Who does the washing up? She might think you do a very good job of keeping her pans pristine, little does she know. :rotfl:

I wish I had found out Mr TS likes to lick his plate when he has finished his dinner. _pale_ That's not a bad thing you might say but he doesn't care where he does it we could be in the poshest of restaurants.

TS my Mr AJ has the very same habit of lucking his plate clean after a meal. I have though after being married since 1987 managed to train him not to do this when we are out for a meal
In company at home he still falls foul of 'cave man' behaviour - very deep sigh :eek:

Off to do a quick catch up as need to be up early, getting picked up at 7.50am :eek:

There are it seems quite a few More points offers on in M. Most of them for 10p points each. I think that some of them are supposedly on until 1st May according to m.com. I suppose that someone could buy 50 items and get points for a £5 voucher.

There are certainly enough items with points, apart from the fact that :doh:I think you won't be able to buy all of them in your M:rotfl:. I have put onto the list those I am finding where M's shelf price is an offer price on some of them. Some of them won't make the grade: for example the KTC Vermicelli (don't go buying them IMO) that, even after the points, still work out more expensive than some previously cheaper straight price according to msm.

My list can also be used to identify items that may have points which are not marked on the SEL of your store. I have obviously got them from some other M. That is assuming that that M is correct to display the points (I can't check whether items actually give points or not) and that the reason there is no marking in your store isn't because the points offer, if it ever was on, is no longer on. We might need other people, in other stores, to tell us what is on or not. One of my stores has a lot of "free from" items labelled as points - including Linda McCartney which has unfortunately gone up in price so the points offer (assuming there is one on it) is not worthwhile. However, I can't find any other stores displaying any points so I am once again in doubt. EDIT: It's also not marked online, so I suspect there isn't a points offer on at all. However, there are some fresh free from items that are, according to several stores, on points offer. I hope my list is correct - I've tried my best to establish what has points and not - although I'm sure that I will be wrong on some items (saying they have points when they do not or not marking them as having points when they do) due to incorrect shelf labelling in some stores.

And which one did I fail to mention?

Yes, the Cadbury's Swirl Luxury Ice Cream that is in [Strike]Harrogate:rotfl:[/Strike] Wetherby.

This was in my regular store months ago, and also in my second store. It stayed in my first store for about three weeks and then it vanished from there without trace. However, it was still in my other main store but had lost its SEL there. I started to doubt it - it stuck around for a bit, but I felt it now wasn't going to be in enough Ms to stand a chance of being in a collection store to be picked up. However, I'm just seeing the view from my stores. With the Swirl Ice Cream at that point only in one M for me and barely just hanging on, I really thought it was going. And then it vanished. I think I keep it on for a bit but, eventually, after a month or more of not finding it at all, I deleted it off:eek:. And there it is, months later - in Harrogate.

I shall add it back on, because it is still stocked and available in M to be sold at £1. However, I don't think it stands much chance:rotfl:.

Now, is TBG in Harrogate?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: There is no RTC indication on the Roast Potatoes SEL (that might be partly why they've stuck around, seemingly little noticed on the bottom shelf) and neither do the Swirl Luxury Lollies - or indeed the Red Salmon with 50p SEL:D - indicate that they are RTC. I very much doubt they are in Harrogate. But I very much doubt it in relation to every store, but it has got to be three of them. It's a quite remote chance - and of course there are the Ms I've not visited - and TBG might find - it seems very unlikely any at all since they are in so few Ms for me - if they found anything at all and they are likely to be complete nothing - if they did find something, it would probably be a finding of just one of these three items. Unless they are in Harrogate and pick up all three:rotfl:.

As regards the APG, and it did previously pick this item up, I think it has disappeared from the price collection stores. The RTC items like this one have disappeared from my original stores. Unless the APG was originally picking it up in Harrogate (probably at that time, Harrogate and another or maybe just Harrogate) - but the result on the Red Salmon may suggest not. If they were to be picking it up from Harrogate, they would I think have it constantly.

Sorry, I'm getting it wrong - in my attempt to keep track of what's in stock, what has SELs and what has not, I'm mixing up my stores. This one, the Luxury Ice Cream, is in M in Wetherby not Harrogate. Therefore, obviously some of the rest of this post is written on a wrong assumption such as picking up all three by being in Harrogate.

I won't spend all the time correcting the post and rewriting it - it's quicker to post this correction.:)

I won't mention the reduced items in Wetherby that were OOS - unfortunately there were quite a few. However, you do have the AB frozen Pancakes. I think they did not have a SEL at the time I visited although I have not noted that down - but I suspect they will still be 50p.

There was also the Shaving Set that has been almost constantly on my list at £2 (it did go up from £1.99 at one stage. Still got an incorrect SEL for that, months later, in one other store:rotfl:) - however there was one on the RTC shelf (Wetherby) at 99p which, unless it's been bought between Friday night and now, will still be there. There's some World Book Day clearance on the RTC shelf (one of which was priced at 25p); I also found some (but at 50p) in Chester but they are in container in an unusual aisle. They will be in a few more stores.

Just to tell you though, I walked into Wetherby M and - almost within two seconds - saw what I think may be an incorrect SEL. For the Mini Grip Gloves at 25p - they were OOS (possibly why the SEL hasn't been changed if indeed that's so) but I thought they have gone up to £1.

There were a couple of Wrestlemania Annuals (2016) on M Ripon RTC shelf at 95p.

Also, obviously I am wrong not to have M Hallowe'en Balloons on my list - 50p on Harrogate RTC:rotfl:.

Does anyone still have the Toffee Apple Muffins in their M? I saw them only in an M in Walsall - couldn't quite believe they were there in January - they were still bringing more out when I was there so I put them onto my list and kept them on my list for some time. However, not seeing them anywhere since, and so long going by, I deleted them off:eek:. Which surely means they are still somewhere:rotfl:. Bet this is a regular feature all year round in Walsall:rotfl::rotfl:.

Rather annoyingly, I got home - I thought one pack of them would be enough - and they got consumed all in one go, straight away!:doh::mad::mad::rotfl:

Mind you, I was furious when the Santa Selection (still several months left to go) was taken and consumed nearly all at once, but I managed to find another pack:j:rotfl:.

A's put its price down on some Birds Eye Inspirations (2 pack - 240g) to £1.50. M £1.50. Almost near useless at this stage, so - not going onto the list! M's offer supposed to be on for nearly another two weeks - I hope that's time for the A price to increase nicely.

Good evening
Eh interesting catch up and must confess it's been the first time I too have reported the posts on here some of which have been truly disgusting
On the subject of the referendum don't think much will change if we vote for out as in my personal experience nothing has changed up here after' we voted no whether Scotland would be better off or not out of the UK who knows but certainly it's just more of the same
On that note time for bed me thinks good night

Sorry, I've just noticed - I did have the Moroccan Mackerel Fillets after all on my latest collection, so I would compare them for you.

To an incorrect price of 50p:(. I had a store elsewhere with 50p SEL without stock. I suspect the SEL was not changed down because the product had sold out there and because I checked apparently on the day of M's price markdown to 25p - if we recall, it went to 25p around mid-week (possibly Tuesday, I was not in M then). The store at which I bought the Mackerel Fillets at 25p did not have a SEL. (I think when the real price was 50p two days before, I was N/A:rotfl::rotfl: (wasn't in any of the stores I checked). So 50p = N/A and 25p = 50p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

So, I've now, end of last week, got one version at 25p (Curry), another at 50p (Moroccan), a third at £1.37 (Spicy Tomato) and two N/A (Tomato and Hot & Sour - and possibly up to three others that I haven't found at all - I've only found Hot & Sour on msm so that doesn't count and Tomato I knew they stocked but had no evidence of SELs or stock in the stores I happened to check earlier this week). It's just completely haphazard. Pick your luck and you'd never know which would compare, if it did at all, or not.
