Morning Elite :wave:

Finally have a week off (as everyone starts to go back to work) I foresee lots of sleep and more cake shenanigans!

This is really good took me a while to realise it was a cake

I bought Rolo and Milkybar ones today Savvy

A v M

1 x Nestle Milkybar White Chocolate Dessert (4x70g) £1.50 N/A
1 x Nestle Rolo Chocolate Dessert (4x70g) £1.50 N/A

ETA DS2 calls these 'yoghurts' because they're in a tub, and tells us yoghurts are healthy

Oh bad luck:( - did you get it down by, wrongly:D, getting an A mbuy offer? Is that 2 for £3:think: - that's not a question! Yes, it was £1 "whilst stocks last" and I suspect there was a stockout in some stores middle of last week, or else maybe they had all the conflicts that I had and therefore couldn't decide any price at all and just went N/A. They do 6 stores I think - so, if it says £2 in three and £1 in three others, what price will they take? I did establish they were £1 but, obviously, the stocks were diminishing - perhaps only to be immediately replenished today and be at £2!:rotfl:

There was another one today - this one where I thought of M: that's not the way for you to play the game! They had equiv. of SP Meatballs in Tomato Sauce tins at 35p 'RTC' (been that for a couple of weeks). Today, there's still a SEL of 35p in one store I saw - but the main one now had 40p. So, it appears they may have been onto a 35p RTC offer, which was unsuccessful at getting them to "clear" but, despite not apparently clearing (I never saw them OOS, but then again I do not check Thursday through to Sunday, so it's just theoretically possible they could have been totally OOS yesterday:rotfl::rotfl: - only for them to be restocked today and the price to be put back to 40p (or maybe it's still 35p who knows?)). Going to have a look at msm's information from m.com on that - and then to make a decision, or a guess:D:cool:.

Then there were the BE what used to be called 'Rice Fusions' (not the new Pastas they are totally separate and not to be confused with the 4 pack Steambags as they are different too) - which, in one store only, went onto 2 for £2 "until 1st February", whilst the other store had them until 28 December and other store useless - doesn't put any mbuy SEL up. The offer ended in the store that had until 28 December, and I assumed it was over. It went to 2 for £3 there - and 2 for £3 in the store that didn't have mbuy SELs on I suspect (none there Monday but they were there by Wednesday). Now, all of a sudden, the store that had 2 for £2 until 1 February has changed the SEL to a 2 for £3 (until whatever date they now are). Just flip the SEL all of a sudden, regardless of what expiry date the previous SEL might have had:(:rotfl::rotfl:. They can pull offers before their original expiry, a bit in my view but nevertheless that's that. They made a brief appearance on the M list, when I noted I felt they wouldn't work, then the next time I think I removed them entirely due to the three separate pricings in the three stores I'd used that time - my judgement being that the offer was now off (and did say, on 24 December collection, until 28 December in the first store, so it was already off I think by the next collection on the Monday 29th).

Anyone receive a mailing today from Boots. £5 off wys £35 and lots of extra points on conditional spends.

Would be handy for the sale but I have points to use:o;):)

Im giving the sale a miss after giving most of what I bought last year away The boots I was in today had a very poor show on 50% off. Wonder if they keep the good stuff back for the scrum?? Lots of Sanctuary, few Joules bits an absolutely no Soap & Glory

Is tomorrow my day off?:D:D Going to spend tomorrow here at home - hopefully not on call to someone else having another emergency:mad::rotfl: - it is my 'relax day' - already planned to be that from the weekend, I knew today was going to be hectic - and Wednesday too(:rotfl:) - it's glitch day on Wednesday isn't it too:D? - which, all along, makes tomorrow my 'rest day' in between - the M list is going to be a little late but will be done probably overnight. Lie-in and then a rest, a plan!:D You'll be envious.

Have to hold my hands up to doing a muggle shop today purely for what I needed. I had no time to sort out a proper list. So no APG was expected. That said I got one for £3.30 only from a very vague idea of things I'd read on here.

I need nothing other than topping up on fresh goods at the moment. Logistics played a part today. I have a £10 PP to spend, Sainsbobs have sent me 6 x £10 off £50, I have £25 of Morries M&M vouchers and I had a few APGs......spoiled for choice :rotfl::rotfl:

Sod's law I wanted to buy cat food in As for the CB on COS and they didn't stock it :mad: :rotfl::rotfl:

I've looked on line and in store and there isn't an awful lot:o.......well not a lot I want ......I've been dipping in and out of the "Not Buying It" thread that hg suggested and it really makes you think.

I picked up 3 bags of spinach in T yesterday for 5p each and realised I would only use one. I put the other 2 back. Waste is waste:o
