LL the double decker was the failure...I posted a list last night of the eggs that worked...It was re-posted today....

I did two shampoo/cond shops about 6pm. Both have failed.

Definitely the right products. Here's the results of the second shop. Price at Morries came out about the same as Asda.

vs M for Savvy

2x Rowntree's Randoms Easter Egg (250G) £10.00 £8.34
2x Cadbury Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations Large Easter Egg (291G) £10.00 £6.66
2x Mars Easter Egg (280G) £10.00 £10.00

Yeah, expecting me to put it onto the list:eek: but Sains on some is cheaper:rotfl:.

4 of the Randoms and Creations bought, so 2 Mars should have picked up 6 (2x 3 for £10), however the Mars has not picked it up (it seems we may have been on last Wednesday after all - but your results are now locked in so we can't see what current Monday collection is returning) so on the above shop we have got M mbuy on the two Creations plus one of the Randoms has picked it up in conjunction with the Creations and one of the Randoms returned M full price:(.

Just haphazard:( - imagine that they'd picked up the mbuy on some of them but not on the Mars. The SELs in M would I think cover them all (although I can't see what exactly is being presented to them, how the SELs look in their M stores) but people I suspect not being complete once again and putting only some of them into the offer. Human error:p:rotfl:.:(

If I were doing it, I'd be there - doing it fully and completely but taking forever and a day to do so. Most people appear to take less time, but haven't done everything that needs to be done - and, if they did, it would take them the same time as me. Or maybe I am more efficient:rotfl:. However, although I've criticised the price collectors in the past for being like 'most people', I think to some extent my critique wasn't valid as I didn't realise some time ago that some items they were missing might, indeed, not be in the Ms they are checking - even if they check as many as six of them. Given all the items I was missing - and still am no doubt! - from checking not nearly enough stores:eek: - and, at my 67th, I will still find items that I haven't got in any other previous store. Different range of items in every M.

No luck today with the 'world food' item whose price I am in doubt about yesterday - wasn't in the store I checked today. I did not expect it to be - and it is a 'smaller' store (or maybe that's my perception) but it did give me several more items and the price increase on the dog chub item that I did not get from yesterday's bigger stores - the chub seems to be in the smaller stores (for me) more than the bigger ones - it was at 50p originally in one of the smaller stores where I picked the original offer up from - but it's now off as checked now in yet another store from that one. I did not deliberately go to a smaller store (although the larger ones I've had did not have this item) - it was just where I happened to be today. The world food items particularly are ones where only some of the range (and I am sure there is a lot missing that I have yet to come across, even from 67 stores, as different items are found in different stores) is found in each M - and some Ms don't have much of a world foods range at all. Good news though - "expanded world foods range" says one of my regular stores. Which doesn't have a full range yet:rotfl:. There's another store - I saw on Saturday - distant from me - in which there is also a notice proclaiming an "expanded world foods range" - and it does have quite a lot of the range, that I have to pick up from two or three stores. I have, every week, from my regular stores, only some of the items in my main store and some of them in the other. It's this foods area, in particular, where about a third of what I have is in each of my regular three stores.

A week before, when I started at a more distant store, it didn't have the one third that I get from my main regular store - which I then went via and visited as my second store on that date - or from my other main store (the other third) that I ended up with. I have to get KTC Veg Oil and Panapol Stuffed Cabbage from one M but Kurachek Veg Cubes from another. A third has the Veg Cubes but not the Cabbage:rotfl:. To not help with it, I have a store where they never put any mbuy offers on any of their world foods range so, even when the KTC Veg Oil is in there, which it isn't always, it never has any mbuy showing. Same position on the KTC tins - although we know the APG does get the mbuy on those. That's why I am sometimes clueless about any offer on KTC tins in M at all:rotfl:.

On Saturday, in this "expanded world foods" store, which is more expanded that the "expanded" one that is one of my regulars, they actually had the Veg Cubes, the KTC Oil and the Panapol Cabbage! First time I've seen all of those in the same store! AS for the Krakus Sauerkraut - don't start me there - different prices showing in different stores for me sometimes, since they never change the SELs in my main store:(:rotfl::rotfl:. One or two other items don't get changed in other stores, and maybe the small store farther away (obviously not my own small store:(:rotfl: - I have to travel out!) is the only one that I find with full offer showing!:) Before then, I know from msm:rotfl:, but haven't seen any M showing an offer - until :(one out of four eventually ends up, for me, doing so. Let's hope they don't use my stores:rotfl::rotfl:!

It's the risk - sorry, we sometimes have it.
This was my very wanting more to be on last M Wednesday's pricing than on yesterday's. I saw the possibility and sadly it's happened for people who shopped later:(.

I know I'd much rather be on the old M prices on the system than the new.

I was commenting in relation to Ultimate Blends, but I was also thinking, to some extent, in connection with the Herbal Essences. There was always the risk that full price on those might be picked up:(.
