Unfortunately I cant see any good comparisons

No, nothing good there:(. (I've obviously removed the most important part of your post:rotfl::T.)

I noticed the small pack (550g) of Coco Pops is £2 in M - they really like that one the muggles do as £2 is a little expensive even for the bigger 800g pack. I can only conclude people like being short-changed:rotfl:. (800g packs go onto £1.87 offers.)

It reminds me someone bought one on a womble from Sunday (of course they bought one of the very expensive 'small' packs that they will therefore get through very quickly and will soon be paying real expensive prices for again, such as 3 for £5:eek::eek:!). The shop was hopeless - not much worth buying - the Rolo Dessert maybe (was 92p in W some time ago) but if shopped for now, I think M would be even more expensive! M has gone up to £2 on the Rolo Dessert, so I think this is off now.

They failed to mitigate the Cadbury Pots of Joy - M 2 for £3:eek:. The 'good' items are ones against which M does not compare:(. There are some doughballs in M at £1.45. The crumpets - M is an 8 pack 2 for £1 but more expensive individual price. Thank goodness they find no Houmous around 180g:rotfl:. I'd expect 300g at 50p, let alone just 180g_pale_. Frijj milkshake - hopeless:(.

The Fox's Biscuits are expensive too - they like those small packs at 50p! I did do very well on my price collection yesterday, as I managed to identify these (and also even some Malted Milk pack - yes I managed to find that too!:D) at 2 for 70p.

Fox's Creams - Nice (175g)



40p any 2 for 70p

Or alternatively £1 straight price according to my other M:rotfl:. I thought that was incorrect though and came back thinking they were 2 for 70p. And it seems they are!:T However, it looks like buy in Poundland or Poundstretcher - and it seems they've gone up from 33.3...p net to 35p net, so it looks like the new offer is more expensive than the previous price. 175g though, not 150g:p:rotfl:. Admittedly not Jam n Cream - I think my default on Jam n Cream equivalent is not-as-well-known brand in Aldi or Lidl. The biscuits all the same:rotfl: - they've got jam, cream, it's all the same thing in it - no need to pay for expensive brands that, I think, in truth, are no better but are the same ingredients. Or presumably reduced packs on RTC shelves, of whatever make, are available cheaper still from time to time. Probably available every day, as long as you are in the right different (changing) store every time:rotfl:. Just depends on you being in the right place at the right time...;)

I don't know where some of these (apparently) incorrect SEL prices come from. I had my Extra Large fish compare, fortunately, against M at £1. Thank goodness the price collectors weren't in the M that I had the other day though - SEL price there of £2.99:eek::eek::rotfl: (...or if they were got £1 from more than one other place). I had a couple of stores again with correct £1 yesterday and not showing any crossed out price of £2.99 but instead the crossed out price was much lower than that. So, I don't know where the £2.99 has come from. Fwiw, M also have (somewhere!) Birds Eye Harry Ramsden 2 Fish Fillets (200g) in M at £1 - not making the list, doesn't seem to be available elsewhere and they are 200g packs, at same price, and not the 320g of the Extra Large version.

I've also taken the McVities Jaffa Cakes 36 pack from off watch for Tvs M to buy in M. I had them showing £1.47 in just one store on Saturday - didn't find the product in any of the other seven:eek: stores! I thought that that price could have only just have gone on though and missed T's collection day - apart from the fact that I didn't trust the price even though it was a huge offer label! - I still don't trust that half-metre high labels are correct - they too might be wrong! - so I wanted to check this again yesterday to confirm it really was £1.47.

I had no luck at stores 1 to 5 inclusive yesterday:rotfl:. However, yes, the sixth store again:D - and there - what are the chances of this? - I found the item had gone onto £1.25 RTC. Fancy me finding that:rotfl:. (I think that was luck!) So it's now moved to a buy in M (if you can find it) - a little more expensive than SP/Savers/Eday Essential and a lot more expensive than 1p 24 pack Jaffa Cakes of some years ago:rotfl: - but it beats Avs M on 24 pack at £1 (I presume it will have the correct M price:rotfl::() and TBG should not match £1.25 as it is an RTC price in M.

Good afternoon.

The heat is getting to me.
Locked myself out this morning.I knew i had a spare key hidden in my cellar which has outside access.
I couldn't get the key tp work so ended up up a ladder with a walking stick through the little window to open the larger side one and climb through.

I couldn't understand why the key wouldn't work then I remembered I also had next doors hidden away as well:rotfl:

I also fell over down the garden a couple of days ago and grazed my elbow.

I'm convinced my brain is trying to work faster thanmy body wants to in the hot weather.

Hi bubbs, buy in A's most favourable comparison is S at the moment but is going on offer it T's and if it is picked up on APG a comparison against T's will then give a profit so still buy in A's. I think that's what was meant

Ok Thanks
