    Get your Vagisil cream on again!:D (Onto one of your lists Savvy:rotfl::rotfl:).

    Just seeing one of my emails - looks like it's mainly items that have "lowered":D in price in Sains. The Vagisil is back at £2.67. Also Ace Gentle Stain Remover 1L back at £1 - may be an internal error on the APG system so looks like they may be Tvs S. Dishmatic Fill & Clean Sponge & Scourer £1 (but Minky version has been lowered price in M before) - and is it really worth it for, in effect, just one sponge scourer plus a bit of plastic?

    Food Doctor Multi-Seed (believe it - these are not intentionally rude things - oops, drawing attention now to something that didn't even suggest such a connotation:rotfl:) at 67p in S. (Do T still have this and therefore Tvs S?) Bic Razors I see (Avs S?). Green's Quick Gels allegedly cheaper in A. Lu Mikado - got two on my email at £1 S but Chocolate version is 69p in M (Avs M?) but these are always low weighted items aren't they?:(

    Got some fresh bakery that's reminded me the 2 pack Eccles cakes are on offer in M - maybe Tvs M there - not sure if the M price is any good though.

    Cos I mention the Vagisil cream at this time of day! The 9pm watershed does not apply to the Internet (nor could it ever do so in my view). I thought I would, quite deliberately, post this at teatime:D:D. No - I just did it because I only saw my email a few moments ago. But - why not? (Strikes me as very strange this supposed discomfort that people have over some things at lunch or tea-time, just can't understand it from my POV - yet they're perfectly okay hearing the exact same thing at another time of day?:huh: - seems totally illogical to me.)

    Lowered in price. I didn't want to say "gone down":o:o:rotfl::rotfl:. :naughty:

    For all of the newbies on elite, here is a prime example of an old hand making a complete cakehole of it all.

    [...]

    Just put the original receipt through the APG machine and you can see what a mess it is - I rely on mysuperlist too much and it always lies to me.

    Mys said Dove was not stocked by Morrisons so it was safe to go on a comparison list - wrong.
    MYs said Morrisons don't stock kingsmill - wrong



    1 x Dove Cream Wash (250ml) £1.00 £2.20
    1 x Robinsons Fruit & Barley, Orange Squash with No Ad... £1.00 £1.00
    1 x McVitie's Jaffa Cakes (12) £1.00 £1.00
    1 x Kingsmill Medium Sliced Soft White Bread (800g) £1.00 £1.35
    1 x Copella Cloudy Apple Juice (750ml) £1.98 £1.00
    1 x Cadbury Twirl Twin Bars (4 per pack - 136g) £1.79 £1.00
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Italian Three Cheese & Tomato P... £2.00 N/A
    1 x ASDA Extra Special Coleslaw (300g) £0.80 £1.00
    1 x Coca Cola Zero (8x330ml) £2.64 £2.64

    So I've been around again, got the pizza this time and the free choc bar and the wretched Dove wash yet again :(

    Just have to wait and see if the forthcoming APG balances things out

    Yeah they (M) do stock Kingsmill. And that Dove is also stocked in M too. I think you may have got the wrong size for a Morries comp. Not that the bigger size of Dove is very good value in M at all.

    Btw, the only things I've ever suggest getting vs M and hoping for N/A (apart from ones which are already proven to return N/A on the APG) are those few N/As listed on my list. I've always been wary over trying items against N/A in Morries as even if they're aren't in my M store(s) - or if they are but I haven't noticed them:o - they might well be available in some of the stores the APG uses and at a much higher price than A. So if anything has made it to vs M at N/A on my list, I've already had to be very much more sure of it not comparing before I'd put it onto there.

    [Edit:] This is talking about those items N/A from my instore price collections and leaving alone what msm.co.uk or msl might or might not say.

    Sometimes I have to do the opposite. Say only part of a range is available in my M - I'm then trying to guess at and imply into it that others in the range, even if not available in my store, might also be offer to go onto Avs M. This is done by looking at msm but very carefully and with thought about whether or not it will be correct, from APG results and from 'educated guesswork' (well, it's a bit more than merely just 'guesswork' - it's something somewhat beyond that). Sometimes it's known, or the thought I get implied is, that only a specific version is on offer and the others are not. Don't ask how I work this out - it's very mysterious;):D;).

    Another good place to feed the sparrows is at the service station just before you get off at junction 39 for Penrith - we put tiny bit of bread onto the wing mirrors and they came in and scooped them all up and they would even feed out of your hand
