Gammon was all £3.75/kg in my M
I consoled myself with free oreos courtesy of ST
Did you scan them at the till/SS or did you just see "£3.75/kg" on them and assume that they were?
I've got a confession to make...
Like me:o:o:o:rotfl:. I only saw the prices on the shelf and, from that, would never have known of any issue that I needed to check. So, thank you to everyone on here for noticing the one item that I've missed!:T:T:rotfl: I'll add it to my information (probably be over by the time if/when it ever gets to my list) and then it's complete isn't it?:rotfl::( Er, no - spent some time staring at shelves for items that don't exist - my useless stores in my local area again - I've obviously picked up a load of items from goodness knows where that are not in any of my stores at all. Had I gone to different stores, I would be coming back with totally different information to what I have - it's like that today and a lot of conflicting prices due to unchanged SELs as well as IMO unnecessarily changed SELs - this is a red herring as other stores will be different - indeed, are different - but one M today I had Penguins at 67p on the end aisle but showing full price £1.40 on the main run:eek:. Meanwhile, the Go Ahead!s were the opposite position - £1 on the aisle end:( but 67p in the main run. I have no idea why the Casserole Veg. has gone back up to £1.12 price when the 87p is on until at least April according to three - yes, three:eek::( - other stores! These are definite red herrings though - as I suspect they won't have this problem in the APG stores.
Consistent among all my stores, the 1Kg Carrots - will not compare - have gone up in price from crossed out 60p to 47p. That's what I see from that 'offer' - they were 43p last Wednesday/Thursday. So that's another price increase making you think it is a price reduction. The 600g £2.50 peanuts scanned at £1, as expected. And there still is some Irn Bru 4x500ml at 50p in at least one M. The £2.99 Carex (500ml) went through at £1 - in my fourth store, after I'd still not trusted two other stores' £1s on it - because, by then, I had two at full price vs two at £1. I scanned everything except Gammon:rotfl:.
After I had one specific Quaker Warm & Crunchy - I never remember which one it is, it's the one that is on my list - suddenly reappear one Wednesday in one store for me at 50p, then the following Monday be in neither of two stores for me (but I still suspected it was somewhere), then appear in two stores at the same time:D (Wednesday last time) - but now they've vanished without trace for me again today and I've gone N/A - but still going to leave it on the list on the basis of 'it's got to be somewhere'. It just shows how, possibly from you could take it as being from six stores as I did three on Wednesday and three different ones on Thursday, it may be found or may not - I've been off and on and back off and on on it throughout the last two months - but could you ever hit the right moment with the APG? You just would never know when they had it and did not, unless it haphazardly was bought on a womble that showed it, at that moment, working (or not).
I think the Adidas deos at £1 are dodgy - out of very recent stores, just one out of 8, possibly worse than that - and that one store now may no longer have any evidence of them (unable to revisit it). Of my "own" stores, I only ever had it in my first one and that one was totally OOS but had the SELs left behind last Monday. They have never been in any of my other nearby stores as far as I can tell. By Wednesday, the first store were with no evidence of ever having had the product and it was nowhere else for me - it did not turn up in three other different stores on Thursday either and it's not turned up in my fourth nearby store which I ended up going to today. They may be out there somewhere, but I think the chances of the APG finding them are very slim - but that's only because I am having a hard time finding them. Not that I want them personally:rotfl:, just for my price check!
Just to mention the Vac. Packed Pork - though I know people are only interested in Gammon:rotfl: - 1.5Kg at £3 is therefore at a fairly 'good' price of £2 per Kg (fairly good in old days anyway:rotfl:) but I'm going to miss it as I'm still chasing around after the 1.5Kg frozen version at £2.72:rotfl::wall::cool:.
Fwiw, the Chicago Melts - including the Pepperoni that currently fails on the APG (picks up M at full price £1.98:() - are now in more clear £1 state in my Ms. Which they weren't last week. So, fwiw, APG might work on them after the update in a few days' time.
I am beginning to think (big mistake!) that the Pepsi 30 cans packs may have gone now. Of course they haven't:rotfl: - they're in some M that I just haven't seen! However, this includes my trips around other stores in the past week and therefore me not being able to find them anymore in any of the stores. I'm not finding them - even though, yet again, now at possibly the ninth store in a week, if I were to go to another M, as store number 10, the Pepsi cans packs could now be one of the additional items that I get from 'each new M' that have been in none of the previous stores. This does, it seems to me, suggest that they are becoming rarer and I now think the APG's chances of finding them, if they are anywhere and I'm 'sure' they must be, are pretty slim. This may have worked early last week - but I don't think it will work from here on in. Cue the wombles now to buy them from the foyers of my As:(:rotfl:.
Those a few dodgy items, plus the pork that is very slightly not good enough to make my list. Might be looking at some gammon instead though:D. I don't think there will be a great issue on the Penguins/Go Aheads! - however I did my shopping for those over the weekend just gone as I wanted to get in at the time I felt they were most likely to work on the APG. They do currently work - I don't want that position to be upset. But there's a possibility (slim maybe - there always is) that it may change. The offers are on in M only until tomorrow, supposedly, so that on Wednesday I expect to see full prices in M - or at least nothing anywhere near as good as what they currently are!
The 10 for £2 Mullers in M continue, allegedly until March. The White French Stick offer (2 for £1) has it seems been extended until 13th March. However, not that you would know that from many of my stores:rotfl::(. Or, it seems, from stores out on Thursday. Only one store out of the nine or so has displayed any mbuy for them as far as I have seen. I think this will not work on the APG - so few stores seem to be showing it! Today, from my four stores, I would have thought from 3 out of 4 of them that the offer was not on. The first - the only one ever to show it before - still had it up but it says until 21st February, so I thought it was expired. The second store only had the Tiger Baguettes at 2 for £1 and the White Stick just had 75p on it. I did not take two to the till for scanning. Third store, again no mbuy showing. Only the fourth store revealed a 2 for £1 on the White French Stick until 13th March. Given how few seem to be showing it, I would not be surprised if it failed on the APG (picked up M at 75p x2). The Tiger Baguette ought to work - as long as they find stock - as they have 2 for £1 printed on them. However, I only really like them when they are 50p straight (they tend to go from 50p to 2 for £1 and back to 50p) - due to any invisible trigger at A having to rely on that number and 2 for £1 being of no use in that eventuality - of course whoopsies would be cheaper.
The 10" pizzas that were £1 are immediately now £2.60 and 2 for £4 in M:( - so, they have shot right up, on any reasonable view IMO, and are going to be crossed out. The frozen Oetker pizzas are obviously not now £1 either. However, Chicago Town Takeaways from a few days' time and here on in...:D0 -

I'm afraid cheap and Iceland do not go together. As an example I bought a bunch of 7 bananas from the local supermarket (Bonus) which cost the equivalent of £4.50 :eek: I paid 69p for 6 bananas of the same size as the Iceland ones I bought in Tesco on Sunday
I've spent ages reading this paragraph wondering what you were on about spring dreams :rotfl:

A big thank you to ANON
Edit will repost better comp to Morries
Sorry that both didn't work - very annoying when they are not picked up as they should be.
I know some may consider it bad form, but you could always return some as you have bought too many ...
I haven't had chance to order yet as the store I found them available to order in is quite a trek (and we have "a few" from previous offers) - but worth nothing to buy only one flavour
