Oh not you aswell that is struggling. I'm looking on line but struggling they either have tops but no bottoms or no tops in my size

You need to have several windows open on pc to get a match. Top from one store bottoms from another. Plus finding codes I had a very interesting sunday.
Swimwear 35 had slot of stock but not the cheapest. H and M had a bit left too.
Best bet for instore is a large debenhams. Even places like fig leaves didn't have cup size in stock.

Will let you know if we find a surprising stash left in any shop.

Jammie Dodgers and President Brie should, hopefully, be Avs M but the Iceberg Lettuce M price dropped off the APG some time ago - last I saw was that it didn't compare so that would need to bought in M for 'best price' (with the CB).

All for the sake of 5p on the Dodgers and 10p on the Brie:( - however I suppose they may be useful if already doing a shop, if you already need both (when does anyone "need" Jammie Dodgers?:think:) and then counts as two items within the shop - fewer now needed to reach 8!:cool:

So I'm back (but probably gone offline again by the time most people read this), I've not caught up (as usual!) and I'm wondering if anyone tried the Weetabix and got an M price of £2.51:rotfl::(. I have some further stores that are showing that price (fwiw).

Yet again yesterday, my final store of the day providing me with all the outstanding items I really needed to see:rotfl:. I had a few outstanding - and no problem on the Walker's toffees this time as I had 63p right from the start - just depends whether I pick a store that happens to have changed its SEL - instead, of course, other items:( that required carryover (and rather too many for my liking but not to worry as the other stores resolved them to my satisfaction). I was there, in the last store, and yes they've got that item and, ooh yes, they've got the next item I was looking for, and I had a bit of a chuckle as, one by one, all of the items I needed to see turned out to be there! I was there like the Churchill dog at one stage - that I now recall, on one occasion, quite a while ago, went "Yes" to a question the answer to which turned out, after an Advertising Standards Authority investigation, to be "No", so that that dog had, on one occasion in the past, lied. Or, in fact, not lied, as of course no-one ever lies - instead perhaps replied in a way that was "likely to mislead" people:rotfl:. Anyway, I found all my necessary items in the final store. After I'd found one in a rather unusual place in the earlier store so didn't need to check if the next store had that:rotfl:. The items I hadn't found, however - I was surprised my final store would have them. I always think, when I've got items from a different set of stores the previous time, that I'll never find them in another set - but, somehow, I always seem to do so:T:rotfl:.

Four times in a row now - different sets of stores every time (no duplicates across days, all different each day) - the last store has completed the jigsaw precisely each time:rotfl::rotfl:!

I think it's the few price increases that stand out from yesterday now (or price increases at any rate from what I already have on the list) although I'm sure that some items have gone down as well (just that I can't think of any:rotfl:).

Overall, not much change, but some significant items increasing in price. The fresh Pork Shoulder will be off. Did you notice how that appeared on the list last week from the Monday update, got crossed off later in the week and then appeared as a new item again earlier this week? That's right - only on a Monday:p. I'm crossing it off again as, once again, it has gone from £2/Kg to £3.50/Kg in M. It did the same last week. It seems they may want weekend shoppers to pay fuller price for it, but have a £2/Kg price for those that shop when fewest people shop all week - Monday and Tuesday:mad:. (I don't know if the price changed on Tuesday, however, once again, it is off by midweek - for the second week in a row.) There is frozen Pork Shoulder (1.5Kg) in M at £2.72 - which works out a little over £1.80/Kg - but it seems that that won't be available to as many people - I've found only two stores from 24 visited recently (not all yesterday obviously:rotfl:) that have had it - so, yet again, the best prices may be confined to fewer customers whilst they get the majority to pay higher prices:(.

The Bernard Matthews Turkey Chunks and Chicken Chunks and one other that isn't sold by A (or isn't online at any rate so is no-go on the APG) have gone up from £1 to £1.32:(, doing the same now as the 7 pack 140g Chicken Slices and Turkey Slices did a few weeks ago. Did anyone notice the M American Fried Chicken Slices (140g) disappear from the list? That's right - they were found last week at 75p but, by Monday, they'd gone up to £1, with a nice yellow price label as if that was some special offer price. So those have disappeared from the list:(.

The Maped Fun Fancy Eraser that was 25p (and may have been 5p at some early part of this year) had gone up to £1 between 25th July and 15th August and it has now been "reduced" to clear at 50p:(. So avoid that too as it is now paying twice as much - or, even, ten times the 5p price of the last 'clearance' (assuming it was the same one that I found elsewhere earlier). This slipped off the radar for me as I haven't seen it in a store in the last couple of weeks but wasn't too concerned about it to have to see it - but in those two weeks it appears to have been £1!

The McVities Milk Chocolate Hobnobs jumbo pack (431g) - I can't see it on my list, did I assume that the packs would have gone past their BB date by now or would have all sold out and therefore delete them?:eek::think: They were one of the 10p items in M earlier, although I never found them. Sadly, they have (unless it's a different pack of the same weight on a new BC) come back into M and are now £1.65:(. So, that now appears to be off - I've had two SELs of that and scanned them at the SS and they are £1.65.

M appears to have done the same sort of thing on the 3Kg Don Valerio Fusilli:(. (Did you notice this one on my list from my Monday collection updating?) This Fusilli eventually went - for so few people indeed I imagine - to 50p RTC towards the end of July. They have not gone from M - of course. I managed to pick a store on Monday that had them on the shelf:):T - complete with £2 SEL:(:(. I scanned them at SS and they turned out to be £2:p. So, it looks like - whilst £2 would previously have been an okay price - it doesn't look at all good in the light of the product quadrupling in price from 50p.

Fwiw, the McVities Digestives jumbo packs (500g), that cleared at £1 earlier in the year, have been back in M for a number of weeks already but are currently £1.65.

As regards the 10p items, the McVities Milk Chocolate Hobnobs, that were reported to be, appear to be no longer - and I think some items will be approaching their BB dates of the longest dated stock I'd previously seen (although these 431g hobnobs are now March 2017), so that I will delete them off the list anyway. I think the Dark Chocolate Continentals will now be just past their longest BB date, so I will remove them. The 40p Alpen bars I also think would have been BB gone by now, so I'm going to take those off the list as well. The Party Footballs I think several of them would be BB September 2016, so not quite there yet, but I haven't seen any of them for ages (that means nowt though:rotfl:) - however given that it's possible the 10p items have gone up in price, if they are anywhere, I will have a think about them and possibly :eek::eek:remove:rotfl: some of them!

Winter Warmer Mulled Wine (75cl)£3.00 I can't find this in M now - did it go onto RTC a few months ago and clear out of stores? That would stand to reason, given the name of the product at this time of year. I shall keep looking:rotfl:.

I didn't give up! I thought there had been some suggestion in one of my stores, having to read between the lines again - probably from the total absence of the product from the shelves:rotfl: - that these had gone onto RTC. (It may have been a busy day and the haze of a brief glance and me seeing some momentary RTC sign that didn't register with me in some store some time ago - I don't think I did but - maybe I dreamt it:eek::rotfl:.)

Well, they have now turned up for me! I have found them in Crewe:T:T. I didn't have to look very closely for them - there were quite a lot on the shelf and quite prominent that they have gone onto reduction at this store. I think they are still £3 as the regular BC on the bottles would 'probably' scan at that but I reckon that what has happened is that any stores that still have stock left are marking them down (I could be totally wrong though and for them to turn up in someone's store at regular £3:rotfl:) and there were store-specific stickered BCs on top of the normal ones, which may be replicated elsewhere, and they are £1.50, at least in Crewe as of yesterday.

I will obviously be changing the note, as "I can't find this in M now" is now incorrect. Still no luck on the John Smith's Golden Ale bottles:rotfl: - can someone put me out of my misery and tell me what price M have those at now?:rotfl:

That said, about the Winter Warmer wine going onto RTC - obviously now is the time to be buying all winter products - I had some onion sets earlier marked on store-specific RTC in one store and I thought they might be clearing out of M too. Not so, as is absolutely obvious, from another store which I did not visit back then but have since visited, that they remain at £1 on the shelves there.

I did have some store-specific markdowns on some plants yesterday. I had the Grow Your Own Unicorn (vegetable plant) at 9p, some £2 version of the Potted Carnation marked to 99p (if only they would have some £1 BC stock around and mark that down even further:rotfl:) and Potted Geraniums (these are normally much higher price and therefore aren't on the list) at 49p in M in Stoke. This was yesterday though - I bet they all put them away and don't bring them out again today:rotfl:.

I had some Kellogg's 5 Grain Muesli Cereal Bars (both versions) each at 49p and a box of the Savers Strawberry Cereal Bars at 39p on RTC shelving at Stoke. They were all shorted dated though. I took the Nestle Shreddies 500g box at 55p:D:p:rotfl::rotfl:.

Meaning that... :eek:my 1Kg box from elsewhere earlier at £1.55 was too dear!:eek::eek: Should have been £1.10:p. However, I did not find a box of 500g Shreddies at 55p and a 1Kg box at £1.10 or even three boxes of 500g Shreddies at 55p each, so we just make do with what becomes available and I've got the best price on that so far. I had a damaged pack (but obviously fine inside) of the 500g Kellogg's:D Crunchy Nut 500g at 50p from another store:p.:D Crewe, however, were offering battered Shreddies 500g at £2.19:eek: on the RTC shelf whilst the regular stock is on offer at £1 - obviously some packs that were put there before the offer began.

The Walkers Crinkles 6 pack crisps have gone onto RTC in M - and it's proving very popular indeed (in the stores I've visited) - I first found - when I was unaware of them previously - only one version - and that one with a SEL threatening to be removed with a single pack that went from the shelves between my initial check and then my "oops I forgot to look at that" check that I did in my first store - and I did not take the pack. Then again, anything below expensive £1 will attract the muggles at 88p:rotfl:. I bought some packs of Hula Hoops (several months date) at 25p on the RTC elsewhere. (Details soon as I left some - I don't buy unnecessarily too many that we won't need:money: - as I'll go through some more RTC shelf items.)

There's a few other crisp and crisp-type products on RTC (nowhere near as good as the store-specific ones:rotfl:), including the Walkers Melts already on the list and also some Yushoi product at 76p - all four versions I have are on m.com - that seems to be very popular too. They didn't sell out the version that showed £1.52 SEL but which turned out to be on reduction too:rotfl:. I don't need online to tell me - I identified it from instore.

They could well be other crisps online on reduction that I know nothing about that I did not have in any of my stores:rotfl:.
