I got it on ebay. It's handmade (as much of it that could have been anyway!) and the seller was fantastic in getting it to me within 24 hours of ordering.
And it was nicely :money: too :cool:

Exactly. I have this 'problem' every single time (although it isn't a problem as it is just something I routinely deal with as part of my price collection every time). That may be why the milk has failed - although I still had 2 for £2 on my store's shelf, SELs get moved, come and go, products come in and out, appear, disappear, reappear and disappear again at every M.
There is a lot from today (having missed Monday out) and it will probably take me a week to update it by which time it will be out of date. I've done four price collection of sorts, with bits of information from each of four stores. I thought I was spending far too much time in the first store and it felt like it was going on for ages and that it was turning into a full changeover three-hour price collection. However, I came out of the store and it was only two hours on:huh:. Trying to sort out the queries has taken me more time than the original price collection today.
I have so much and it's all over the place so I'm not going to try and tell you what the changes are. However, I notice you've already noticed one item, and I'll give you another one: Freedom Rhino Kitchen Roll (1 roll - 250 sheets) (says it is "tough and absorbent") is 50p.davemorton wrote: »Very pleased to be giving PD one

Cadburys fingers 114g box for 25p @ Morrisons
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cadburys-fingers-114g-box-for-25p-morrisons-2449211
Milk Chocolate 114g is 25p and White Chocolate 114g is 25p also. I think they are incorrect to say the shelf says £1 but it scans at 25p though. I think that, if they look at the shelf carefully, they will see that the £1 price relates to the 138g packs which are on that price (of course, far worse value). The 114g pack is 25p but has no SEL. I think what they've most likely done is seen the 138g SEL but, purely by chance, have happened to pick up one of the 114g pack that may have got mixed into the same box and of course it has scanned correctly at its 25p RTC price. Therefore, it's a case of the correct SEL for the £1 product and the 114g pack, in their store, has no SEL. However, whatever way they found it, it's still a good find.
I have identified these two 114g products as each being 25p on my price collection earlier in the day, and without being aware of what was on this forum. Of course I needed one store that alerted me to the 25p price in the first place!
No surprise when I tell you I found absolutely no stock at all of the White Chocolate in my 25p SEL store. There was no SEL for Milk Chocolate 114g and the store didn't have any - but I managed to establish it is also 25p in another M (and it looks like they've found that product on hotdeals - so I'm technically giving you White Chocolate as an additional one to what you already knew). I was there, rejecting the "More to Share" packs with slight disdain - I don't want more to share! I want the packs that, by the absence of that flash on the packs, therefore, when displayed in a store in conjunction with those packs, impliedly have less to share. I want the less to share packs as they are far better value:D.
However, I don't want anyone to get me wrong and think I don't want to share my Cadbury's Fingers with anybody. I am fully in favour of sharing, especially as, for £1, I now have an extra 318g to share than those people that pick up the "More to Share" pack and end up with less to share for the same price:D.
I think it's correct to say however that the Freedom Rhino Kitchen Roll is marked £1 in at least one M but actually scans at 50p. I've found this purely by total chance. It was my third store before I saw the product at all. You won't be aware that, just before last week, I was almost at the stage of asking if anybody still had this product in their M, as it had disappeared entirely for me for what was becoming quite some weeks. (Of course I still kept it on my list - at £1:eek: - 'knowing' it would still be somewhere.) However, just before I was about to ask the question, last week, I did not need to do so - it suddenly turned up in one of my stores (from where it's now vanished:rotfl:).
So, it was the third store today before I had the product anywhere at all. No SEL but I thought I'd buy - having not bought any for a while - just one more roll to 'tide me over'. I got to the SS with the other items I was buying:eek: and it unexpectedly scanned at 50p:rotfl:. (I'm a bit miffed now that I bought several at £1 some months ago.) So, purely by chance, do I now know that the price on my list needs to be changed to 50p. I would have had a price of £1 if I had not happened to decide to buy it - I first saw the space where there was no SEL and imagined it would be £1. Now, when I look at that blank space, I can imagine a big "Freedom Rhino Kitchen Towel - 50p Reduced to Clear" offer label:D. I suspect that there will be at some M, whether or not there is any stock. My next M though has the product but with a £1 SEL:rotfl:.
So much for the Fiesta Kitchen Roll, of fewer sheets per roll, that had stock out in the middle of my aisles last week and with big £1 price:rotfl:. (I think that may have gone up now, unless the SEL in my store is wrong and it's got even better:rotfl::rotfl:.) And so much for the other kitchen roll of only 70 sheets that's also (according to the SEL though) £1. It's Freedom Rhino at 50p that works out best (unless the other roll is really 12p - it would have to be about that price before it became better and, as far as I know, it isn't - but I admit that that is going from what the SEL says:rotfl:). I like this - as usual, it's items that don't have any prices on the shelf that are the best value:rotfl:. Once again, not much I buy ever goes through at the SEL price in the store where I buy it, that's if there is a SEL wherever I'm buying it.
So, I think the key is to avoid buying anything that has a £1 offer on it - as those will be the ones that most people are buying and, on all three of these items, they will be costing a lot more!0
