Yes the laila broken basmati rice does compare avm. Sorry forgot to mention this. Do these comparisons avm vary from area to area? Dont know where the collections are done in the country, are they all over?

:jIs this the current one?

As far as I know, the comparisons are the same as the data from their Ms is collected and brought together into a final M price (depending on what is most common price showing in their stores), except that Scotland has specific data on alcohol products as mbuys aren't allowed in Scotland (don't know whether the whole dataset for Scotland is different or whether the presumed 6 stores nationwide includes 3 for Scotland - therefore leaving England and Wales with just 3 stores for their data, I would have thought it was 6 though, maybe including the Scottish ones, but 3 for alcohol products. I'm probably wrong).

Yes I would think they'd use different regions. My suspicion is Wrexham, one store in North West England and one in the Home Counties and three in Scotland - though I'm sure that's wrong - I would have thought England would have more than that and one in S Wales maybe. So, in other words, I don't know:rotfl:.

The WUL is A's Ultimate WUL 500ml - only seems to be the original version - the citrus flavour is 78p.
Yes, it was the WUL that caused me to go out to A - and I found a SEL but no stock. They checked at the back but, as expected, no luck:(. So I managed some 20p Fabric Conditioner instead.

I've no idea what the softener is - however I've seen A's all in one 30 dishwasher tablets at £1.33 - the original version again, the citrus apparently is £4 (I didn't check that at the till, unlike the Citrus WUL). There's also various own label liquids and some eco. products - Biotex at 86p(?) and Green Force(?) dishwasher tabs at £1 (actually cheaper per tablet to the own label version at £1.33 but it is 5 in 1 not all in one). Also some Duck product (rim or tablet things, not liquids) at 68p(?).

Thats what i meant by softner, sorry:o
Thanks for your info

Also Wood Silk Non-Silicone Polish (you can see I was looking for "Silicone" on msm) I can confirm I've seen at £1.18 in M - it should be T £1.50 vs M £1.18, but again price not anywhere near good for me!

Yes indeed, Wood Silk Polish 250ml - how could I have even considered T vs M at £1.18:eek:?!

I'm sorry - I didn't see from msm:o:o that it's 38p RTC in A! Obviously no go on TBG (vs A) as not only is it reduced, it's not on a.com and therefore won't be picked up (hence why msm doesn't have it).

"---" for A should now alert us to check in A just in case (to see that it's not really gone to RTC).

Didn't find any wombles at Farmfoods, but did have to rearrange the freezer when I got back, took so long to sort it it is still complaining nearly 3 hours later :eek:

Managed to spend over £50, I never spend that much, but at least I had the vouchers.

I have Sunshine Mango in my A, 21 wash 567ml.

It's actually "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon" hence why I was confused when I first saw it and not 100% sure that it was 20p until I checked it at the till:rotfl:.

SEL says "Sunshine Mango" but product is "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon" - does that mean there is both a plain "Sunshine Mango" somewhere and the "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon"?:huh:

It turns out one and the same and, as usual, a complete and full description hasn't been given on the SELs in my A!:p Thus causing me initially, the pedant who ensures that products are exactly the same, to think they might be different. Judging by the fact the Sunshine Mango & Watermelon went through at the 20p price stated on the SEL, I'd say it was the same thing - although I can't absolutely rule out that a "Sunshine Mango" at 20p doesn't also exist (although my better view is that I think it most likely doesn't).:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: No "normal" person would have issues between Sunshine Mango vs Sunshine Mango & Watermelon like [Strike]I do[/Strike] have created for myself:rotfl:. For me, though, say one thing and it's a completely different product!

If there are any, none of them are in my store now (the only day I've visited) and they don't have any SELs there for them. So, the answer is "I don't know":rotfl:.

I don't think there is a "Sunshine Mango". I think it's "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon" (as one product containing both those things in it).

I would if it wasn't a 40 mile round trip. Wish they would open up nearer, even home bargains and B&M are a 30 mile round trip, but at least we have Aldi and Lidl on the doorstep.

You see all the confusion - I wasn't doing a price collection in A but, had this been M, had there been a SEL that said "Sunshine Mango" with the price but it was completely OOS in my store, I would have had it as "Sunshine Mango" when, in fact, only because of the stock, I can tell it's "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon". Had there been - and I still don't know that this is not the case (even though I think it's highly unlikely) - a plain "Sunshine Mango", maybe at full price, somewhere else, then I would have had the wrong product - I'd have put "Sunshine Mango" down onto my list, not knowing it was only available elsewhere and at full price, and not put the correct "Sunshine Mango & Watermelon" that is at 20p. So, I'd have a full price product on my list showing incorrect 20p for it and not have the product that is 20p at all.

(Indeed, this does sometimes happen on the M list, although not usually in this fashion: it's usually simply an incomplete name but I have the correct price (or what I still believe to be anyway). This is where I have, at some time, an incomplete product name that I later discover, from checking elsewhere or maybe in the same store but stock has come back in, is actually called something more complete and then I'm able to alter it to what it should be. This time I actually have two different M Bamboo Skewers (100) products:rotfl: (I've had just one entry for several months, when there are actually two different ones:rotfl::rotfl:*). I think they both do the same thing - same number and same price but different packaging for each - and different BCs thus making them technically two different products.)

As it is, I have the A Fabric Conditioner correctly as Sunshine Mango & Watermelon - although obviously not on the M list as this is A and not M - and I'm left thinking there isn't really a plain "Sunshine Mango" in existence. However, I can't rule out completely that such a product could not be available in another store and don't know if there are any other flavours in other stores available on RTC. I think best just to go to the store(s) that is/are available to you and find whatever flavour(s), if any, you have.

*It seems likely that there are two different ones anyway. I can't rule out that there's not more:rotfl:.
