I was trying to find a picture that was on my DDs FB but can't find it, it basically looked like a lump of raw steak stuck on his ankle :eek:

Right, do you want the bad news?

The Nuts About Caramel that I found at 50p in my first store - that's the only M in which I've seen it! Not available at all in any of the other three stores today - not even any evidence of SELs but no stock but completely no presence whatsoever. So, it may be that 10% off 99p was the best you could get from A. We could find that it compares against 50p for M; however I reckon it is likely now to go N/A. It's not as if there is any consistent price and stock now, unlike there was last Wednesday - and, if I were deciding whether or not to buy from today's situation, I wouldn't risk it anymore.

I may as well do the whole price collection twice:mad::mad::rotfl: - turns out to be several offers of which I was completely unaware from my first store. The first store hadn't even got the main offer (the worse of the two:D) showing on the Robinsons 1L juices. I did have a look around - but I'm sure there's stuff I would have missed!

The Quorn frozen meals that were on, are apparently still on. What they've done is change the SELs to full price - I refer to the smaller tickets, which have the barcodes on, as being the "SELs" - but there is offer labelling (bigger signs) in my second store (and fourth) showing the offer prices (including £1.40 on 500g Quorn Mince) as on until 22nd March. It's getting like msm, where the mbuys disappear in the morning and then they decide they're going to continue the offer after all:rotfl:. No idea how T PP price collectors might deal with this - I suspect they might compare to full price:eek:. The third store btw, in case you are wondering, was unclear - full price SELs in the aisle and no pricing for the Quorn item they had on the freezer ends, but fact it is in the freezer end, with the offer stuff, suggested it was on half price offer. That's too intuitive for price collectors to pick up though:rotfl:.

Based on this, I think the frozen Quorn meals, on both TPP and APG, are dodgy this time - give M a chance to settle down and decide what its pricing it is going to be I would say. The Quorn fresh meals are also still on - I did eventually find those!:mad:(:rotfl:I love it really!)

I also found a specific Häagen Dazs 500ml at 50p. And even had stock in the one M in which I found it - shows how risky it may be as only in one out of four stores I've checked. All the other Häagen Dazs at £4:rotfl:, and then that one at 50p.

But, oh look - msm.co.uk:D:

Häagen-Dazs Pralines & Cream Ice Cream (500ml)



[Strike]£4.45[/Strike] £2.47 49.4p / 100ml

50p

No guide. We'd be "laughing" if M prices were taken from msm.co.uk. But they are not - and there's a delay until the collection info. gets updated, so this is no guide. I'll put everything onto the M list though, fwiw, as what I've found.

I've decided that it is impossible to find out the entire range of branded ice creams that M currently have on the better offers (50p, 99p and £1 pricing) by visiting a sample of stores. (:rotfl:That's how TPP does its collections, and indeed the APG. TPP is collected at three stores, twice a week. I've done more than them!:D:rotfl::rotfl:.) I have completely different ice creams, or a completely different one, in each store and no consistency. I'll collate together what I've got, but I don't think they'll pick them all up in APG/TPP collections. For example, the Nuts about Caramel at 50p was in one of my main stores but, it seems to me, of a type that's unlikely to be a price collection store. And I did have another brand at £1 in one store but the other store had not changed their £3.50:eek: label on that - and not available in any of the two other stores - not available in A anyway so that doesn't matter but instead one of those stores had another one at £1, that I didn't find anywhere else. And of course all of my stores are in roughly the same part of the country.

I think if someone really does go for branded ice creams, and is just using a womble, maybe you'd just pick up a load of different branded ones and see what, if any, compare vs M - treating it as a bonus if it gives any APG. Or maybe keep an eye out on wombles for branded ice creams all this week - as likely to find some that may be showing good comparisons vs M. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the Milky Bar minis that compared £2.50 vs £1 early last week - I'll keep them on the list though as may still work, but they are going out from M all the time and changing round in various stores and surely this is in a state of flux on all of them on the APG.

However, elsewhere, you now how my stores don't have a wide range of world foods items. Well, today - a whole new section in my second store has opened up and my eyes been opened as to a wider range available in M. I've even now got the Rajah Bay Leaves that did compare on the APG against M last summer:D, that weren't in my stores and I could not find in supposed price collection store Wrexham - bet they check Leamington Spa:laugh:. A new section - more items to see, not necessarily any good:rotfl: - which means I'll have loads more carryovers every time now as none of the range in my first store:(:rotfl:.

Second store told me of a lot more items on offers than the first:(. Third store, on my route to the fourth, was pretty useless. But - fourth store - I love you!:D Actually got the Aunt Bessie's Toffee Apple Pie at £1 that none of the others had, that I thought I wouldn't find at all today as only found it in a small store last time. So, I did find it - probably won't work though as only in 1 out of 4 stores:rotfl:. I'm struggling btw on the equiv. of the Eday Carrots 1Kg pack as I couldn't find this again today and not seen it now for about two weeks. It's probably still in M and probably selling out before I get there as it is the cheaper range - but can't find it - and, if there are no SELs either left behind then maybe it never gets scanned and picked up on TPP anyway?:think:

I'm deleting the Double Edged Blades from Tvs M, and also the Blue Plasters. I did find some plasters now, that are blue in colour but the label says "Washproof Plasters" and the price for those is 95p:eek:. Perhaps they are the same as they always were - I didn't note the colour of those last week as price of 95p no good anyway. (Blue Plasters 50p.) However, no sign at all of the "Blue Plasters", which are described as that on the packs - plenty of stock in the stores in which I found them last time but now, nothing at all! Strange how some items just completely disappear.

Meanwhile, the S/P Red Kidney Beans tins may be going to go N/A. Not that that matters too much as 10% is hardly great and A is still 23p. But, now, even though still showing on msm (and I presume therefore m.com), I have complete blank spaces and no stock in all of the Ms I've seen. I don't think it's necessarily a local stock-out as one of the stores, at least, should get its distribution from a different place to the others - I have errant SEL in one store, but no stock and I doubt many errant SELs across the country so I reckon they may go totally N/A. However, I don't have equiv. of S/P Lemon Curd in any of my stores and yet they still compared on the APG months after all mine stopped stocking them so, genuinely again, I have no idea.

Finally, the M Salted Pretzel Sticks, if you can find them, have now gone to 20p.

Lots of other bits and things also to update on the list!
