Thanks Nerfy, just checked it out. £5 off giftcave on my phone at the moment.

Did you click on the 4pk rewards bit? I've got several options on mine, one of which is a free 4pk

Hi

Don't post that often, but would like to give something back.

I managed to get 3 cups, 5 saucers and 6 plates if I remember correctly. They are currently sitting in the boot of my car. Can I have an address to send them to please?

Thanks

Hello, I'm back, so prepare for incessant posts about M again:rotfl:. I'm sorry - even so, there is a lot to get through.

I believe that they didn't even have the correct prices of the Cucumbers showing at Wrexham yesterday. (The normal two.) The price on the Portion Cucumbers said/says 21p - I believe they are now 23p which they went up to a few weeks ago (and I have 23p in two of my other three Ms). If they use Wrexham and have two other stores showing 21p, then I think they will compare to 21p; however I think it's most likely they will have what I think is the correct price of 23p elsewhere. They did compare to a cheaper price than I had on one collection data several months ago - I think that was just a blip, their stores hadn't changed their SELs. I don't think it's likely to happen again (or may do occasionally). Meanwhile I didn't find even any price on the shelves for the Whole Cucumber but I did get one elsewhere.

I've got it into my head - or back into my head - that Wrexham is one of the collection stores because it has been mentioned in A's press advertising. They were advertising, a year or two ago (or maybe even three:eek:), some of their products and gave higher Morrisons prices in the advertisement - the footnote said that the M prices had been checked in [and then gave the names of a number of stores] on a mentioned date, which was a Wednesday. Prices are collected for the APG on Mondays and Wednesdays and I believe A's information, for its advert, about M prices came from the data collected on its behalf in M - I can't imagine they would do a separate collection of information, in different Ms from the APG, when they already have that information thanks to the price collections carried out for the APG.

I did a price check in M in Wrexham one time in one August. That may have been several weeks after the price collectors had checked Wrexham and could then have moved on to elsewhere. The fresh plums, which I had a constant M price for, by checking my own Ms for quite some time, were always N/A on the APG. I arrived at Wrexham and found that they had a completely different type of plums and didn't have any of the ones that I had in my Ms at all. I think there may also have been an issue on the fresh veg. around that time, under which they weren't picking up mix and match mbuy for M - I don't know if we had seen a failed comp. - in fact I have a vague recollection that I may have done a shop myself and got a 'full price M' situation:(. I found that the location of the fresh veg. and presentation of the offer at Wrexham did not, for me, make clear the range of products that were in the offer. I think it appeared that all of them were in the offer on their own and it wasn't clear that they was a mix and match on, involving all the items. That was clear from my stores obviously, as I had it on. Though I think even I may have had to use msm to get details of items that were also additionally in the offer.

I thought it was not Wrexham however, after searching everywhere (and even getting the staff to check their system, as well as searching in the back of the store) for the Rajah Bay Leaves that were comparing on the APG; however they may have got that from another store (and they checked more stores than me). I only checked Wrexham that day and didn't have the Bay Leaves from and of my two, sometimes three, other stores. You'll be pleased to know they have been stocked for some time now in one of my stores so I can now keep track of them! (As long as they don't suddenly disappear from there:rotfl:.)

I only mention Wrexham because it is the one of the mentioned stores (from the press advert) that I can get to more easily. There is something about that store that makes me think it is a collection store. I don't know what it is there is just... something. However I do take a quick glance around the store to see if there are any people that might look like they are collecting prices and I haven't seen any (despite obviously being there on one of the same days as the APG price collections) - but I suspect it is highly unlikely that I would happen to be there when they are and they may be even more well hidden.

The Savers Chicken Roll (which was absent in other stores for me the earlier time years ago) wasn't very well in Wrexham either - it had OOS label that may have been there for some time and therefore not be picked up - however the SP version did continue to compare on the APG (again it may have been got from one or more of five (or more or less?) different stores). I don't think I even went completely no trace on Chicken Roll it was just a little bit dodgy for a short period. The SP Yogurts dropped off the system after I had a period of out of stock in several stores (which I suspect were different to theirs) and I haven't seen them ever come back on the APG. They seem sometimes to lose the odd thing and then they never come back - even though they have now returned to my Ms for some time. Actually I can't now recall if there are any in Wrexham (I think I may have taken them away given their 'never' now comparing) - can someone tell me if Wrexham has 4 pack Savers Yogurts (the ones at 33p)? TIA.

Remember the Ricotta Cheese that failed on the APG (returned N/A) recently? I couldn't find that at all in Wrexham yesterday; it should be around in other stores (indeed it is in several of my local Ms and I think nearly all the other ones - but not in Wrexham - and it's possible that it happens not to be in any of their six chosen stores - this item may come and go out of stores and just not be there at all in some for some time). However, I think it's possible that the Ricotta Cheese may have been N/A (I don't know whether it still is) because the A one isn't called "Italian Ricotta" whereas Morrisons' is. So, they might not have the products as comparable - nonetheless they did, at least at one point, compare - I believe in error - the American Rockin' Chilli Mac Cheese to M's Italian Macaroni Cheese. Perhaps they sometimes just pick things up if the product is similar. One of the jarred beetroots was a potential grey area item for me, because they are called Pickled Beetroot in M, so the description was not precisely the same, nonetheless on balance I concluded it probably would compare and added it to my list without remarking on any potential problem for it - and I see it has worked. But is A's Beetroot "Pickled" I wondered, and concluded that, although it was not expressly stated, it most certainly was and it was a comparable item.

I also linked the Milk Chocolate Butter Biscuits up to M's Milk Chocolate Continentals which are now gone to 50p (with cheaper whoopsies doubtless available in M) but they didn't compare from me, from somewhat higher price when they were more expensive than that in M:(. I reckon I was being a bit too clever for them on that (although not at all clever in the end as they didn't compare:rotfl::() but that was me picking up what I think is a clearly comparable product but they have missed it.

I don't think it stands any real chance at all of picking up M's 50p price, not just because they probably have never had that in the system before but also I've now only found M's product (after it went as low as 50p and hasn't - as far as I am aware - gone down any further unlike the Dark Continentals - I haven't been able to find Milk Chocolate Continentals again since) - because I have found it in only one store during checking in about forty and found it there without a SEL. It had a reduced sticker, with a price on it, but I could not take that price since it was store-specific. It's a good job on some of them as the store-specific prices are higher than 10p on some of the 10p items:rotfl:. I think make sure you scan the original BC and not the reduced sticker. I can tell you what the price was on the Milk Chocolate Continentals whose original BC still scanned at 50p - it was 35p. But, under APG rules, we can't get that price. A does not have any Dark Chocolate Butter Biscuits so there is no chance of anything there comparing to 10p anyway. Even if there were, it would be rare to hit a store that has a Dark Chocolate Continentals 10p SEL - I've only seen one, that alerted me to the item being 10p in the first place - and never come across it again. Needless to say that store had no stock at all on the shelf. I do not have any trace at all of Dark Continentals in my latest six stores - or in my six on the occasion before that, or the set of six before that, and had them at incorrect 50p SEL just before then (and then only in a single store). You can buy Dark Continentals at 10p in M btw:rotfl:. They will be in someone's very rare store.

More from Wrexham (they aren't there either) soon no doubt - I think I'm onto some failed Salsa Dip next:rotfl:.
