My Nobilo arrived today http://www.morrisonscellar.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10701&langId=-1&catalogId=11802&productId=183504
Just giving it a taste. I must say I got a right old moan about buying yet more wine lol so keeping my head down.
It's truly fantastic for the price £3.75 with the 25% discount code delivered and I think you'd be crazy not to give it a try if you like wine.
There ya go - an honest recommendation.0 -

I'm probably in and out tonight as other things to do (like sleep for instance!!:D:rotfl:). I've decided - do I 'sugar-coat' this post and spend ages trying to work out precisely how best to word it, or do I just write straight out what I'm thinking? I think I'll just come straight out with it...my brutal honesty to be respected, so if I'm referring to your shopping, please ignore this post and skip to whoever's next if I come across too bluntly (and harsher than intended).
For those who've only just encountered these threads, I have Asperger syndrome (although I don't wish to go on about it here, not because of any embarassment or it being any personal thing - far from it, I am very happy to share - but simply because I don't want to labour the matter and keep going on about it and boring everyone else on this thread), so I suspect that this is the great ability of my autism speaking...
Ohoh - this is going to cause annoyance...from my habit of being sometimes annoyingly right, but nonetheless...
First, regarding the Dove Pro Age, I thought this wouldn't be glitching all day today and, to be frank, it's lucky it glitched at all (early on today). Last night, I saw the multibuy back on and posted on here about it. I thought this glitch was not going to last much longer - and, as it turns out, it's been corrected by the overnight updating of the APG from MSM. It's therefore no surprise to me that shops at 8am worked but those at 9am didn't and, yet again, (somewhat annoyingly to others) it turns out I was correct here.
I do not get how people can make any mistake and get the wrong ones. It's always been very clear that it's the baby new potatoes and the other version instore are not the correct ones. (How can you miss the word "new"???) I think it's the lack of precision and lack of accuracy of the non-Aspergers population again. It's those people without Asperger syndrome again!:( (I can see this showing up, again, my tendency for correctness to the potential point of annoyance, but I'm sure I'm understood... and forgiven, as it's not intended in a bad way*!)
Many many thanks. I've checked and I currently have 570 m'buys on MSM logged out (and it's been that way since I first started to write this post half an hour ago;):rotfl:). I have 425 when logged in - so I think it is to be glitch Thursday!! Which is fantastic, if true, as it's Morries price collection tomorrow so I won't have time to do shopping in A and was therefore next to shop at A on Thursday!!:j:j:j (May be premature?) But hopefully not... last time I started a post about a 'glitch day' with the jump-arounds, it turned out to be almost a glitch week!!
Brilliant... I hope there's loads of good stuff on m'buy instore that's cheap in Sainsbobs (as that's whom my next comp. was due to be against), otherwise cheaper in Morries.:T:rotfl::j:j:j:j:j
*(There I go, sugar-coating again (or feeling the need to do so) in order to satisfy the needs/requirements of the non-AS people (i.e. 98-99% of people!).)
Savvy I'm still catching up, just to say awww thanks for your understanding, such a sweet post. It's great that you put your skills to use for our benefit.

In the same vein.:rotfl:
Waiting for 'scrpt in Boots I spied Jungle formula insect repellent, RTC as it had a 'short date'. Bought a spray and a stick, and an unknown multi-buy kicked in. Anyway, result both bought for £2.70. Maybe a local thing, but for those going on jollies in the next 3 months it might be worth looking out for.

I'm banned.
Something to do with buying too much "on offer" when OH could get better stuff from a staff shop cheaper than I had paid. Wouldn't have been too bad, but I bought a lot.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Thanks to both you and ledlights for trying - a lot of people would have got fingers burnt today on this one if doing today. Just proves now that we can't trust MYS completely when the multi prices are not showing.
Good evening all! I'm starting off tonight by continuing in the same vein as my post no 4031 (pg 202) from last night, so please see that post first if what now follows is too strident. [I notice, by coincidence, the post in question has just been quoted above by PetuliaGristle about 10 minutes ago, so folks you can now just see it above. PetuliaGristle:T.]
Why do people ignore me? I predicted it was going to be a glitch day on Thursday, so quite why are people trying the Coke now?:rotfl:
What day is it today? Thursday? No - it's Wednesday!! (Unless you're in Australia or the far East and thus won't be shopping in the UK and using the APG.) So, patience, patience, a virtue, you need to delay your shopping till tomorrow!
You can trust MSM - but you need to use MSM in the form it was two days ago and not the MSM that you see today!:D Two days ago (i.e. Monday), the m'buy offers were showing. They disappeared on Tuesday (yesterday) so, with the two-day delay, that makes tomorrow probably a glitch day. There were about 500 m'buys on Tuesday night, and that situation continued into the early hours of this morning.
On MSM as it shows now, I have well over 3500 m'buys showing. I feel this glitch (if it materialises) may not last more than a day.
I have therefore been waiting before I do any m'buy shopping tomorrow - in the meantime, I tried to do a usual 'missing from MSM' trigger instead - but, like someone else on here earlier, my useless store did not have the necessary trigger item!:mad:
Ah well, it'll be the m'buy shopping tomorrow (possibly/probably). The Morries check has been done today and I'm shortly gathering together the results. If you're outside of N. Ireland, there are some good items that might work well with a m'buy glitch.
There are wines on offer in M's and in addition to the offer prices, a further 25% reduction when buying six (this does not apply to the mini-bottles (the 187ml) or the 25cl. The 25% off element might also be "part of a promotion making it difficult for MSM to compare", so I doubt whether this would come back on APG.
The mini-bottles are on 2 for £3 in M - which may be useful if there's a glitch.
M's also now have McVitie's Milk or Dark Chocolate Biscuits (400g) on at £1.00. Not as good as vs 87p, but one to look out for if McVities are really 2 for £2.50 in A. We've got Kelloggs Nutrigrains, which may have an A multibuy, on offer in M, but I'll have to find which ones (the biscuits or the cereal bars?) in order to give the right pricing.
The Coke 2Ls however seem to be best vs somewhere else if the m'buys don't show tomorrow - they would be 2 for £2.50 plus £1.98 if buying 3 in M. (I think other competitors have a '2 for 1' part with individual price of 1.98, 1.98 for 2 plus a further 1.98 (is better than 2.50+1.98), or even 6 bought?)
The Powerade 500mls are 75p in M (not sure if this is relevant, and need to await the versions from me).
Note that the Cathedral City Mature or Lighter 350g are £1.95 each in M (until 26/5)!!:j:j
The 300g Bacon (with m'buy glitch) seems best vs M - 2 for £4.00 - as T is 2 for £4.50 and it seeems Sains. no multibuy.
The Aussies are still on 3 for £10 in M - this wouldn't work good vs M with two of them plus one missing-item trigger, as it's then 2x £4.50 for M, but if it's multibuy glitch, full x 3 vs 3 for £10 may be good (assuming the prices and offer for M are picked up). Details of the Aussies have therefore been obtained.:T
Individual Mullers are off though (now 6 for £3 in M). Muller Corner 6s £3.89 bogof for M.
Finally, lots of assorted 4 pack chocs are on £1 in M - including the Topic 4s (which are 2 for £3 in A, but £1.60 individually - so a small saving if a glitch) - however I don't want to bother with chocs. now after T had some boxes at 1p or 2p each!! There's lots more... full details will materialise later, and more details if it does become a m'buy glitch day/three quarters of a-day.0 -

Thanks for this, i got bitten alive the first time i went, i used to smother myself in stuff and always asked for coils when we went out for dinner but they just liked me, i lived in the pharamcy or 6 weeks lol.
