How does this go "Unavailable" in A on msm when the price graph is showing it going down to £1 in only the past week?:mad: It seems to me that that could only be based on A's price as it's the only place showing any indication of ever having had it on msm - yet somehow msm has managed to get a £1 price (on the price graph), from somewhere, despite having no trace on a.com that results in the "Unavailable in A" marking? Has this product gone completely off a.com in the last few days? No use looking at a.com from where I am based as my local A does not have this product. Maybe A don't want to be 10% cheaper than M's price-matched price:p.

Taj Tropical Yucca Mogo Chips (1Kg) which are £1 in A, £1.50 in Sains. (no use:() are also £1.50 in M (supposed to be until 21st August) even though they are not online so don't risk those on an APG against M! Not that we'd buy this anyway:rotfl: - don't know why I'm taking details of these items when SP Oven Chips etc. (1.5Kg) at 75p. I just like my obscure items:D. That are regular and not obscure in some stores.

If so, I'd be inclined to get them on a vs T or vs W comp. - but check the competitor's website completely in order to make sure they really are nowhere - and see if vs M is 'safe' after all:rotfl:. I've no idea what they taste like, or any way to recommend or not recommend them (and of course I'm neutral and stuck on the fence:p), as I noticed this item as an additional item. I assume they are edible like any chips in date are:rotfl:. Those Island Delight patties - and of course there are some frozen versions that aren't online:rotfl: - look like - the fresh ones - that they've been 50p since 25 July. So, I'm a week and a bit out in picking them up - blame them as items that none of my regular Ms have. (They are - the fresh ones - on msm/m.com, however I can't always find everything on there without knowledge that they're on offer from instore. I'll add price alerts from msm for the future, whether I ever look at them or not.)

At least I have now identified one store that, for now at least, has about 4 or 5 different ranges that my stores don't have rather than just having one or two of them in other non-regular stores and having to visit separate farther-away stores at different times to get all the ranges. So I now have that one store I can sometimes go to to pick them all up, even if the store isn't extremely near to me.

Mr TS is off to the pub with his mates tonight. I have to pick DD up from work 6.30ish so nothing for me before then, not sure I have room in the fridge to chill anything but I do fancy something tonight.

Enjoy your evening LEJC, I have spent too long procrastinating and I'm off to Surrey tomorrow morning to babysit. :eek: I best get a wiggle on...

for some reason it defaults to an old account that I dont think we use very often when I sign in...I really need to probably shuffle through everything and get the correct accounts working....I could probably do with reordering new clubcards too as I think we have several of those n circulation as well...and probably only really use 1
Thats a job for a day when I need to exercise my brain I think.

It's one of those jobs that mhoc would find challenging and enjoy getting sorted...I think of it as a chore!

very true

But I need to delete my dads old CC card off the system as its top of the list RoboForm defaults to it which is annoying when you are trying to play on the twine website

Yes I do enjoy these knotty sorting out problems - excellent for rainy afternoons which we seem to have a lot of
Yesterday the sorting out was triggered by the replacement credit card arriving so I took off all the old and expired card numbers off Amazon and Paypal and updated nationwide rewards and then I went to Quidco and Topcash and sorted out the card numbers on there for the instore cashbacks
and I wont be loosing my CC card ever again because it was a longer job than I imagined

not quite what I was expecting but I will look out for them

http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/waitrose-price-comparison/Frozen_Ready_Meals/Taj_Tropical_Yucca_Mogo_Chips_1Kg.html

I wonder if they are similar to breadfruit...at first I thought of plantain but I think these look much denser.....and what would you have them with...sorry this has got me wondering if perhaps I've missed out on whole new element of cultural food....

someone with knowledge,please come to my rescue.
