Hi there - not caught up, I was around earlier in the day but had to go off and do RL so didn't get to popping in and replying to what I wanted to reply to (:eek::eek:that's a threat from me to go back and reply to all that's gone now:eek:) - there's things I could have done before 5b but didn't and can't be done today now but that's another story.

I'm just seeing a spreadsheet of SP items appearing. Totally wrong btw as regards a lot of items showing N for M:rotfl:. I'll quote it and highlight all the missing M prices.

Sains. BM didn't quite work just now for me. It gave £9.25 instead of £10, so 75p less than what it 'should' have done. I broke the cap by 46p:eek:, so actually lost £1.21.

:rotfl:I rang them earlier about £10 worth of points that they had credited twice, and they told me to keep them too. (You may remember last time I had £15 worth of points more, but managed to reduce that to £13 by not bothering with a non-compare on some Young's Lighted Coated Fillets £4 vs £2.) I had another £4 off £20 cond.spend, so I did use last time's £10 BM plus the Nectar points and £4 off an exact £20 shop. Was thinking I could just go £10 BM and £10 points, but then the cond.spend off thwarts that:rotfl:. "Not happy" that it was £4 off and not £5 - of course I can only spend in £2.50 amounts - so having to give them £1 cash:eek::rotfl:. Really not the way.

But it would be either that or doing a £21.50 shop (£10 BM + £7.50 points + £4 cond spend) and then getting only the same BM back, in theory. I shouldn't have been so successful with my BM last time:rotfl:. But then that's spending £2.50 more (albeit in points) rather than £1 cash. Spend £1 cash or £2.50 points?

I chose to keep those £2.50 points, although I never see them, in real money, and they're always with them aren't they?:(:rotfl:

As to the BM "shortfall", I reckon it's this:

http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml?cmpid=ahc-_-ghs-sna1-_-asdacom-dsk-_-hp#/search/quorn%20bbq%20chicken%20fillets%202%20166g

They call them just "Quorn BBQ Fillets" on sains.co.uk rather than "Chicken Fillets" - not that sains.co.uk descriptions have anything to do with BM, I don't know, although they do seem to me to have some bearing perhaps.

I wonder if my Drumstick Lolly compared to the huge lolly in A:rotfl:.

:(I see that that is now 33p:eek: - I thought was 25p last time I saw it (when T PP was shown to compare against it). So that's probably lost me 25p, plus the difference on the Quorn £1.02. £1.27, not quite. Wonder what it is then? Probably me calculating my excess of the cap incorrectly:rotfl:.

It does seem maybe avoid the 10p Swizzels Drumstick Lolly if doing a BM shop.

Oh well - I'll just spend less next time:rotfl::rotfl::j:rotfl:.

That would be good as I could only go from what MSM showed as don't have any actual receipts to check

Good evening:wave:

Thanks for all the birthday wishes:)

I've just been trying to find a post from last year regarding the 90% off Xmas related bits & bobs in Clintons Cards that I put on the Xmas bargain thread last year... It appears it was the 7th January and all the cards were 3 for £1...

Worth bobbing in if you are near one to check, I bought all my personalised cards then:) and the teachers gifts that the monkeys gave out before the holidays:T

Might have a wander tomorrow:)

%May compare to M at 20p on the APG occasionally (I've no idea what this S/P list is for btw:rotfl, if they pick up the 40p price on the 1L version in M and link it to the 500ml SP one. It has been known to happen. I haven't seen it happening for a while now, but it has happened at least two or three times.

) M's version, and indeed T's, is non-comparable for a technical reason.

*Maybe, maybe not. Last seen in only one store two weeks ago:rotfl:, may be M have stopped producing their version (how can we ever tell?:rotfl::rotfl::()

+0.29 in M but, as far as I'm aware, this has not been comparing on the APG for several months.

^Note T price to be adjusted downwards (T slightly larger size).

&Note this one seems risky on the APG - maybe Cream of Chicken vs Chicken - some Ms appear to no longer stock this version (like the store in Buxton, Derbyshire nowhere near where I live (oops, narrowing it down:rotfl:) did not stock Savers Veg Soup two years ago:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. APG returning N/A although my stores had it. NB: I haven't seen any suggestion that Buxton has ever been a price collection store - I just happened to be there for the day.)

£Called "Pasta Twists" in M but have been seen comparing from A's SP Pasta Shapes.

$M are not "New" Potatoes but they have been comparing on the APG more recently.

+M may be discontinuing - I have stock now in only one store and it appears to be diminishing each time. I think tomorrow is the final check for this before, if I see no stock, I will remove it from the M list.

I'm running out of symbols:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Some, where M is not the absolute best price to compare against, I have no information about the M price as I don't bother with these items and no intention of checking every one of them tomorrow:rotfl:.

Most importantly - what's happened to SP Cola?:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

I used to have a list that I tried to keep updated with comparisons for 'fillers'. During this afternoon someone asked if their was a list of fillers which reminded me of my list I used to have (at that time I didn't try to share it). Anyway I had a couple of hours to spare at work this afternoon so tried to create a basic list. However its becoming clear why I never bothered to share my list originally because I don't have the time to keep on top of it to be really useful and accurate. I've added some of your Morries updates to my listing. I'm not redoing the ones you had coding for because its getting too involved. So I'll have to leave them as unknowns in black. I've put the known ones in red (well I'm working on it). Unfortunately I don't have the know how or time to make this list useful to everyone but I originally thought others could copy and paste it to make it useful to individuals. Its not practical to carry a list around of all possible fillers. For my own use I will probably add some of the veg when I get some actual confirmed results. I'm happy to email my spreadsheet basis to anyone who wants to use as a base to customise
