    Speaking of not seeing an item despite visiting numerous stores - see how I manage to link it in (it wasn't planned I assure you:rotfl:) - I have finally found the large Schwartz Grill Mates:j:D.

    Schwartz Grill Mates Marinade in a Bag Brazilian BBQ (200g)


    Store_2.15px.png
    £2.20 £1.10 / 100g
    Store_8.15px.png
    £1.00


    But I have (I think) only found this version and none of the other three that M has online. I think I have visited 69 Ms before then and I've found it in absolutely none of them at all. So, despite visiting all those Ms, and it finally turns up in the seventieth store!

    At least I now know what I am looking for - which is what I thought I was looking for before. It's not anything special or strange and not really in any odd location in the store. But, despite that, the racking in none of my other Ms before, and none of my regular Ms, has any of these 200g Grill Mates products at all. Given my difficulties, rhetorically do you think that if the APG visits 6 stores, it is likely to pick any of them up at all? From my stores - again it is only a sample and could be vastly under-representative, but it is nearly 14% of all Ms - they seem to be quite rare indeed in M overall (although the odd store that has them has enough stock - no indication of even their existence in the other stores as far as I have seen - it's possible I could have missed things and I may be under-representative of them).

    They come in twos though:rotfl: - as I later found the product in another M two stores on. I think it was just the Brazilian BBQ version in both and it is £1 SEL - but I need to check to see if I have two versions written down somewhere.

    So, they are certainly not an error on m.com and M does have them. As someone on here whose local M is the one I first found one of them in would know all along and has decided to stay quiet (as usual:D) and not tell me anything!

    Two stores out of 75:think: probably now in total - that's the same number of Ms as the total number in which I've found physical stock of the Cornetto 5 pack (excluding the grand total one day that I saw that they appeared in a single one of my regular stores and then totally vanished without trace as quickly as they came, seemingly never to come back since). And, speaking of Cornetto, there is a Cornetto (as far as I know only Classico but I could be wrong) 12 pack now in M (whichever M has it!:D) at £2.

    Cornetto Classico Ice Cream Cones (12x90ml)

    £4.00 37p / 100ml

    Don't know what this site is, but now found mention of them here:
    http://www.eastesale.co.uk/content/deals/7676--12-2-Morrisons.html

    I wouldn't go by the pack of 4 being £1.97 though:rotfl:. The 5 pack are regularly £1 (although the 12 at £2 would work out 'better') and the 4 pack go down to usual offers of £1 and some of them have been seen previously in M on RTCs as low as 50p.

    You're absolutely right it does and we have indeed made fab amounts in the past, so it's lovely to see the tradition carry on :D
