    Aw that's a shame, they had loads in my local and they still had the £3 frozen meal deal as well :)
    None of the £7.00 90 wash Surf though. I have been looking for this since it went on offer but never any in stock:(

    Then you'd have to try Mr T! With 9 other different items unfortunately - maybe your sweets (but then paying at least 90p more than M's price) or if you actually need any of the other items italicised on my list (or some others you might find). Bear in mind T's excluded offers - in other words its own offers that it doesn't take into account and if you can match any of the brands there to M (from full price Ts)...

    Your Pepsi 30 packs in M - do you actually have anything other than stock (maybe out at the front of the store) with big offer cards on it? If you can remember. (I'm just trying to work out if this would - at a great risk! - be compared against on the APG - has anyone got any small BC SELs with names of Pepsi 30 in their M stores anywhere?)

    I'm going to buy one of these http://www.superdrug.com/Toiletries/Dental/Electrical-Toothbrush/Oral-b-Pro-2000-Pink/p/473701#.VmCuUzEnyUk £25


    and one of these http://www.superdrug.com/Oral-B/Oral-B-Pro-Cross-Action-2000/p/981957#.VmCuhDEnyUk £25


    £50 split across 4 Amex cards = net £30


    I can sell the chargers for £10 or so, so about £6 after fees/ P&P.


    Net £18 or £9 each for 2 new toothbrushes.


    I just noticed that 2 or ours are losing all charge after about 2 days, only a few uses, they don't last forever. They need new heads as well.

    Don't worry about that - it's irrelevant! The Youngs Gastro fish would never have worked in that case (nor my 4x Parma Violets).

    As for any reports. No. None I'm aware of.

    I'm not concerned with msm - they've never used it for M prices. I'm more concerned about whether all people have in M is offer cards with no scannable information for the price collectors to put into the APG.

    I don't know - if you have a few large APGs, and aren't bothered about losing £6 - that you could, over time, build up from wombling - and the Pepsis might work, you don't know - maybe someone could risk it.

    If it helps, I did have - and this was a long time ago - several years ago - a shop against M in which some Surf washing powder failed - it was on half price in M and A did refund me to ten per cent cheaper pricing on my shop - and far more - I did have to go through HQ CS though and it took a while - I don't know if they'd still go that far now - the more people that do it though they do guarantee to be 10% cheaper - if wanting to try that way don't go with any glitching items. There's lots of things on good offer prices in M as it happens - quite a few more than normal perhaps (though maybe that's just what I use?) - and so a normal shopping basket, for once, is possible vs M.

    The price collectors - :eek:when I say this - you know the second I do it won't work - have been rather good, on the whole, lately, picking up a lot of items for M and it's only the odd ones that they miss. These could be those odd ones:( - it's always the best comparisons that fail for me!:rotfl::rotfl: (Possibly.) I'm concerned about the lack of what I call SELs in M (by which I mean the small price labels that have BCs on them). Surely, this is like the large packs of beer though - that are often out at the front of Ms but which some stocks do stock in their normal aisles and do have price SELs on them - as distinct from offer cards that I don't know how the APG collectors would ever get? Yet sometimes those packs of beer have occasionally returned N/A (suggesting maybe my theory is right and they just have stock out at the front in M and not the normal aisles where they collect data). Some Persil washing powder also failed me for me some years ago. That was out only at the front of my M and not in the aisles. The Surf - Mr A betttered their price through GC even though it was totally OOS, as far as I could see, in my stores (and I even mentioned - since I'm a true-teller:( - that I couldn't find any stock in my M but did have price labels that showed the £4.54 price).

    I did half my hair with the curly secret (will have to think of a nickname for it as so many of us are getting one :cool:)

    It's fab! It's easy to use, quick and painless. And the results are fab. u. lous :j
    Thanks for this QOC. I bought one in store in T's on Sunday for DD2 as an extra surprise for xmas as she always chooses her own presents (she usually just buys the things herself & I give her the money as she is hard to please). I have been wondering whether she would use it or to return it. Thanks to your review I have decided to keep it for her :T:T They actually had most of the black Friday deals still on sale in T's on Sunday including the Acer £179 laptop & I was tempted to buy one even though I didn't need one, I resisted the temptation though :rotfl:

    Hello TM & everyone :) xx
    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.

    That was me perky, yes of the pimple type. ;)

    But it was zippys roomy trousers that I quoted AJ about, I said he would have plenty of room in to enjoy himself and I meant to eat, drink and be merry on his cruise but it gave some people other ideas. :o

    Course I must be in the gutter with them as I knew what they meant after reading my post again. :eek:
