Take another look... although I will confess, TM did make me double check my post :rotfl:

The original post us unedited, just for your information

The challenge is 56 yoghurts for £5.

Can you beat it ?

:hello:I've been away for a short while tonight (trying to avoid my obsessive behaviour with the Elite threads from taking over my life:D) but just popping back as thank goodness I've recalled that SP Vinegar (568ml) of course continues to be A 21p vs M 21p. I added SP Cheese & Onion Pasty to the M list (page 90 if you are on forty posts per page) earlier today after waking up and remembering it:rotfl::D. (Whether the Cheese/Onion Pasty will go right, as this thing didn't vs M last time I tried, but did vs T, is anyone's guess - unless you have a result for it on a womble or on one of your shops, hopefully vs T at same 30p as M. A 36p.)

56 yog(h)urts for £5.00!:eek: That's about 8.92857 pence each:eek::eek::rotfl:. They are more expensive than the usual Mullers when they were mbuy glitch plus vs 30p each elsewhere, didn't they work out at something like either two pence each or each paying you two pence to take them away?;)

Joking apart, you can have a bonus point (but sadly points make neither prizes nor pennies or pounds) from me as it was a mistake by me (a rare mistake!:D:D;)) to have missed the Activia 8 pack yog(h)urts in M. I think, if I even saw that £1.50 price on them, I just went :eek: at such expensive prices of well over £1. Nor can I say, unfortunately, which of the 8 pack Activias M stocks (I've doubtless not been able to catch up with posts of results on the thread) as I never had them in any of my M collections ever (in the nearly two years, and nearly a year on here, when I was doing those collections).

Perhaps they stock all five (that are on msm for T). Or probably more likely they have 4 of them and not the Strawberry & Raspberry. I think I've seen Apricot, Kiwi & Strawberry in M and Pineapple Peach & Mango. Couldn't vouch for the Rhubarb Prune & Cranberry (or indeed the A/K/S or P/P/M!:rotfl:) though. It's probably the four variety versions, but not the Strawberry/Raspberry. Doubtless someone will have something that's news to me. Noticed I have got my 24 fans:A thanking me for the M memorisation list (the same number as the huge detailed collection lists I used to be able to do), so it's still quite a good list as it stands don't you think?

Alright, time for an attempt at an earlier night (I think I'm running ahead of some offers at the moment, so trying for a shop at breakfast-time tomorrow, may involve some detergent at a very good price I hope, below 10p/wash perhaps, more to be revealed later! - probably not news to all you lot though:rotfl:) and, so, goodnight!!:):wave::wave:

I got no reply from Martin to my request/pm so thought it had been ignored. Fab news though:j:j

I think it might be my fault there is a link to here as I put a link to here in my pm.

SAD LOSS OF A MEMBER

Hi,
I am hoping you or someone in mse towers reads your messages because I would like you to see what has been done for one of your members and if possible for you to put something in your weekly email in rememberance of them and acknowledgement of what I feel is the spirit of mse, not just money saving but a community.

A long term member and contributor to mse madmuppet5 http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/member.php?u=559103 passed away on wednesday night this week. He touched a lot of members lives with his humour and posts, first of all mainly on the coupon thread then on another thread called the elite. I was lucky enough to know him in real life, we met through mse and I luckily called him a friend. His friends from mse set up a just giving page which so far has raised £1400 for cancer research, the majority of that raised in the first 24 hours and all contributed by mse members. A fund has also been set up for some flowers which has topped £200 as well.

Last year he himself raised money for leukemia in the name of his 14 year old niece who died, making a dreadful record, but he raised over £680.

Here is a link to a page which was set up with the details about him http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...19&postcount=2.

Please could you consider putting some kind of acknowledgement of him and what has been done in his name in the newsletter for all to see.

Thanks

50 year old Glenfiddich at F&M £13,000 per bottle
