    Womble today - hopeless as not picking up Pringles Pigs in Blanket vs M at all - M is £1.00 (I think it's most likely to be because either it is a new item for the collectors and they haven't got it in the system yet or it's not in the price collection stores):

    Vs M
    1x Pringles Pigs in Blankets (190G) £1.25 N/A

    So, it seems at first sight the shop would not have been 10% cheaper if the T comp. hadn't worked out better. This is comparing against T:

    Vs T
    1x Pringles Pigs in Blankets (190G) £1.25 £0.99

    However, this has failed to compare against T (T is straight £1) so, lost 40p and still not 10% cheaper even than T:p:

    4x Pepsi Max Cherry Bottle (2LT) £4.00 N/A:(

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Soft_Drinks/Pepsi_Max_Cherry_Cola_2L.html

    It's not even as if the word "Cola" appears on t.com - I do not know why this is not picked up (and consequently why A are currently unable, just from their own APG system alone, to be 10% cheaper than T on shops on which this is bought and the comp. is overall best against T):

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=274172128

    Unfortunately:(:mad::mad:, the shopper also bought just about the only two versions of Pringles that aren't on t.com:

    Vs T
    1x Pringles Roast Chicken & Herbs (190G) £1.25 N/A
    1x Pringles Cheesy Cheese (190G) £1.25 N/A

    These two compare against M (I would have said 'fortunately' - but no use to me as the overall T comp. was better:p):

    Vs M (I think I said that!:p:rotfl:)
    1x Pringles Roast Chicken & Herbs (190G) £1.25 £1.00
    1x Pringles Cheesy Cheese (190G) £1.25 £1.00

    Just to catch you out if buying against T:rotfl::(.

    Vs M
    1x ASDA Grated Coloured Cheddar And Red Leicester (500G) £2.19 £2.21

    Also - rush now on the SP Grated Cheddar:laugh: below as M has already really been £2.45 since at least Monday 12th (A now more than 10% cheaper than real price, by 1.5p:p so buying in Aldi or on Avs S or AvsW would be the cheapest available on regular prices once the M comp. corrects to the right (or wrong for us!) M price. In other words more expensive than this glitch currently is against M, which is merely a glitch extending the old M price that was on in M (or believed by me to be on in M) before (what I think is) M's price increase of this week).

    Vs M
    1x ASDA Smartprice Grated Cheddar (500G) £2.19 £2.21

    No use to me as compares against T at £2.50!(:rotfl:)

    The Grated Coloured Cheddar and etc. (it looks like it's really SP Grated Coloured Cheddar and Red Leicester from a.com) is one that I have failed to pick up:o in M. However, I think it is because it is comparing, and then picking up an old M price:T, against the same item in M as the SP Grated Cheddar. So it is probably not something that I have missed:) (phew, thank goodness for that:rotfl:). M do not have, as far as I know, Savers Coloured Cheddar and Red Leicester - I have not seen it anyway and, if they have, then I have failed to identify it:o - however the APG has picked up Savers Grated Cheddar and looks like it is comparing against the (believed to be) incorrect price for M (which is, currently, in our favour - but not on wombles that work out best against elsewhere than M:p:(:rotfl::rotfl:).

    So, if M had been best, I would have lost 35p on the Pringles but gained 23p on the cheese, possibly 45p if the Savers Coloured Cheese version does not exist. So, overall, M comp. could have given me 10p more than it 'should'. However, it looks like I lose 40p against T:(.
