    I need to update my M list - all this obtaining new erratic information on the clearance items whilst the APG quite likely obtains different erratic information and going out for new items - I need to get it from Monday even onto last Wednesday.

    I'll start off with it now, as and when I come across different things I'll let you know - I can't remember if I posted something earlier or not so I'll probably mention it again if/when I come back across it in my paper.

    (I'll show the real prices for M on the list - the erratic information obtained was/is something else but I know the real prices. Or I think I do, perhaps I still haven't established the correct price on some of them in M!:rotfl: It's taken me until Thursday to establish the Milk Chocolate Continentals are - or were then and likely still are - 50p and never went down to 10p and until yesterday to find that the White Chocolate Deli biscuits have indeed gone down to 10p like the Dark Chocolate ones. I still don't know whether the Cadbury Shortcake Snack - I assume M have that in some stores or other - has gone down further than the 68p(?) it was, I've not found stock but there was a suggestion it had. It seems the Patterson Shortbread Fingers that were 30p are now very rare: but I've probably ended up going to the wrong Ms for them - like I suspected White Chocolate Deli was 10p but didn't find it in 24 stores - maybe the Patterson if people are lucky have even gone lower than 30p? I very much doubt it - they are probably stubborn at 30p (which wasn't/isn't bad) but I've had nothing in any store of late so have been unable to check. And doubtless if I "very much doubt" something or doubt that M even have something anymore, I will be completely wrong and whatever I doubted will in fact turn out to be the case.)

    The offer is 3 for £10 but you pay £5.50. I had both the Ariel colour and Ariel actilift 24 washes on my picks. Both at £7.50 before multi:)
