    I assume people are already aware of Creighton's Argan or Keratin Shampoo or Conditioner 250ml at £1 in M. And the three own brand versions of shampoo, and three of conditioner, same volume, that are currently 92p in M. Not really our prices for shampoo or conditioner:rotfl:. These are available in one of my regular stores, and have been for ages, but I haven't seen fit to consider them any good to mention. There's probably more Creighton's that I have yet to see:rotfl:.

    There are also some Ultime knocking around in M somewhere - I saw one on Saturday - it had price of £2.50 on the SEL. These were RTC ages ago in my local stores with, as I recall at the time, a lot of confusion about prices of £1.50 in some stores and £2.50 showing in others. (I felt they wouldn't compare and, anyway, those prices are too much for us:eek::rotfl:.) They've had this product still in the store so long it now seems it's not showing for A at all now online.

    North Staffordshire Oatcakes (6) are Avs W 79p. Not quite 10% cheaper:rotfl:. They do not compare against M I understand. M 85p. However, whoopsies may be cheaper. So, if they are not of the 'reduced sticker' variety and if they appear at cheap price on the APG itself, maybe a filler vs M N/A:rotfl:. They obviously don't check the right M stores:D. Obviously, this is a local product only available to those of you in North Staffordshire, South East Cheshire or wherever else they happen to have them. I've now seen them in Ms in Nantwich, Crewe, Newcastle-under-Lyme Town Centre, Newcastle-under-Lyme Lower Milehouse Lane and Stoke on Trent. Earlier in the week:rotfl:. They may sell them in some bigger stores down south I understand.

    It looks like W may only just have gone on offer, so may need to wait another day before that might get picked up. Unless you are going the appearing whoopsie route (I hope they appear:D) then obviously you don't want Avs W 79p:eek: but a nice N/A would be good:D.

    I presume the APG might pick up local products in the M stores that they happen to check!:rotfl:

    Keep an eye on the Dove Shampoos and Conditioners (250ml) that are currently showing £5.98 on a.com. Surely we are due a multi on them soon:think:. [Strike]They are each £3 in M.[/Strike] They were each £3 in M last Wednesday. I was going to say hopefully the APG will pick them up when the favourable time comes. However :(I notice the offer has ended in M yesterday (17/1) according to msm. These were "new" items, of the old type, on Wednesday as they just gone onto offer and I picked them up in my usual primary store. Thank goodness for that:rotfl:. Makes a change not to be missing something for months:p. However, I've not checked for them elsewhere:doh: since I already had accounted for them and was looking for items I didn't have.

    We may still be in luck if A puts a quick offer onto them, in the next day or two - but not much more:( - as the APG's prices for M from last Wednesday should now stay until Thursday this week! I'm putting them onto the M list with their full A prices and M price, fwiw:wall:.

    The end is now in sight!:D:)

    Once I've finished my final incomplete:p list, for this period, if you're outside Northern Ireland, I'd check through the "full" list, if you are buying anything in T (or maybe in A), that items you're buying do not appear on the M list, to make sure you are not overpaying if you were targeting other shops than M. Or even if you are targeting M (best of luck:D), to check the amount that you should be paying as you can probably be sure that their sums will be wrong. There are obviously lots of items missing from m.com and therefore msm if you are using that (and also the new offers today in M will not appear on the APG until Thursday at the earliest, if they ever do, so go by my list for the prices the APG should be on rather than updated prices on msm/m.com as these won't be last Wednesday's prices).

    No responsibility taken for any disputes regarding the pricing on my list! Bear in mind also that TBG will update to Monday's prices for M (such as TBG collectors get them:p) whilst my list is still stuck on last week. HTH.

    A correction to make:eek:. And it's taken me a while - it's the next item in my notes! Just that I said that the own brand popcorn was 88p and 2 for £1.50 in M (as opposed to that big carton of Butterkist at 50p in some M stores only). I was looking at msm:doh::rotfl:. The actual price of M popcorn in M, I noticed on Wednesday, was 75p and 2 for £1.35. Still a lot more expensive than 50p for a lot less weight than that particular Butterkist:rotfl:.

    I've actually done a better job picking up Pyrex dishes this time (I tend sometimes to miss them - they tend sometimes to be too dear for me even on the offers:rotfl: - but I know some people find them useful:cool:) - they are available in my regular stores but, bizarrely, I've had more time over the last week to take the details down:cool::eek::rotfl:. Unfortunately :doh:these were M's prices last week so they are therefore just as a guide.

    Weetabix 72 £3.95 in Iceland (it's actually 72 for 48 according to their website but msm has it wrongly under the different product Weetabix straight 72).

    Or, not far behind, £4 in A for straight 72 pack. Definitely not an APG item it seems - much more expensive everywhere else, so it's a buy straight. If it's not too much of a muggle's offer:rotfl:. Or Tvs A or Sains BM vs A - not tried on either.

    Alternatively, 72 for 48 pack in M at £4. Price :doh:, as of last week. Obviously the price of the 48 pack is much more expensive there than it is in A, T or S.:p

    72 for 48 for M not going onto the list, because Iceland is cheaper!:D

    That's it, I've finished the M list for now, from all the information I have!:j:j:j:D And it's not too late at night as well (for me:rotfl:). That's it - I'm going for now!

    I know the Baxter's soups are 50p in M, but not making the list as mere 10% off not good enough:D. So, the list is now complete isn't it? (Shakes head:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.)

    The weather is not too nice - I think it may be improving but it's still not a very good day to go out. Certainly not wise to be travelling unnecessarily. So, I don't need to go out today - and APG is only updated once a week now we're told - so I'm not doing Monday, I'm having a day off! TBG will be more up to date than me (presumably on the limited range of stuff it gets:D:() for a few days until I catch up with the prices again on Wednesday. So, watch out for changes in prices in M for TBG as it may differ from my list! Not sure many would be comparing against M in any event:rotfl::rotfl: - unless it's a meal deal "glitch", or anything that gives you more, I'd just buy in M!

    I may just buy the odd essential item or so if I go out in the next day or two, as obviously I need it. So, I'll see you later (may be a couple of days' time - watch there now be a huge set of glitches:(:rotfl::T). Next stop, for here, such as can be, I think is the usual 'full' Wednesday collection in the usual stores, such as can be, and then I might have some more new Ms towards the end of the week (absolutely bound to have stuff missing even after now:eek::rotfl:).

    Enjoy the biggest ever M list - and I wonder what the APG picked up (which I expect continues until it updates on Thursday) from its presumably vastly inferior number of stores and whatever they became aware of in M from those stores. You certainly won't find everything on the list in a single M store - and, if you can, I'd love to know where that store is! (Or, actually, I'd now like a store that has everything I haven't currently got.) But you might stand a chance of finding some of the items in M now (on 'buy in M' - but don't buy everything on there please:rotfl::() if you're shopping at an M other than my own and, if you're at my own, they'll be lots more items on the list that you now can't find:rotfl::rotfl:! If you're at a store I haven't visited, which is likely, of course you'll find lots of items there that the list has missed:rotfl::rotfl::eek::(:rotfl::D. (There's no harm in letting me know of further items if you think I am missing them.)

    Just to explain (I should by this point have gone to bed:rotfl:), the bold this time is the offers that were new on Wednesday (includes last Monday that was only checked then) plus the items that were completely new to me:o(:rotfl:) and the items that I was aware of before but which were wrongly deleted as I thought M no longer stocked them when in fact it appears they've continually still stocked them for months:eek:! I've just added some more Old El Pasos on there - they weren't missed, or picked up from the extra stores, they were just the normal price collection part which I've only just got to!:rotfl: (Hopefully my stores had all the versions:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    See you later - goodbye for now!:D:wave::wave::A

    If you've not yet bought, and don't think there's a very good chance of a DTD:

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=277208826

    Just noticed this as I was looking at the M list (for a final check) and noted I have the 50p floss there crossed off and referred to T at 37p. I notice T's offer due to expire today (but may of course be rolled over later - I think it has already rolled over once). It has been mentioned on the list for sometime, so, people, you have had time!:D
