Kiwi Shoe Passion Ball of Foot Gel Cushion£3.70 £1.98:eek: I think not, but now reinstated on this list anyway:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Actually this had been moved to the new list on post 12, as one of my "long lost" items, but I have now found it:j - sort of. It's now showing online of all places - looks like it has finally come into Leamington M, absolute months after being on RTC and being seen only ever in one store in the South West of England for me - seen just once, months ago, and not seen ever since. However, it's not in many stores at all I reckon, if it really is anywhere, and I think the APG doesn't check Leamington so I doubt it will be in a price collection store at all. I've been through tens of stores and not seen it in any of them ever! So, it is still around in M, even though I do not see it in stores and only ever had one sighting of it many months indeed ago. I think it's now randomly just appeared in Leamington!:huh: I now bet everything I have got on post 12 is now still in some M somewhere - even now months and months after complete no sightings for me! So, keep looking and let me know if you find any of them in your M.

And there I was, just checking the Savvy buys for M on msm to see if there was anything I hadn't got:rotfl:. (I think I may be identifying the Tropicana Trop50 juice in M later today - as it looks like that may have gone on offer in M after Monday.)

I think it may be an idea (for me later!) to just run my entire list on post 12 through msm to see if some of the items are now on there, as items come and go and come back again in different Ms. There are items that may originally have been online (at the original time I first identified them), as I reckon they were in Leamington M at the same time, but which may have disappeared from online - and also disappeared for me from all stores I happen to have visited since (if they were ever in there when I wasn't there before) - but could come back onto online if they just happen to be put back out onto the shelves at Leamington (maybe they find some long-lost stock in the back room?) and go back onto online. I've just had a quick look for the Batiste shampoo that was RTC £1.87 - I bet it still is, in other words somewhere - and it's not back online or not yet. I reckon it disappeared from Leamington when it went offline months ago, but was definitely still around as I managed to catch up with it for several months using a range of different stores and chasing it from one to another, until eventually it's disappeared and been in no stores I've seen for months. If one of them ever comes back to Leamington, I reckon it will come back online (I could be totally wrong as it may be that online doesn't reflect Leamington after all, contrary to what I believe) - until then, they are almost certainly still in some M out of 500, even though I have had absolute no trace for probably six months.

In the case of the Kiwi Ball of Foot Passion, it was not online when I first found it in a store. I have not seen any evidence of it ever since. Until just now, and this is the first time I have ever been aware of it being online (on m.com/M price on msm). I think it was not in Leamington before (judging by online and me never seeing it there - it could have been there even though I've never seen it, and I've never visited Leamington M so I'm going entirely by what is online) but I think it's come into Leamington all these months later (unless of course I'm wrong about Leamington entirely). As far as I am aware, it's an RTC that started months ago (could even nearly be a year) - of course it could have been at that RTC somewhere else (some M I never visited or never visited at the right time) before I ever first came across it - and it's clearly still ongoing, even now and price unchanged, and is in some probably minority of stores, one of which is possibly now Leamington.

I've had the item on my list continuously for months, though adding a "I think not" after not seeing it anywhere for several months and moved it only a week ago to post 12 as part of my attempt to remove the clutter from the main M lists - moving to there the items that I, er, :oimagined that M might not have anymore:eek::eek::rotfl: (but that's just the stores I happen to visit, that's the problem with knowing what has gone as it seems all the items are somewhere - I bet those alcohol drinks I've moved to post 12 are in fact still in M and have just been moved there simply because I haven't seen them in my 20 different stores in the last few months:rotfl:. Someone will know for a fact they are, as they have them in their M right in front of their eyes, and as usual they are keeping schtum again:D. So, there's hope for the JS Golden Ale bottle that I haven't lost for quite yet long enough to remove to post 12, even though I just cannot find it anywhere at all at the moment:rotfl::rotfl: - and despite expanding my stores by a further six stores last week as well! And checking another further two on Monday but, no luck in either of those either!)

The trouble is that, when I find the Kiwi Ball of Passion in just one store many months ago, it may not be an APG store and not been in any of the APG stores (it wasn't in any other store for me then) and, when it's now clearly in another M (probably Leamington), may not be in an APG store now either. It may have been briefly (probably, if at all) in one APG store at some random point in the last few months but cleared since and we don't know when, if at all, it ever was (probably during all the months I have had no track of it:rotfl: - but, by now, of course "knew" that it would still be around continuously at its same price somewhere). The RTCs can work at the outset - and I reckon the Garnier Sun Protection SPF 20 200ml is one of those - as they tend to be in multiple stores at the start of their RTC, but then quickly clear out of many of them and become in much fewer stores. I think it's possible the Garnier has, after appearing last Wednesday in an APG store, disappeared immediately from all APG stores and could be in none of them by Monday. It depends on whether it's £2 price was low enough to sell it out of the store (I reckon it's more likely to be just one store in which the collectors had it) last weekend, after the APG had it in that store of theirs last Wednesday. So, we unfortunately don't know if it will now work or not - and I'm sorry I'm now sowing doubt about it - but that's because I haven't seen it in stores I've been in and, if I do now see it in a store I visit, it could be in none of the APG stores at that time. If however I proceed now to see it in every store I visit from here on in, then it would seem it's very likely that it will be picked up again in an APG store.

Then again I see 1Kg carrots in every store and it seems they don't stand a chance:rotfl::rotfl:. But that's fortunate at the moment as M is much higher, although A is a bit high on the carrots at the moment itself. (I write "it seems..." as watch this now be the first time they compare against M for months:rotfl: - if I said it doesn't stand a chance, this will be the first times it goes and compares no doubt...:D:(:rotfl:.)

Morning All.

Did a round trip of 3 supermarkets yesterday. M's for more D and A sausages and Mullers. T to use up U B rice coupons and rinse aid coupons. (Not really money saving enough for the Elite, but rice useful store cupboard stuff for the kids when we are on hols). A for Teabags and Sharwoods Korma. Wombled 1 receipt for £2+. My Mr A is soooooo tidy these days!

Finished our Jason Bourne film marathon, by going to the cinema last night for the latest one. All car chase and not much clever story. 😒

Hoping for a 'doing day' today. Too many projects on the go , and need to finish them!

Have a good day. H.E. X
