    It seems I'm in harmony with the correct prices on the Iron Maiden ale in M. Msm had £1.65 about a week ago (suddenly went up after being on £1 offer that was supposed to have lasted longer than it did). It had £1 last Wednesday, which I also did from instore, and it has £1.65 now - so, whoopy-doo, we're on the same page:j:j. (I suspect it's actually £1.65 and 4 for £6, but I suppose it's possible it's not on the mbuy at all - I have the occasional store that has straight £1.65 on this and £1.65 and mbuy on a lot of others, but it's irrelevant anyway as we're not bothered with it at its high pricing in M.)

    So, yes, it does seem that M is putting it onto £1 price only to take that away again very soon and, as of Monday, has now done so for a second time in recent weeks. Try to confuse me, it won't work;):D:rotfl:.

    Take a look at the list as there are lots of new items in bold there.

    So:

    ASDA Grower's Selection Herby Tomato Vegetables (400g)£1.50/Any 2 for £2.50 £1.00 However, I would wait to give time for M's £1 price to become established - it's possible that other Ms may have stock on older BC at £1.47 - indeed I have one M with that price on the shelf although OOS suggesting that it is around in another store. It took me some time to track down the product in M this time - most of my Ms now had no trace of it, so APG might return N/A or could return £1.47 M at this stage.

    An item that has no M price for it on msm.
    In fact, msm has incorrect £1.47 price, on the M side of the site on the M product - this is the comparable item: http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/morrisons-price-comparison/Fresh_Ready_Meals/Morrisons_Mediterranean_Roast_Vegetables_400g.html - or, rather, there are two versions around and online is using the price of the £1.47 product rather than the one in other stores, called exactly the same thing but with a different BC, that is definitely £1. I think M might have different stock in different stores in order to try to ensure that people pay full price on at least some items in their shopping basket if they go to one M to do their shopping. Very nice idea and way of doing it so that not everyone can get all the offers that M has across its stores! Or would have to use different stores and buy the offer items from each (the ones that are on offer in each store) - which, of course, is not the way the vast majority of people shop. Basically, they just go to one store, buy everything they need there and pay whatever price it is:wall:. Instead, people should buy only whatever is best in each store and refuse to buy anything else at all there if it is not a good price from their POV:money: (and I mean shopping at competitors available to you too!).

    Anyway, back to the point...;)

    3xKA Sparkling Black Grape Flavour Drink (330ml)Any 3 for £1.00 Any 3 for £1.00 Now got this back - but it's hopeless as I will lose them again on Wednesday when I use my nearby Ms that don't have them. No expiry date of the offer on the shelf so I can't tell how long it is on for.
    3xKA Sparkling Fruit Punch Drink (330ml)Any 3 for £1.00 Any 3 for £1.00 As above.
    3xKA Sparkling Pineapple Flavour Drink (330ml)Any 3 for £1.00 Any 3 for £1.00 As above.

    Followed by these, none of which are on m.com or therefore msm for M.
