spray now seems to have largely cleared from M. However, it is still available somewhere in M. I think the number of stores that will have that now is so few that the APG will most likely now not pick it up. Meanwhile, the JF Sea Spray and the JF Beach Blonde Detangling Conditioner have only just gone onto RTCs - I went to a "small number" of Ms on Friday - just an afternoon/early evening not a full day;) - and I didn't find them(:eek:) in my first few stores - you were left with one final chance for me to find them, in my final store of the day. And, did I find them? Yes, I did! Both there - in this store the only one where I have not seen them marked with their RTC. They have the correct prices on each and just on the shelves. Maybe they will stay in that store for a bit longer than the others that have them.

It was only a small number on Friday. It's about average for what I am seeing - these seem to be in around half the stores I go to. I think they stand a very good chance of working (of course now extremely speculative when I thought the Pink Salmon had an excellent chance but, nonetheless, I do think it likely that 6 stores (as I think to be the number used by the APG) is very likely to turn them up in at least one. I have not seen any incorrect prices on them yet - I hope there are not any such Ms. However, I would not in these cases buy them to compare from £6.99/£5.99 due to the very large amount to lose if they did not pick a store that stocks them. It's unlikely they will choose six and happen to pick six that all don't have. Each selection of six I have has had them in about three. That is at the moment - they may clear. I do think they will work - I wouldn't buy them due to the large difference - however, if there was a glitch on them potentially available, then I would think one person ought to test them (I do too many tests:rotfl::o, so that's why I am not saying it should be me).

Indeed, on this store today, there is a chance that TBG could glitch (though it won't be as good as a non-show mbuy: merely a price match that should not happen to M's RTC price for someone who doesn't have them in their local M) as neither of the items showed any RTC label so that TBG price collectors, if they used this store and did not have them in another of their three stores, would be unlikely it seems to me to know that it was RTC but would just pick up the price on the SEL. TBG should not compare against RTCs. However, if they are not marked in any M that TBG uses, I do not see how they could know to exclude it. However, it is most unlikely (a one in less than 500 chance) that TBG would use this store. They may have it in one or two at most I would think and probably likely to have RTC in their stores. However, if they used this store that doesn't have the RTC label, then maybe we would wish that their other M that has it does go completely OOS and with no trace, so that only the store with the price and no RTC showing would then be picked up! I would have it as a 50:50 chance of them not having the products at all on TBG though. If you went to all of my first three Ms on Friday, none of them had it, so if TBG used this selection of stores - it won't but - it is certainly possible to pick three Ms and have these products in none of them. But, from six, I think there is a very good chance. I've had them in more than one each time I've used six before.

The chance that TBG will use this store without the RTC and thus compare (finding the products in no other) is much less than 1 in 500. So it won't compare! I don't think:rotfl:. It's always possible - I thought the Pink Salmon would highly likely get 40p - or at least 80p - and it did not. They picked probably one of the few Ms that had something much higher:(. No wonder A put their price up as they think M is £1.50! I don't know whether they did it for that reason or not. Clearly the data they have about their competitor is wrong. They collect information about their competitors (all stores do) to help set their own prices, and I suspect the APG data also does feed into their pricing team that does that, but when they have inaccurate information on which to base their decisions...

But, anyway, I think it is a likely unlikely chance indeed that TBG would pick the store I was in where the more recent JFs show just their price and do not have RTC on the shelf. And then have it in none of their other two (although that may happen). However, there may be another M that also has the products and no RTC label - or only an RTC label on one but not the other and then TBG could be in that store and not have them elsewhere and could compare in error on both of them if there is no RTC at all or on the one that doesn't show the RTC where the other one does. However, I think the chance is very small. I do not think they will, but there is that small chance - it's a chance so small though that, really, they aren't going to.

If I'd seen that Wrexham was showing £1.50 (for the Pink Salmon) I would have downgraded my "excellent":( chance significantly. Sorry folks - I had 40p from six different stores and now 40p from 9 different ones and nothing contradictory anywhere. They pick the one that has the £1.50:mad:.:(:(

I think this means that they don't have any store showing any price lower than £1.50 or they have more stores showing £1.50 than showing a specific lower price (such as 40p). They could well have checked relatively early on Wednesday and still got some that hadn't marked down - thus got two 80ps and one 40p but three £1.50s:(. They could have two 40ps, one N/A (doesn't have stock and has no SEL, so completely no evidence of having the product or maybe has stock but no SEL so no price can be collected from that store) and three £1.50s.

I think it is such an unlikely thing to have £1.50. However, they have got it. Unlikely things happen.

However, thanks for telling me that Wrexham now has the lower SEL. This might mean that it may sell OOS over the weekend, but hopefully leave the SEL up on the Monday - the now correct one - or else may still have some stock (please don't buy any Pink Salmon from Wrexham until Tuesday - we want stock to be there for the SEL to be kept up for the APG people to take - please hide some stock if necessary (several tins) and then bring it all out last thing on Sunday and put into the right place:rotfl:) - hopefully Wrexham will still have some stock on Monday ensuring the SEL is kept up (what chances of it remaining in stock over the weekend though?:() - if it goes OOS then it risks the SEL being removed leaving no evidence of the product and they then may get no price from anywhere else as all OOS and SELs gone there too. However, hopefully even if the APG collectors find no stock, the SEL is still there on Monday and, as they have been in stock in the last 7 days, this will then pick up 40p. It might do so since Wrexham have been so tardy in changing the SEL to the correct price. However, the weekend shoppers in M are a worry on this one.

SEL is right in Wrexham - I hope they are OOS and the SEL still there on Monday and then that the APG might pick up 40p from about Tuesday until Thursday next week. So this could mean it now has a better chance of working at that time next week. Wrexham being late may help in that sense - and there are a few of my stores on Friday with still significant stock that if they were collection stores might increase the chance of remaining at 40p SEL next Monday but I doubt they will be in those stores. There are a few Ms around though with some stock - just hope it survives the weekend and that the SELs stay up (even if showing OOS). However, it could just go N/A in all their stores.

So, I've seen the £1.50 - but I have revised my hopes for next week - I felt it likely 40p SELs in M would have vanished by next week, as would all the stock, leaving no trace of the product - or so few Ms with a 40p SEL left as to be unlikely to be found as a price collection place - however I now think it stands a better chance of it getting 40p on Monday's data (wait for that to update first) though I wouldn't say it was anywhere near an excellent chance at all. It's got a chance of lasting at 40p in M longer than I thought (whether in or out of stock, just the SELs) and I would have hoped it to be a chance of lasting on the APG (into midweek next week) however far from it "lasting" it hasn't even started (or started yet, if it ever does) possibly due to Wrexham. But Wrexham could be a help now on collection Monday for us (plus a few other Ms that are not as OOS as I first thought, though whether that will last the weekend...?).

Now, in addition to the failure of the Pink Salmon, to which I returned here earlier to see, there will be lots of for me that I was already going to tell you about. Namely the three items that I deleted from my list months ago wrongly:rotfl:. Including the one that came in, went (I thought M still had it somewhere;)), came in, went (I thought they would still have it), came in - these are all different stores btw, moving around (not literally - it's just when products are in a store or not) - in, went (they'll still have it), then went and, finally, after weeks of wondering could they really still have it now and not seeing it for ages, trying to maintain the belief that M would still have it but finding it absolutely nowhere, eventually, of course totally wrongly:rotfl:, I deleted it!:eek::eek::rotfl:

I should never, ever delete anything now. Probably the only items that I delete and they always turn up again. All will be revealed later! I was even "I doubt M has this", then after a further few weeks of no trace anywhere "I really doubt this now", then "I don't think that M has this - they might but it is now so long..." and then, eventually, it's so so long, and it's been on RTC and cleared out and come back elsewhere and cleared out - and surely, it must be cleared by now, I thought, and three separate times around - and the final one it's now even more weeks since I last saw it - it wasn't as long between the periods of presence before - but just so long absence lately, after so long, that eventually I deleted it. And M still has it!

And I deleted another item too - a Christmas item that was one of the ones I thought would be least likely still to be had now. And of course that very item is still available in M somewhere yesterday as I've now been to the store where it is! I was trying to remove some Christmas items as so long not seen and I wanted to declutter the list a bit so it didn't consist of so many items that virtually no-one has anymore. I suspect any item I've left on the list has actually gone from M entirely - although it would be impossible ever to know that it had and impossible for anyone to provide evidence to show it had been completely sold from every M as they would have to visit all 500+ stores, and even then cannot be sure it had not returned to one or some of them at some time when they did not visit.

And also further egg on my face and - as I mentioned some range of items that I now think are still in some M after one of them turned up at my local store the other day. I mentioned a number of items I thought were available. Except I forgot about one. And - that very one, it's turned up! The very item I was not thinking about - and, it's still in M! I think it highly unlikely indeed to be in a store of the price collectors. It was in a few of my stores and then vanished months ago, within a few weeks of arriving. I have seen it nowhere else since. Until yesterday:rotfl: - months and months later, in one M. This is now one M out of 84 that I have it in - unless it's turned up since in other ones I've visited before but not been back to. However, in the (as always) unlikely event that this is a price collection store, I think they would have it continuously! For me, from my other Ms previously, I had price on SEL in one where it lasted for about two weeks and then the product but with no SEL for a further two weeks in M - around this time - just one M, with a product but no SEL, I couldn't imagine it comparing. However, clearly it's been in this other M for five months continuously since:rotfl:. And there is significant stock and it has long BB dates - so I think I must now put it onto the list and keep it there until at least summer next year!:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

I think it is most unlikely to compare. However, I've only visited 84 stores and not the other 420 in which it might be:rotfl:. It does seem to be in few Ms from my sample though - in fact, just one. But, if you are in that store, it is regularly available to you. It seems to be perhaps as unlikely to compare as a price collector being in a store in which Princes Pink Salmon (213g) has £1.50 incorrect SEL. However, that last unlikely event sadly happened.

Possible Muller yoghurt and rice glitch!

(Hopefully it doesn't update early morning)

Offer looks to be ending on this group
http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/865730_1594797.html
Should still pay the 8 for £4 instore, but the apg will show full price.

One example.


1X180G

Muller Rice Original(2)
68p

10 for £3 in T. After apg should cost £1.26 for 10:)

The best return would be buying an assortment of 40, (if you can eat that many) after apg the cost would be £3.60, 9p a yoghurt/rice.

M. have a 8 for £2 offer on the corners, but this hasn't always been picked up in the past.:( If it does, then after apg the cost would be 36p for 8:D

Apologies if I have got any sums wrong, but I am suffering from lack of sleep!:)

Hi Savvy, sorry for the late reply but I can tell you that Wrexham had sel's for the Princes salmon in the normal canned fish isle this morning. They were £1.75 for the red salmon and £1.50 for the pink. There were 'a few' cans of red that I was happy to relieve them of and of course they scanned at 50p! There were also rather a lot of cans of pink which I left there (at least two full boxes and some loose ones).
I was however passing the Wrexham store again this evening and called in to check for reduced items. The sel's for the salmon had been changed to the yellow reduced to clear ones showing 50p and 40p respectively and there were now only about a dozen cans of pink left. So the sel's had been changed sometime today between 10.00am and 9.00pm.
There are also approx. 20 tins of YOO party hot dogs with a £1.00 sel in the reduced section. Oh and I also found 2 packs of the party football biscuits next to the party rings without a sel, these found there way into my basket:rotfl: hth xx

:eek::eek:They will not last a day of the weekend. So, I think Wrexham will remove the SELs before Monday, leaving no trace of the product at all and then we'll need another store at 40p to pick anything up from. Which seems unlikely as they will be likely to go - unless one of the APG's other £1.50 stores:( (if they had another that outweighed a correct price:mad:) changes its SEL so late and leaves it there for the collectors to see on Monday.

Can you go back and hide the Pink Salmon and bring it all out again on Sunday a minute before closing? However, I'm not sure if an attempt to mess with it like that wouldn't backfire. It could mean they wrongly remove the SEL, thinking they have no product left, and then we have no price for it at all on Monday. Might not get any SEL elsewhere then. So N/A (worse than even comparing to £1.50).

Party Hot Dogs - might pick up £1:(. Which is a completely contrary result to my own now - I have found a 25p SEL. Yes, this late:rotfl:. I suggested the random results I got (of course I know most of the real prices - there are a small number I haven't found any stock of anywhere and have had no SELs at all so I can't check their real price but I've surmised it or people have posted on here it is) - if I went purely by the SELs, my results would not be the same as the APG. They get a different set of random results - seems like they have everything I have correctly at wrong prices and everything that my SELs give me incorrect prices on maybe they have picked up the actual M price (probably from a store without stock but not yet for more than 7 days).

I think me and the APG are largely in agreement - on most 'normal' prices there isn't any problem (except of course the carrots that for some probably technical failure they don't pick up) and mbuys aren't showing in some stores so may not get picked up if APG happens to visit a set of those stores. These RTC items though are producing erratic results - for reasons I think of them having such good M prices that any store that shows it quickly goes OOS and then removes the SEL leaving that store no trace of the product, whilst the Ms that have stock are the ones with useless (for price collectors:(, helpful for us if we want to buy as they're the only stores in which we can find stock:D) no SELs at all or high priced incorrect SEL - such as Pink Salmon on the APG or the one of the 3x80g tuna was for me (of course I did have it at 50p as I knew the real price, but SELs are taken as £1.50). Most unlikely that they would be in the store which had the £1.50 that I saw for that - bet they probably had a store with full 50ps now so that this would have glitched perfectly yesterday but we have all gone and missed it:(:(. I did say ignore my own results! I think someone ought to have tested it - I would think more likely they'd have N/A than my £1.50 rare store but possible they could have 50p on both.

Without my "£1.50" store I would never have guessed the price on the 3x80g tunas - I would have assumed it was £1 as that was the real price the week before. I'd have thought all but the Princes Pink Salmon had stayed the same - having no SELs for anything elsewhere except that. You will be pleased to know I have now picked a 50p store on both versions of the 3x80g tuna (in fact, all three, one that A doesn't stock) so that I am now correct on those:D - perfectly irrelevant of course.

One example.


1X180G

Muller Rice Original(2)
68p

10 for £3 in T. After apg should cost £1.26 for 10:)

The best return would be buying an assortment of 40, (if you can eat that many) after apg the cost would be £3.60, 9p a yoghurt/rice.

M. have a 8 for £2 offer on the corners, but this hasn't always been picked up in the past. If it does, then after apg the cost would be 36p for 8:D

Apologies if I have got any sums wrong, but I am suffering from lack of sleep!:)

Do you know that for a fact? Have you seen it on a comp.? I think it was 10 for £2 or 10 for £3 that has never been picked up. We don't know about 8 for...
M's are all showing it (for me at any rate) - I think M may have put the mbuy price up today as now showing that on parts of msm but that is irrelevant as the data is stuck on Wednesday - however I don't know whether an 8 for... offer would be picked up. 75% of me thinks they won't go to the trouble of scanning each one eight times - too much work for them:(. I think someone should do one test for us all - buying 10 of which all within T's mbuy of which 8 are all Corners within M's. I know T comp. is worse price - and I know buying ten makes M worse than T. Buying 8 would be better - but we don't know that that works. We need a test, that uses 10 against T so that all isn't lost, in the event of a probably likely failure against M, so that this then tells everyone else which way to go for the rest of the day:). Don't forget M's offer is Corners only. So buy eight Corners all in M's offer and all in T's 10 for £3 plus two further Mullers that are in T's offer (for the initial test).

If M works within that, although the initial test won't be as good because, in total, it will make M worse and T comp will 'win' (at a much higher price per Muller than M's), then it will be excellent for everyone on the 8 Muller Corners bought on that shop. However, if M comp fails - showing that the test was indeed right to target T on the ones bought, unfortunately it won't necessarily tell us that M would have failed. It's possible that 8 Corners all the same would have worked against M but that one or more Corners from within a mix and match has failed to be put within the same offer on the system for M. The more different ones bought the greater the chance of failure but I think this is what the test should do. Because if you buy all eight the same, you then need fillers - of course you could have picked one that didn't have the mbuy on the system and another one did - buying a single version that doesn't have mbuy on the system and same mbuy as the rest causes all of them to fail. Are there 10 different Corners that can be bought (all in T's offer) and then see if any 8 from the 10 work?:think: It does seem chance to me on this one - but we need a test shop and that's why we need one.

Shall we have a rota where we all takes turns and each take a potential 'hit' on an M test?:rotfl: (I don't mean we should all take turns doing tests one after another all day on the Mullers - I mean on different subsequent glitches on different items on future days involving dodgy M comps.)

Yes I have, thank you for that. I've just freed some space up now.:)

I'm almost ready to go:eek:. I'll be back later and you can see how my erratic results (on the RTC Hot Dogs, Princes and 10p biscuits etc. items) have changed - am I now right on everything do you think?

I have further correct and incorrect SEL information to reveal later.

Have I found the Red Salmon at 50p yet? Did I find stock? Did I find stock but no SEL so :(I couldn't take a price? I suspect the APG has £1.75:(. I was even worse with N/A - am I still that or did my further stores have any SEL for me at all?

I can tell you I have picked up the Mackerel Fillets with Spicy Tomato Sauce now:D. I have a SEL - there's no stock; however I would compare because I haven't been OOS for more than 7 days. So, if it were my result that counted (it doesn't of course), would you buy this version of Princes Mackerel now?
