    a post has been removed.

    Presumably that exempts all 'oldies' like me from the rule:D:D:j. Only joking:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I don't know why it sounds tantalising that "a post has been removed":D:rotfl:naughty:.:o:o

    :cool:

    The M list is now updated to the crossing out of the items whose old M prices will eventually expire on the APG (if they were ever picked up last Wednesday in the first place). Nothing that I now add to the list will work on the APG until a later part of Thursday and that assuming that they stay at those prices in M on Wednesday and that the APG collectors pick it up then (I am assuming the only collection per week is now on the Wednesday - otherwise, in any event, the products are not going to work until later on Thursday unless they somehow picked up a glitched price last time, if they ever work even on Thursday onwards).

    If you are using msm before whenever the update is actually made on Thursday, you do need to consider what the prices in M were last Wednesday as there has been a lot of change - which I assume is also now reflected on msm or will soon be reflected on there - that will not be in the APG until at least Thursday even if it ever is.

    So, if you see a very good offer price for M on msm, you need to check, for now, whether the item, or price, is in bold on my list. If it is, then it's not going to work! (Or it's extremely unlikely except if there is an unlikely glitch etc.) The WW frozen meals were 87p in M last Wednesday though, but I doubt they'll have that price on the APG unless anyone shows me that one of them is picking it up - otherwise I reckon they will pick up full price. I think they are likely to pick up 87p after Thursday's update. That still works out, technically, at slightly more expensive:( than the frozen Bisto meals vs their straight price (i.e. with no glitch). But when would you ever not consume the whole of a ready meal? Would there ever be a bit than you could cut off and not defrost, otherwise you are having to consume the whole lot within a short space of time after doing so?

    The Douge Egberts (190g) are now £3 in M. I don't think they were that last week as they have now pulled them out to the front of the stores in my Ms - they were not there last week. However, at least one that has been tried does not work on the APG (which I think, probably, they weren't £3 last Wednesday) so that won't work at all much of this week.

    There are some Nescafe Original 300g for the price of 200g at £3 in M. That is a better price per 100g than is stated on the SEL as they do not take account the 'extra free'. Ignore the straight 200g jars that may be out at the front of your M store:rotfl:.

    Sadly, I don't think A's straight 300g Nescafe Original will work on the APG - it's a different product from 300g for the price of 200g. And we'd need to be waiting until Thursday in any event:wall::doh:. I think, when it is eventually updated, it's going to pick up £7 on the 300g and not £3. I could always be wrong. However, for that, and for having to wait the best part of the week (or worst, for those of you at work), I just wouldn't bother with the 30p 10%, that's unlikely to be, and just get them in M. (Unfortunately, for the same reason, I think TBG is out of the question - it's even more specific in its T&Cs about this, although the T&Cs could always not be followed strictly, perhaps in the (unlikely?) event that the agency collectors make an error.)

    For anyone doing the Approved/wowcher deal, make sure you spend at least £20 on *goods* because it won't apply the discount to postage.
