I do think that m.com reflects just one store (Leamington) as there are loads of items that are just not online at all.

Look at this for instance - challenge T with this as it is 80p in M (offer due until 9th October). I do doubt that they will have this, from using just three Ms, unless they have one that has a large Halal and Kosher range.

If they use my "Halal and Kosher" M, they will miss loads of other items:rotfl: (and I can't see them picking them all up from just two stores elsewhere!).

I do not know whether "Unavailable in A" means that it has gone onto RTC in A and is maybe cheaper there now than M's offer. If it does, then, rightly unfortunately, such an A price will not be matched by T as not only does this appear not be on a.com (which is essential for T to match an A price) but it would also be a reduction price and TBG does not include those prices. Unless it was in respect of M and their only Ms fail to indicate RTC on their SELs I presume:rotfl:. (On other items - as this one is clearly on 80p offer price, not excluded RTC.)

I don't even know if I have all versions of the 200g product:rotfl:. My M, the only one that had these products, had only two versions and I don't know if any others exist. So far so good however:D - I note only the two I have have any trace left on msm for anywhere at all. So it does look like I have them all!:T However, :(that's not to exclude the possibility that M could have one, or more, that are unique to them that exist only at some other M or Ms which I do not know about.

Although I have only one of them showing in stock for T on msm, I have put both in italics on the list as I can't rule out T having the other one in some T even if it is not on t.com and, even if the product is just instore, it should still compare. Bet it won't though:rotfl: (I reckon their Ms most likely don't have these products!). If the other one, which appears not to be on t.com, happens to have gone cheaper in T than M's 80p, being on some RTC in T, then it could be a good filler even against M - if it is that T's agents haven't got an M with the product, otherwise, if they have, and actually do have M's 80p, it would need to be bought separately in T (and hypothetically cheaper than 80p).

I think they can't pick up some more commonly bought items - we've seen some of those, such as some specific McCains pack of wedges, in the past, return with an N/A (I suspect because it wasn't in any of their three stores at the time of their checks - I had three Ms without it - in fact more than that - on the same check day, so it certainly was possible) so, if more common items might sometimes not be able to picked up, what hope can they have for more specialised products like this? T overall is said to have a greater range of products than any of the other supermarkets so this may be a concern as some people may buy (probably more so in T) specialised products that aren't in their check M stores and, if M is cheaper, unknowingly end up paying more.

I can (within limits) move around and can therefore pick up items that I didn't have on previous days (and hopefully get a great range of items more regularly) whereas, I suspect, the price collectors would remain in the same stores each time. It's possible that I have only just seen these items because they have only just gone onto offer and that they therefore could have been in other stores I have visited previously but unnoticed by me as they were then high M prices. However, as far as I am aware, I haven't seen them in other Ms before. That said, I visited the same M some time before and, as far as I know, I didn't see the products then or may have had them down but later decided their price at that time wasn't any good to be mentioned or included anywhere, so I didn't remember them. They may have been in this M when I last visited and may be in more other Ms elsewhere than I think.
