I think they are. I saw S showing £3 on msm this morning - this gave me a little bit of initial confusion but, people will be pleased to know, their fuzzy, non-specific, no detail, not fully clear information was just about enough to enable me to work out what they meant and I sneaked the product onto the M list:rotfl:. I took a gamble really - I'm now glad the product I put on there has turned out to be the correct one:rotfl::rotfl:. It is supposed to be on in M until only 14th November:( - but, each time I point out what was due to be a very time-limited offer price in M, they seem to extend the offer period.

They had exactly 6 in stock this morning (I'm wondering if someone had returned them) so I got them all.

CoS have paid already.

It's those little bits of detail, entirely away from the Nivea Q10 Cream that, this time, are the most useful to me:T. I notice the SP Salted Butter now picking up an M price, so this will be amended on the SP part of the M list soon, as opposed to the M part of the SP list which, I think, is defunct for the moment. No longer best vs T, except for shopping in Northern Ireland that has no choice (and again this glitch, on the Nivea, not fully available to them:(). The price collectors are agreeing with me - I have done another shop vs M since my last one - I may get round to retrieving the comp. and posting it later - and, again, obviously a perfect set of results vs M - I tried a McVitie's Cheesecake biscuits mix and match and it picked up M 2 for £1 - not a great price, and those biscuits are lower gs. but, believe me, I like the biscuits and wanted them so it was 'perfect' for that - I also haven't been able to find any trace of the Savers Chicken or Ham & Beef Paste in M either so I also have N/A for M on those two items.

Interestingly the 17p sparkling water is vivisble again - I am sure it used to not show up ...

I think Sparkling Water is the same as before - what it is is that it always showed up/was visible on the comps. (unless you are talking about earlier when it had a change of source to Spring Water and both Still and Sparkling were absent from a.com and the APG until the products got changed over to the 'new' versions, new BCs) - it has, I think, been visible ever since then but comparing against T at 17p and M's price of 18p has been an N/A. That's what it currently still is. Still Water last time I saw - 17p vs T - had got its M price of 18p back but Sparkling Water still has M absent. Both were comparing a while ago vs M, but it's currently just Still Water that compares on the M comp. (against 18p M).

Afaik, the SP Cola/Lemonade are only comparing 17p against T and both remain without an M price. I think probably a temporary stockout or absence from the collection stores, the prices fall off the system, the product goes N/A vs M and still hasn't come back. On mine - I think it was one of my comps. - I had a full column vs M, of prices, but the T comp. (which didn't matter) was a little bit bitty - with no T price for 10p Starmix (that fell off after the system decided the lack of weight on t.com meant a difference, resulting in any mix and match attempting against 5 for 60p at T and involving it failing:() and no T price for the SP Fish Fingers - the T price fell off after a temporary absence from t.com of T's product and, even though T's product has reappeared and been back for several months, it's no longer comparing to T on the APG. T's price has gone up (as has A's) since - but it's vs M (not Northern Ireland shops) or vs S at 65p.
