    NA on goose fat

    Thanks. Think it may be out of weight or me thinking of some too clever for them. Anyway, no good - full price as ever in M.

    Final thing to mention (for now) is that the chocolate funsizes - that were completely absent for me on Monday - now, all of a sudden, some Crunchie Funsize packs appear at 43p!:rotfl:

    So, there's a possibility that some are still kicking around and it's possible (perhaps unlikely?:think:) if some are still found by them in their six:D stores that a random one or more could be picked up by the APG. Not that it matters - as this may be no guide to what's happening elsewhere in M in the country - where they collect prices from - but the Milkyway (that's no longer on a.com I think anyway so would be a no-go in A) seemed to disappear more, and then I had the Fudge and the Crunchie around last week (with full SELs in one store), but now just a few Crunchies are around in mine.

    I also have the Mars 13 - but that's never been RTC item at 43p, it's £1 (and was on Monday too). Joining that, as picked up by me today - although to be fair it may have been £1 on Monday but both of my stores then had full price SEL:mad: - is the Maltesers 195g funsize - also back on £1. I'm not sure why you'd get Marses given the RTC on the full size 4 pack bars in T recently:rotfl:.

    I've also got some Hallowe'en Popcorn today - sadly it's not 2p, but is at 50p instead. So, that's kicking around but it's probably not in many M stores. It's a better price than the M own brand Popcorn - which has always been available in M and standard mbuy pricing has been continuing throughout for months already, if not years, but long ago disappeared from my list due to things like this that occasionally come up (I think I found some in T many months and months back that turned out much better than M price therefore deleted the M ones from my list then?:think:) and the occasional prices, like this Butterkist one today, are far better.

    Oh - Patterson's Shortbread Fingers (or Clotted Cream etc.) - they were straight £1 on Monday, they are back on 2 for £1.50 today now until January apparently. So, just don't get caught by the removal of the mbuy for a couple of days. Probably solely due to competitors still having similar offers on?

    I noticed the Coca Cola Zero/Diet/Regular 24 can packs have gone from £6 in M to £6 and any 2 for £10:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::rotfl: - in case Mr T kindly wants to make a nice mess-up for us all from this time:D.

    I now have consistent pricing on the single (ordinary) Freddo:D. 24p, despite what msm says. I think online may not have been updated. I also have some cake decorations that I removed from the list on Monday, as I thought they'd disappeared by now - only to find they are back again, but in another store for me now:mad::laugh: - M Holly & Berry Sprinkles (70g) at 47p. So, you may find some of those somewhere (don't hold your breath though!) still in stock in M. They will go back onto the list:(:rotfl: - and more bits to sort out there later.:):wave:

    There are some great deals to be had, by buying in T. and comparing to A. for a BM.
    25% off 6 or more bottles in T.

    Glad all went well at the hospital :j

    Do you have any examples of a good deal on the wine by any chance? TIA

    Some "surprising items" (but hopefully not in the bagging area) may appear on the M list later (quite a lot later tonight if not waiting till tomorrow!). I know I don't mention everything but there's always the odd few more. So, you never know what might appear there!

    I think they'd changed from "unexpected item" as we'd become fed up of hearing about unexpected items. But I can see us tiring of "surprising" item and getting annoyed by that word in years to come in the future, and then they'll have to replace that by something else:doh::D:D:rotfl:. Until we then tire of that and... etc.:rotfl::)

    Do these people, that find some of the mbuy glitches (*not* for example the pet food ones found from online by Sal lately), spend lots of time in A with scanners checking things? Is that how they find them?

    I've no Aunt Bessie for 2 Rhubarb Crumble at all in my stores btw. The Apple Crumble is on 2 for £1.50. I can't find any Rhubarb Crumble anywhere - that was not on msm but I could find it last week, at straight price, even when it was not on the website - it's gone today though (was probably gone on Monday tbh - I was just surmising it might still be stocked)! So, I'm taking it off the list, when I next get to doing that, as I don't have it anymore. Apple Crumble 2 for £1.50 on msm is consistent for me in all my stores today.

    Of course, it's possible if I just went to another store, I'd immediately see the Rhubarb Crumble. However, three stores is enough today and not going to another one:eek: just for the sake of one item:cool:. (If anyone does see the frozen Rhubarb Crumble pack though whilst you're in M and, even more so, you see any mbuy pricing offer on it, I would be interested to know!:))

    There's not even any indirect evidence of its existence for me - for example the offer labels I see specifically only mention Apple Crumble. Sometimes I can see references to other items, even though I don't find them in my stores - and then doubt whether they'll ever work:rotfl:!

    Can someone ring M HO and ask if they still stock the Aunt Bessie's Rhubarb Crumble?:rotfl::rotfl: Might the Press Office know?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (Well, that's what MSE uses doesn't it, to confirm some things?)
