I think someone else said this earlier, but I now leave mine plugged in all the time its in use

I would, but due to the problems, I'm not risking it at the moment. Yet it's supposedly not charging at all so should be alright(?) - yet I suppose it is continually charging as 80% would otherwise be going down to 79% so to keep that 80% is not losing charge as it's plugged in - and tip would be getting hotter and hotter as it's still plugged in (to not lose the charge).

Does anyone see this at all on t.com or is it completely OOS?

Holland's Cheese & Onion Pie (185g)


Unavailable in Tesco

• 
  95p *
• 
  £1.00 *
•

I keep finding them on msm but constantly showing OOS everytime the Hollands pies go on offer in M (that one is available in some Ms btw, where it is currently 50p). Are they ever available in T anywhere? TIA.

Savvybuyer

So much for the Haribo Pinballs at 75p in M. I saw some at less than half that price, on RTC, in one of my As. Sadly showing OOS for A on msm.

Mvs A
M Savers Frozen Garlic Baguette (150g)

Or A (SP equivalent, 170g) vs T or W - N/A. (Do *not* put on a comp vs M or S. Expected to lose out Avs M, or, even more, Avs S:eek:.)

Just so typically OOS of anything that might otherwise have been good!:(

Aussie Aussome Volume Dual Personality Mousse 150ml £4.98 and 3 for £10 A - M £3. OOS A. Aussie Dual Curl Definition Serum 75ml same pricing for A - obviously it's £2 isn't it in M, what do you reckon, showing no pricing for M on msm?:)

Butcher's Beef Frying Steak variable weight in M. Fixed weight:( in A on Butcher's Selection and variable on SP only:(:(. Therefore non-comparable on both.

Beef Meatballs (340g) £1 in M ("fresh"). Outside weight range in A:(. but may it compare anyway? I wouldn't risk, unless wombles pick it up. T lower weight, so no point trying to pricematch there (T PP does not adjust for weight). So, it's a buy in M (probably half a :T there).

I have found the Ultimate Blends Glow Oil 150ml at £1 in M again. £7.00 in A:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. M's is RTC price - found it last Wednesday, but found no trace of it on Monday in the one store I have, now found it again - just shows how haphazard this is.

Live Colors (sic) are not going onto Avs M at £3.99, as I have found a version vs T at 2 for £7.49:wall:.

Otherwise, Flora Cuisine on £1 in M (but has been sub-£1 each before in T, though I think that was part of a bogo'f' so required purchase of more than one). The Beef Meatballs are a new item from Wednesday, as mentioned. I mentioned the Cucumber Portion earlier. And to the Nestle Desserts - 4 pack Rolo, Milkybar, After 8 - may be added Ltd Ed. Rolo Dark. However, it seems to me a new item so probably won't compare.

The KTC Veg Oil (huge bottle) appears to have gone up from £4 to £5 now - but maybe that's dubious as showing £4 on msm. If it is £5 in M (I only checked one store so it maybe just an incorrect SEL there), then it may be Sains vs A item. £6 vs £3.97. Or for N. Ireland presumably.

Otherwise, the Mushrooms are off. The Silver Spoon Icing Sugar 500g has already gone up to everyday low price £1.28!:rotfl: This is the one that was 56p last week. So, an everyday low price of £1.28 now - or a lower price before! Avoid. I'm not liking these "low" prices. Besides, Aldi is now cheaper on this item, but still more expensive than M on its previous offer was, so, even when compared to another store, which M itself appears to benchmark itself against ("We pricematch Aldi and Lidl..."), the everyday low price IMO seems high.

About the 55p sauces, I appear only to have the Burger Sauce and the BBQ Sauce in my M that I checked earlier now, so will need to look at that again next time to see if the rest of the range is still available elsewhere.

Billy Bear 100g - avoid. Is now "Save 10p", crossed out £1.10 and current £1.00. However, I checked behind the offer label and, yes, indeed, the previous offer ticket of crossed out ("was") £1, now 80p - save 20p - was behind the label:wall:. You know, when something appears to me to be clearly misleading...:mad: It seems things are going in reverse - I did see the 80p offer pricing showing in another store on Monday. I didn't note it here as it is too high for me. It now appears, assuming the £1 offer label is correct, to have gone up in price, yet of course says "Save 10p" and I've no idea about an allegedly higher £1.10 price. But then I don't take details of higher prices. I'm afraid I have no power to do owt. I did move the offer ticket slightly though - :eek:tampering with offer labelling - so that the "Save 20p" was now visible so that, hopefully, any further customers might notice it and see Save 20p and Save 10p and think there was something up that they might want to investigate it before purchasing it on the strength of supposedly going down to £1 and representing a saving of 10p (as opposed to a saving of 30p two days ago, although they only claimed 20p, if the higher £1.10 price is to be believed).

That's it - those are the changes from Monday to Wednesday and will be reflected on the list. A few possible "More" points with vs elsewhere to look at and post soon.

I Can't Believe spread 500g is £1.65 in M and 300 "More" points offer. So would be good if somewhere else was £1, or even 82p (very precise:D). All scientific, you see: very precise, scientific and tactical price setting in the supermarkets.

Sadly £1 only in Iceland at the moment:mad:, they do plan these things:(. Looks like T £1.45 but no good. But keep in view just in case it goes down in price elsewhere and if the points offer is then still on.

Just looked at the Pitch Brioche Pasquiers and :(no luck there.

Bob Martin Complete 2.5Kg that are £4 in A. They are also £4, although not showing on msm, in M and 1000 points there. So, may be better to buy in M than A. If you think it's worth paying more for Bob Martin than an own brand or cheaper alternative. Although, sadly, no favourable comparison vs elsewhere.

Also, two different toothbrushes - Wisdom Regular Firm and Wisdom Regular Medium are "Now £1" in M. Label that I saw, that says £1.00 also says, in very small print, "2 for the price of 1". So, maybe they should be £1 bogo'f' - i.e. 50p each - and not £1 x2. I'd hold them to that "2 for the price of 1" claim if you see it - and if you think it's worth paying 50p for a toothbrush.

Savanna Dry Cider 500ml showing £2 for M on msm. That's complete rubbish IMO - as it's clearly £1 in M! Sadly no good from A as appears to be no good pricing/OOS.

Careful on the A Rich Roast Coffee Granules (500g) vs M. They have been very good (non-glitch) price vs M at £3.49:T:T. However, they have been on RTC there, although across stores so should have been working on the APG, but unfortunately appears to be cleared out of my main main store Wednesday (the larger of the two main stores I use;)). Still available in the other store, but, while this may have worked from Monday, it might not work from Wednesday's data. Or maybe it will. But, indeed, showing M OOS on msm now so gone offline and clearly must be becoming riskier now that stock is diminishing in some places in M. Even if my other store still has quite some stock left.

The Redbush Original Tea Bags (80 pack) are £1 in M. More of a muggle's price:rotfl:. I'm ignoring msm again, as it says £1.79 - I think complete rubbish but who can tell? I'll stick them on (NB Tetley 240 £2.74 would be cheaper if that worked) but, on the Redbush Original, I could be wrong. Probably not:rotfl:.

A couple of the Rice Krispie Squares are still showing £1.98 on msm. So, wonder if it will continue to work later. Only the Marshmallow appears to be stocked in A, be on the offer and be 99p for M. Totally Chocolately comparing against M at full price:( - appears blame M HQ as, even though it may be 99p in M, it appears that 99p SELs have not been distributed to the stores and the stores instead displaying £1.69 price. So that's what the APG has picked up. I did leave them off on Monday as I saw £1.69 SEL in my stores and therefore I had no evidence that they were on 99p offer.

Update on my laptop: the adaptor tip is now very hot again (it would burn me if I held it properly) - and, having discharged, back up only to 31% battery:(. Will try to charge a bit more when switched off, but probably not very safe.

[Strike]I'm adding the stuff onto the M list anyway - got it all saved and just ready to transfer it now, so was doing that in any event already, and already, after that, about to leave! So, goodnight from me:wave:.[/Strike] Now done.
