That's one of the items we're after! At last, they buy it:T:j (even if they get it on A mbuy:().

So, the collectors are not in the few Ms that almost certainly have them at £1:(. Or else maybe, but extremely unlikely indeed, they are in the rare M that has only the Chocolate version with the SEL.

Spray Carnations - I'm sure they are in M too: but more expensive, probably £3 and 2 for £5.

They weren't in the M that had the Nobbly Bobbly on unchanged SEL of £1:(, or else if they were the price got overruled by correct £2s elsewhere.

Why have the Daffodils gone up in price?:eek: £1 each in every M I can see them in, so I don't know what has happened.

But what a mess of a price collection (on the items in this shop) - getting two items N/A and the other (the Daffodils) with an incorrect M price. IMO. I think my'correct prices (or allegedly "correct" - to the best of my knowledge, as far as I know or even not know but suspect in the case of seemingly rare in M items like the 5 pack Cornettos) wouldn't help though as I'd take more off if the Carnations compared.

Keep looking for 5 pack Cornettos, as you never know - they could come into a price collection store at any time and start comparing (probably briefly, for 2 days:() or else who knows if they've got the Chocolate or Classic version? I doubt it on any of them - there are so few Ms that seem to have them at all that they seem to be they are unlikely to compare - as the Strawberry result reveals (or else unlucky to have hit a store with it in that only had a SEL for the Chocolate ones:mad:).

They bought A mbuy on it:( - I would really like £2.25 individual price, maybe an invisible trigger, and a comparison of M to £1. Obviously all three of those things are just wishful thinking, even if the result is the previous collection and not the current one - it could now have changed but really unlikely indeed (except maybe the Daffodils would now have set back to the correct M price).

The Cornetto 5 pack are not the ones from ages ago that were (are) on RTC and are still lingering on in possibly just a bit more than a couple of handfuls of Ms (a different couple of handfuls for each specific product). Instead, they are regularly at £1 in M - although (out of about 85 stores in total now), I've only ever seen the Chocolate version in 3 stores (one of those for all of a day and without SEL) and the Strawberry version in just 2. That said, I only ever found one of the large Grill Mates (that have now gone up in price in M according to m.com) in just 2 stores and then only found the one version twice (once in each) and not any of the other flavours that M have according to online.

The APG once, many years ago for me, missed some Raid Fly Catcher that was on half price in my local M - I went to A's CS and was told that it was probably in my M but not in the collection stores. I think 6 stores - if that's how many - or few(?) - they use is clearly inadequate to catch quite a few things - and, even if you use 85, 105 or even 220 Ms you will still have stuff missing! (But I also think it's probably the 'best' they can do.) I also now wonder at what point do I conclude that the Princes Mackerel Fillets, Princes Red Salmon, Princes Pink Salmon and Princes Tuna 3 packs have completely cleared of absolutely every unit of stock out of every M:think:. Or do I keep them on my list permanently, and indefinitely, even though there might be a point at which they are there but then remaining there wrongly as they are, at that stage, available in no M in the country at all?:think:

I've had Joseph's Dobsons Bonfire Toffee (which looks like an item left around from Hallowe'en/November last year - BB date on all the packs I've seen is September 2016) constantly on my list at 43p ever since I found it early this year at an M quite far away from me. Of course I had not seen it anywhere else since - and then, last Wednesday, a single pack appears in a random part of one of my local Ms:huh:. Yes, indeed, still in M and at 43p - although, in my store, possibly just that one unit of stock has come from the warehouse at the back of the store or something - it wasn't even on the shelving, just on some staff's trolley possibly to put it out - and of course no SEL anywhere in the store. I've never seen it in my store before (it may have been there around Hallowe'en when it was probably more expensive and I therefore wasn't noticing it then!:D:rotfl::T).

Why has that happened? There is not an update of M pricing on the APG on a Saturday as far as I've ever been aware. Did you buy the completely correct ones? Which Fox's biscuits have you bought? Please post comp. so that I can see exactly what is comparing and how - they don't have 50p and 2 for £3 somehow on them do they for one version or something like this?:( TIA.

Which whiskey are you referring to (I've not caught up) and what price for M were you expecting it to be? TIA again.
