EDIT: I didn't buy 60 PCE Giant stripes it was only the one!

I bet they're still on in M - they look like they will be. Those Gus are still £2 - at least I've seen some of them and they are (I've not paid too much notice to them as straight £2 price wouldn't have been any good). I think those Pizza Expresses will still be £3 as well - I think I've seen an offer on them in M (although, again, straight M price itself when buying in M would not be any good - which of course is why everyone's buying in T!:T:rotfl:). I think T's M prices get collected again sometime on Thursday (not sure whether they update that day or Friday) - I think, if there's a glitch, T have been known to change them though. At the moment, I'm surprised they have all those Gus as I didn't notice all of them. T's price collectors doing better than me:eek::rotfl::rotfl:. (The reason I didn't notice the Gus is not a fault of mine - rather, their M price means that they are not within the scope of my price collection, unless I had known in advance of going to M that there was some 'glitch' on them from elsewhere.)

Of course, M have none of the Haribos do they?:rotfl: No Flumps in M either apparently according to T's agents.

Bet they thought they did quite well there, saving £3.77, when in fact they paid T a total of £4.50 for their Butterkist Popcorn (a penny more on each than T's shelf price) instead of buying them in M at total of £3. (Or even doing a separate comparison on them a day later, with a new shop maybe with some pizzas and Gus:rotfl:.)

In case the pizza glitch sill works tomorrow, the 10p sweets in T's are 6 for 50p-may help with fillers

Especially good if none of them pick up an M price:D:rotfl:.

A v M

On cooking oils - the Mazola Corn Oil (1L) - it's been down to £1 in A before but that was so long ago - may have gone onto RTC in M. I couldn't find it in most of the Ms yesterday - but then again not all Ms had it in the first place. I did find it in one of them - not on the regular shelf, instead on the RTC shelf knocked down to £1.25 (wish it had been lower than that!) - I don't know whether that's a store-specific reduction or whether they have gone down generally in M to that - or maybe to even lower? Their absence from the regular shelving in M tipped me off onto this.

I have just enjoyed a lemon GU cheesecake for my breakfast

Morning, nowhere near as popular as the pizza or GU

Other Quorn offer 3 for £4.00 meat free slices ending today and should glitch.

https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87426

Best comparison seems to be the meat free bacon rashers at £2.15 each - £6.45 v £4.50 Tesco or Waitrose.
Meat free Pepperoni Slices - £2.00 each - £6.00 v £5.25 Sainsbobs.
Meat free Sausage Roll £1.70 each - £5.10 v £4.50 Tesco.

Comparison still showing on Mysupermarket for now but may disappear this morning.
