Really blustery here, shame I've run out of things to wash :rotfl:

Read Me Before You (again) last night - the whole book & woke up at 11.30am today
Might watch the film now - just to compare.

This had gone unavailable over the past couple of day so may work as a trigger in the bundle.



If it does then this looks like a nice comparison and there may be others.

Evening All,

AvM womble from today, looks like someone is having a barbecue.

1x Heinz Jalapeno Chilli Ketchup (220ML) £1.60 N/A
2x ASDA Butcher's Selection Sweet BBQ Rack of Pork Ribs (600G) £6.00 N/A
1x Rekorderlig Cocktails Wild Berries Cider Cocktail (250ML) £1.50 N/A

A bit of an expensive barbecue. Should have got the Jalapeno Chilli Ketchup when it was just 60p RTC in M.

(I haven't seen that in M for some time. Sort of disappeared for me in the last month. However, I feel there is always bound to be at least one M out of the 500+ in the country that had some stock in the back that they didn't bring out and rediscovered it only now and/or didn't change the SEL early on. Or otherwise I bet there is one bottle that got put onto some RTC shelf in some M somewhere that got put behind a load of other stuff piled high and has never been bought or discovered by a customer yet and thus has remained on that shelf, available to be bought at 60p, or maybe even lower now, and is still there even now: it's going to be on some reduced shelf in some store out of 500! Therefore M would have it and I can't say that they don't. I bet someone has this in M and A ought to be giving 10% cheaper:rotfl:. Except that it could be argued that, if the collectors don't have the SEL, A don't need to as that method of collection is clearly stated in the T&Cs.)

So just buy it in M at 60p! It will be as rare as hen's teeth and don't go there expecting to find it but I feel sure that someone will do so. I can't say M have gone completely OOS from every one of their stores. I am finding occasional bottles of RTC alcohol in random single stores some six months after they went onto RTC! And I found the old 4 pack of M Strawberry Ice Cream Cones in one store a couple of months ago (that I haven't been able to revisit) that were there three months after they had disappeared entirely for me from only one other store in which I'd seen them. So, I think M will have the Heinz Jalapeno somewhere even now (it's not as long as three or six months) even if it is now the single only bottle that they have anywhere in the country! Can everybody (sadly) prove me wrong please by everyone drawing a total blank, that is a total failure to find it despite real proper searching, in every M store? Ah, the difficulty of proving a negative:rotfl:.

Good morning.

Note to self - wake up before uploading receipts to CS and CoS! I have had to sacrifice a few items as I bought separate shops to claim on CS and CoS but Yeo was only on CS ... by the time I remembered I had already uploaded the baby food receipt so have had to sacrifice a claim to still get the yoghurt .

Anon

I've been having similar issues - some items being on one and not the other, some available in one shop but not the other ...

I got the baby good for shopimum and all the barcodes scanned nicely instore but of course when you get home they all need scanning again and the little shining packs reflect the light and then you need to scan the receipt 4 times :mad: - in the end OH was doing the scanning as got myself in a right tizz wazz about it
