I may as well reveal now...did I find the Red Salmon? (I suspect APG will have £1.75 for M:(.)






































Yes, I did!:j:j:D Correct 50p SEL (I haven't found anything at all anywhere else so I would be 50p) and there is even stock! Only one can - I didn't buy it as I didn't need it - and it is a dented can. Which explains, why it probably, has not gone. It was the only tin on the shelf with the 50p Red Salmon SEL in front of it. I very much doubt this is a price collection store - there is no issue with the Hartley's jelly pricing - but, just in case, and in order to try to keep the Red Salmon in stock for anyone here who gets there first (only worthwhile if you are live nearby) I have moved some of the tines of Pink Salmon (of which there were quite a few below - with correct SEL 40p) and put them into the red salmon place. Hopefully they will think red salmon is still in stock and keep the SEL in place. I've put the tin near the back of tins I've now moved to there.

The lucky place (maybe, as the red salmon tin is dented) is Harrogate.

You also have Tuna Mayonnaise & Sweetcorn tin (normal aisle) with incorrect SEL of £1. (Fwiw, I've now found incorrect £1 in two places, so, although I found a store with the correct 25p the other day - which was almost OOS when I saw it and probably is OOS now - the £1 price is now the most common, so I go from 25p to £1 and pick up the incorrect price instead:(:rotfl::rotfl:. I've become worse - you did not want me to go to Harrogate on this one!)

Harrogate has the McVities Deli Dark Chocolate in the normal aisle. No SEL obviously - I took incorrect 44p price from another store which didn't have any stock. Harrogate did have the White Chocolate version too and I can confirm it is indeed 10p - however I bought the one unit of stock that was there as I haven't had it anywhere else before so I suspect the store will no longer have it. M will still have it somewhere - probably in a store with a similar situation of no SEL and a unit of stock, or more, that wasn't bought when it was previously the 44p RTC. There was no SEL for me in Harrogate, and I've not seen any SEL for it elsewhere, so I'm still N/A on the White Chocolate version as I can't get any price. It won't matter even if I get a SEL for it now somewhere at 10p (with no stock) as I've been OOS for more than 7 days. I need stock next time I have a SEL to pick up a price. Of course someone will be able to buy it from some M at that time at 10p.

So real M prices:
Dark - 10p
White - 10p

Savvy's "APG":
Dark - 44p
White - N/A
:rotfl:

There's no Mackerel Fillets or any of the cheap Hot Dogs in Harrogate as far as I can see.

I did find a SEL for the Mackerel Fillets Spicy Tomato in another M. I had stock on Monday, when I found it at 25p in a third store. You may have thought the OOS in the second place now was a good sign as to my new "APG" price. Unfortunately for you, the SEL is incorrect £1.37:eek:, so I pick that price up and I'm now comparing A £1.00 vs £1.37 M on the Spicy Tomato version, so it's subtracting you money. It would now be better to buy the Tomato Sauce version at £1 as that's still N/A:rotfl:. It would of course be better to find that, probably on the RTC shelf or normal aisle of an M without SEL that I haven't visited or one that has an incorrect SEL price. You don't want me to go to the latter - as if it is £1.37 as the incorrect price, I'd now have two of those and need to find two 25p stores specifically for the Tomato version to pick up 25p.

I think this would have stood a better chance on the real APG last week, although to be honest they were a bit hit and miss for me when they went to 25p, particularly the Tomato and the Spicy Tomato versions. Unfortunately for the pretend 'APG', I found Spicy Tomato at 25p last time so would have been 25p earlier in the week, but I'm now £1.37; I didn't have Tomato last time but still picked up 25p as I'd not been OOS for too long then but had I seen £1.37 OOS on that today I would have been N/A. I'm N/A anyway as I haven't seen any SEL at the correct price on this collection. I'm 25p on the Curry Sauce version; however I'm N/A on another version because I saw stock of the product in M but didn't have a SEL:rotfl:.

On the RTC shelf in Harrogate, I found some M 10 Hallowe'en Balloons of all things:huh: at store specific 50p price. I also found the Make your own Easter Felt Basket at 75p. I found a Mother's Day Voucher Book at 5p and :osome M Disney Christmas Cards (24) at 40p. I had these on my list and deleted them as one of the few items I just couldn't imagine M still having. I suspected other Christmas items would be around but this one was proving problematic in finding anywhere and, after so long, I imagined that such an item would surely have sold out more quickly. Clearly not:rotfl:. So, :oit goes back onto the list although I think I will be showing its original price of 50p (on the assumption that the unit of stock in Harrogate implies that it is available at the non-store specific price in some other M) but with a note that there is/was a better price at Harrogate.

There are also some packs of Savers 12 pack variety crisps on Harrogate RTC shelf at 50p. However they are 18g per pack, so therefore are approximately really a 6 pack:p. Nonetheless 6 for 50p would be around my guide.

Fwiw, the Baylis & Harding gift set that I was starting to have trouble finding until I found what seemed a very dodgy errant SEL in a store yesterday - I've now found two units of stock in Harrogate. However, there is no SEL so - you've guessed it - I can't get a price and moreover, even though the product is clearly in Harrogate (and not picked up, because there's no SEL for it), I will be N/A if Harrogate does not put a SEL up and if the SEL in the other store is removed - which seems likely to happen - with me now having no SEL anywhere else - since they have gone OOS. Even if the SEL remains, I will most likely become N/A in a week's time, as the product will not return to stock and I have not had stock for 7 days in the store where the SEL is.

Of course none of these SEL updates will affect the M list. I'll still show the correct M prices on there;):).
