    I've lost the (frozen) Halal Burgers. I've only ever had them in one M and they've not long been there. They put an offer of £1.50 onto them two weeks ago and fortunately indicated that the offer was valid until some date in July that I didn't think I could remember but now think it's 17th July. Then they moved the freezers around and they have totally vanished from my store. So, I'll just keep them on the list and until some time in July when I'll remove them (unless I see them again with a continued offer around that time, which is not impossible).

    I thought, when I saw them gone last week, how am I supposed to track these items?!?:rotfl:

    I thought the expiry date I saw, in a moment of haze, was something like 1st or 17th July - however, I now notice that 17th July is a Sunday so that it 'must' be that date.

    I did have other freezer items, in another store elsewhere, some months ago, vanish on me and it was the only store I'd ever seen the products in. But I thought the offer was off on those other items by then. Then, unexpectedly, I did come across one version of them in another store. That has now vanished completely from there:rotfl: but, not to worry, as several of the products (I now never know whether it is "all" of them or not) are now back for me in the other place:cool:. So, it's possible the Halal products (or one of them) will come back in one of my stores - or I might see them at some point elsewhere. They've moved the items around in the freezers, brought more items in and it seems they no longer have any room for the Halal burgers so they've removed them:(:rotfl::rotfl:.

    If you have one, or more, of the missing burgers for me in your M, I'm right about them aren't I? - it is 17th July?:think: TIA.

    Been a bit emotional myself today, you know when you get caught out. :o

    Walking in and seeing my new work tops fitted, brought tears to my eyes all thanks to my mum. :A

    Still no pic for you all as think I should wait until the cooker arrives as big gap, oh and I don't have a working sink yet no tap fitted but it's another step forward. :D

    Hope marmite has had his carpets fitted ok today. :)

    Perhaps they go down in price in store but up in price online:think:.

    Not particularly good but I have this as £1.90 RTC instore (M) on Monday. (M at Crewe in fact, since I happened to be travelling around Wrexham.)

    It was like this - and to a greater extent - last week, as I had items that at lower prices in store but were showing higher prices online and items coming off offer instore that showed an offer online:huh:. Just hopeless, as I thought, from instore, an offer had ended but online it looked like it had just begun.

    I don't know what the prices are. I have no clue anymore:rotfl:. Or that was last week. At least this time, so far, it's just this item.

    I also have the M own brand individual cat food tins that are on 10p More points offer it seems but every M I see is just showing straight 57p price on the points label. Maybe they want people to pick up just a single tin at 57p and therefore 47p net with the points, but in fact they are on 2 for 80p so would be better bought in twos (even if you are not collecting the points) than falling for buying one can and being brought into doing so by the points label. I can see why they might want people to pay more. There's no law that they have to display an mbuy price, I believe, if they display the individual price as that's all they are required to display. So, they can just show the straight price and have people paying 57p for 10p points rather than buying 2 for 80p.

    I'll keep these on, with the points, at 2 for 80p on my list as they are showing that online and until whatever date in the future it is and the last time these were price checked at the till instore, a couple of weeks ago, they did scan at 2 for 80p. Every store I see is just showing 57p and points (perhaps because the points labels just say 57p and the points offer) - but, at least I believe, they are 2 for 80p.:)

    Now they've disappeared from online - how am I supposed to know?:mad::rotfl::rotfl: (They were on there before with the mbuy offer until a date that has yet to arrive.)

    I was trying to check if it was straight 57p like I remembered or 59p. However, whatever the actual individual price is, it doesn't matter anyway.

    Or 50p RTC instore (not particularly good), depending on what you believe. Also Leek & Potato (at 50p), but another version is apparently 80p RTC in M and not 50p (the others allegedly full price, unless all the SELs haven't been changed).

    But not for buying in T as T shouldn't compare against RTC.

    In fact, £1.06 on the C&B might well be now why some of the Branstons individual cans are showing full prices online even though they are RTC instore. They've simply not updated the canned foods category of item on their website:idea:!
