    M triggers the voucher again (38p:() and... I can't believe how much I am losing:mad::mad:!

    Plums are 72p in M, but they have £1 - noted that the issue I raised about them has come true:(. This could be Monday's data (we don't know); however since I had that issue from Wednesday I think it's even less likely to correct. Cucumber is 41p in M and... if you're going to compare the pears against their £1.14 price, then you should compare the Kids Crunchy Apples too:mad::mad: - should compare against 2x £1.00 price in M even though some packs marked 2 for £1.50. M's apples this week are believed even to include the same type of apple as A's - and the weight difference on the pears packs is no more or less different than that on the apples between A and M!

    Iceberg Lettuce really 50p in M - so, be thankful for that, but M really ought to be cheaper than what it is! And Carrots fail to compare - have slipped back to 60p but would not lose that much.

    But 800g Coco Pops are £3.81 in M, so maybe the voucher is about right after all:rotfl::( but - what a mess - how many different missed items?!? (You can argue over whether the apples are "missed" or not.)

    Just hopeless on so many bog standard, non-obscure items - regularly bought things like carrots, iceberg lettuce, cucumber and Coco Pops!

    I don't know whether the peaches really are £1.17 but there are some peaches punnets in M at 77p. A's appear to be 5 pack but M "minimum 4" (and therefore probably 5) but they probably pick up a larger pack size at M:mad:.

    14 items (9 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Plums (400G) £0.79 £1.00
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection 10 Bananas (10PK) £1.50 N/A
    1x ASDA Cheese & Tomato Twinpack Pizza (716G) £2.20 N/A
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Cucumber (EACH) £0.42 £0.48
    1x Fanta Fruit Twist (2LT) £1.00 £1.00
    1x ASDA Chosen by Kids Pears (550G) £1.00 £1.14
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Iceberg Lettuce (EACH) £0.44 N/A
    1x Fanta Orange (2LT) £1.00 £1.00
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Punnet of Peaches (EACH) £0.85 £1.17
    2x ASDA Chosen by Kids Cute and Juicy Apples (MW550G) £2.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Carrots (1KG) £0.45 N/A
    1x Kellogg's Coco Pops Family Pack (800G) £3.00 N/A
    1x Colman's Classic Mint Sauce (250ML) £1.45 £1.38
    6x ASDA Smartprice Low Fat Natural Yogurt (500G) £2.70 £2.70
    1x ASDA British Whole Milk (4PT) £0.95 £1.00
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Red Seedless Grapes (500G) £1.50 N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only) £10.16 £10.87
    cheaper +£0.71

    Quite a few Ms are showing £1 SEL (where they have one) on the plums, and the punnets themselves are marked £1, even though, on Wednesday, the real price was 72p.

    The price collectors, although there is that issue in M for them which isn't their fault, do seem quite hopeless on fresh fruit and veg. in particular - probably now engaging the same agency that T used that was allegedly notorious for missing fresh fruit and veg. items (this was part of M's concern when it was deciding whether to take T's old price promise scheme to the Advertising Standards Authority). Of course, the last I knew loose ginger was missing for M on the APG and the loose single garlic has been missing for possibly a year.

    So, eight different items about which I raise an issue on the comp.! Half the different items there:(.

    I am indeed, albeit from a Sheffield hotel room. How's you? :)
    Fine, thanks for asking:j
    Mmm, Sheffield*, why, how and (if you dare:D) where?

    *birthplace of Cabaret Voltaire, Human League (of course!), Pulp. etc etc ... hopefully you have spent time in the Winter Gardens, and do try and make time to visit the Graves Gallery to see 'A Corner of the Artist's Room in Paris', by Gwen John... tiny but exquisite - possibly my all-time favourite painting

    I don't think it looks odd at all. the lid of the cooker will be up alot of the time, so you won't notice.x

    I'm hoping it may work out ok with nothing there, time will tell. By the time I make a mess of the kitchen no one will notice. ;)

    Your cooker lid would probably not have gone up gone up if you had the granite behind.

    Interesting post about Morries online shopping here

    It seems that if you are unable to checkout at a promo price/glitch price due to stock shortages you can save it to your basket and they honour the price when it comes back in stock
