Not so. Or, not necessarily. I had these (McCoy's Classic Crisps) on a womble last week where they and some French Fries appeared on the comp. at full price £1.45 each. McCoy's were an OOS glitch. However, I tried them myself the following day - I didn't post - but, unfortunately, the McCoy's Classic appeared to have refreshed as they appeared on the comp. picking up the mbuy (£1.00 A) with the French Fries:(. (In fact the resultant APG on the shop was so low it wasn't even worth printing. So, full 2 for £2 price to A:p.)

I'm not bothering doing the M list at the moment and I haven't been to M today. I think I'm just having some time off from it. The next time I go to M for this will probably be 22nd February. And then I may leave it off and no go again until 13th and/or 15th March. I'll eventually update to last Wednesday's prices, so bringing it more up-to-date than what it currently is although some of it will be out of date and thus need checking msm/m.com to see that prices haven't changed since (where they are even showing on there). I assume it's already common knowledge that Shredded Wheat Honey Nut (500g) has been and is (until 21st February according to msm) £1 in M, therefore Avs M. Bitesize Shredded Wheat (500g) is also £1 in M, however do *not* buy that in A (£2.49) as it extremely likely does not appear on the comp. at all as it appears it is not on a.com. I can't say as the shop was not done today but it did not appear at all a week ago.

Strange things as the McCoy's did not seem to be on a.com, at least not when signed out; however they picked up the mbuy by the day I bought them.

So, the best price per unit on the Bitesize Shredded Wheat should be Avs T at £1.59, as Avs M £1 most probably indeed does not work (works out more expensive for a 500g pack in A than buying 750g in T outright - £2.49 500g A; £1.59 750g T) and straight £1 in M is more expensive per unit than 10% off T's price.

And just to show it

Thanks - I was hedging my bets as I knew it worked a week ago. I can't show you Nestle Bitesize 500g failure against M as it did not appear:(:(. I think 500g may be on a.com somewhere but may be OOS signed in - I did not see - but I know it is, for me, "---" for A on msm so I knew there was some risk with it. It was a no-show!:eek::( As I say, it would have been better buying any other pack on offer at M or T. And it wasn't 10% cheaper guaranteed at all as one of my other items (that was due to expire on offer in M) picked up full price M:( so it was an overall failed shop, wasn't money-saving overall at all and would have been cheaper just buying everything in M. I don't know what happened in M as I did not visit M on that Wednesday but, probably, the collection stores had changed their SELs early and were mainly showing full price on the collection day. Or never showing the offer in the first place. That was probably the reason, it was still no good but showing the offer expiry online so I think I had bought correctly (or, rather, incorrectly as I should have bought it all in M).

On the 750g pack against T, I should amend "should be" to "is":cool:.

I've been trying to catch up on here all night but it's been one drama after another:eek::rotfl:

Hope everyone is well:)

Tesco Home panels have asked if I would do a survey on organic nuts:eek:

mhoc

on the subject of fridges - one of my door shelves has all of the small sauce jars, mayo, pesto, jam, ketchup etc

another has all of my minature spirit bottles - port, gin, whisky etc

I used to have a shelf in the main body of the fridge just for chocolate but its only half a shelf now as chocolate is banned

I also used to keep crisps in the freezer as it improved the flavour but these are now also banned as per the NYR

There are no eggs in my fridge as there is no one home to eat them

TrulyMadly

I picked some whoopsied eggs up tonight. I spotted a woman pick up a pack of 6 and put it back on the shelf. She said one was broken.:eek:

I happily paid 10p for 5 eggs dated February 13th

Hmmm, crisps in freezer, got to try that.
I got asked about the nuts too, and i have not done a survey for teskies for over a year or even two.
