Glitch on 3 for £3 now best on this item vs W?

Kettle Bites - Maple Barbeque Wholegrain Waves (5x22g)


£1.89 any 3 for £3.00
£1.72 / 90.9p / 100g

£1.60 any 2 for £2.00

Thanks ChelseaFred for drawing my attention to another couple of items against M that I hadn't realised, namely a couple of the Kettle Chips 5 pack multipacks as, of course, M's mbuy works just as well as straight £1 when we are buying two to compare. Those led to the above find:T. The comparison on the Amstel against M seems to be correct - the one for me to frown about is A's Ironing Water comparing 69p vs 80p because A has put its price down - :(:(:p:mad::(:p! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::rotfl:

I assume that that is now versus everywhere except M as it is best to settle for an N/A, unless a lower APG is desired for some reason?

Meanwhile 3Dogs has done an excellent list on gift sets vs T, with ascending prices that not even I could manage:T:T. Be aware though that some of the main items vs M on there are now out-of-date: the Palmolives should be off nearly a week ago now, the Nivea lip products should be off too (we never know if they may pick up an incorect out-of-date price for M but really it shouldn't and to rely on that happening, which probably won't happen, is risking it) and the Head & Shoulders mbuy in M ended last Wednesday as well. I also think that Colgate Total toothpaste may need removing and probably won't pick up the mix and match now - I know it says 2 for £3 online but all the Ms I've seen had now gone to full price display for those: it should be the Sensifoam toothpaste (as always was) and the Triple Action mouthwash now (that may always have been but I didn't identify it until 3Dogs' list informed me about it being in A's 3 for 2 a few days ago:o), it shouldn't be mix and match on those but they will probably mix them up and pick one up. The technical correct way is Sensifoam is in a 2 for £3 mbuy and the Triple Action mouthwash is in a separate 2 for £3 in M.

I will have another look tomorrow to see if the mbuy labelling is now showing in my M on the Colgate Total toothpastes. It wasn't just one store last Wednesday though - it was four separate stores, all losing their mbuy from the display at the same time. I don't think they are on mbuy in M anymore, even if it is still showing online (might not have been updated) and, even if they are on mbuy, if stores are not displaying it anymore, then the APG will likely go to full price M.

Some of the 'filler' items are off as well, including Stork (1Kg) and the Garlic & Herb Baguette - that should not compare against £1.02 now - has been off in M for about a couple of weeks, maybe longer as weeks go by:rotfl:... - anyway, it should have moved onto a different couple of baguettes; you may be best looking at the M list for some of the fillers. Or maybe not, as it doesn't matter if I find items like 200g Cooked Chicken or 210g Plain Folded Flatbread in M - neither of them pick up an M price on the APG:(. The A Plain Folded Flatbread says 6 on msm but comes up as (210g) on the APG. Look at this though -

https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Morrisons-Folded-Flatbreads/336017011?dnr=y

It is Folded Flatbread and, on the picture, it is Plain Flatbread and, if you look at the picture very closely (and perhaps hover over it and magnify it) what weight does it say on there? Open your eyes price collectors!:mad::rotfl::rotfl:

However, the shop compared best overall against S and it did pick up S at 80p there - which, unfortunately, beats M mbuy even though really we ought to be able to get 10% cheaper than that - but they bought only one on the shop anyway, so one against M at N/A:( or at £1 would have been the same.

This is what I understand. The glitch could already well be over for all I know though, as I haven't explicitly seen it posted to say expressly that it is still on. As far as I understand, it is still on.

Worked for me today, Tom Ketchup trigger with 2 Wotsits. Not the best comparison but GK's like them.

ChelseaFred:)

So far 160 of nectar points comverted to 280 crisp folding notes via cex, 2 more days to go, would love to do the same again

Some subtle manoeuvres that may have been missed as I've removed the old items straight from the list.

I've moved from the Salad Tomatoes 6 pack to the 750g pack vs M. I've also moved from the Tenderheart to the Savoy Cabbage - the Savoy does at least work at the moment comparing 69p vs 50p M.

The Wagg Complete dog foods 17Kg should not compare against £9 now - that was ages ago and they have been higher price in the meantime but one of them at least (and I imagine the other one too) had gone to £10 in M last time.

The M list, btw, did get updated from all the information I had. In the end, I was left with only a few items in the health & beauty and baby products aisles, none of them of any interest, and I put those final few on today. There remains perhaps a few items from online to put onto the list. I have already got another copy of the list now, for tomorrow - although this isn't a full check and Wednesday this week will be very limited time as well. I'm now in not being able to do much with it until December, tomorrow may help slightly towards Wednesday but I do have limited stores then so I don't know how much I can do. I may end up with just one store:eek:, which will be totally inadequate and will leave numerous items outstanding - queries unresolved that I won't be able to resolve - although I do have the usual full time in the first store (maybe only store if the rest of the day gets really bad) and at least that is something.
