Hoping you all get some lovely bargains, x

Don't feel hurt for me - I don't feel hurt at all. Hope you feel better:).

If you start feeling hurt, I'll start feeling upset as well:rotfl::rotfl:. Feeling hurt at your hurt at me not being hurt(:rotfl:). Then where would we be? I tend to feel sad for others when they are sad. So, please try not to go down that road!:cool: Or, if you have started to, come back up from it as I am not hurt.

As long as you are cool with it Savvy..we'll be cool....but there are a great many here who really do care about you,value your contributions and would not want to see you displaced.

I think we should leave the thread as it is...its been started so it may as well continue....but lets hope that perhaps when the time is right for the next one little more consideration is given.

Seen as its been started by nerfy...lets hope he sees fit to share any glitches his other friends find....

Hellmann's Real Mayonnaise (200g)£1.45 £1.00:eek::eek: Probably not. Also see SP above [Strike]and 400g versions on £1.50 price in M (see msm).[/Strike]
Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise (200g)£1.39 £1.00:eek::eek: See above.

I think these are quite risky now - and other products/sizes cheaper in any event. I think the 400g Hellmann's have sneaked up in price in M from £1.50 to £2. I think they were out, now with £2 big card, at the front of at least one of the Ms I saw yesterday - thus undoubtedly having people fall for buying them at a more expensive price than they were last week. I've seen this happen on products in store in M before - out at the front on offer and then they put the price up a bit, but still out at the front with that now increased price. So, not everything put right in front of you is a good price at all. In fact, like much of what is mentioned on the tannoys - and, probably, much of what is in TV advertising, attention seems to be drawn towards items that are higher prices or at least not very good price per unit - attention towards the items that make them money (and wouldn't you do that if your aim was to make money?).

M seems to be quite pricey on fresh fruit and veg. at the moment. I wonder if they are having an advertising campaign about fresh being best again?:think: (I don't tend to watch much commercial television these days.) It's even making whoopsie prices much worse. I don't seem to have much at all on fruit & veg. on the Avs M list - just about just the bananas at the moment and the others aren't really fresh fruit items, but packs such as Coleslaw.

Salad Tomatoes 6 pack are now 65p in M:(. However, even the 58p offer didn't work out too good for the amount you got. Much better are the 750g Salad Tomatoes packs, unusually that's a buy in M (at the time when much else in that section seems pricey) - in M at 92p - unfortunately the 750g Salad Tomatoes in A have been N/A for M. I don't think they realise the tomatoes in M are salad tomatoes.

It hasn't bothered me - so I can't make it do so. Anyway, I'm just pressing ahead now and trying to start updating the M list.

Yes and let's all do the same

M seem to be changing pack size on the Savers Bran Flakes now. However, I don't know whether this is the case yet, as I've visited stores I don't normally visit (could be possible they generally have different sizes to mine). if they are moving to another pack size as it will make them non-comparable from A (unless A later goes and changes its pack too - and I don't see why they would). There was no way to tell from the BB dates whether the 750g stock was significantly older - as the BB dates on the different pack sizes were roughly about the same.

M currently have Savers Bran Flakes (500g) and Savers Bran Flakes (750g). You may find both of them in your M or you may have only the 500g packs or only the 750g packs. I had all three situations yesterday. Or you may have neither of them at all:rotfl: - in fact I think there will be some minority of stores with that situation as I remember starting off a price collection from a smaller M a few months ago (logistically had to start at the smaller store on that occasion - although it wasn't ideal) and Savers Bran Flakes were one of the items I had to carry over to the next store as I couldn't find them at all. That was when I was only looking for 750g (but would have seen 500g if there were any - like I did yesterday - I thought the price had dropped substantially when I first saw it but then noticed it was a smaller pack so, sadly not). I wasn't aware to be looking for 500g anywhere and - as far as I know - they are brand new in M.

I think M is 57p on 500g Bran Flakes (if I have remembered that correctly) and of course 88p on 750g. In fact it looks like 750g might be disappearing - or maybe not? - as I notice they are no longer in stock on m.com, though the 500g product has yet to make it to online. 57p for 500g would actually work out cheaper than 88p for 750g - seems to be a very clever move by M as 57p is slightly cheaper than 88p for 750g but more expensive than 10% cheaper than 88p which won't be available if M changes pack size completely. However, it's possible they didn't even have this in mind.
