    Soooo annoying that they didn't compare - I know its a risk we take, but doesn't ease the pain (I am laughing as I type) but I know we all get the failed glitch feeling when it happens to us :rotfl:

    Does anyone know why the fruit flakes didn't compare like thought? Just so I know what to check next time please :)

    I think I've already happened to answer it in my last post.

    I don't think it's necessarily the price collectors to blame. I think it's Ms not displaying the mbuy on their shelving. Including Wrexham last time - they did not have the mbuy on the shelf on Monday last week or on Monday this week although I don't know whether or not they had it showing before when it worked several weeks ago. I wasn't even looking at those products when they glitched a few weeks ago but, looking at them since, I have seen a number of Ms missing the mbuy on their shelf - although others did have it (and quite a few more had it than did not). So it was a possibility the APG might get straight full price:(, and it now seems it has. These mbuy labels can disappear from the shelves of stores even where they have been showing before. I have seen the mbuy being displayed in enough stores, beyond Wrexham, though to have given me not yet quite concern on these items - but, clearly, they probably now don't have it showing in four stores for them. It's obviously tipped the wrong way - I was going towards losing the mbuy but hadn't quite yet had enough Ms that weren't showing it in order to give me concern: but obviously it seems the APG has found enough stores missing it for the straight price to be their majority price. Unfortunately, the real price is £2 and any 2 for £2.

    So, I think what you need to check next time is the shelving in Morrisons instore and, specifically, the shelving in M in the price collection stores. Sometimes the positioning of the mbuy offer labels also can be not quite totally clear - so it depends on the exact way in which the shelving looks, including the location of the mbuy labels and what they seem to cover (for example, an mbuy label only on the bottom shelf, mbuy might be on products on higher levels in the shelving but it isn't displayed there so the price collectors take full price from that M on those items. They may have five other chances (from other Ms) - but, if too many are not showing mbuy and are just showing straight full price, then that's what the APG gets).

    The 4 pack own brand frozen pies - that I keep mentioning - seem to have slightly more mbuys missing from shelves than the Fruit Bowls, and as a result I don't think the frozen pies will work. I'll be surprised if the frozen pies pick up an M mbuy now in this situation.
