Extra Lessons In Tempting Essentials

Oral B Complete Extra Fresh Toothpaste/Complete Extra White Toothpaste/Complete Mouthwash & Whitening Toothpaste (100ml)
All of these are £1.24 each in M.

M'buy glitch?
The three are all on 2 for £3.00 in A. But MSM showing only the individual prices - £2.00 for the Mouthwash & Whitening, £2.20 for the Extra White and £2.47 for the Extra Fresh.

Therefore, for example 1x Extra Fresh and 1x Mouthwash & Whitening probably for pay £3 but £2.47+£2.00 vs 2x £1.24.
Hopefully both the ones you buy don't return N/A for M!

I've already had only the Oral B Extra Fresh on my Avs M list, as the best option (it's price of £2.47 being the best, when previous possibility of using a trigger) - now it appears to be m'buy glitch day, 2x Oral B Extra Fresh appears best. Due to that being the 'best price', I'm leaving just that one on my Avs M list. But these possibly alternative combos (assuming they work) mentioned here just so you know.

Probably been posted before, but these guys offer decent cashback instore https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/cashback/cashbackCard and online https://www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk/cashback/online using their cashback card. And as far as I'm aware they still include eBay...

The card can be topped up manually or via dd from your bank account if you reach a certain point.

Worth looking into if you know an agent (you don't have to sign up to the other services if you don't want to) and if you don't know an agent in your area feel free to PM me.

NB I'm not an agent but know a few who are. The agents earn money from referring people, signing them up, setting them up as agents in their area etc and the top earning agents can get bonuses (a mini -car) etc.

If this breaches rules etc then please remove, just thought it was a good deal for anyone not already signed up

Thanks Savvy. I've been noticing a lot of supermarkets are doing a 'bag' of carrots (for example) for £1 when often the loose are cheaper per kg and on the odd chance I remember the price the green grocer seems better value.

Ms are my preferred supermarket for veg since my local had a revamp, they have most of the fresh veg unbagged and with 'water sprays' to keep them fresh and they just look more appetising. Sure they're probably the same price elsewhere but the whoopsies in store are much better value than in my local Ts and As.

I've been disappointed in Ts of late. I still remember 8/9 years ago when I could do a whole months shop for four of us for £40. How times have changed. Granted that was a muggle shop, but with value potatoes and mince at 80p a bag and beans at 1p at times it was worth it.

If I price up my shopping list now it's shocking! Tinned tomatoes up to 35p from 13p, noodles from 5p to 15p, even dried spaghetti and flour was 9p and is now 35p+.

That's why I'm grateful for this thread and also your posts. I'm sure that without the comparisons and the ( rare) glitch I'd be spending way more than I needed to.

Thanks - you know I could talk for England - and Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the British Islands! - on this. All I'll say is refer people back to my point about the offers and prices keep switching from one version to the next then back again, so the public in general - who are largely brand loyal - buy the same brand each time - and buy the same size and variety week after week will sometimes, or often, pay over the odds. My advice: switch and switch and switch and switch... and ditch and switch...

Getting to the final few items to check AvsM. Benadyl Allergy Relief (12) are best per pack on Ocado's BOGOF but, if you aren't doing that, the next best is Avs M £3.00 vs £2.30. Unfortunately, a bit disappointing though as no multibuys on them. In that case, we have some Galpharm Hayfever relief products, 85p each for packs of 7, going onto the 'cheaper in M'.

Northern Ireland too!!!:):)

Cheaper in T
T Counter Haslet 35p/100g N/A at A
(A = A Haslet prepacked £1.00 for 150g = 66.7p/100g
M = M Haslet prepacked £1.00 for 200g = 50p/100g)

Ok, shall I say that in my cautious way it looks like it may be an APG multibuy glitch day today!! (Shall I get the three jump-arounds out for good luck - yes! - :j:j:j)

Do not let my most recent post distract from these:

The Nivea Shower Creams, e.g. the Happy Time 250ml, look very good, as it's showing at £1.89 straight on msm, but really it's on 2 for £3. Buy in 2s - best (not N Ireland) looks to be vs M at 94p, but there's a back-up vs T (and also for N Ireland) at 95p until 3/6 (treat as 2/6 as online pricing is used for T, which ends a day before the in-store offers do).

Nivea Shower Cream - Happy Time/Cashmere Moments/Creme Soft 250ml
£1.89/Any 2 for £3.00 94p (vs M) May be back-up vs T at 95p - check msm.

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Cream Oil 250ml
£1.89/Any 2 for £3.00 94p (vs M only)

Also
Nivea Shower Gel - Sensitive, Energy or Sport 250ml
£1.89/Any 2 for £3.00 £1.00 (vs M)

Look on msm.co.uk before you shop, in case things have changed by the daytime.

Okay folks, with that; basically you should just read my posts from last night and through the night; as they give all the details, and, in G Britain, see my list on the first page (post 17 & 20). M lists are now completed for this week. I'll leave you all now to see what you can make of it:rotfl::rotfl:, and I wish you all a very good morning.:):)

Not sure how to put this on my Avs M list - will probably be too complicated there.
Clairol Nice N Easys are showing £5.00 on MSM.co.uk (no multibuy) showing but are also 3 for £10 on a.com. That offer includes some Aussies and Head and Shoulders and others.

I have the following Clairol Nice N Easy Non-Permanents as being 'any 2 for £8' in M (which is cheaper per pack than S at £4.66):

Ash Blonde 73
Light Ash Blonde 75
Lasting Brown Medium
Light Brown
Medium Brown
Dark Brown
Dark Warm Brown
Little Warm Brown
Dark Blonde.

Some of these might not be avail. in A. It seems buy 6 A vs M, would hopefully compare £5x 6= £30 (although you pay 2x £10) vs M at 3x £8= 24. Is £8.40 onto the APG (watch for the £15 though!!)

Multis are off on MSM on lots of products at the moment (may be fixed later this morning).

Head & Shoulders also on a buy 2 for ?? offer in M (2 for £4 perhaps? - sorry, didn't take the details of every item - too much shampoo after several previous glitches myself).

Don't forget triggers may also exist in the 3 for £10 offer, then hopefully 2 comparing vs competitor's multibuy of buy 2 for... (if they've picked both of them up on the APG:(). Aussies are £4 each in M, so may be better options (such as vs W for instance, not sure if T's 3 for 2 will be picked up - but perhaps it stands a better chance of doing so if it's a glitchy day!)

Don't the Butch. Selection bacon 10per pack, 300g are best Avs M (in 2s) if it's m'buy glitch day.

I can confirm that Aussie shampoos are 3 for £10 at my local A.

Savvybuyer

As at time of posting, multis are not showing on Cathedral Extra Mature 350g on Msm. It does look like we may be treated to a major glitch soon - if there is not one already on!

Goodnight/morning!

[Update: just after 4am, multis still off. I think last time they came back on the Cathedral overnight, before this time, and then still continued glitching for most of the next week.]

They are indeed - and not just at your local A. Have a look on msm as to whether any have the multibuy offer missing and to which rival they might compare best.
Thanks for drawing my attention to my error in my post (by quoting it). I meant to write "Don't forget the Butch. Selection..." etc. is best vs M. (given that it's multibuy is off on MSM). In normal times (non-glitch times that is, although glitch is becoming quite normal:D), I wouldn't buy this bacon on price - but, if there is a glitch (and it's still an 'if') - it does make a difference, and I've already now added the bacons onto my Avs M.

Omg I love Haslet! But trying to explain this to my friends! This is possibly my favourite item on the deli counter
