    It's good isn't it - all these debatings over words?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    They're the same thing Savvy!:o:o:D:rotfl:

    Brings me to I may as well mention that the Thornton's Easter Egg (not that's it's very good - see Cadbury's on 4 for '2' in T and then £3 COS from earlier OP) turns out to be called "...Miss Flutterby..." in M, even though the SEL describes it as "...Butterfly...". The one in M is 149g (something like that), so maybe if the 149g (approx.) Miss Flutterby one is avail. in A - not the 120g showing on msm - perhaps it's a trigger to the 2 for £5 fwiw. Chocolate Football and Hopalot Bramble Bunny White Choc. each available in M at £2.50, they are the same in M there as on msm for A, not that they will compare.

    PD I definitely remember seeing those books in one of our favourite Ts.

    I took a picture of the 'little miss dotty' book :rotfl:

    This was ages ago though.

    I still have that picture too ;)

    Done that - still not worked. Probably just stuck in the system. May have to put it down to experience - typical, one of my best Morries shops if it worked - and typical I see now the APG shows the Frosties cereal bar I bought as comparing to £1 M, so it would work (if only I could retrieve the result:().

    last week it happened to me, it went through ok the next day

    Almost time to go. M list is now updated, I think.

    I've beaten the weekly email with some Champagne. By one penny. I've checked the Aldi Champagne referred to - is 75cl. I have some other Champagne, also 75cl, on £9.98 "RTC" in M. It's gone onto the list.

    I am trying for everyone (not in that way;)). I found a lot of ice lollies, and some ice cream tubs, in part of the shelf in my M that had no prices at all. They were below some items that were on RTCs. So, in the hope that the lack of SELs might mean 50p each, I thought I'd select several and take them to the till.

    All scanned at full prices:eek::eek:. So, this week this basket costs £5.49 more:eek: than my fornlorn pipedream hope that they might be 50p each. Sadly not - some Nestle "Fab" Lollies scanned at £2.49 alone:eek:. Only four items as well to get that huge amount over my (totally unrealistic!:rotfl:) 'guide pricing' - I notice how their own baskets seem to have to contain twice as many items as that in order to make their savings that would have been lower than my price overpayment here. But, then, I was expecting the lollies to be 50p:rotfl:. Sadly no hope on that one I'm afraid. Just to clarify, they've not gone up from that - these are brand new ones that I was hoping might have gone down a load due to the lack of SEL pricing in my store on the entire run but, sadly, they all turned out to be full price (and all safely returned to the freezer:D).

    So, if Mr M is reading/watching, and maybe some of what they call "price differentiation" will help;):cool: - note that our price perception is 50p and maybe need to reduce them down to that in order to sell them!:D:D

    However, sadly, there are enough people prepared to pay £2.49 and £4.49 on ice creams and either think that those are good prices or otherwise they want them so much they are prepared to buy them at that!:eek: Same people - or probably similar but actually slightly more savvy - that probably ruin some whoopsies for us to buying them out of stock when they are mere half prices - should wait longer and they will be 9p soon!

    In the circumstances, with things overtaken by glitching, I won't bother or have time to go into the anomalies of pricing between different Ms I found - of no use anyway:cool:... but nonetheless I have crossed a couple of items out on that basis, not as good as they were before anyway! I'm more confident now that the Canteloupe Melon is 99p in M. Seemed to go to 2 for £3 and have some £2 pricing on some of them in the interim (in M) but now, latest, they do seem more clearly to be 99p. Not very good though - since they were 87p(?) in A before and 10% off 99p if it worked would have not been as good. However, it seems the Canteloupe Melon has now completely disappeared for A from msm! Very strange... obviously don't want to better 99p price on them!:rotfl::rotfl: Perhaps. Watch though - :idea:are they on 2 for £3 instore and therefore some use of this msm absence maybe?

    The comments say this is a repost but it's the first I have seen it and it's in stock at my closest store :j

    Might be useful to me:T as I have a £10 voucher from an essential purchase from them recently, got to use it I suppose! I have a bit of time still on that, although now got to find £7.51 more somewhere:rotfl::rotfl:. (I'm sure I'll manage...)

    I know, about 'reposts', there are things that somehow I've been unaware of for months and then become aware of them (such as the Ariel tabs comparing to 2p in Mvs A, only found out about that after it had all gone and be done and dusted:mad::mad::rotfl:). Can someone do me a nice exact £10 shopping list of items maybe on RTC from Argos? I expect at least 25 items for that price;). As cheap as possible - preferably 90% or more off per item:D.

    Goodnight!:wave:

    Comp. safely claimed, fortunately, and already posted (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=67867954&postcount=8123). I think I clicked on a link, from Google search, that went straight to the page where you enter the BC#. The time it worked I went back via a link that went to an APG page where you click on "Enter receipt" (for instore, page shows instore and online and asks you to select which) and then goes to the BC# entry page (for instore). It then worked - seems to have set the page to the right place to enter. Took a bit, but all safe and claimed, several minutes after the original problem.
