The Extra Loveliest Individual's Team Expedition

Savvybuyer

Hi there - M list: not much change this week, in theory at least as that's more about a large number of the items from last week still being valid this week - of course, hundreds of prices obtained on potential items to go newly onto the list.

The 'carryovers' list is already here! But I wouldn't go rushing out [Strike]tomorrow[/Strike] this morning to buy them in A as they need time to filter through into the APG (assuming they ever get there) - ought to be okay though as they are carrying over from last week.

So what's on this week? I won't bother to mention the items that have been take off the list, as they're irrelevant now anyway. I'm also not bothering putting any biscuits onto the M list, quite apart from price increases in M, and I'm considering removing the biscuits that are already on the list. Just...too expensive!!

The main items to mention are the fruit bags in M. Weighing in at quite larger than usual, unless my store is an aberation - Sweet Pears pack at £1.00 is 1kg! Considering a year ago the Conference Pears, before they lost a lot of weight, were 800g at £1.00 (comparable from A for 90p net.), to get 1kg for £1.00 of other pears now is very good. The ones currently on are not comparable from the APG but not to worry as still better, from M itself, even without any 10%. Savers Pears and Savers Apples packs, although price increased (probably a few months ago now - times flies!) from 82p towards the current 89p, they are now nearly 900g each, so again quite a good price.

The ones to catch you out are the Chinese and Indian meals. The Chinese ones are still on 2 for £4.00 (so buy in twos). However, some of the Indian ones are now £2.59 and any 2 for £4.00 whilst other Indian meals are £2 straight. Of course, the £2 ones are also "2 for £4.00" if you buy 2 of them, but I doubt whether buying a £2 one and a £2.59 one would give the mbuy discount in M (let alone from APG or T PP) as the £2 ones are not in the 2 for £4 offer. Nor would I be mixing and matching Chinese and Indian meals. I'd buy two and stick to the ranges i.e. 2x Chinese and 2x Indian that are within the mbuy offer on the Indian meals and maybe add one of the £2 ones. The appropriate mix depending on what you want and which shopping you are doing etc.

Or, as Zippy said earlier, probably now to play safe and buy in twos. But, just so you don't buy a Jalfrezi together with a Tikki Masala and think that one of each of those will make £4 for M...

The 'ins and outs' are visible on the M list right away! The M price makes clear whether it is a £2 item or whether it is 2 for £4 (the Indian ones that are on this 2 for £4 are £2.59 individually). Beware that some may not compare, even if they should. I think the Jalfrezi in A has returned N/A vs M earlier. The A and T prices, of course, may be out of date - they're available to find online anyway until I catch up!

In M, Green Ridge Chardonnay Spring Wine (75cl), which had been £2.55 for as long as I've been tracking its price - this week I have mine on RTC at £1.48!:j

Some of the Oat So Simple products are on £1 in M. Including the one I have on my (now out-of-date) Avs T list at £1.22. Waiting for an mbuy glitch anyway - and T's offer had expired before any materialise so now wait for the right moment, vs M's £1!

I'm glad if there's a new trigger to the 3 for £5. Presumably the Sanex Rich Bath (500ml) product is returning N/A vs M???? Whilst there, having seen some VO5s (at £4.97 each:rotfl: in A) comparing v.good vs an apparent 2 for £5 at T, I obtaineed details of lots of VO5s and similar that on are on 2 for £5 in M. Probably all to no avail, as I see Sainsbobs have 2 for £4 (whether that's an offer or £2 each). There may be a few more options though - but probably not widening too much (vs M) - Herbal Essences in M sadly stuck on full price.

It's because you've managed to buy a number of items that are cheapest in M. Thanks for (inadvertently?) confirming the APG as comparing to Morries on the Ready Salted and the Cheese & Onion version of Walkers crisps.

The following look potentially v.good A vs M: 1 pack of Walkers Ready Salted Crisps (6) and 1 pack of Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps (6) - I have both on 'half price' cashback on Msl. £1.68:T each in A vs 99p each for M. There is also Walkers Crinkle Variety crisps (6) also on half price Msl, but sadly the Crinkles in M appear to have increased back up in price. Perhaps helpfully though - in two sep. offers in A (3 for £4 on the 'classic' packs and 2 for £3 on the Crinkles and manages to miss both of them:j to get full prices for the half prices back, if they pay out! If you can get 1x Ready Salted 6 and 1x Salt & Vinegar 6, and also find a trigger to that offer, it may be very good?)

May be time to get the 20p Campbells MOCs out again:). Campbells Condensed soup tins (but *not* Vegetable) are on 50p in M "until 13/10/13". Cream of Mushroom, Low Fat Mushroom, Cream of Celery and Cream of Chicken (I do *not* have Low Fat Chicken) - also Cream of Tomato but appears to be Cream of Tomato Limited Edition (a different style of pack but same weight and same flavour/use etc.) - SEL in M did not contain the "Limited Edition" words on it though - so probably Cream of Tomato as well. Some of this range of product has been N/A return on the APG months ago. Can any confirmations be got as to what (if any) are comparing vs M at 50p?

Muller Rice 6 packs and Corner 6 packs are on £1.94 (until 6/10 it appears) - Raspberry & Apple multifruit pack, Crunch Corner, Fruit Corner, Biscuit Corner, and the 3xStrawberry Cheesecake, 3xLemon Cheesecake 6 pack.

Also - the following may be a 'buy in M' as appears OOS elsewhere and may be different pack sizes (larger pack size!) in M - new items Upper Crust 2 Steak Slices and Upper Crust 2 Cheese & Onion Slices, 326g, at £1.00 (until 20/10).

And I thought my carryovers were done?

Evening everybody,

Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise 800g
Buy 2 for £1.50
Price Promotion Quantity and add to trolley
£3.60/unit
£0.45/100g

This was mentioned this morning. I wondered if anybody has tested on an apg, pp, or in Sainsburys .... Shows on s.com as well as msm.

This is a very good offer:T:T. Another item therefore to be deleted from the M list. So buy in twos in A (max. 10) at £6.00 for 2 vs any 2 for £1.50. It appears from msm that Sains. want to charge you £3.60 for one, but less than half the price of that if you take two:rotfl::rotfl:. (Sains.co.uk currently offline so can't currently confirm on sains.co.uk what msm is saying. Should be okay on APG as that is on msm, but as for T PP...and with sains.co.uk now being temporarily off - :think::question:)

Also, finally, lots of new items to add (prices permitting) onto the list later in the week (would add them now if I didn't have RL!). Will have to bid you farewell for now.

So long!!:):):A:wave:

Night all. Busy day for me tomorrow, new bed for the guest room is arriving, housework and stash sorting. Need to play Tetris to make a bit of space. DS1 needs stocking up so will do up a goody box for him.

I work part time, lots of time to get glitches when the lurker's probably at work.;) Obviously a newbie:p doesn't know about dtd, or how rewarding a whoopsie shop can be, just happy to fill his trolley, greedily clear the shelves and spoil things for everyone else by bringing it to T's attention.:eek:
I managed to get £167.08 worth of stuff tonight for £28.12:j:rotfl:
I was late in on the cookies, finished work at 6pm, had to go to T's for bread, so logged in on the off chance when I got to the car park. Sooo glad I did.
Keep an eye out for silverside joints of beef, pork shoulder and pork leg joints all with new sels for half price, and full price stock on the shelves.;)
I came out on a high, (you all know the feeling:D) and I shared the cookie glitch with a family I met in the car park when the hubby asked what I was doing with so many cookies. I explained and waited while the wife went in and tried it. It worked for her, and they were delighted. I shared the love you might say, and that felt good too.
I forgot to say thank you earlier to the op of the cookie glitch, so thanks so much for sharing.

It was fixed when I tried it in my store at 5pm. Not really too upset as i don't like cookies,but wanted to get a few packets to take for daughter and her flatmates at uni. My store always fix glitches early. I reckon one of the managers lurks on this thread.

@ points you towards the tcb / policy expert promo for the contents insurance, if it's still running.

£60,000 contents for £60 and £70 TCB pending.

I did AA home & contents insurance in Jan this year, through TCB, should have got £38 cashback, but nothing. AA say it is nothing to do with them, and TCB.................. are looking into it, for 9 months it seems. :mad::mad:

Wow what a brilliant day for everyone! Well done :j

The gods are looking out for me (I think). 9.30 am tried to log on -powersurge adapter that has all computer stuff plugged in went pfft - blue sparks and everything. Couldn't pull stuff out of the way on my own to plug new one in. So hubby did when he came home this evening. Caught up on tablet til 9.50am. Missed glitch by 10 mins or so - but am telling myself that's a good thing as today will be another 5;2 day, but I've learnt from BNI glitch to watch what else I eat in the week. Glad to see you survived your last fast day QoC.

Squills I am also glad because truly there is no room anywhere..... I think this is where your OH coming from. But I'm sure she really does appreciate the bargains you get... you are always quick on the draw.

:T Ha ha choirchick glad to see you have found your glitch mojo - I had been logging on this am to send out call for you and lutzil as not seen you posting. Can't get to see you tonight I'm afraid but hope it all goes well.


So back on line and caught up. Blooming cats - last night was rescuing a baby mouse at 2.30 am in hall. (I am getting very good at this) but tonight was a bird - so not sure where they found bird at 2 in the morning! So one shell shocked bird rescued (twice), and only after having to go in son's room and turn light on to get her from out under his bed (waking him) and running upstairs and downstairs that's my exercise for the day. Anyhow its safely outside and has flown off into the ivy. Must remember to lock them in earlier now dark nights before I fall asleep on sofa . Its the bringing them in live .... - I am constantly washing tea towels after catching them and setting them free - hey ho. I've had cats for last 30 years but these two take the biscuit for catching stuff.

NB For anyone else with cats that do this - if you have a dyson check before you turn on. We have found two in there hiding in the beater bar after escaping from cats. :cool:

So here's to tomorrow/today and happy glitching peeps :T
