    Help!

    is there a kind and wonderful person out there who has a barcode for Morrisons milk and an iceberg lettuce (Morrisons) - although I suppose any milk and any iceberg will do.

    A kind person yesterday said she was annoyed that none of her wombles had a lettuce on them.
    I was also annoyed because I'd not thought to check my wombles for lettuce :D
    When I see it on the app I keep thinking its a sprout :rotfl:

    and now I have fetched them out of the recycling (receipts not sprouts) one of mine dated may 15th from Morribobs and it has both milk and lettuce and not long left to upload the receipt :eek:
    Even more annoying that we were in Morribobs twice over the weekend so I could easily have scanned instore :(

    Sorry I don't go so far as to collect details of BCs from M:(:D:j:rotfl:. And - can I really be bothered spending time writing this post - yes, I'm getting weary again?! I went to different Ms than normal, so ended up with a few gaps in information - but not so much that I need to go to the other M - just using my own judgement as to whether items likely still to be available or not. Not much has changed, fortunately. It was fortunate as having to find items in different places as well as working undercover and dodge the man in a certain aisle that would find me out! So, M list is now updated again - it's all on there and all I get time to do (in my weary life:rotfl:) is pop on and update the list and then go again - I'm afraid just "too hard" these days to do much else:(.(:rotfl::cool:)

    As mentioned, the two versions of Gale's honey. And, indeed, there are at those prices in both the stores I was in today, so not specific to a single store! It now makes the own brand honey on everyday price £1.45 seems way overpriced:rotfl:. That own brand honey as well - it's price was never beaten even by huge amounts of Rowse Honey even on their best offer prices, so it did seem a good deal and was never knocked off. Until now, with the Gale's version at 5p. Typical that the one without the Vanilla they want to charge you 10p:eek: - double the price!:eek::eek::rotfl: Honey is one item though that lasts forever. That's right - according to this site: http://www.eatbydate.com/other/sweets/honey-shelf-expiration-date/, honey is one food that never spoils! So, if you use honey then, on those prices, I would be buying enough to last the entire rest of your life, and the rest of the life of any other person you care about.

    People may remember I never got round to mentioning the items I'd added last time - I think it was that family emergency. I found the Fish Counter Mackerel on offer on a Wednesday, nearly a couple of weeks ago. Last Monday it had disappeared. It turned up again last Wednesday - this time in both the stores I had! So, I didn't mention this but it seemed to have become more likely to compare than before. Now, today, it's gone again:(:mad::mad::rotfl: - although I now have one that's Prepacked having gone from ridiculous £7 or £8 per kg. price or something like that to £4.99/kg today. :(Meaning that that's a price increase from the £3.66/kg offer price of the counter one. I treat these as the same though - indeed, on an earlier occasion - absolute months ago - I found some Salmon at the counter but later, it was going OOS in stores but I still managed to find it in one of them as a prepacked version at the same price and then, indeed, it reappeared at the same price at the counter in a different store on the same date. So, on that, I reckon the Mackerel has gone up in price - to £4.99/kg:eek: as we have a "was" price of over £7/kg on it. Maybe:rotfl:.

    Other than that, everything's on the list (I don't know if the Gale's Honey would work on the APG btw:rotfl: - it certainly will not work at the moment as it will not yet be updated - I just think I'd be very inclined to buy that in M) - but careful, maybe, on the £15 alcohol bottles - my first store still had full price:eek: on all the shelving ones - and only indication they were back on offer was a hoarding showing the different ones and their price on the way out of the store. My second store had got the £15 offers on the shelf but if the first is anyway representative of where they have got to yet (and they prioritise the price increases in stores as they are the ones that have to show correct price) then maybe wait a bit to give M (and therefore the APG) a chance to catch up on their SELs (APG takes information from the SELs they find)... and then only to find that the products have gone back up to full price on Wednesday and the whole offer no longer be available!!:rotfl::rotfl: Who knows, maybe that will be the case. Anyway, you're up-to-date on the M list.

    I love it when no one knows I'm baking for them :D I have to go into central London for a one hour meeting tomorrow, so I decided I'm going to surprise some friends with cupcakes at work. Seems pointless to trek into town otherwise. I just hope they're actually at work :rotfl:

    Hope you've had pleasant Mondays :)

    Dunno about meringue savvy sorry

    It is £1 in M. V expensive though:rotfl::rotfl:, but M4rtin, do you have confirmation of the comparison on the APG? TIA.

    Fwiw (:rotfl:this may all change tomorrow), the Custard Doughnuts gave me 65p vs 47p on a womble today - but :(I was caught by the Cherry Scones as they went 65p vs N/A even though the Cherry Scones are on 50p everyday price in M. Think they may have only the Cherry Bakewell Scones in their store, like I had last Wednesday - and 50p way too expensive anyway(:rotfl:) as Cherry (Bakewell) Scones are 65p bogo'f' in M.

    No changes in prices in M on any of these items but APG may or may not change anyway, just to trip you up:rotfl:!

    All my items here are tempter items anyway, so I don't know why I mention them:rotfl: - they're not money-savers therefore! Avoid:rotfl:!
