Hooray!:j:T
I was told this was returning N/A before but it looks like the price collection is now on Monday. The other option is that this is a Scottish thing - with M being picked up in England and Wales but possibly not Scotland. Can shoppers in Scotland confirm the comparison vs M is okay? I think the Villa Maria picking up £7 for M was posted yesterday and the price collection was probably still on last Wednesday when, afaik, the product was £7 in M.

In M today, I am not seeing much change. However, the SP chips, which should currently be getting 86p for M, may see another increase in the M price soon. This is now the third price increase in M in about a month and I am now seeing 90p in M:(. Whether it is a price increase of 15p from 75p to 90p or whether it is 6p plus 5p plus 4p, it is still 15p! They seem to have taken the incremental approach of small changes at a time as increasing straight from 75p to 90p may have been seen by more customers as unacceptable - however the end result for purchases made now is the same.

Otherwise, some men's razors have gone to full price in M, the offer on Lowicz Raspberry Syrup has ended - now £1.17 - I am going to move the product to Avs T until 20/3, and I need to check some Whiskas cat food further as I am now getting full price SELs but online is still saying £3 across all the applicable range. It looks like the RTC on Swizzels Superstars mix sweets tubs is off as they are now £3. However, Surf Tropical 90 wash washing powder is still £7.

Various lamb cuts are in the process of effectively going up in price from £5/Kg to higher prices and some people may already have only the higher priced stock available to them of some or all of the products they have. Older stock is still £5/Kg, some of which is on its UB date and therefore even cheaper today on store mark-down. I have newer stock at higher prices - Lamb Breast will be going to £6.33/Kg once all £5/Kg stock and stock on its UB is gone; Stuffed Lamb Breast to £6.58/Kg; Lamb Ribs and Lamb Shoulder to £6.33/Kg; and Minty Lamb Ribs £6.58/Kg. The Pork Shoulder (comparable from A) was £2.50 before - I now have new stock at £3.77/Kg. However, the £3/Kg gammon joints are still available and I have new stock now taking one of them to potentially 2nd April expiry date.

Hi curl girl. Paste your list into a word processing programme and then copy it from there. It sorts itself like magic. No idea why but someone on here told me that.
