    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    not a child in the house will get bathed now as everyone endlessly searches TCB for sweeties :D

    I've been doing it for days now but OH only started yesterday and you can catch up on the ones you have missed. Not everyone gets the same sweeties which is frustrating.

    The other annoying thing is the pages takes ages to load so you have to wait a few seconds or you will miss something.

    still time to join the madness :D

    basically go to barilla on Fb and click on the link. Then register either with FB or an email address

    do the daily quiz, does not matter if you get anything wrong. You can do them 3 times.

    into your email box will come 3 emails each with 50p - you can use these in Tesco or Morrisons.
    Morrisons have the jars and pasta for 75p until the 29th so after MOC 50p
    - these last forever so you don't have to worry about expiry dates. some of us will be eating Barilla past for years and years :rotfl:

    The amount of change in M today is quite small, but may be significant. I'm forgetting about a few items that have gone down in price and it seems to be a more expensive M than it was on Monday.

    "Fresh is best" they are saying. However, it may be last chance on the Broccoli as that has gone from 42p to 50p. I perhaps forget that, several years ago, Broccoli was sold at £1 in places like T - probably always waiting to go on a "half price" offer. The standard 1Kg Carrots pack (which were not comparing on the APG and probably still aren't:() have gone from 45p to 60p. They are some Savers Carrots packs marked as 35p but may be lucky to find those as OOS in all the stores I tried.

    The Diced Swede pack (500g) had already increased to 60p on Monday, and now the Vegetable Soup Mix is 70p (up from 66p, earlier 65p) although that has been very good priced for quite a while. I still have the Carrot & Swede packs at 54p - but may be because they are 450g and may therefore already lose out on weight adjustment. Besides we ought to be going for whoopsies and not small packs:rotfl:. Even the "fresh" Broccoli & Cauliflower Florets (400g) have gone up to £1.17!:eek: The loose broccoli is now at £1.36/kg but I've never seen it being compared to. This may now be the time to start enjoying an N/A on the Loose Garlic - 25p in A - as it has increased to 30p in M:rotfl:. However, T's Eday garlic 3 pack at 49p may be cheaper (depends on how big/small the garlic inside that is:rotfl:) - A's singles were on 2 for 40p but I think they are not on mbuy anymore so are now more expensive at 25p each. M is as dear as Sains. now on loose individual garlic. Basics Garlic 2 pack at 35p:eek: - it's cheaper than 2x A's standard singles (but I'm not comparing like with like) and, of course, if you adjust 35p for 2 to a 3 pack it's slightly more expensive than T's 49p for 3. Again, depends on what size the garlics actually are.

    It is possible this may be the last time now for the After Eight Mints. Or it may be next time is the last. With "inflation" at minus figures, I have a 349% price increase on the After Eights!:eek::eek: They are showing OOS at £1 on msm and, indeed, I have one store that is OOS and has a £1 price label on with the offer supposed to end tomorrow. However, the store I have that does have stock now has £3.49 price on the shelf! Nonetheless, if the After Eights have shot right up, I do have a replacement for them and, on pure weight, it may work out better than the After Eight Mints have been. Certainly wouldn't work yet on the APG if it's only just gone on offer in M.

    I found some 6 packs of Monster Much Bacon Webs and Wotsits Flamin' Hot Zombie Fingers on 50p price. Then I looked at them however and found that each packet contains just 16.5g:(, so it may as well be nearly be £1 price:eek: based on how little is in each of the packets.

    The 50p Meal Worms have gone up to £2:eek: - but may have been some confusion last time about whether it was an M own brand or was a Nature's Garden product. I had the price label referring to "M Nature's Garden". It now has no price in the store I originally found it but has £2 SEL in another store. I have other 50p items to reveal in that shelf now however!

    I have what I think is at least one, and probably both, of the potential RTC Fairy Platinums at £6 in M. May or may not pick up M's price or elsewhere's prices.

    Main headlines are the increase in prices on several of the fresh vegetables items. This follows on from some of the frozen veg. having been increased in price in M about a couple of weeks ago. And the possible ending of the After Eight Mints. There's of course more to appear on the list later. This will then be last time through this weekend on a lot of the 'offer' items (i.e. not the regular SP prices) as next week is going to be a very big changeover.

    I have Kiltie Breaded Scampi Bites (220g) at straight £1 price in M! Normally they require you to buy multiples and pay way expensive price on each one, but this time, it seems to be cheaper than M "Savers" version - though that's not saying as much as it might previously have done as I think Savers price has increased recently - I think it was £1.25 some time back but has been £1.37 (and no good to make any list or even any mention before) - it had gone up so much, I thought, that it was making some of the Young's products on expensive(:rotfl:) 2 for £3 offer look quite close in price. I think that's an excellent price on Scampi - best I've seen for a while since T had an offer some years back that put some of its 220g/235g(?) down to £1. Considering Young's Scampi 220g only ever goes down to £2 offer prices (excluding any RTC deals you may find store-specific) and thus always remains too expensive, and Whitby 250g is at £1.25 in T at the moment - but that works out slightly worse on weight than the £1 price on Kiltie at M.
