Good Morning.

I'm pleased that you have finally adopted the cats(i'm sure that if Dotty moved in next door you would adopt him as well).

I've not posted much lately but wish you my very best for your treatment next week.

Why ? Is Dotty a cat too :eek:.

Just had some sad news . Bill the guy from Bryn y Grog where I go to the bootsale has died. He was 74 and such a nice chap. He would do bootsales, Round table fireworks display, horse shows anything and everything. I was only teasing him the other week saying Bet you will enjoy sitting by your fire counting all the money lol.

I am so stupid... Spent most of the day racing back home to try and be in for my Ts wine delivery. No sign of it arriving still so I checked my account and it's still in my basket :rotfl: I must've forgotten something when I pressed 'pay now' and assumed it went through. Both codes still there so I've tried again. It'll no doubt arrive when I'm having my pre-nightshift nap tomorrow...

Mine was meant to come today, just had a text to say it is delayed, and now not coming until tomorrow, grrr!!!

It'll take ages for me to do all the very minor changes:rotfl:.

In M today I found the sweets cartons were no longer 2 for £2, as expected. It's possible that they may work on T PP until Thursday, if T PP does price checks on Mondays and Thursdays, for example, and if they had ever been picked up with the M mbuy in the first place. However, it would be for those wanting to risk spending £8:eek:, plus the cost of fillers/other items, in order to attempt 2 for £2 price. In short, it may be cheaper buying in M at straight £1.96 price:eek::rotfl:.

The headlines, I think, are the 1Kg Carrots at 45p (the 'fresh' ones) and, possibly, the M Vegetable and Sunflower oils (3L) at £2.98 (however, that's still more expensive per litre than the KTCs). There is a small amount of older 60p stock of the carrots still left around, so it may be best waiting and seeing if wombles pick it up first. Then again they could go back up in price next time and be missed:rotfl:.

The Savoy Cabbage, having been so dear for several weeks, has gone down now - but only to 50p:( rather than to previous 49ps we've seen (:rotfl:the 1p difference now affects my perceptions of a good deal given that we've had the 49p before - if it had always been 51p before, then I'm sure I'd be liking the 50p price).

The Rectangular Bowls (I have stock of green and of blue but you might have others, such as red, somewhere) have gone down to 75p in the last couple of weeks, but we're waiting for them to go to 48p. Just so you don't do anything silly such as buying washing-up bowls in Home Bargains for 99p or something:rotfl:. (Someone will tell me they have found 25p RTC stock somewhere in the world:rotfl:.)

It seems the Ben and Jerry's frozen yogurts are NOT the cheesecake one found in A. Still a great difference between £4.45 and £1 even if they are different ones. I have the Strawberry Shortcake and the Vanilla Honey Caramel at £1 in M. Own brand version (may be a different flavour, I did not take details) is slightly cheaper at 98p (I have seen 50p and 25p RTC on others before). The information on the Ben and Jerry's is information cobbled together from two M stores:rotfl:. The first one had the Strawberry Shortcake at £1 but didn't give any information about the Vanilla Honey Caramel - it suggested that the Vanilla Honey Caramel was also £1 but did not explicitly say so - instead it had two SELs for Strawberry version (which turns out to be Strawberry Shortcake according to what the product packs say, unless "Strawberry"* has sold out altogether at that price and only Strawberry Shortcake is left but, in which case, there are no SELs for Strawberry Shortcake - see how confusing [Strike]it is[/Strike] I make it - but then that's only because it's not total 100% clear black-and-white with no element at all of any doubt:rotfl:). Second store had the Vanilla Honey Caramel at £1 but no price mentioned on the Strawberry (Shortcake) one!

People (in RL) do sometimes find me annoying, actually, when I get into a bit of a 'tizz' about things not being black-and-white. However, that's because you're all grey-area'd and because you are not being specific and clear - it's hardly my fault: it's not you being accurate and correct!:D:rotfl: Is it my fault if you're ambiguous and, therefore, I can't decide what you want as you're not clear? "Use your common sense and stop creating fault or finding doubt" they say. But, then, I'm not trying to be difficult (maybe I just am difficult:rotfl:) but it's you not being clear.

Anyway, I don't know why I've gone into all this on this post:rotfl:. I wasn't intending to - just came here, originally, intending to post a quick thing of the couple of headline items. And then imagined more ambiguities about the Ben and Jerry's than I ever thought about two hours ago (being the time I was actually in the stores):rotfl:.

I think you're best just going back to that one paragraph about the Carrots and the 3L oils:rotfl:. I've distracted away from that gist now.

As referred to, there are quite a few very important and absolutely critical extremely minor changes in some prices. Mostly one or two pence either way (some up, some down). Including things that we've been paying 2p too much for for several months:rotfl:. They'll be reflected, eventually, on the list - I don't need to specify them here (indeed, it defeats the point as I'd then be spending time getting all the information back from my notes only then to put the same thing onto the list later).

A few more substantive changes though:
Pet Lovers Carpet Cleaner - gone from 89p to £1:eek:.
The discongestant has suddenly shot up from 65p to £1:eek:.
Blister Plasters - will be coming off Avs M - were £1, now £1.15.
The Lamb Breasts have gone from £4.50/kg to, it seems, £6/kg!

That'll do for now - just the headline of the Carrots packs really:rotfl:.

*It just says "Strawberry" on the two SELs and not "Strawberry Shortcake". I'm expecting people to be completely exact again:rotfl:.

Well Ive got my UDI order delivered. They yet again tried to sub the 10 strawberry ones with 2 apple ones, and charge me full price at £5.90 for them two so gave them back.
Now this is where it gets interesting. I have ordered peanut butter, blueberries and other fruit and veg and have been charged just the £1 delivery. I didn't have any evouchers. If I had realised earlier, would have kept the 2 UDI's lol. Waiting for APG now so that should be interesting.
So at the moment, charged £1. Gave back 2 UDI's so that should be a £5.90 refund. Total so far -£4.90 and waiting for a £20+ APG :o:o

I am not going to refuse any unwanted subs at collection/delivery - last time they subbed my 10 strawberry udis with 10 apple ones(they only charged me £1 each but I refused them) but the £10 refund never came through even though the store chased the South African lot up twice. I haven't furthered it myself as, with their newfangled way of debiting and crediting, its not easy to explain whats gone amiss. The fact remains that, with a total left to pay on my collection note (after evoucher and multibuy deductions) of just under £13 I should have had a £10 refund for the refused udis leaving me a final cost of around £3. Instead of that I have paid £13 odd.

I'm going to let this one go but I suspect they have 'done' others as well and, to stop it happening again, I will accept whatever they give me and take it into the store for a refund at CS if I don't want the sub - then I am sure of getting it straight back on my card.

Oh. The other one I like today, about people (who are extremely likely not to be autistic) who write these price stickers and offer labels not being completely exact, is the Carlsberg (don't let this confuse you - it's currently Carling at 'good' £10 price NOT the Carlsberg) currently having an offer label of straight £11 price. £11 mix and match it says:rotfl:.

Probably because it was 2 for £20 a couple of weeks ago, and obviously they've just forgotten to delete the "mix and match" words from their template when they came to printing the new "offer" label, but just shows how people, generally, don't do things completely thoroughly and tend not to notice (what to me appear as) glaring errors.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

No harm done, we knew what they meant - price is £11 (not good enough for me), even if the words "mix and match" are totally meaningless as they relate to nothing at all!:rotfl:

They still have the Lockerbie cheese offer label up, with price of £6 per kg and crossed out £5.25:rotfl: (which it was at, some weeks before, before it went up).

:j:j:D:TYou slipped that one in there, almost unnoticed like items that sneak onto my own M list sometimes (or, sometimes, like a tiny piece of really significant information buried in my own posts among other info.).

Fwiw, the JFs generally are still on straight £4 each in M. I've not been getting any details and haven't got any now (too many of them to keep noting down and little point doing so), but we know what's comparing anyway (thanks to your post now:T) so, we'll go from that!:)
