    I suspect if it were 'Savvy's APG' it would be final hours on the Pink Salmon - you've already missed the Red Salmon - as I will be going from 40p to £1.50 on the Pink today. However this never worked on the APG so I suspect it will either be going N/A or getting £1.50 again. I think people therefore will be buying at places such as the only Morrisons that I will find with stock today with the £1.50 price label. Nonetheless, Thursday onwards might be the first time this works if Wrexham ever gets round to putting 40p on the shelf by today (can someone check?) then if that really is one of the collection stores, it could start to work.

    Afternoon all

    Ice cream weather?:eek: You ought to be buying in winter when it is unseasonal (aren't they cheaper then?:think:).

    I notice you didn't buy in M last time you visited there as it would be paying cash. That's a good point but are you going to be buying with your wombles some Pink, Red and any other type of Salmon and 3x80g tuna in A?:rotfl: (Perhaps you should - still cheaper than M in real cash terms:rotfl::rotfl:. Even if it will take more wombles or higher value ones.)

    We really need the Tracker White Chocolate as that's about the only item I had with 10p (then, but not now:D) and have, of course, been unable to buy in M. I've found stock nowhere since it went to 10p. However, I very much doubt that the APG collectors will be able to find it (especially now) and, in the extremely unlikely event that one of their stores happens to be one where it is, it's highly to have unchanged full price and they are, I suspect, even less likely to find it with a 10p SEL. However, you never know - maybe one of their collection stores has had £2 or something on it for several weeks and has now, only by today, put the 10p price onto the shelf.:rotfl:

    I don't even know whether M have the product any more:rotfl::rotfl:.

    I was told that Wrexham had a SEL of a wrong high price on the Princes Red Salmon before, yet even that price wasn't picked up on the APG last time but the product returned N/A. It's possible that that high SEL went on the shelf after Wednesday. I don't know why, but sometimes stores put up, or change, SELs to full prices even when the products remain on offer and sometimes when offers have still some time to run. Maybe it's just an error or mistake by an M staff member, thinking it was some other product, or printing off the SEL from an old file on the computer system. Whatever the case, when I visited on Monday there was no SEL at all. It seems to me that the SEL is absent, and that would tie in with an N/A return even if the APG used Wrexham as one of its stores. If there was another SEL for £1.50 for the Pink Salmon, which matches the result the APG got, then that SEL was not there when I viewed the shelf on at least two separate occasions on Monday. I looked at the outset as part of my check for these specific items. Quite some time later, I passed the shelf again when I reached the canned fish aisle as part of my 'full store' check. The aisle is at the other end of the store from where I start off.

    You can rest assured I've done what I was doing thoroughly and properly.

    On my pretend 'canned fish' six-stores collection, I've gone N/A on the Red Salmon because Wrexham was only one of two stores that had that product for me but both of them did not have any SEL for it.

    However, the lack of a £1.50 SEL for the Pink Salmon in Wrexham has now stopped me from getting £1.50 on the Pink - I had another store at £1.50 but I also had another store at 40p (even if now OOS) and I went with that lowest price. I can see myself going to £1.50 from Wednesday's collection as the store that was OOS will have removed its SEL and, unless I now find another 40p from somewhere else, I'll be left with the £1.50 I got in the store that had that last time. I compared - pretend - against 40p and still, just about, do - however the APG has already failed to pick up 40p and I don't think the chances look any good from here onwards.
    Savvy the sels for the Princes salmon had been removed from Wrexham when I looked on Sunday afternoon and there was no stock of either pink or red and the spaces had been filled with M's own brand tins. They must have restocked after closing on Sunday and there was still stock of both pink and red there this morning but still no sel's. hth

    Hello, I'm back, so prepare for incessant posts about M again:rotfl:. I'm sorry - even so, there is a lot to get through.
    The SP Yogurts dropped off the system after I had a period of out of stock in several stores (which I suspect were different to theirs) and I haven't seen them ever come back on the APG. They seem sometimes to lose the odd thing and then they never come back - even though they have now returned to my Ms for some time. Actually I can't now recall if there are any in Wrexham (I think I may have taken them away given their 'never' now comparing) - can someone tell me if Wrexham has 4 pack Savers Yogurts .
    Yes they do Savvy.

    Good afternoon everyone, what a lovely day it is today:) Hope your Dad is ok Di:( Lovely photos Marmite of both the robins and your early morning walk:)
    Sent DD1 into the loft today to look for more china for Rhos as I had a feeling that there should be a Tea set up there. She found said Tea set consisting of 6 cups & saucers, 6 side plates and milk jug and sugar bowl (unfortunately one of the cups was broken):(There was also a complete canteen of cutlery which must have been up there for 30 years and never been used so this will also be finding its way to Rhos:) I shall try to post pictures later when I have more time.
    Have a nice afternoon everyone:wave:
