Experimental Little Invention Takes Existence

Savvybuyer

Hi there:):).

And - oo dear, I came out of M and when I got into my car I noticed from my car clock that it was much later it is usually is - doesn't time fly when you're having fun?!! So, after a slow (as is now obvious), careful check, I've got all the M price details anyone could need (possibly).

Just looked at my list and I've missed checking one entry- the Lynx Shampoo. But it says "until 4/8" so it's not going to be on now - it's going to be full price again, isn't it?? So I can cross through that entry and...hey!!...Morries check complete:):):j.

Lots to report - again! I gather that the forums are back to normal again as regards smilies (in that I posted one straight on with no problem last night), so it may allow me live editing when I come to do that with the M list this weekend. Even so I may not be risking it - risking losing the whole lot - so I might, instead, update offline and then just post it straight on when finished.

I've got my own non-vs M shopping to go tomorrow night, so there's little chance of me getting time to do anything then. So it looks like a very busy Fri. night or Saturday doing it - just so much, potentially, to put on and I'm also hoping (almost certainly a forelorn hope again) to store somewhere the entire list of ranges of certain products, such as the Chicken Tonights (now finished on their £1 in M BTW), the Homeprides, the Taylor's coffees, the Danio yogurts (individual back to 50p each in M) and the Dolmios etc., so that I don't have to keep taking down the details of the range of items each time.

(To be fair, I don't go through all of them every week, but I write down "as before" (or, rather, I scrawl "as B4") but then have to go and find the previous time the products were on offer - and it's different times for different products so sometimes having to check back quite a bit. That will be short-cut once I get sorted a list of various ranges, and all the items within them, that often go on offer. I'll then just be able to write Homeprides back on offer £1!:beer::j.)

So - after four and a half hours - not normally that long! - I finally have the details that I will, tardily again, be getting round to giving you. But today's collection - done without frustration. A nice, leisurely and stress-free walk around Ms, and without buying anything or spending much money.:T

Found today, the "BPBV" pack of Oranges (7) are back at £1.00 in M!:j:j:j I found only one pack left though when I got there - so I took the last pack - and then went through the SS and back to my car - I wasn't carrying that around all night:D - perhaps that's where the extra time went to??

Lots of fresh veg. on 50ps in M!:j:j Celery, Savoy Cabbage, Iceberg Lettuce 50p. Also M Carrots 750g (to be checked to see if there's any within the right weight from A or T). Also M's Broccoli is 50p - however it is 300g whereas A's and T's (from memory) are both 335g - so that 300g is just shy of 2g outside of the 10% weight range:(:(. Sometimes these things glitch but I note the 60p Broccoli in A (which is their 335g one) was returning N/A vs Morries on a womble I had last night. Speaking of Broccoli, the frozen Savers Broccoli (which is comparable from A S/P) 1kg pack - which was 80p many many months ago - is still available at £1 this week (as it has been for many months although I've not succumbed yet to including it on my list).

Also M Button Mushrooms 125g are 50p - but this is also to be checked to see whether it's better value than other sizes of mushroom packs, which it probably isn't.

Weight Watcher 400g meals are on £1.25 now. Including the WW Cottage Pie 400g - last we saw of that was a year or more ago, when T went down below £1.00 on it, it had already gone out of stock in A - and W were well over £2 for it! The 90p (?) became T's standard price. W (supposedly with T price match) still spotted at well over £2. Then W suddenly stopped selling it altogether:rotfl::rotfl:. A price challenge too far?? We'll never know. Maybe it was just coincidental.

I've got lots of changes in the wines area, and also in the cooking sauces area. In fact nearly all of that last area, from my last list, is now crossed out: only the 32p Blue Dragons and the Meena sauces that I didn't get to adding (but which I do now have on the version of the M list I used to check tonight) are still on in that section. More replacement products to add, onto which the offers have moved.

Speaking of moving offers, there was one such offer that's got from one variety of a brand to another, but I can't just place my hands on it at the moment.

Just so you don't get caught out: M's version of SP Fresh Spaghetti 500g - was 19p now 32p! And M's version of SP Tinned Mushy Peas has also seen a price increase - used to be 15p, now 20p. The Flump is to be removed as well:( - it appears that a new colour of packaging, a lighter colour of design, is being introduced which may explain its disappearance from a.com and its possible costing to me of nearly £4:eek::eek::(:(:( when it quite probably does not count as an "item" at the moment.

The JF products on my list (or on a post at the end of the last thread that's now on my own list if not the list I last had on here), which are on 3 for £10 multibuy in A;), are still £3 in M! We now have an end-date: 1st September.

The three entries at the end of my 'Beer/Lager/Alternatives' section in my M list (if we've got the same list) have now all seen price changes. The offers have ended before their 11/8 expiry date - so no more Carribean Twists, John Smith's Extra 10 pack or Carlsberg Citrus 12x275. Replacements TBA.

Vimto Still (500ml) is still... on!:)

The different bogofs on the SP Chocolate Bar equivalents are still ongoing.

The Mullers (the ones that compare) are all still on, as are some perhaps equiv. to Extra Special yogurts (if I can get their varieties to match) and some Activia individuals - all at 34p each.

I'm pleased that the Broad Beans 500g at £1 is still on!:T:T:j
The Tropicana Trop50s are off (doubled in price in M compared to last week) but were too expensive anyway.

There's some special purchase Seafood Sticks that have been bought into M this week, that are quite bigger than the normal ones and may be a good buy on their price (per 100g) - probably one to 'buy in M' as unlikely to be available in A or T.

Finally, I noticed that the 4 pack Muffins - £1.69 bogof last week - in other words 84.5p each when buying two - are now £1.00 in M.
Of course the price offer label says £1.69 crossed out and £1.00 offer. (Avoid!;):rotfl:)

Awww poor QOC. Why don't you get your Boots/Debbies/Body Shop stash out and smell all of them one by one or get someone to spray you senseless with all your favourite fragrances?

Started off at a new gym today. Weighed myself on 2 different scales there and I appear to have lost a whole 10lbs. !!!!!!! I didn't know starving yourself throughout the day and then binging on crisps at night would help me lose weight. I might have to eat crisps again. Not had any in 4 days now. Wooohooo!

The smell is gone now

But yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk :mad:

Go you you need more nutrients than crisps though

I was robbed today by a packet of walkers. 169 cals :mad::mad::mad:

And on that note, I am off to bed, so night folks

Hope things improve for you too :)

Thank you :A
They will the only way is up!!

I need to put all that aside for now anyway. Has anyone else got a child waiting on exam results??? My poor DS1 is a wreck, bless him. He asked me for a hug earlier not a brief 'I'm going out' hug. A proper 'hug me' hug. I hate seeing him so worried but the hug was lovely

What Logie got is still in stock Tessie. Been ages since I looked on BS site and have had to click on the pic of item to get the add to basket bit. Don't remember seeing the email me when back in stock bit on the front pages before.

Remember it could get pulled at any time:eek:

I'm still learning so will probably sound thick! Is the pre order thing on the shelf in like a case like a game box? Do I just take it to the till and pay the £5? If I wanted to buy a few, should I do them separately or together on one receipt? Like maybe 5, do you think T will get funny and not pay the points? And do the points go on there and then or paid to you when the game is released? Sorry for so many questions

I'm trying to find deals to help everyone but not as good as everyone on here! Maybe one day! Havent got my head round the APGs etc just yet, that's a whole different ball park. Starting with coupons... Anyhow today when I went to the T metro cashpoint when you get a printed balance it gives you a £1 sure 45ml deodorant voucher valid until Nov, these normally come up on offer for £1 all the time so free if can find any on an offer before Nov. Hope that contributes a little.

Had quite a trying day so I am off to bed too.

Hope you have a good night shift the late peeps :T:)
