    There may be a glitch (or alternatively it's just the way the system works) on some of the Heinz 100g pouches, now or very soon. Although they appear to be on 6 for £4 mbuy in A, the '11 of one and one of the other' "trick" should still work on five of them. You'd lose the comp. on one that wouldn't appear - however at 66 and two-thirds pence against competitor at 50p, that would have given (if it worked) only about 22p towards the APG and that 'loss' is far outweighed by having five at full price 94p each:D (instead of 'unhelpful' 66/67p:(:p) against 50p each at the competitor.

    However, bear in mind the offer at M seems to have only started yesterday. There may be another competitor at 50p on some of them (or have they only just gone onto or are coming off offer on them)?

    You'd need to check which ones are available in whichever competitor you are targeting. I've just added Apple & Mango to the M list but that one does not appear to be 50p at other competitors whereas Vegetable & Chicken Casserole appears to be also 50p on one other competitor? It's all question marks as I'm never sure:rotfl:. I never know whether the information I'm seeing on msm, or anywhere else, is correct!

    I do not currently have all of the ones I've found in M on the list - I have them scattered around my pieces of paper.

    Of course, unfortunately the first six would be at 45p each:eek: if they compared and you'd have to consider whether paying that price was worth the cheaper cost that five others (at full price vs 50p) should be (and one at full mbuy 66.7p:eek::rotfl:!).

    A v M
    Womble dated 16.47 yesterday

    I don't know where the morries price has come from.2 for £9 asda

    Morrisons presumably:rotfl:. The price collectors have got it from somewhere instore. It's yesterday though so it's last week. :oI don't know whether that 'milk' is £2 in M or not. [Strike]It's too little volume:o:o to interest me:rotfl:.[/Strike] EDIT: Looking at the prices elsewhere, it seems to me this might be an RTC price in M that has been picked up by the price collectors from some store that I don't have. Shall I look tomorrow though - I might try that? EDIT 2: I think I might not have much luck finding it as this may be a random item that just appears and then immediately clears out.

    Beggars that the 3 pack peppers are not comparing. They are 82p in M. The price collectors do seem hopeless on fresh fruit and veg. I think they clearly do seem to be the same agency that T apparently engaged that were, allegedly, notorious for missing fresh fruit/veg. in M. I have no hope that the Pak Choi will compare (it may do, but I wouldn't bet on it) and I wouldn't even expect the 300g Beetroot to pick up 47p - if it picks up anything at all. That clearly is 47p in M (until September) - but I have had problems on that - I was left with a 79p it seems incorrect SEL last week although msm showed me 47p. I knew nothing about that - and didn't check more than one store because I saw the 79p and had had no reason to think it was wrong. I had a worse situation in my store yesterday - I've now got 82p SEL instead (separate store)! I found 47p in the next store though and didn't bother looking in the third as it would be irrelevant anyway (not the stores the APG is checking) and it clearly is saying 47p until sometime in September!

    If they don't have straight SELs - I haven't seen a 47p SEL but merely an offer label over it (and not all Ms have put offer labels on), then it may pick up the SEL price underneath. It may therefore not work - although, with these collectors, I imagine they might completely miss the item altogether...:(

    No Iceberg Lettuce, no Cauliflower as well now, in addition to the bananas. They clearly have some issue in their system that is affecting fresh fruit/veg., in addition to their often rubbishness in this area. (They managed to pick up an apples pack though, even though there was no weight on it, when it had gone up in price in M:mad:. They now do have the Baking Potatoes that they were missing before - but only have them now M is full price. They did the same on the loose turnip - missing it totally when it was briefly cheap price in M but later picking it up when M had soon gone to full price. It's not always higher M price items though - that doesn't always explain their missing the carrots packs, even when they are higher in M (prices on those are now creeping up everywhere:() or the iceberg lettuce.)

    Strawberries are interesting. I've had a couple of different price assertions being shown to myself in M and don't know what price they really are:rotfl:. Msm is showing £2.94 (a different price again to the two different ones I've seen instore!) - they seemed to go down in price instore when msm went up!(:rotfl::rotfl:) I wasn't sure about their price at all, and still aren't. I'll go with £2.46 though which, sort of, matches what I've got. This may change now as prices may be altering in M hence the variant SELs. The packs themselves have no price on them - an indication that M may want to vary their price? However, at £2.46 comp. they work out worse than the previous option on another pack vs T, so they didn't get to the list. I think also slightly worse than the old 300g pack at £1 some months back in M - that later I think became 280g when M were promoting over the tannoy how good the offer was. Yes, I thought - on a downsized pack:(. Pull the other one!:rotfl:(:rotfl: - Why should I accept something that is worse than what it was before?)

    I had awful problems trying to decide which baby food was which - an awful long time since I fed a baby and in the olden days babies eat pureed adult food :D
    but I got all the right ones and it was confirmed next day, just waiting for the cashback to go into the bank account now.

    I had a bit of a guilt complex about not putting anything into the food bank trolley for ages so I got together a bag at the weekend - some food and toiletries and I've got another to go - baby food and toiletries - at least its a start :)

    There is peppa big bubble gum toothpaste (free) on shopmium from superdrug, good for food bank trolley too :)
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D

    I've now identified the right product on msm:rotfl:. Of the Sun Protection Lotion.

    I can see £5.00 and 2 for £9.00 for M. I think this was a case of £2 RTC being found in one M (and it will/would have been elsewhere at that price). I sometimes have it where msm has full pricing or high mbuys, from m.com, showing online but the items really are much cheaper and are on RTC instore. Invariably I see online going up in price when the items have gone down much cheaper than before instore! I have no idea why this happens.

    So - ignore msm I think is the message:rotfl:!

    (I've even seen ones where msm/m.com has some what seems to me to be strange pricing and seems to be on a no-good offer until such and such a date in the future, yet that is clearly wrong as I have a much cheaper price from instore. There just seems to be no agreement at all on some items (a very small number indeed though) between instore and online.)
