Everything Leads Into The (new year) Elite thread

:hello:Went to Mr M tonight - couldn't find what I wanted but bought other things instead:):(:question:.

I would never have bought those Rice Snaps vs Sainsbobs if I'd been doing the regular price collection - I would have picked it up immediately that M were (are on RTC now) 50p.

Some items on "£1 bogo'f'" in M. M Maris Piper Potatoes 1.5kg.
3kg of potatoes for £1 - that's a good price IMO! Certainly, better than 10% off £1.19 on the SP Welsh Potatoes:(. Of course the price per unit shown on the offer cards in M is for buying one only - 66.7p/kg. (My guide is about 40p/kg and we haven't seen that very often more recently.) It's really half that 66.7p/kg if buying on the mbuy. Or mix and match possible with, for example, the BP"B""V" Oranges (over 1kg) - effectively 2 for £1.

These BPBV Oranges were previously considered good value at £1 offer prices (having been £1.49 or more on 'non-offer'). Then the 39p oranges/satsumas/whatever in Aldi caused me to rethink. The M BPBV ones are now considered fairly good if taking up that bogo'f'.

Also Cox Apple packs on £1 bogo'f'. £1 for 2 packs - that's better per pack than my 89p packs in Aldi:(.

Upper Crust (frozen) Steak or Cheese & Onion Slices (2) 99p until 26/1.

A vs M? Vimto Sparkling 2L is still(!) on 84p (was 67p several years ago). Quite a few Weight Watchers products (I mean the Breads, Bagels and similar) are on offer for M - see m.com! Bird's Eye 12 Chicken Dippers 99p for M. Heinz 4 pack soups - Chicken or Vegetable are at £2.00. That offer, though, excludes the 4 pack Tomato. They are on £1.69:rotfl::rotfl:. Better than those dreaded 50p individual Heinz tomato soup cans.

Imperial Leather 300ml products are on 89p in case any glitch opportunity arises (or, at least, any glitch opportunity that includes those products - not literally "any"!). Some Fruit Shoot drinks 8:eek: pack on £1.89 M (again, only if glitch opp. comes along on Avs). 2x Wisdom Clean Between Interdental Brushes (20) Avs M 2 for £3?

Some Colgate toothpastes back on offer in M (I think the £1.39 one was constant throughout, but others now on cheaper than that) - check m.com.

Quorn Fillets 312g 99p.

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1kg £1.37!!:j:j

T vs M?
The Cheese Feast pizzas in 2s? (2 for £3 M?)
Chinese or Indian meals - buy in 2s: 2 for £4. Also with those dips in 2s (2 for £1 M).
Ripen at Home Avocado 4 pack (£1 M).
Possibly the T Goodness for Kids Apples pack vs M at £1 (may give you a larger pack in T) but why bother with that? (When other apple packs on £1 bogo'f' in M.)

Other things can doubtless be found on m.com. But hopefully this has given some pointers as to where to start and what looks good value for M!

The Ariel glitch seems to be fixed:( (from shop done at 3.37), even though MSM still says £5.20.
Other items that MSM says are cheaper in T showing as same price as A!:mad::mad:

Sorry it didn't work (yet). Need to wait, wait, wait. As recent T price changeover does not get reflected in the APG till at least 24 hours after it being on msm on the half price.

Anyone tasted this wine.......might be worth it for £3.60 when compared to T

1 x ASDA Wine Selection Sicilian Red Italy (750ml)£4.50 £3.99

Price wise though, I think the A wines that have long been part of a 3 for £10 offer, A is going to scrap that mbuy. They are going to have a range of wines at £3 each.
