lol...I'm sure the post will be gone by the morning!

Do you know what? You should just not worry about it.

I've been posting very little for ages because every time I did post I was either being reported or worse, I drew nasty people on to the thread to have a go at me.

Since last night I've realised that people who are part of a private 'by invite' only group (which is fine by me) think they have the same sort of control on here and think they can control who posts and who doesn't by which ever means necessary. They don't. And , for goodness sake please don't let them.

It's very narrow minded to think you can go through life and just see things you like. it's even worse to think you can control it. It doesn't happen in real life and it shouldn't happen on the Internet.

That wasn't a go at anyone. Thanks to a couple of very nice people indeed I feel ok about posting for the first time in ages

Some of it is still good.:)

What I'm looking forward to is bubbs posting the hotdeals about the 10p items in M - see how long it takes for them to discover them:rotfl:. In fact I was thinking earlier how, if I had just stuck to my local Ms - those within "reasonable" distance - say approx. 15 mile radius - then I wouldn't know about many of the items at all.

Out of the 13 I have definite (and 3 - or even 4 - Cadbury's Snack Shortcake? - possible more), if I had only gone to my local Ms, I would have only 3 items. One of those (the Go Ahead! Orange Slices) I would only know about because of bubbs' post on here (which actually came from hotdeals - they beat me on just that one).

[Oh, they've found these:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sesame-snaps-30g-10p-morrisons-2427420

Thanks for that, confirmation that they were still there yesterday (or maybe now in another store and there now). I found them several weeks ago but haven't seen them since. I note one reply: "I need to get to Morrisons! Red hot!" However, I think they are unlikely to find them (like everything on cheap RTC though) - but someone will have them. Out of my 12/13 latest stores (I lose count of exactly how many:rotfl:), I have not got them at all. I'm definitely keeping them incessantly on my list though:rotfl:. It also doesn't mean that, if I've mentioned your store earlier, you won't have them - they could bring them out and put them onto the shelves at any time. So, maybe worth a check if you are already there - although I suspect (although I have no idea whether my samples are ever representative) that the vast majority of people won't have them in their M - and even 12 stores for me didn't turn them up in the last three days.]

Back to the latest 10p items, I have 13 and possible suggestions of a further 4. My local Ms would have indicated only 3 of the 17 total to me and I would know about a further one (total 4) only from bubbs' post on here. There are in fact a further 4 that have (or, until I bought them out earlier, have had) actual stock in my local Ms but I think I would have remained unaware about them had I just used my own stores. I would not have thought to have scanned one of them, as that is showing 50p RTC price in my M, and tbh I don't think I would have looked at a further two if I had not been aware, only from an M from afar, that one version of those was 10p (indicated to me in a store without stock).

As for the remaining item, that I have not even seen a 10p SEL for (and inevitable no stock) anywhere, I think I would have remained unaware, from my own stores, of any wider 10p situation existing at all and so would not have taken this item, unpriced on the SEL in my store, and checked it had I stuck with my own stores. I think it is highly likely that, at best, I would have thought it was still higher RTC price that I last saw it at and not thought to check it for 10p possibility (which it turns out it actually is) as I wouldn't even have known about there being lots of 10p items from my local stores. As this product now suggests another version is also at 10p, I wouldn't have had any indication about that either.

So, I reckon 17 possible (of which I am certain about 13) items and it's possible there may be more. I think I was very lucky even to stumble across the indication that the Belvita Forest Fruit were now 10p - and, without going to that one far-away store, I wouldn't have known about that at all. I say "stumble across" as it was just a chance finding, purely by the chance of me being at that M. Without the other stores, and sticking locally, I would have, I think, found only 3 - and bubbs would have told me a further one = 4 - even though there are/were 4 further items available to me in my local Ms (that I think I would have been unaware about had I not been elsewhere and twigged that there were more 10p items).

Had I stuck with the single store that I used to use when I first started doing the M list, I would have known about only 1 item - which I couldn't buy as there was the 10p SEL and no stock - and bubbs' post sadly wouldn't have helped me as that wasn't in this store at all for me (it was at one of my other local Ms - but I wouldn't have gone there). Therefore I would have been able to buy zero items from my original single store and would have put just a single item onto the M list (even though that has no stock for me and I couldn't therefore physically buy it). Even though in fact two different 10p items are available in my single original store - but I think I almost certainly would not have twigged to look for them - and they haven't been mentioned by bubbs or anywhere else that I can see - without me being aware of them from elsewhere.

So, empty-handed, a single item on my M list (for which my original store has no stock, the one item it's obviously told me about) although two further items available in my store and me assuming that they have remained at 50p* when the SELs have disappeared as they often remain the same price but I haven't got the ability to check every single time. What a wrong assumption - both are actually 10p (but would have remained on my list at the 50p price I last saw the SEL at that store for them for)!

*(and therefore keeping them on the M list at that and not having them at 10p at all)

Anyhow, a nice little tune before bed.:)

Only if you let them :cool:

You can take control by not responding.

However that is no fun

Bought one a couple of weeks ago for a few pence more - trying to remember exactly where ...... :doh:
I think they are supposed to be at least £9.99 if not £14.99

HOWEVER - BEWARE (IF you buy one)

Having a shower, thought I'd try it out.

Plunged my right foot in and :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

[...]

I didn't have a "Was" price as high as either of those prices - I don't remember what the "Was" price was as I don't keep that information but it was several pounds more (probably £3 something, £4 something) than the 98p and therefore probably, in truth, why I was prompted to take notice of the item and its price. So, in that sense, the 'reference price' (the "Was" price they stated) did have some effect in getting me to take the details. I'm sorry about your experience with them, although at least I've managed to beat your price so maybe I've done something right and found a good price:rotfl:.

I don't think people will be able to buy more than one, as there was probably only one on the shelf. However... moving from Gloucestershire to Staffordshire, I have some more details of other items. There are "a number" (I found three) of ILuv Flexi Gel Case for I-Pad at 79p on the RTC shelf at M in Leek. I thought that was a good item there. I've even left you all three as I didn't have any need for the item myself. The other, maybe good, item there is a Disney Pull Top Sipper at 45p. I'm not sure if it is any good and think it may need washing quite a bit - but, if you are there anyway, have a look and see what you think. Leek M has also got one of the Fridge Magnets (Mothers' Day legacy) on the RTC shelf at 25p down from 50p. There's a Letter to Santa page, again I keep finding these Christmas items, there at 5p. There's also Hello Kitty 8 Loom Bags at 20p. I am not sure whether there are still 8 bags in the RTC product though, that may have been damaged and then the plastic wallet they are in stapled back together. But apparently no 10p biscuits there or anywhere else in the store when I checked:(. (I don't know if they will appear later or suddenly appear at some time - you can give a go from time to time.)

I don't know whether this next one is any good as I think relatively few people will live close enough to make it worthwhile travelling to get the item. Maybe pick it up if anyone is ever going to Alton Towers:rotfl:. On the RTC at M in Cheadle, Staffordshire, there is a Koto Mobile Phone Charger at 18p. I think I become hazy here as I am suspecting I may not have taken the price down correctly. It's down from 48p though - I don't know whether they are regularly available at that price in other Ms as... :rotfl::rotfl: I haven't seen the item before in any of the 70+ Ms I've visited. The one on RTC at this store - the container may be a little battered - it looks okay to me but I am no expert at all in these things.

Quite right!

I have never witnessed Kielbasa eaten without ketchup, this would be some sort of crime I believe :cool: ( a bit like drinking tea with milk over there lol)

And where is the accompanying wodka....? More important even than the ketchup :T

Hi Mildred,

Goodnight Mildred
