Good lad I thought about you this weekend. We had an Indian takeaway on Friday that was so much it lasted over to tonight. Proper pakora, to die for spiced onions.....it was fab the spiced onions aren't available as standard but I asked about them and they delivered them as I wanted them. Their raita is actually to die for. I've broke out a pack of poppudoms my way! so I can finish it this is good.....I've not been eating much lately.

I was going to go - there is so much to mention - but I'll just mention another few things. The Disney baby products (except presumably the Water Filled Teether that was spotted at 25p several weeks ago) have now gone down again, now to 50p RTC. With the M price being lower, the 10% amount is lower too. Even if a couple of them ever managed to compare on the APG, I would be buying in M as this has missed the Wednesday price collection day - I believe they were 75p on Wednesday. So, that another item that would have been paid too much for:( - I think I won't bother with RTCs unless they go to 50p:rotfl: (and, with the Water Filled Teether having shown 25p, maybe that is too high!).

Many of what were what I call the "RTC lollies" do appear to have, indeed, gone up in price earlier this week in M. The Rowntrees Mini Randoms have shot right up - from 98p to £2.23!:eek: Others are off too - the Maxibon, the Fab Mini 12s and the Star Wars Lightsaber. However, the Cornetto Cookies n Cream are still at £1.02 and the Fruit Shoot Lollies are still 96p. I don't know about the Nestle Toffee Crumble Sticks as I only ever found one store that still had those a few weeks ago and I'm unable to check as they weren't in any of the 8 Ms (some old, most new) that were tried just now.

I have had some porridge pots on RTC 70p on my list (Avs M attempt). However, M have now put some Oat So Simple pots on offer - but the offer is now said to be due to end today (14/2). I've written individual prices of 97p and £1.15 and 2 for £2, but that can't be right if some are 97p each. I thought it was 2 for £1, as it looked odd at £1.15 and 2 for £1 - but could well be the case. So, if you think 50p is good enough for a porridge pot, try two of them and see if they are 2 for £1 - that offer is certainly not even on the SELs of all stores - and you'll have to rectify my failing on this. I have it as being the 57g-76g ones: so, Blueberry & Banana 57g, Summer Berries 58g, Apple & Blueberry 57g, Strawberry Raspberry & Cranberry 57g, Sweet Cinnamon 57g, Honey & Vanilla 57g, Caramel 57g, Golden Syrup 57g - but why would you? as also Big Pot Golden Syrup 76g on the offer and Big Pot Oiriginal 67g.

I think it's been mentioned that Oetker pizzas are on £1 until 22/2. I did not have that on Wednesday at all though - I had much higher pricing, so maybe it's solely a preview for APG purposes and will need to wait until after Monday's collection is in the system (assuming they remain at £1 in M on Monday).

The Mixed Primrose on BC 0 234995 00503 is now 50p but a different BC, which appear to be older stock, are still 70p. I could no longer find the Pot Mum in my regular stores over the last two weeks, but suspected they were still £1 somewhere. And they are - sort of! The ones on BC 2 332810 601008 are £1, which I reckon are older stock, but there are others on another barcode (and some stores now only have these) that are £1.78.

I've also managed to find the store in which the Harris Masking Tape (19mmx25m) is £1:(. Most stores I've seen have it on 87p offer until sometime in May. I do not know how in the store where it scans at £1 they can have £1 price label with the Price Crunch logo both next to that on the shelf itself and protruding from a ticket stuck out from the shelf, but maybe it was even higher in that store at some time! As far as I know, from all other stores that I've seen that have the product, it has been regularly £1 before and, in stores except this one, it is now 87p. It scans as 87p in at least one store that has 87p showing on the shelf. Maybe, in the £1 store, we are in a parallel universe in which things that get "crunched" suddenly spring back out again and expand, like chopping the head off the Hydra snake only for more heads than were ever chopped off to appear back again.

The AB Roast Potatoes (1.5Kg) are still available in some Ms at their £1.50 price - as you know full well if those are your stores! I do not know if these will still be in the APG stores: they disappeared from all my regular stores but I suspected they might still be available but, after more weeks go by, I start to doubt it. My regular stores plus some further stores did not turn up the product. But, some further stores still - and I have found two stores that still have it. I think it's probably less likely to be picked up now - but then again if they happen to have been using one of these stores all along then they could still do. One of the stores with it, however, also has the Taj Crushed Ginger and I think I have a womble from a shop done the other day on which that returns N/A. It really does depend which stores you use as to what information you end up with. You get a completely different perspective depending on which Ms you happened to visit.. On some items, the shelving looks completely different as the items I am looking for are not there at all in some stores.

An example is the 50p own label cereal bars. My regular stores have been giving me doubt about those: with a product but no SEL on one and a SEL but no product on the other and an OOS label, with a faint suggestion of possibly something available that isn't in that store. So, I've been having my doubts. Visit other stores and there's no trace at all. Yet if I had just gone to another store, which I've been at today, if that was my main store I would have had no problems or thoughts of doubt at any stage at all: the shelves there are totally clear and both products in stock and with full 50p SELs for both. So, I've been having vague hints from my 'own' stores but, in one of the stores I've now seen, it is beyond doubt. The APG - even if it sees one of the M items are comparable - might have no trace at all if they happen to use six stores that don't have even any indication of the products and are worse than even my regular ones on this one. I haven't seen the Oat So Simple Warm & Crunchy that was at 50p in any of the eight, or my regular stores now, and haven't seen for quite some time the Kellogg's All Bran Mueslis that were £1. I suspect they've gone - but, the moment I think that, I often find items again later. They may possibly be around in some M, but I think they are unlikely to work now. But that's because I haven't seen them in any of the recent 11 different stores. This may be the usual 'each new store gives further items' and, maybe if I'd gone a different place, I would have found them - even though I'm doubting it!

I am giving the JF Blow Out Spray - £6 and on 3 for £10 offer in A - and £2:D in M a greater chance now than what I thought before. But, again, that's just because I happen to have come across it in more stores. Had I picked other ones, I could have had no further sighting of any product or any SEL for it. One of the stores I have now has the SEL at £4:(. I have found a further three that have the £2 SEL - two of them have stock. It just depends which stores they go to. If they pick the £4 one and don't have any others at £2, then they may compare against twice the real M price:(. If they happen to pick six stores and none of them at all has any indication of it, they may be N/A:(:(. But, out of my 11, I now have four stores with the SEL for the product showing £2 and a further one with it showing £4. In the others, there isn't even any SEL at all for the product and the product isn't stocked: it's like looking at a completely different shelf again! It could be now is around the best chance for this against M, with more stores at the moment that do have it before it goes OOS in many of them.

That's enough for now - there is lots, lots more. I am not so much tracking current items as finding completely new ones instead:rotfl:. As usual, completely new items, new items coming into stock in various stores, items come in and out all the time, and completely new ranges that I have never seen before:rotfl:.
