    No, there's still a few more:(:rotfl:.

    I have Bisto Stock Melts at 72p in M rather than 69p as shown on msm.co.uk. Let's go with... msm.co.uk is wrong. (Sadly, maybe, as would be a little better of course if it were 69p. And maybe it is! Do we think msm.co.uk is wrong? Or that the shelf price in my M is wrong? It will not be Savvy being wrong, as Savvy is almost always correct:D. Yet, despite this pricing on the Bisto Stock Melts, the Bisto the "Best" granules are still cheaper in M by weight than the Stock Melts are, yet do not make my list!)

    I have this as 190g in M:

    Taste Inc. Quarter Pounder with Cheese (198g)

    Store_8.15px.png
    £1.00 50.5p / 100g
    Valid until 28/12/2014


    It clearly is 190g, as that's what is printed on the package I examined:D. How can it be a quarter pounder if it is 190g?!?:eek::eek:_pale_:rotfl:

    There are still yet more checks to be made! I'm trying to confirm (once I get to this stage soon) whether a Baylis & Harding gift set that I have at £2.25 is a Lip Balm as stated on msm (at £8 in A:rotfl:) or whether it is a Body & Lip Balm as stated on the shelving in M and, if so, whether it is the same one I saw in M or not. Probably not (due to the huge difference in price)? Need to see the picture, not on msm, but need to go to a.com for that! I'll get there, need to stop writing this I suspect!

    More checks to be done. Doubtless you have to be a bit autistic to be able to produce updating to a list like that:rotfl:.

    Savvy I want to take the time to say how much I love your posts. I don't always follow as much of the larger ones as I'd like but the information I do manage to take in is week/budget changing!
    So just a bigger thank you than the Thank You button can provide :D

    :j

    I've just 'bookmarked' the Morrisons Chilli Cheese Pasta Bake there in case I forgot. I notice how the Homepride Tomato Garlic & Chilli got replaced, on the M side, in the msm basket with M's Tomato & Chilli Pasta Sauce at more expensive than 79p. So, that - you'd never know!!

    I note no M Chilli Cheese Pasta Bake on msm:D and, :j get in there!:j:beer:, I've found A CBY Chilli Cheese Pasta Bake and thus been able to include it. I do get a buzz from finding things like that. (:rotfl::rotfl::money:Woo-hoo!)

    Bit overdramatic maybe! Hardly "moneysaving" as getting 5g less:eek: than the Homeprides (_pale__pale_). But - I've put it on, and hence why it's located after the list of Homeprides as list often in order of best price per unit first. Of course, none of this on at all yet:rotfl: (awaiting price update on the APG!).;):cool::)

    Happy Days!

    A few months ago Argozzz were selling Pokemon Black and White for the DS for £7 the trade in at Game when price matched to CEX was £13. So I bought 30 or so copies and over the following weeks traded them in (Max trade in 3 of the same game in any one go) So after about a month I had spent £210 and now had £390... I bought around £90 worth of games that I managed to sell for around £90 cash because they were limited edition items such as the latest pokemon's in steal book edition. (actual total spend here was much less around £40 - £50) Today I used the remainder of that credit & £18 to buy myself the best PS4 deal at the moment from Game with Last of Us download & Little Big Planet 3 cost today was £18 in cash, I've also been given £6 reward points for this purchase.

    So total RRP for the console without this offer would be around £400. I got the bundle for £300. Based on the money made from trade in it's probably only cost me around £160. Happy Days!

    Definitely a 'Glitch type' thing to look out for in the future. As I know the Pokemon doesn't trade in at that cost at CEX anymore due to the sheer amount of people who did this at the time.
    How did you find out about these cheap games, did you just come across them?
    I Hate Jobsworths!!!

    Watch the Copella Juices (the 1.25L version - sure, wasn't that 1.35L some time ago and, back then, £1.35 in M?:think:... anyway...) - £2.98 and 2 for £3.00 in A. English Apple Juice - is that the only one they have in A? - is £1.39 in M.

    Really, just that one in A?:think: If not, maybe Apple and one other vs M? (But, not just yet, need to wait till update.) I have Apple, Apple & Elderflower, Smooth Orange and Orange Juice Bits in M. But, if only Apple on msm, then only that one would appear.

    Might add it onto the list - I'll think about it!
    I've just to check the B&H gift thing, otherwise, all now done!
