    [Strike]Tommee Tippee Training Straw Cup 7m+ (230ml)£4.49 50p:rotfl::rotfl: I think not.[/Strike]

    I found this item - which, again, I only ever saw in a single store at the RTC price - in a store on Monday with full price £4.47:eek::(.

    I've now seen it at £4.47 SEL in a number of further stores. Quite a jump up from 50p! M seems to have brought in some baby aisle items as "New!" items. They may be slightly different versions from before - however there is a "New!" Tommee Tippee Training Straw Cup now at £4.47 in several Ms. Given the 50p price seen elsewhere in M before, it seems to me to be so so expensive! I prefer the old one:rotfl:.

    One week's "silly item" - it was never expected to compare against M at 50p in the first place, hence the 'roll-arounds' on the list - and indeed has never been seen comparing against 50p (although I've never seen it at all on a comp.). I'm removing it from Avs M. I don't rule out the possibility that there is some RTC version, on a different BC, that might still be available in a rarer M itself at either 50p or, even, some cheaper price than that. Otherwise, it does seem to have gone up from 50p to £4.47.

    my DS took his "nemesis" Mechanics (m1) maths paper for A level yesterday...sadly he doesnt think it was any better than when he took it last year so is now rejigging things with the hope of only dropping one grade overall in Maths....not as good as he would have liked but he's trying not to focus on it too much.....there are still 3 maths papers to sit and not a lot of margin for error now!

    Mechanics was my nemesis and my kids. Don't be too disheartened, the only way is up.

    I then studied maths at uni and managed to avoid mechanics totally.

    hopefully he will never really come into contact with it again going forward...its really just defined the subject that he can drop a grade in,,,,instead of having 2 to choose from ie Physics or Maths he's probably had the choice made for him a little earlier in the exam process than he would have liked.

    Maynard sports mixture big box 460g reduced to clear 50p in store at morrisons
    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/maynard-sports-mixture-big-box-460g-reduced-clear-50p-store-morrisons-2461639

    Well I didn't go to Huddersfield:mad::rotfl::rotfl:. That's the 'additional items in every store' that I would have had from Wednesday then:rotfl:.

    I'll add it to the list, eventually - I don't doubt the hotdeals report - and I'll have a look out for it at full price SEL in any stores in future:T.

    EDIT: Could be in any aisle, not just the sweets aisles, judging by the container shown on hotdeals (if that's replicated in other stores) - could be on normal shelves in other stores or on end of aisle shelving. In other words, anywhere:rotfl:.

    I did find this on Monday though - not v.interesting. That bold, on the item itself but not its price, will be disappearing soon - a bit of a clue there perhaps?:rotfl:

    England Flag Rugby World Cup (91.4cm x 60.9 cm)75p Maybe Scottish and Welsh versions available somewhere?

    Do I have the right price? Seemingly not:rotfl:. Found in another store on Wednesday - showing there at 19p RTC. Thank goodness I decided to walk down the drinks aisle:rotfl:. They were in a container. Found on Monday in the other store, hanging from a clip-strip in the gardening aisle:rotfl: - seemingly, now, with incorrect price, unless the 19p is a store-specific offer. I imagine they will be 19p elsewhere though.
