    Has anyone got Turnips by Weight on a womble showing a price for M? Or are they returning M as N/A? (I don't trust these price collectors on their loose veg. items.) There is a significant difference in price - A at £1.89/kg and I have M at 50p/kg:D. I never successfully managed to compare loose turnips on the APG years ago. They returned N/A. And that was when I didn't lose as much - A were already price-matched and M matched at a price much more expensive than their current one. (Unless they've walloped up the price between Wednesday and now.) I suspect they're N/A and therefore a buy in M. Has anyone got a price showing? Thanks.

    Meanwhile, the Savoy Cabbage has gone up in price in M from 50p to 63p (was returning N/A but I still wouldn't risk). And I thought I lost out on a womble but it seems I've actually gained:rotfl: - they missed the 400g Broccoli and Cauliflower Florets which should be A £1 vs M £1.26!:D (M was possibly even more expensive at the time of my womble, that's the latest price from Wednesday as I did notice the price collectors again had apparently missed it!) V.expensive either price. Frozen 900g ones in Aldi at 49p.

    Loose Swede is at straight 50p in M (or was on Wednesday). That works out at £1/Kg, however there have been loose swedes at 97p/Kg in M before when they weren't on that 50p "offer" price! Probably best to buy swede in M when it's not on big 50p signage as seems they sometimes have bigger swedes when they're higher priced:rotfl: (that actually, on weight, is slightly cheaper). In other words - always look at the price per kg.

    The Turnips are half the price though. APG is... N/A?:think: TIA.

    Either a womble - or just buy a tiny piece of a turnip on the next glitch and we'll then find out!

    Well not a lot to report on the glitch front.:(
    Hopefully there may be some changes overnight, but usually I can tell by now.

    Good news is that it looks like cheese and turkey mince will be glitching again today.:T

    :eek: what did you just do? A is having a technical hiccup now - you broke it :p

    So shall we start an 11pm -2am list? you have to be an insomniac and an alcoholic to join it and more importantly....that has to be offensive.

    I am still here, always have difficulties getting off to sleep even though I might have nodded off earlier in the middle of a prog.

    Deprived childhoods - yes I def did have one but we all have different levels of deprivation.
    As for letting go of stuff - yes it us a control issue.
    Now though I realise that I don't need to hang onto things and that by letting go you can unburden myself, physical things can weigh you down

    Right I am going to have another go at sleep :)

    How can I have more plants missing from my list?:eek::eek: Even after last time's update! Perhaps M comes into stock with further ones:cool:. (I don't know why I put them onto my list at £1 as they have store-specific reduced ones at 49p and 39p and 15p I saw the other day. Nonetheless, I'll continue the attempt at comprehensive collection that I've begun.) I now have an Alpine Perennial Carnation at £1 to add:eek:!

    As regards the Spring Bulbs, I have found some stock at 79p and other stock (sometimes of the same ones) at 78p. I thought one of the varieties had gone to 79p when I had that in a store the other week but others at 78p. I have now found one that is the same in a single store - some stock at 78p and some at 79p. The 78p one has a different BC to the 79p one - even though it's the exact same plant and, as far as I can see, the plant is completely identical. The product is called the exact same description - but different prices (presumably depending on how old the various stock is, depending on when each pot came into the store). So that's how they work out that they are different prices (different BCs). I'm not going to attempt to put a 78p and a 79p of each one onto my list - different BCs are technically two different items, as I would then have to give the precise same description for each of the two (of each variety) but then, to distinguish them, would have to give the BCs on each one - and I haven't found 78p and 79p of every plant I have on there, only one of them! I suspect they have 78p and 79p of all of them across their stores. Basically, it's the 78p one you want:cool:. I will do no more. I'm adding the separate £1 Carnation:rotfl:. And possibly something else later on, if that turns out to be something new.

    You are quite right about not liking to throw things away.
    I didn't have a deprived childhood, but by no means was my family well off and we did appreciate everything we had, which is why I am still very fond of tripe, ox heart, cow heel and trotters!:):)

    I don't eat internal organs or fungus :eek: and I get very appalled when bone marrow is a fashionable choice on cookery programmes :o anyone who has had a corkscrew inserted into their bone marrow would get insulted :o :cool: :rotfl:
