Ecstatic Laughter In The Evenings

Anon

Finally, my Muller shop failed . These two were not scanning instore and I thought would trigger but have appeared on the APG:

1 x Muller Pud Corner Dessert - Chocolate (85g) £0.30 N/A
1 x Muller Pud Corner Dessert - Toffee (85g)

That's all folks, results locked in with vouchers saved having fallen asleep in front of the TV waiting again - goodnight.

Hmmmm done some middle of the night shopping and now wondering if I have to get my results locked in before a certain time to avoid updates. Am I really considering setting my alarm in two hours time???

One day I will understand how all of this works

Have been looking for the maltesers egg for Shopitize but it would appear they have sold out in my A's

Right, the M list is now absolutely full. I had the 'post too large' message earlier and had to move some of it between the two posts. Eventually I shall decide what the important things on there are and get the big picture gist rather than cataloguing every possible single potentially good item:rotfl:. I think there's little chance of that! Some Robinsons Fruit & Barley 1L at 89p, not quite making the list but keep those A mbuys in view. Note M do not stock the entire range - they appear to stock only the five that are on msm anyway. (This is after the "normal" Robinsons were 74p in M (and one, regular orange, was 69p) but they have now already ended!)

I'll have to get to the biscuits later, together with Tvs A and possibly Mvs A. I suspect things such as Parsnips packs, Baby Potatoes packs and Cauliflower would feature on there - anything that would potentially annoy us on APG wombles! But which, in the case of Avs M, might not do so if they miss it off:rotfl:.

Meanwhile, I've removed the BE Light & Crunchy Breaded Chicken (£1.62 in T) from M vs T as it is one of the two that is on £1.62 in M:(. (The other is the Garlic & Herb version that T appear not to stock:(. So, can't use Tvs M there - in short, we're stuffed!:rotfl:)

Apart from that, I have some Lambs Liver and Pig's Liver to check later as may be possible M vs A items - I need to check a.com to see exactly how they are described on there as to whether or not they might be comparable.

That's it - I'll be back, probably somewhat later, but then we do have an extra day (as opposed to one less hour:() this week as now got until Tuesday until things change; although really it's a postponed day as shops closed on Easter Sunday. Anyway, plenty of time!

See you again - bye!!:):wave:

M do not stock as wide a range as A on these, so you do need to avoid certain ones! As far as I know, the N/As we're seeing are correct:(. So - stick to the ones on my list! Or go by msm, should be okay. Except that the "Steamed Wholegrain" description on there is the one that says "BROWN BASMATI WHOLEGRAIN" on the packet. (And yes, it has it in capitals on the packet, hence a correct quote.) That one should compare vs M. However, beware of this one - Tilda Steamed Brown Basmati Rice Wholegrain Pilau (250g) is *not* stocked in M. Says "WHOLEGRAIN PILAU WHOLEGRAIN" on the packet - do not get confused and do not pick this one up!

Have I ever suggested that anyone should get Brown Basmati with Roasted Veg. or Rice Sweet Chilli & Lime? No!

Or I don't need to - I just rely on my memory instead!:rotfl: With the caveat that could be out-of-date if anything has changed in the last two days.

SP 'fresh' Spaghetti vs T or M. Pasta Shapes vs M, Tinned Potatoes vs M, Carrot vs T, Garden Peas are 21p & vs T, Marrowfat Peas at 19p buy in T or M (vs A!), or Avs W:rotfl:, Baked Beans vs T, Meatballs vs no-one anymore as M now no longer stocks the one of its Meatballs it had and never stocked the other, therefore N/A [checked msm, Meatballs in Tom Sc apparently vs T at 40p not 10% chpr than, and in Gravy doesn't matter, vs anywhere as N/A everywhere else]. Beef/Veg Curry vs N/A / Chicken/Veg Curry vs T, Chilli Con Carne vs T or M, Minced Beef Onion vs T (having to check at this stage, as individual prices going way too dear for me:rotfl:, my fillers usually 30p or below:rotfl::rotfl:), tinned spag. Tvs A, or Avs W with price increase of 3p:eek:, Spag Bol. vs T, Ravioli/Mac Cheese vs T or M, Tomatoes buy in T vs A or M vs A or Avs W, Bol. Sauce vs M, Soups vs M (Chicken may return N/A), SP Mandarin :eek::eek::eek:way too dear compared to its 18p of 3 or 4 years ago - vs T at best now, Rice Pud vs T, Tinned Custard vs T, Strawberry Jam vs T or M, Mixed Fruit Jam vs T, Lemon Curd vs T, Tilda Rice the seven varieties only that M stocks vs M, UHT Milk :eek:A and T price increase, now only vs M. Pineapple vs T, Peach vs [EDIT... T price incr:eek:, now vs M but will probably be N/A so vs W would the same. Or Tvs A:rotfl:], Long Grain Rice vs M only, Instant Mash vs T only, Corn Flakes vs S:rotfl:, SP Teabags vs T (shows 27p oos but appears to keep continuing to compare), SP Coffee - if it's now 40p in A, I'd be buying in T or M:rotfl:. Or otherwise Avs W. However, if it's 47p on msm, then should be C&C:rotfl: vs M at 47p. However, I suspect it's just buy Avs M. Biscuits - I'll look into later as some could be N/A. (This is already in my 'to dos' as regards replying to someone else on this earlier - I've looked into the biscuits that are stocked in M more expensively as they are not on msm; also have a womble from earlier where two returned N/A vs M, need to get round to looking into the details of this.) Fruit Shortcake is vs M at 34p (not 10% cheaper).

---snip---:rotfl:

Or... in another way, which might be more useful to some...

Vs T
SP Spaghetti 500g
Carrot tin
Garden Peas tin
Baked Beans
Meatballs/Tom Sc
Meatballs/Gravy
Beef/Veg Curry
Veg Curry
Minced Beef Onion
Spag. Bolognese tin
Ravioli
Mac Cheese
SP Mandarin
Rice Pudd
Tinned Custard
Strawberry Jam
Mixed Fruit Jam
SP Lemon Curd
Pineapple tin
SP Instant Mash
SP Teabags

Vs M
SP Spaghetti 500g
SP Spaghetti tin*
Pasta Shapes
Tinned Potatoes
Meatballs/Gravy
Ravioli
Mac Cheese
Bol. Sauce
SP Tomato Soup
SP Chicken Soup
SP Veg. Soup
Strawberry Jam
Tilda Rice (the specific ones stocked in M)
SP UHT Milk 1L (definite one, as everywhere else much higher priced, meaning you'd end up paying 65p now:eek: unless it is on an M comp. M comp (Avs M) should be approx. 44p net result). So, if you need it, buy it with the Tildas! And I trust that it does not go N/A.
Peach Slices tin
Long Grain Rice
SP Coffee

Vs S
SP Corn Flakes
Meatballs/Gravy
Beef/Veg Curry

Vs W (in other words A is more than 10% cheaper than everywhere else:( or it's N/A across the board - may not be technically true of the Tomatoes if they are missed off and return N/A vs M - risky as they are much more expensive there and may return M price and lose slightly - but too complex to get into this point!)
Marrowfat Peas tin
Meatballs/Gravy
Beef/Veg Curry
SP Tomatoes Peeled Plum tin
SP Tomatoes Chopped tin

---

The above are seeking to get the best comp., which I hope they do get! It's not all SP items, just those mentioned (plus I think I added the Marrowfat Peas). Others - for example, Marmalade vs T or M. If I keep going, I'll eventually have mentioned all the SP items lol:rotfl:.

Vs M and Vs W not avail. to Northern Ireland:( - some may be 'best' bought Tvs A there, although no 10% off if it's 10% off M only, otherwise bought in A separately (non-APG) or on vs Sains if Sains N/A or may be Avs T if, although T higher priced than M, A still not 10% cheaper than T (heaven forfend that any would end up vs Sains with M cheapest/same price as A but unavailable but T much higher priced than S!:rotfl:).

"Much more expensive" = A is more than 10% cheaper than.

*Oops, I got this wrong - said it was vs W, but it is vs M, even if 1.6p off price is more expensive than A's low price of 13p:rotfl:. SP Spag Loops vs W though (as well as vs Morries and Sains. all three NA, as long as that does not compare against M; if it compares against M, then it's Avs M only), but SP Spag in Tom Sc tin (i.e. 'normal' spaghetti not the loops) is not vs S as S has an equivalent on the APG and, as usual, is much more expensive. Spag tins may be best bought in T though as T is higher weight and should give straight price match to A's price, thus (very slightly) more product for the same price. In short - follow the above four lists, and SP Spag Loops is added to vs M, vs S and vs W. With the disclaimer check msm in case prices change:rotfl:. Or if items disappear off APG, i.e. go OOS on a.com and then on completely OOS on msm and ultimately no longer appear on the APG.

SP Sponge Mix is vs T for the best, but SP White Bread vs S and SP Brown Bread* vs M.:rotfl:

Hope it's all clear! Just so obvious to me!(:rotfl:) Though of course you should be getting whoopsies for bread!

(*You need to buy Wholemeal to get Brown to appear; buying Brown, possibly only available in the ex-Nettos, is a no appear:(, and does not count towards the 8 items:(:(. Morries actually stock Brown but smaller weight so the comp isn't as good but it's not 10% cheaper. So you get Wholemeal that compares against Brown. Unfortunately, Wholemeal does not appear as Wholemeal and therefore doesn't compare against S (which stocks Wholemeal) at same price as A, unlike the White, therefore the best comp on the Wholemeal is against M:(. Frown as it's about a penny off, if that, and not full 10% off A's price (being the same as S). I think actually may be best to buy that in S, as although it's the same weight, S's Basics seems to have smaller slices so you actually get more slices of bread and get through it less quickly, by consuming less for each slice:money:.)(:rotfl:)

Goodbye folks!:wave:

Could you post some more info about the device list? - or google them?

they might relate to model of the phone

my old htc desire shows up as 'HTC Desire HD A9191'
my moto g shows as 'XT1032'

Do they show an IP address or mac address on the homehub ?

IP: like 192.168.0.1 for example
mac: like 3c:4e:fe:34:98 for example

on android you can check address under settings > wi-fi > ... advanced

scroll down and see your ip and mac address.

if your phone matches then you know which is which

edit: apparently on homehub 'Unknown xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx' the xx's are mac address

Thank you. I happened to search a bit more and find the page that lets you see what's active so was able to eliminate my own. I have now figured out another by the same process so all is well.
