    I was thinking Danio and not Danone. So close yet so far!!

    The Danio 0% yogurts are 50p in M (which is best price of the stores at the mo.). 85p/Any 3 for £2 in A. Versions TBA very soon, as I'll go and sort out the confirmations on the Activias (Danone Activias) that we now have and put the Danio 0% yogs onto the M list.

    Mullers listed on there are somewhat out of date list - I have what should be compared vs M but I haven't a clue which Mullers exactly are or are not comparing on the APG to M this week.

    [Edit: Danio 50ps in M are until 1st September.]


    As regards the companies, we're absolutely not interested in that for APG (or T PP or Sains BM) purposes, we're only interested (as far as non-own labels are concerned) in whether the products, the brands are the same. (And the products themselves, of the same brand at both your store and the competitor, being within relevant weight ranges or exactly the same size, depending on whose price scheme we are using.)

    It doesn't matter a jot if the products are made by the same companies. Rustlers and Feasters in T and A are the same company (and possibly even the same product inside the packs). But the brand name is different and therefore they do not compare to each other. Rustlers would only be compared at A if they stocked it (i.e. making it possible for you to buy it to include it on your comparison in first place) and if it were also Rustlers in T (or S etc.) of the same flavour and within weight etc. A have Feasters. Feasters is not stocked elsewhere. It's irrelevant who makes them. (I suspect some of the SP, value or standard range own labels are made by 'brand-name' companies for the supermarkets, in the same factories etc.)

    For all smokers get a vaper kit they cost about £50 but i was smoking 30+ a day and now am only on about 5 or 6 and thats only because am stressed atm but went a week without one and i sure felt the difference and still do so as of Monday am not smoking. ( dont buy the one that look like a ciggy they are crap) the liquid costs £9 and it lasts me a week but i use it a lot so depends how much u puff. I use the ice menthol but u can get all different tastes, have tried the normal but found it discusting the menthol still gives you that feel that u have had a smoke hth

    Well done, keep going you can do it!

    Which leads me onto...
    I know I've been a bit late in adding items to the M list this time. After eight months of collecting prices at least weekly* and updating the details, even I have now become a bit weary in my interest.

    I've already thought that, as this week wasn't a big week for a lot of new items and changes and the new offers that did go on will most probably continue to be available beyond this weekend, it wouldn't be too much impact if I just did it as and when. And the big updating from last week is already on there anyway.

    So, finally after eight months, I became a little weary of the laborious (but not monotonous) updating, a significant proportion of which still lies ahead. But don't worry, after a brief break and move onto my other specialist interest of the moment (that specialist topic being Asperger's Syndrome itself) - did a bit more Googling on that last night:rotfl: - soon I'll be an expert:) - I'll soon be reinvigorated next week for a price collection and some more updating!!:D

    Don't call it slacking Zippy, it's not!:) It's a thorough completion of the task...in my own time. And it'll still leave good time for everyone don't worry!!!:):)

    [Edit: *In actual fact, correction: I've been collecting M prices for much longer - about one and a half years: on one or two occasions, only of a few items I needed although usually collecting details of more possible ones that I might buy the following day or weekend (not as great a number of items as I now get details of though!)]
    if you did change the way you done it, it would be fine. as long as you have a '' last updated'' on there peeps would know the chance they took.
    also I don't think you've ever slacked savvy, that was tongue in cheek :)

    you need time for R.L. as well as us mate.
    edit, last updated appears anyway, if updated. but would peeps notice it? that is the question.

    Being an expert on oneself :eek: that sounds on the edge of scary!!! I never want to find out what makes me tick :D:p:o

    It's not oneself - it'd be an expert understanding of autism, Asperger's etc., which affects its 'sufferers' differently and further my understanding of how it affects me.

    (Of course pedantic soul here shouldn't be writing "Asperger's" any more as it technically doesn't exist, in much the same sense as Pluto is no longer a major planet. As such, I think I'll cease calling it Asperger's from now on and call it "autism" instead. Or "Autism" if it is put at the beginning of a sentence:rotfl::rotfl:. That of course depends on whether "autism", as previously defined, meant "autism" (i.e. classic Kanner autism), or whether it meant "autism including Asperger('s) syndrome", as was.)

    BTW,

    I'm autistic!:j:j

    Woo hoo... Yes!! I've won the lucky draw! He he he...:):)

    (I suppose I must stress I'm only talking this way because of the type or effect of the autism I have. I certainly wouldn't be 'jump around' if I were severely autistic, in the sense of classic Kanner autism.)

    Shame you are not venturing this way, as BQ said last night....would have been nice to have a coffee :)

    Have you told the kids yet? I used to love the excitement of the kids when they were little waiting to go on holiday :):) (not DS2, he just needs lots of notice)

    REMEMBER!! lots of photos :D (memories)

    Savvy, this is a huge undertaking you have been doing for a long time. I'm sure most folks would not expect you to go to so much trouble every week.

    You are definitely not a slacker .

    The big Morrison offers are available every week on their website, so folk won't miss out. And a lot of info is added here every week through wombles and APG lists.

    So please go easy on yourself. No one will give you a hard time.

    Personally I enjoy your other posts. You have a wicked sense of humour and enjoy a good banter with the others clearly xxx

    :):)

    I once had a health professional be pedantic with me about 'labelling'. He asked if DS2 had a diagnosis of autism or autistic spectrum disorder. I answered honestly that I had seen his diagnosis referred to as both and I wasn't aware that there was a difference. A heated conversation followed that my appointment time had been taken up with a labelling debate :mad::mad:

    I do believe that diagnosis of Aspergers Syndrome are still being made. I have also read recently that ' at the high functioning end of the syndrome' is a term that is being used more often. :)
