    Yes that drives me mad too! I have always had to re input again.
    I have always won from every box I have had. Unlucky I think.

    Night All, good luck to all that are still checking codes!
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    Oh (surprised)! I might do M on Wednesday after all, as the Budget Programme is timed until 3pm (budget itself probably be finished before then) so, I can try to go to my nearer Ms and will be running only about an hour late. Much of it has already been revealed on Andrew Marr's show last Sunday anyway I feel.

    Manwhile, as you've gathered, I went to M today - I woke up thinking "To what avail?" and didn't feel like bothering but in the event, TBH the prospect of getting a "free" Frijj milkshake made me go:rotfl:. I think someone 'had their knickers in a twist':o:o - the Frijj Banana milkshake (471ml) would not have been free at all, as it is, correctly, 65p in M. It is the Yazoo milkshakes (including Banana 475ml) that are 50p in M. However, why bother for Tvs M price-match to that?

    In any event, I don't think they would have turned out to be free (and offer expired just now) as the cost of turning on my printer, the electricity running it for a few minutes, as well as the cost of the electricity running this computer system to get a receipt to scan, would cost more than 50p - making every upload to TCB individually worthless - unless there's lots to scan in one go, it seems pointless just to switch on a printer (scanner) for that and probably takes up more electricity than the 50p back. In any event, it is not completely zero cost so would not be getting the whole 50p back, possibly paying 5p or so if that was the cost of the scanner electricity and the computer. With the Frijj milkshakes being 65p in M, I wasn't going to get them at 15p plus the cost of scanner and computer electricity.

    So, it's the long-life Yazoo 1Ls that are £1 in M. But why bother as they are not free? Yazoo 475ml at 50p, without any CB, does not make it as it's less than 500ml so is more expensive than 1L at £1, which appears to be without CB anyway. I end up leaving the own brand 1L Flavoured Milks on the list, at £1:eek:, even though a Frijj Milkshake at 15p (plus cost of whatever) - i.e. 65p M price less 50p TCB now expired - would have been cheaper. This is comparing flavoured milks and milkshakes though! TCB now gone so don't bother with Frijj anymore.

    I had a small number of conflicts on pricing that I couldn't resolve, even with three stores - first one didn't stock, second one 'couldn't be bothered' to put a price, third didn't stock, so I've fudged the matters. Msm in fact has helped me on that one. Otherwise, the Savers Tomato Ketchup 500g version, as well as the Savers Garden Peas tins, are both unavailable in one of my stores and the neither of two others had any price labelling for either of them now. So, they may still be at the last known prices or that may be a 'tactic' for when they go really way good price (noted first store, only one to stock this, did not have price label on Garnier 1 Minute Treatment anymore, even though stock still present and suspected therefore to have remained at £1 - lots of £3 and upwards prices on others around it, but the suspected £1 price not marked:(). So, that's now three separate stores not showing any price on Savers Garden Peas tins (two last Wednesday and two today, one of which is the same one as one of the two visited last Wednesday) and the other main store, newly visited today but not last Wednesday, doesn't now stock either of them.

    Anyway, it's too much to be going through all of what happened instore - not of interest or any use anyway - albeit that I saw an M Waterproof Pouch at 48p. Then I thought about these sorts of things and these 48ps just trying to get me to buy all sorts of stuff that I would never even have thought I needed before! It did get me having a second look though - and even carrying the only pouch that had still been left for the next few aisles before I decided to go and put it back - as I saw the previous price had, apparently, been £3. Had it been £1 to 48p, I would have rejected it - but it said £3 and 48p and, I admit, had me thinking about buying it even more:eek:. In the end, I decided I had no need for a pouch and I put it back:money: as I decided that keeping money in my coat or trouser pockets would be adequate enough! Otherwise, what's wrong with an ordinary bag to keep other stuff in and help keep it dry? The Waterproof Pouch, we are told, is not intended to be completely immersed in water. Fwiw, I've put it onto the list as, supposedly, a good price.

    The reason I'm watching on these sorts of items and, now, being more inclined potentially to buy them is that the special purchase Rectangular Bowl that went down to 48p and, maybe, even to 28p later in some few places that continued to have stock - I thought we surely already had a bowl at home and failed to buy one in M despite seeing them time after time (I do extremely well on my resisting spending any money at all and my non-buying - far too well sometimes). Then, we it came to us needing to use one, I was looking for some time around the house, trying to find one and, no, it turned out, unbelievably, we had not got one at all:eek::eek::(. I really thought surely we must already have one, but we did not, and :o:oI ended up picking one from Home Bargains for 99p:eek:. So, I managed to resist the Waterproof Pouch today - but in any event, ended up already paying 51p more for a bowl and not having a Waterproof Pouch at all. Could have paid 3p less and had both, in effect, if I'd bought the bowl before it had completely vanished from M (cue me finding out we needed one only after it had done so:(:().

    So I am, for myself, thinking more about those household items at 48p and below, if I see any, as they are often very useful items to own. Trouble is I'm not always sure what we already own and therefore whether we need them - can't therefore make a snap decision in the store, but have to go home and then check - these thing unfortunately sometimes are in one day at M and then disappear the next time - and defeats the point to go home to check, only in order to have to travel all the way back to M on the same day otherwise as spending more on fuel than if you'd just bought the item even if not needed. Maybe I ought to consider returns. Otherwise, I just don't buy and then, when I get back home, I check and, if the item is still there whenever I next happen to go to M, then I might get it then.

    I think I'll remove the £1 plant pots in due course as there are now several others and too much really for me to track or, rather, I could track but would take me too much time (nothing is "too much" for me). I'll let you decide which are worth buying, if any, rather than me measuring (visually by eye) circumferences of exactly how much the plants have grown in order, mechanically, to determine which is "best" value. It's too mechanical - things in normal life don't quite work this way and anyway there may be some shortdated plants or flowers that can be got cheaper, as well as different store specific offers (e.g. 49p). You're well capable of having a look if you happen to be in M and therefore don't need me to track them for you! The 'new' ones are perhaps smaller plants but it's too mechanical really and I'm fed up really with tracking the whole lot (of what are not grocery items)! So, it's a case of 'look and see' - in your store - and, if there's anything there on RTC of much lower than the £1 price, make a decision yourself as to whether to buy or not.

    Anyway, M list is, I think, completed - might be odd item or so to add to it later - I've missed off the McVities Medley's - although only one of them is on 2 for £2 mbuy in A?, I ask as a question, the other two are full price £1.50?, £1.50 is not an expensive enough individual price to make it worthwhile for me:D and therefore they don't make it to the list ('bog standard' £1 in M). Mullers are 10 for £3 in M but I've never seen them comparing to that M mbuy so I'm leaving them off.

    The own brand Veg oil and Sunflower oils have changed - 1Ls no longer on 2 for £2 but now full price. 3L versions now 2 for £6 - so, probably same price as before before they went up to £3.95 or whatever straight individual price and now onto the mbuy. I'm 'sure' they were straight £3 some weeks ago. I'm toying with whether to put them onto the list or not, but I'm inclined to say no since the KTC versions 'must' be cheaper(?) and having you buy two large bottles in order to get £6 price isn't my idea of money-saving really.

    Goodnight!:)

    For the codes, 6 and 8 and O and 0 are particularly difficult to distinguish and O and 0 on the captcha :mad:.

    In Firefox you have to refresh the page a few times to load the captch too, which is a pain.
