To be fair I don't have differences in prices on lots of products between different stores, although there are some on every collection. At the moment it is mainly these RTC items that vanish without trace from the stores in which the really cheap prices were displayed.

As regards other items on which I don't trust the prices I am seeing in my first store of a collection, I don't actually check the price of every product in every store (that is the 'good' prices which I am getting). I check for the 'good prices' for every product - ignoring clothing - in whichever M I am using first on the price collection day. I then have a list of outstanding items, from my previous list on here, which are not in that store but which I expect I might find in whichever store I am using next of the day.

Once in the next store, I check for these items together with any items that gave me queries or doubts about their pricing from the first store (that I was unable to resolve by scanning in that store and I am unable to scan everything). These are usually items that are already on my list - has that product really gone up in price or is this item really this price? Sometimes there are items that I had to leave unsatisfactorily in the first store - for example if I couldn't satisfactorily resolve their price and had to leave if I was pushed for time and nearly about to hit rush hour or, sometimes, :doh: I forget to check items in the first store which I meant to check - and I then use the second store.

Once in the second store, I also have a look around in case there are some offers that weren't showing in the first store (or for whatever reason I may have missed them - I rarely do though, I contend) - tbh however this isn't a full check of the store (which would lengthen that visit to at least two hours rather than the aim of usually about thirty minutes in the second store) - it's usually aisles in which I am already visiting to check something outstanding and then quick looks around elsewhere - sometimes these go on and on (a bit like this post:laugh::rotfl:) - and I aim to get everything (that I think hits a good price) - of course I won't get everything since every store stocks only part of M's range:rotfl::rotfl: - and when I have enough, or think I've captured almost everything that I need to capture, I then leave.

It then depends on whether there are enough items outstanding after that - which were not in the first or the second store - and any further ones that, even with two stores, I am still in doubt about their actual price - as to whether I go onto a third store. Sometimes I am happy with the prices - in that I think they won't have changed - on items that I haven't seen - or sometimes, instead, I would like to see more, either to resolve a price or because there are a larger number of outstanding items. If it is just one or two items, I may not bother with the third (or fourth) store. However, if it is many more, then I will go to another store - and then, hopefully at that, have resolved the prices and have got it down to only about one or two items that I could really do with seeing but which I haven't done so that day.

Sometimes I leave the second store (or third) with the impression that there are still new offers that I have missed. However, I resolve this between Monday and Wednesday: as, usually, my second store on the Monday becomes my main, first store on the Wednesday and then I do a full walk of the 'second store' (last time) to pick up what would not have been picked up because no queries arose on it from the first store last time and the first store didn't display an offer that was on a product in a place that I didn't see in the second store on Monday. There's usually not many extra that I believe arise that way - although I could not tell, as the prices may have been on on Monday but I didn't see them or they may be new on Wednesday when I see them - but I don't think I miss much, even though, sometimes, I have the impression (despite looking around almost everywhere in the second, or third, store) that there's still more to find and I've probably missed something and I go in as many places of the second store as I can. I then go around the third store (if used) and then the fourth - and still picking up additional things in those. Sometimes I've been left with the impression that there may be the odd few things that I haven't caught - but I've done enough and it's the best I can do until I do a full check of the same store (or a full check of another one) on the Wednesday that will hopefully then capture anything that was missed as well as a few more as well.

It's my houseguests grandparents golden wedding anniversary party tomorrow. I promised I'd be there and I will. I've got a whole bucket full of extra polyfilla and an extra large trowel. And a frock to die for:D

After that I'm booking myself into a hotel for the weekend. I need a weekend without the mask I put on for my family that says ' I'm ok don't worry about me' and they really do need a break. we all need time to be ourselves for a while.
Things are as hard on them as they are on me and we all need time out.

VT......this is number 2 and 3 on my list I'm getting there!

I don't often come here anymore, especially when I saw that there was some trouble going on involving you and at the time I wasn't in a place to read back and find out why.
But I did pick up about your illness and im so very sorry. you have always been the person I look for when I do visit here and I have been walking alongside you on your journeys over the years.
Im glad to see you are back among the group here, maybe I'll get my mojo back and joing in now and again too.
I lost my Mum very suddenly and totally out of the blue a few weeks ago and Im really struggling to come to terms with it. Im now into my 8th week off work and dont quite know how I will ever be normal again.
Enjoy your time away on your own FC, I had planned doing the same this week but hubby went away with work, so I had my own private hotel (home) all to myself. There are times when you dont want people to try to make things better for you, you just need to be......

Internet not brilliant but just ok :cool:

I like the look of that shampoo, what's the deal on it please and against who?

I liked the look of £6.99 items as well when I first saw that price. Sadly it was not the JF Sea Spray that I'm hopeful may compare against M at £1.24, so we just don't know:(. I think it stands a fair chance right now. (And you've seen what happens on my own collection when really good price (for people buying them elsewhere, not good for us of course:D) items disappear from stores.)

I hope the Beach Blonde Smooth Seas Detangling Conditioner is good at the moment too.

I think the JF Luxurious Volume Blow Out Spray, if it ever was picked up, is now past its best and I don't really think that it will work now. I also think the Garnier Colour Illuminators (which were (undoubtedly still are:D) £1.77 in M) may now risk drop-off. I have picked up a random one, but there is no stock at all (and the SEL is pretty dodgy and errant - I think it has just been left there and the store has simply missed removing it, rather than it being an indication that M seriously stocks lots of the product elsewhere - although I don't know as this is just the store I was in and a dodgy suggestion of a product, with me left in confusion and lack of clarity:laugh:, may be something plainly clear and in lots of stock elsewhere).

From the store I was in, with that SEL, and the lack of anything now in the other stores for me that day, I don't seriously think that this stands much chance now. Of course there will be stock in an M that has lost its SEL. So, we have the rather useless situation maybe of a SEL, and then only for the Conditioner and not the Shampoo (APG might have been in a store that had the reverse - but I doubt they will have anything in any of their stores now), in one store which has been OOS for more than 7 days and therefore price collectors would by now go N/A, together with possibly quite some stock of the product in some M somewhere (so M does in fact still have it and at £1.77) but with no SEL so no price can be obtained in that store if that is one they use.

I think the £1.38 Glades stand little chance now - I am not finding them in additional stores and they are rather diminished (as regards the number of stores in which I suspect they are, now, in). I don't think the collectors will be in the store in which I still have them most recently (and even there they seem to be slowly going) as that M is quite a small M and I can't imagine it being a price collection store. But what do I know? They've certainly gone down from about 3 stores for me (from about 4 or 5) down to left in about two (out of six) and now in one out of twenty. I think that last number will increase as I visit more different stores and I will now still have a figure of one and not be finding them anywhere else. Or if I do it is going to be very few stores.

Hopefully msm won't remove the MB links too early.

Tassimo and mini toiletries still missing MB too.

First link - some old favourites:D, a bit like the Quorns. Yeo Valley yoghurts, Onken Biopots and Arla Skyr drinks (350ml) for anyone if the link goes down. You know best - check msm and go by that: looks like it's 2 for £2 everywhere else, whether as straight £1 (Sains) or mbuy elsewhere.

Second one - :rotfl:Princes Tuna Chunks Sunflower Oil and Spring Water. I reckon past the point of comparing. I doubt 50p (M) will get picked up - you saw what happened on my own collection. But I think, on this occasion, with a womble maybe;), someone should give them a go (if mbuys still missing), just to see. You never know - APG may have checked more stores than me and could have found 50p price in one of them. Hopefully sold out of everywhere else rather than having two at £1.50!:rotfl: I think it is certainly possible that the APG might have found the product in other stores from me when I did not find it in mine. It has compared items before that I have struggled to find and had in so few Ms. It is very unlikely to have the same result as I got - but whether it will work against 50p?...

Middle one - looks like Cadbury's Mini Fingers against S, but wouldn't be that great. There's a possibility that the individual A Flapjack Bite and the Millionaire's Shortbread could compare against M but if so I don't suspect the comparison will be that great (I don't always pick these up and haven't done so recently - they are in my stores but sometimes I don't bother with them - I suspect 75p vs 75p - but they might not even see them as comparable).

Fourth of those - Wkd Blue looks like it is against T in 2s.

Last of those - Hooch Lemon 440ml, JD & Cola, JD Honey Tennessee & Lemonade and Smirnoff Apple Bite all currently on 'good' RTC prices to compare to for M. Well, maybe I wish the Honey & Lemonade was much lower:rotfl:. Not much down the line of the RTC yet, and they were certainly there on Wednesday, so stock in several Ms and may all stand a good chance of being picked up. There may be others in that offer that M also has somewhere on RTC but, if so, I haven't come across them yet:rotfl:.

Fwiw, this is what I had from SELs alone on Wednesday. This will not at all be the same as the APG I reckon.

I actually had just the Mackerel Curry Sauce alone, at 50p, on Monday. Last Wednesday, I had Curry Sauce, Sunflower Oil, Tomato Sauce and Spicy Tomato Sauce each at 50p, although they were going, particularly the Tomato versions. I did not have Hot & Sour - I think I may have added this as an item that M might not even have. If it does have it, I may not have seen it.

I'd have been £1 on the Red Salmon last Wednesday but it was definitely clearing out of the stores I was in even by Thursday. There was a noticeable drop for me in the number of stores having any evidence of this product, despite visiting further stores. It was going before the weekend - and, by Sunday for me, it was gone. I did not have anymore on Monday - even though I 'knew' it was somewhere. I did not have it in any of my different stores on Wednesday this week - no stock, no SELs but I surmised it was 50p purely by chance from scanning other items (the APG would not be able to do this!). You would have to hope they find what seems to me to be a relatively small number of 50p SEL stores. I ask again if Letchworth M etc. has a 50p SEL? (Or Coalville, Leamington, Kidderminster, Wrexham or Stewartfield.) Fior anyone who has those stores, please can you tell us! Not that that will provide us with any clue:rotfl:.

The Pink Salmon seems not much problem - other than whether they have taken the price down from 80p to 40p - but it may be the first and last time it works (if it does).

I actually bought:eek: one of the Tuna Sunflower Oil at 50p in the £1.50 store:rotfl:. You've seen my earlier results on that.

The Hot Dogs were, fairly, good last week. However, on Monday, I had the Premium and Mini ones at 25p. I did not have the American ones at all in my stores:rotfl:. On Wednesday, I had all three at 25p (picked up the American ones as well, from another store). The weekend just gone cleared them out of all 25p SEL stores for me:(. I had them at £1.00:eek: on Monday - lots of stock in the £1.00 SEL store (they scanned at 25p but the SEL would give price collectors £1:() - however I was N/A on the American Hot Dogs once again as not stocked in the £1 SEL store. So, on Monday, I was £1 Mini and £1 Premium. On Wednesday, I had just the Premium Hot Dogs at £1 (from another £1 SEL store) and neither of the other two were stocked there - I didn't use the previous £1 SEL store so now N/A on all but the Premium ones and the Premium ones at incorrect price (I believe) of £1.

The Biscuits selection you've seen.

Snack Shortcake - been N/A for me all of last week and this week - not even sure if it ever went to 10p.

The Go Ahead! Slices I caught at 10p on Thursday (missed the Wednesday collection last week) but to be generous I was including them as if collected on Wednesday (I didn't use enough stores) - there was no stock in the store but, at this point, this didn't matter. I saw them in a further store; however there was no SEL there, just the product, so it didn't contribute the 10p price, it was the store without stock that was the - only - one that did that. No trace everywhere else.

This week, I actually saw the Go Ahead! Slices (and purchased a couple more packs) on Monday - however it was in a store with no SEL for them (I'd have picked up all the others at £1:eek: of course) so I didn't pick up any price and I'm N/A. I didn't see them at all or any SEL on Wednesday just gone so again it is still N/A. Even though, most probably, they still are in the store I used on the Monday and M still has them at 10p therefore, but didn't it visit again (and even if I had, no SEL, so no price).

The Milk Chocolate Continentals - went N/A for me Monday of last week. Wednesday still N/A - only had Dark Continentals (which A doesn't have equivalent for and the Milk Chocolate Butter Biscuits did not compare in A anyway when they appeared to be more generally available in M at 50p as the price collectors probably not seen the M product as comparable). I had incorrect SEL of 50p on the Dark Continentals - actually scanned at 10p - so, had there been a Dark Chocolate version in A, I would have, under this exercise, have given it 50p M - an incorrect price.

This week, I had no Dark or Milk Continentals on Monday. However, I have now found Milk Continentals (but no longer the Dark:rotfl:) and it turns out that they are actually 50p and never went to 10p:(. However, they were found in a store that does not have a SEL, so, under this exercise, N/A. Are you keeping up?:D

Milk Chocolate Butter Biscuits - they don't compare in A since price collectors have not seen M's product as comparable (I doubt that has changed since) - my collection would have been:

Two weeks ago
50p on both dates

Last week
Monday N/A
Wednesday N/A

This week
Monday N/A
Wednesday N/A (even though found actual stock but there is no SEL so no price can be obtained) - the other N/A dates were proper N/As for me - no stock or SEL anywhere - in fact I thought they may have gone to 10p, but this now turns out not to be the case.

In fact there was a price on the single item of stock that I found - however it was a store specific reduction price (of 39p) and therefore does not count. N/A. You would never have known I had actually found it.

Deli Choc Biscuits
Two weeks ago these were 44p and in several stores and I was picking them up (on both dates).
Last week, I did not have them anywhere on Monday - N/A.
On Wednesday (Thursday transferred to Wednesday as using that as I didn't visit 6 stores on the actual Wednesday), I found a SEL for 10p in one store on the Dark Chocolate version only. So, I would have been 10p for that:j and would have given N/A for the White Chocolate version:(. (I still don't know what the actual price of White Chocolate is in M.)

On Monday I was back to N/A again - and on both versions (still not found White Chocolate, let alone found any SEL even if without stock).
On Wednesday:D, I found a pack of McVities Deli Chocolate!:j:j I bought it - so store OOS apparently again:rotfl:. Only the Dark Chocolate version:(* - still N/A on the White - and... :rotfl::rotfl:N/A on the Dark Chocolate as well since I am without SEL.

I've been N/A on both the Treatsize bars packs since the middle of January this year when I found them only in Burton. However, I have kept them constantly on my list as suspecting Burton or somewhere else still has them ever since and indeed they have been confirmed on hotdeals on one recent point (now several weeks ago) as still being available in 43p in M. I had these before Christmas - and they were in a few stores at times, sometimes without SELs:(, they were at £1 (when I bought a couple of packs only for M to go further down in price:(:( - I bought another pack at that cheaper price and then soon after, I lost them from my stores. I found them again only when I started going out on my wider trips and then only in Burton. I did not expect to find them there - they were a surprise to be still in M that long on. I have seen them nowhere else. I have been to 80 stores). I will include Burton again some day, to check they really are still there.

The Belvita Forest Fruit - I got last week on Wednesday only from a store with 10p SEL and no stock. Seen nowhere else. I had them at £1 on Monday of that week (which I believe was M price then). I've not seen any indication of them this week - so I'm N/A all week.

The Tracker Chocolate Chip Bars - these went down to 50p in M and have stayed at that price ever since. I got these in two stores two weeks ago, on both days. Last week, I had them on Monday and Wednesday (but, by then, only in one store - the store had no stock but it did have a SEL - in fact I found physical stock in a further store on Wednesday but there was no stock so that one doesn't count - the 50p comes from the store that has the SEL). There were no SELs for me on Monday - even though I still had now a single box of stock in the non-SEL store. It was stubbornly 50p:( - I would have bought it out myself if it were 10p - there is a battle of wits under which I will not buy it unless it goes down - however, as I had no SEL, I'm N/A on Monday of this week. I'm still N/A on Wednesday even though I have the one unit of stock!

Tracker White Chocolate
Two weeks ago, I had them in one store on Monday - so got the price of 50p. However, I didn't use that store on Wednesday so I went N/A:rotfl: (even though of course they were kept on my list at 50p as they were). I suspect the APG would have found them in further stores though.
Last week, on Monday, I had 50p again in the store that had the SEL even though there was now no stock. Then, on Wednesday, I did not use that store - but :jI got 10p from the SEL of another store, but no stock anywhere. No SELs at all in the other stores, but one 10p so I'd have got 10p.
This week, I was N/A in all stores:rotfl::rotfl:. No stock or SEL. Then, on Wednesday, :huh::rotfl:I'm suddenly back into 10p again since I now have a SEL (but no stock) in one store - I have searched and searched in vain for stock there but not found any of the product at all to buy - and annoyingly the Chocolate Chip version that I can find one of is stubbornly 50p.

So, whilst being N/A on the Chocolate Chip that I previously had at 50p even though I have a unit of stock for that (in one store), I am now 10p on the White Chocolate Chip even though there is no stock for me anywhere:rotfl:. I went 10p N/A 10p. Next week I will be N/A again unless I find stock, as it is now more than 7 days since I saw any stock. This is all very random, it seems (and White Chocolate bars must be somewhere in M even if they are on an RTC in some store I haven't seen but with no price on them and therefore, even if 7 days have gone by, it doesn't alter the fact that they are somewhere in M and available for 10p even if they have not been found by a price collector) - the results I have won't be the same way on the APG as they are in different places to me (as they almost certainly are - I've never come across anyone with price checking equipment that I thought was from the APG) - but it probably does help show why there is the seeming randomness of comparisons or not sometimes. I am not excusing it. I will keep the White Chocolate on my list as 'buy in M' even if I do not find it at all next week.

The McVities Breakfast Bakes Oat Bakes
I was 50p on these two weeks ago - on both dates. They were available in most stores. (Or I may have been a higher RTC price that went to 50p - I was whatever the price in M was.) Last week, when they went to 10p, I was by now N/A on the Monday since they had all been bought out by weekend shoppers it seemed at 50p. However, I found just the Apple version at 10p on Wednesday. 10p SEL but no stock. Therefore, on Wednesday, I was N/A on Blueberry but now, having been 50p the week before on Apple and then N/A (Monday) was then back - this time to 10p.

On Monday of this week I was still 10p on the Apple - but this time from a different store and even with stock! That store had stock of both Blueberry and Apple on the previous Wednesday (when I had 10p on Apple but N/A on Blueberry) - but no SELs so N/A on both from there and N/A on Blueberry even though I did have Blueberry in just that store (didn't help - no SEL!). Of course it was 10p and I was able to buy it.

On Wednesday just gone, I was now OOS of Apple entirely and now had no SELs anywhere - the store that had the Apple in physical stock and with 10p SEL had now totally cleared out of it (unsurprisingly!). So I went from 10p on Apple to N/A and from N/A on Blueberry (which had been N/A on Monday and on the previous Wednesday, 50p on Monday before that, which it was) to 10p:rotfl:. I had a SEL (and indeed stock, which brought the product suddenly back to life - it would have been N/A if there had just been a SEL as I had not had stock for 7 days). The SEL and stock was in one store only and it was only the Blueberry. No Apple anywhere there or in my other stores on that day and no SELs. The stock of the Blueberry was already very little at the time I saw it with the SEL - good job I didn't arrive at that store two hours later as I may well not have found it and the result would have been N/A - and I am almost certain, by Monday, it will be gone entirely and probably there will be no SEL. If the staff have forgotten to remove the SEL however, I will pick it up at 10p as I saw stock on Wednesday. If I'd have arrived two hours later on Wednesday and seen no stock but had the SEL, I would be N/A on Monday coming because of being OOS for 7 days or more - if I saw the SEL still left on Monday, without stock, I would have continued to be N/A. However, I saw stock on Wednesday - so, if that happens on Monday, purely haphazardly, I will be 10p and not N/A. If however the staff remove the SEL, with the product no doubt completely gone by now, and if I do not find any SEL elsewhere for the Blueberry, which is likely, then I will be N/A on it on Monday. I will likely be N/A on the Apple in any event as now unlikely to find any SEL for that - although, you never know, I might do so:rotfl:!

Of course, in fact throughout the entire period M have had stock of both Apple and Blueberry available somewhere to buy at 10p. But I've gone from 10p to N/A and back to 10p again on the two different ones at different times. And I am now, by next Wednesday, I will go N/A on one (Apple) if I see SEL but no stock but will hold on to 10p on the other (Blueberry) until the following Monday, if I see SEL but no stock for that - purely on the chance of me seeing stock of the Blueberry last Wednesday.

On the drinks, I've seen last week on Wednesday the Fentiman's on RTC at £1.32 in one store. There is physical stock. It's seen as a 'good price', therefore, it's on my list. As I had that product already, I checked for it on Monday. I found it in two of four stores and with the RTC £1.32 on it, so it is all good from my own check. Whether the APG will have it...:think: They probably will, somewhere, but again it's always possible they could go to six stores and none of them have it - although I think that's not likely - and they've had an item (the Chicago Town Melt Pizza) that I was struggling to find despite going to over a dozen stores, so it's possible that this item that I have clearly found in two of the stores I used on Monday isn't found by them. They might have the same sort of problem that I had with Chicago Melt that they didn't have (as it compared correctly). However, despite my problems in finding the Chicago Melt, I still kept it at £1 on my list as I now thought it would be available in M somewhere even if I had not found it - the APG collectors however would I suspect be N/A in this situation - but I think, at one stage, I did have so many problems finding the Chicago Melt, that I removed it from my list as I was unable to check its price. I reinstated it two days later when I eventually came across an indication of it at £1 (even though I did not have stock).

On the Bottlegreen, I found this last week on Wednesday at RTC in one store. However, I did not see any SEL or stock on Monday or Wednesday. It's still on my list as it will be somewhere still on that RTC even if in the stores I've used I haven't found it. It'll remain on my list. However, using the SELs for my game, it got an N/A.

The Baylis and Harding set - this compared on the APG to what I believe is incorrect £2 a few weeks/months back - I was finding it in several stores at £1 and absent from others. I had it on each collection in at least one store though. A few weeks ago, I did come across one store that had £2 SEL. However, all of my others, where they had it, had £1. I had it in one or more stores (and with £1) on both check days three weeks ago. I've had a similar situation of losing it and then picking it up again which is too long to go through. I had the product in one store last week on Wednesday. However, on Monday I had no stock or SEL anywhere. Now, on Wednesday, I have :rotfl:found a SEL but no stock for it so under the game I give £1 price immediately back for it! It is a quite dodgy SEL by now though - rather more one just left on an otherwise bare shelf that hasn't been removed - and to say on the basis of that that M still has it?:think: They probably will somewhere, even now, though, as anything I might think they no longer have they always do - it is probably on a shelf with no SEL:rotfl:. Just one store and no trace from anywhere else on Wednesday! And then no stock:rotfl:. You were very lucky I was not quite up to my 7 days!

Okay, goodnight!:D:wave: (I've noticed, from now looking back at my list at the start of this post, that I am best price 10p on only one item - and, apart from the Belvita in addition, it's just about the only item that I cannot physically find anywhere!:rotfl::rotfl: I'm "N/A" on several things that I have actually bought without SELs:rotfl: - and higher than actual price on some others that I have bought too! So, the ones where I have given you a worse price are those I've actually bought at 10p (there was an additional Mackerel Fillets, that I bought, without SEL, at 25p but it happened to be one that A doesn't have), and the one I have at 10p I have no stock for and haven't been able to buy:rotfl:.)

*The frown being for price collection purposes, actually I like Dark Chocolate version (that's why I bought it) so no frown on that basis.

In short, for those looking for clues for the APG, just ignore my last post as it was my own game earlier - it won't at all reflect what the APG has got. I think Princes Pink Salmon stands a very good chance but Princes Red Salmon unfortunately stands very little (someone, one person, can try that tonight though, like just losing a womble if it doesn't work). The Princes Mackerel fillets might work but we don't know which ones may be picked up. From my own perspective of my stores, which may be different from the APG, the Tomato versions have largely gone so the others might be more likely to work. It may be 50:50 on those, or perhaps slightly better. I don't think the Hot Dogs will get 25p - I think likely N/A or even maybe £1:eek:. I do not see any stores which had 25p before now having any SEL or stock - they pretty much went last week. The only Ms that now have them, as far as I see, are ones with incorrect £1 SELs. Even then I don't have American Style Hot Dogs version - they seem to be in fewer stores and are more likely to be N/A than £1 - they will be a miracle if they get 25p as they are likely to have shifted out of all 25p stores and be no SEL left for them now.

The Tracker White Chocolate has come down in price in A but I can't see it comparing. I would think Princes Pink Salmon at A £2.70:eek: will be likely to work and pick up 40p - or if it does not it will pick up 80p. Of course I cannot guarantee no N/A but, despite its A price, I would see it much more likely to compare than Tracker White Chocolate which seems highly unlikely now. By contrast, the Pink Salmon (unfortunately, and not the Red) appears to be in every M I've seen at 40p on Wednesday - but it is going fast by now and will be gone I think next week. So, it's first and last chance I think. Don't blame me if it doesn't work - it's just my stores and could be totally different position for them. I think the 10p items - virtually no chance. Pink Salmon and the Mackerel Fillets are the only ones that stand any chance I think (and Pink Salmon I think stands an excellent chance) but the Mackerel Fillets are a bit dicey - they would have been much better tried last week (but sadly they were 50p then). Now, they might not have one or two (or more) on the APG. Don't go buying that gift set - the £1 I have is a very errant one now!

Those Tuna Chunks are really 50p in M. There's an offchance they might pick up 50p (but then it may only be on the one of them and not the other - if there's a glitch on the mbuy, one person should try it just to see though whilst everyone else sits and waits for the result first and then shops today if it is favourable) - even though I know people have them with SELs at 50p in their M, I haven't seen any and I think generally it is unlikely. You can see I got incorrect £1.50 from the SELs alone on one of them now - and N/A on the other. That is random - it just happened to be the Sunflower in my one M that had anything at all. It could be the other one that they find at 50p in one store and get 50p on the APG (offchance - I'd think both are most likely to be N/A) - the Sunflower Oil, that I know is 50p but I have at £1.50 from the incorrect SEL, might return N/A. I do not know if incorrect SELs on the Tunas are widespread in M - it may be more likely to have got 50p than that £1.50, but I think 50p is a very slim chance - most Ms, certainly for me, don't seem to have anything at all regarding them now.

Is M at Letchworth the crucial place on the Red Salmon?:rotfl: Is it there or is it gone?:D:rotfl::rotfl: If it's physically there, I suspect there's no SEL:(. We need a SEL which, I suspect, will mean no stock (but that's not necessarily needed if they did see stock earlier on, when it was £1 - and they may have done but, unfortunately on that, Wednesday, when it went to 50p, is getting worse - since the stock was likely gone after the weekend - may just hang on for Wednesday though). Please say that there's a 50p SEL for the Red Salmon in the tinned fish aisle in Letchworth! Even then, the price collectors might not have been there:rotfl:.
