If you are near a large debenhams you can book a personal shopper at no charge. That way you do not have to hunt for what you think you are looking for as the lovely lady does it for you after a quick chat and leaves you to drink tea.
Only way mum with clothes shop now. No pressure to purchase anything.

Oh - I'll definitely remove this item, expensive £1 in M, from the M list as, really, that was always too dear. I had £1 showing in my first store on Monday but, when my second store had a SEL for £1.32:eek:, I had to get two stores afterwards to say £1 before I thought the 'offer' was still on:rotfl:. At least three stores (they're totally different ones to Monday) showing £1 Wednesday and I didn't bother with the fourth or fifth on this item. All to no avail:rotfl::rotfl: - I did think they shouldn't really be on the list and, when the next update is completed, they won't be:cool::D:):rotfl:.

Had a lovely evening. Met a friend that I have neglected the last couple of years. Not through choice, just through circumstances. Was lovely to catch up, a really nice evening.

:think:But 84 washes in M is £3? (Nonetheless, it's not "Creations" - not that that makes any difference - I suspect it's all the same really and just a marketing thing:rotfl:). And with fabric conditioner (own label) in A having been really cheap, I don't think I'll bother with 33 wash version, sadly, unless there's a glitch on any A mbuy:rotfl:.

I cant stand Gove for many reasons, but give him his dues, he is a good speaker. But I am convinced he is only going for brexit so that he can go for the PM job if they win.

So, I think that in M overall (in other words it's entire estate of over 500 stores, not that I've even visited 1% on Wednesday) there isn't much change between Monday and Wednesday, apart from the small pizzas not being on 2 for £1 mbuy anymore and the M Cat Milk mbuy possibly:D ending. [EDIT: And the 1Kg 'fresh' sausages going up in price or a new version of them coming in at higher price - see later post.] I have seen that Brakspear Oxford Gold 500ml has gone up in price - from £1 to £1.65 and any 4 for £5 - although this probably ended on Monday when I couldn't find it in the six stores I used then, at the same time that several other 500ml bottles went onto straight £1.

I have found M 2 Handmade Steak Burgers at £1.50 on Wednesday. I found some at £1 on Monday - however I think that is not a price increase as this is clearly a case of stock on different BCs in different stores and the £1 packs will still be available somewhere. I did take the BC on Monday, aware of this issue from previously, and, indeed, it is a different one to the stock I had on Wednesday. Glad Savvy is on the ball again:rotfl: - and won't be deleting the Burgers at £1 unlike what he may have done on finding products on different prices on different days two years ago:o:o:rotfl:. I do things correctly these days. I think:D:rotfl::rotfl:.

(Remember when I was deleting items that were in your Ms simply because they'd disappeared from mine?:o:o Anyway...:rotfl:) So I don't think there's much change, apart from above and apart from some item that is not on my list, that I've not seen in any of the stores I've visited at any time, probably going up or down in price in some store that I've never visited:rotfl:. The main change this time is to my own knowledge due to every M having a completely different range of items and a different set of products to what it had last time I visited it.

I'll therefore by making some changes to reflect my changed view on some items. There are some items that I did not have in any of the six stores on Monday now in one, or even two, of the five stores (I eventually managed five) on Wednesday. There are some items I don't have in the five on Wednesday that were in the one of the other six on Monday, some that are duplicated from one then to another one now, items that I've gained and lost - some items seem to be in more stores than I imagined and some are maybe not as widespread as I thought, so I will be making changes on the list to reflect that. As to the Cat Milk, well - more later...

The other change, of course, is the pack of 4 Birds Eye grills at 81p RTC that I mentioned earlier. I literally caught that in one of my five stores only and by about ten minutes. Had I visited just ten minutes earlier than what I did, I think I would have missed it! It was about one minute after I'd just walked through the freezer aisles - and then I turned around and noticed a staff member making a change to the SELs. So, I went back and did the entire freezer aisles again - and there it was! Literally just put onto the SEL immediately after I'd first been there. There are other Birds Eye 4 pack grills but, as far as I am aware, they are not on RTC price. Do check though - as you never know, the information I've been told at the till might be wrong. I had only BE Sweet & Sticky in that one store. However, I've come across other versions (Light & Crunchy and straight Crispy Chicken) in a further store visited tonight - and, coincidentally, just those two happened to be without SEL - I've had them checked however and full price £3.24 is coming up on the till on each of them. So, as far as I know, it's just the Sweet & Sticky BBQ - although I don't rule out (there I go again:rotfl:) that there could be others elsewhere that I haven't had in my stores yesterday.

There were a couple of other items in the freezer aisle, in the store where the BE SEL was changed whilst I was there, that were incorrect SELs - and I went back round the aisle and, sure enough, they'd been changed to the correct offer prices:T. Including the Bernard Matthews Easy Roast Turkey Roast that I believe has been incorrect in that store for over three weeks:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. At last, it's now right!:D:j:rotfl:

EDIT: I thought that the 1Kg Sausages would most likely indeed pick up the new higher price. However, given that there are no SELs (as far as I've seen), perhaps they will go N/A:) (which would be good, or at least better than £2 vs £2.57, but would now lose the 10% that would have been £2 vs £2 on old expired M price). I could be wrong as maybe there are "£2.57" SEL Ms now and I would have had a different view if I had happened to visit one of those stores.
