The in branch appointment is a bit of a pain I agree, but I didn't have any problems with the one I opened a couple of years ago.. Although I did close it after the 12 months was up.

Something changed with the process recently as when it last came up for renewal before Christmas they sent renewal information in the post. Filled in a form, sent it back and the account was renewed for another 12 months (final balance of regular saver was transferred into a low interest Save4it or something like that).

I suppose M don't stock this either do they?

Uncle Ben's Sauce Sweet & Sour (675g)


£2.38 35.3p / 100g

£2.15

£2.39

Again. Obviously £1.19 in M:rotfl:. That one has been chosen because there are a number of UB sauces on 84p in M - but only the ones at 500g now meet my price guide on these, any at 84p and 450g are too expensive IMO. All of them however show 450g on msm:(. So, avoid, for APG purposes - unless somehow they are 500g in A and if somehow buying a 500g one appears on the comp as 450g and picks up the price for M (how will that happen, I wonder, if they have 450g in their dataset from msm and then find 500g in M?). Assuming they are 500g in M, it'd be a buy in M (and keep away from most comparison shops). The 675g one is making an appearance on my list because [Strike]it is still cheaper price per unit at £1.19 than 84p on 500g[/Strike] - that can't be right, it is not: I'm going by price per units as stated by M on the offer labelling, giving a cheaper price per unit for the 675g version, meaning the ones labelled as 500g must, instead, be 450g in M and therefore why the price per unit on them is more expensive.

Conclusion: They "must" all be 450g in M. 84p for only 450g is no good IMO, or even 10% off. Therefore...left to you to decide whether 10% off £1.19 for 675g, even if it were to work, would be worth it...

There are a lot of UBs (including 250g packets) at 84p in M. However, just to try to catch you out, it's only ones in the Classic range and not any others. However :eek:84p for 250g is a very high price IMO, given that 250g own brand ones in T earlier at 49p, and even Tildas vs 79p in Waities (250g) - seems to me too high...:rotfl:

I'll add them onto the list for info. as to which ones they are - but to avoid them as they are expensive. There in case the multi goes - £1.58/any 2 for £2 - need a glitch to make them any good price:eek::rotfl:. Avoid "Long Grain & Wild Rice" version as M believed not to stock that - and this is also consistent with msm.co.uk.

On the sauces, though, surely with all the good RTC prices on tins and jars products in M at the moment... why go for prices in excess of £1?:think:

Note, for info., that Garnier Moisture Match creams are available in M - at £1.99, despite not showing any on msm. I'm now saving items, including these, into a special list offline:rotfl: as not favourable pricing at the moment. I'll keep an eye on them (I'll try to:o:o). M known to stock 4 out of 5 versions - believed not to have Light Softening.

And...where is my next item? The Get Fed steak slices at £1. There they are - can you see them?:rotfl::

1L Maxmo Ice Cream - four versions - Cream & Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla & Forest Fruit (presumably) - 60p in M. A near miss, and will be stock permitting. I can see them all on m.com, and therefore msm, very clearly:rotfl::rotfl:.

Also 400g Plums are 69p in M (I doubt they'll compare on the APG) - not quite making it to the list. Same with the 69p 500g fresh brussels sprouts. I'm nearly finished - the "More" points things didn't lead anywhere unfortunately.

And expensive Clover 1Kg, as a filler for Avs W - should have been Avs M at £2. Sorry about that omission. Still expensive:rotfl:.

The Glade Candles have been checked - the ones I found at £2, only one of them turns out to be available in A according to msm and it is the Blackberry Frost one, showing £5:T:T. The expensive Alpen porridge bars were also checked - didn't find any other version in M. Others don't seem to be good comparison (famous last words:rotfl:).

I think that's all that's worth mentioning. There's been a bit of change in M:rotfl:.

Goodbye for now:).

Savvybuyer

That's it, M list now finished. There have been some changes! I think - I'm sure you already know and don't need me to tell you - the easiest way to find the list is, say you click on page 220 something (on 40 posts per page, will be a different number if on a different setting). You should then have the URL address forums.moneysavingexpert.com... and ending in something like "&page=220". Simply click into the web page address there and change the 220 to 38. Then press return. It should take you straight to page 38 - which, if you're on 40 posts per page, is where you'll find the list. I think it's page 75 signed out (which defaults to the default number of posts per page rather than to 40 if you have selected that).

Or, to be ultra-helpful, I can provide links:

Apologies once again to Northern Ireland, as this unavailable to you.

Okay. I suspect that, as usual, we now have more information about M than M's competitors have:rotfl::rotfl::(:rotfl:.

Goodbye!:rotfl::):):wave:
