    Having an admin day today/online shopping for clothes to wear to work and came across two things.

    The first is New Look, there's a banner on their homepage offering 20% off when you sign up to their newsletter. It says for a 1st purchase, but worked on my existing account. Also currently 10% cb for new and existing members (full price items only, 2% for sale items) with QC if they'll honour the code.

    The second is Superdrug off their own beauty skin care range. I bought their tea tree moisturiser which was 2 for £5. If you buy 3 products you get 20% off if you're a beauty card member, then a further 10% as it's in the 'teen' range. Also 2% cb via QC. Hope it's useful to someone! I use their tea tree items a lot, it seems to be the only thing that works with my eczema :)

    There are different prices on Onken Yogurts (450g) showing for A on msm - some on mbuy, some not - is there a glitch?

    Meanwhile, don't buy in T!

    I disagree with msm:eek: and I have a clear SEL of £1 RTC in M. Some 'offers' are better than others.

    I don't bother with things like this anymore:

    Ambi Pur Plug-In Diffuser Unit


    Store_8.15px.png
    [Strike]£2.00[/Strike] £1.00 £1.00 / Freshener Valid until 17/07/2016
    Store_2.15px.png
    £1.00


    Another £1 vs £1 item:(: One of my 'missing' items yesterday was JS Golden Ale (500ml). I didn't have it in any of my four Ms but I think it is in M somewhere and it's still on msm for M at £1. However, it looks like it's come off A mbuy and gone down to £1 online in A:( so, for that reason, I'm crossing it off.

    I have also lost the McVities Chocolate Digestives (500g) - both versions, Dark Chocolate and Milk Chocolate - yesterday - no trace at all in any of my Ms: not even on the aisle ends. This is consistent with msm which now shows "---" on each of them for M - it showed that before, however, when I still had them and it seems they've now disappeared (they have for me at the moment). One of these was picking up what seems to be incorrect high price for M earlier but, if my own no trace is a more general thing, the APG might now go N/A:( - which is no good as they are 2 for £3 expense in A! However, :idea:I've now decided to post about my failure to find them yesterday - could it be that they went onto even cheaper RTC than £1 or that, maybe, they are even available in someone's M, whether with or without SEL or with or without correct SEL, and may be significantly cheaper than £1? Either that or it seems at least four different Ms have taken every pack and all evidence and SELs completely off the shelves as if they've been instructed to withdraw them!

    If they have been (and therefore still are, in some M) real cheap RTC in M (for example like 10p items, conceivably these are in the 'right' product area) and everyone in my stores has been buying them over the weekend whilst I've not been there, yet again these people are picking up items at real cheap prices and not telling any of us! (I can't believe that, apparently, no-one has posted outside of this site (e.g. on hotdeals) saying they bought Bassett's Jelly Babies at 50p in M towards the end of last week so it seems whoever did manage to buy them is keeping it all to themselves!) For now, I can't find the McVities Chocolate Digestives jumbo packs in M, but I will look out for them.

    I also do have my occasional wonder about the 750g Shredded Wheat Bitesize. It was allegedly 79p at one point last week but all the SELs I am seeing are £3.15 and I scanned it earlier once and it was £3.15. It's also been showing £3.15 throughout online as far as I'm aware, so there's no indication it was 79p on m.com. As far as I am aware, it's always been £3.15 - however I do have the odd Ms here and there that only have the 500g Bitesize Shredded Wheat version and no 750g Bitesize and it does make me wonder whether they did have 750g before but completely cleared it out at 79p before I ever got there. There are no SELs and no evidence of them and indeed no space on the shelves for them now in these stores.

    Meanwhile, the best I can do is Bitesize Shredded Wheat 500g in M at £1:(. That does seem to be £1 in M judging by at least two offer labels with end dates in the future, although msm/m.com have not been showing the £1 price.

    Apparently okra is a type of Brussel Sprout - I never knew that!


    It's related to Hibiscus, cotton and cacao plants. It is related to the mallow family.

    I received the 'orange hand wash' too. Does anyone else think it looks like the Liz Earle Orange Flower Hand Wash? The bottle looks similar to the Liz Earle ones. If it is it costs £14 at John Lewis!!!!! :eek:
