The smileys are case sensitive

If you try to post a message that is all CAPS the site thinks you are shouting and so it converts every upper case to a lower case when you hit "post" which means the smileys don't work

I wasn't shouting and just clicked the little icons on the right.

Goes into the naughty corner...

It is really weird, but I may follow you with this. My dog is getting old, and has often been sick after eating. She is on half portions which has helped. She has seen the vet a few times... I think the vet thinks I am over reacting (he is DS3 friend's father... so we have know him for nearly 20 years). She has even gone off meat.

She also has two lumps, which the vet recommended leaving... I can understand his views as she is really getting old (she is a 13 year old lab who came out of puppyhood about 6 months ago, and went straight into extreme old age!)

Always worth a try SSM. I find that Chappie Chicken wet food is very good for dogs with digestive problems, recommended by my vet. Though Berry had to then moved on to Royal Canin Gastro Intestinal Low Fat about a year ago for his pancreastitis - thinks it's the most expensive dog food you can get, though I get mine online ... mainly from ZooFAst in Poland

Exactly. Only we can judge that properly ♥

Is this now on 2 for £4 in A? It's the same individual price as the others that are now on that offer. Or maybe this particular one has merely gone up from £2 to £2.98 - it would not surprise me though if it had joined an mbuy 'offer' that was merely the same price as before but now requiring more to be bought and individual price gone up:D (which may be a good thing if this really is on the mbuy and compares with a glitch against M at 2 for £4):

Maybelline Color Show Nail Polish - 46 Sugar Crystals



£2.98 £2.98 / Polish

£3.00 any 2 for £4.00

I bet it's straight £2.98 and not on the offer (after all, it was straight £2 before) and therefore they've merely put the price up. However, I do not know: it does need to be checked at the SS to see if it's 2 for £4 (I don't trust tills these days:rotfl:).

Savvybuyer

Color Show 327 Pink Slip also gone up from £2 to £2.98 in A (it seems the ones that were £2 before may be straight £2.98 but the ones that are £2.98 are now £2.98 and 2 for £4). Have the previous £2 ones been left off the relatively new mbuy or not?

Savvybuyer

Different offer (don't be confused). Gone OOS online though - could it be a visible trigger to this other offer?

Savvybuyer

I think this one "should" compare against M's 2 for £4 mix and match, as I seem to have identified a matching item at A and M, but whether they will have these dodgy items in their price collection stores and what exactly they will pick up there I don't know. Note that I myself have failed to have this one until now as not in my three useless stores:rotfl:. I've gone elsewhere though and maybe the APG will have a completely different range. The good news may be that this one now is from a suspected price collection store. But I bet it isn't one after all. It would need to be a visible trigger to stand any hope of picking up M's mbuy.

The others I have found in M, that I have found to be online for A, are on my list. I have not put this one on, since I don't add items that show OOS for A as they are considered risky - they may not be on the APG if they aren't online and may therefore fail to compare:wall:. I'm banging my head (not literally) as the list has a different purpose - whereas if it's a trigger glitch, you may not want it to appear. But it won't count as an item towards the eight and it won't compare if it's invisible (and therefore I will not put it onto the list as there is no comparison) but it may briefly appear on the APG and be a visible trigger whilst it risks dropping off entirely after a few days. I still don't add OOS items to the list though as they are therefore, for the list purposes, considered risky:wall: (they won't themselves compare if they don't appear and it's a comparison list - it's a highly technical point and you'll forgive my pedantic nature). However, really it's wrong to consider them risky and therefore 'not for the list' if the point is you want it to be a glitch and may therefore be the best item - hopefully visible trigger at this stage. You know that the list always excludes the glitch items:D:rotfl:.

(It doesn't actually - it's because I don't know in advance that an mbuy is to drop off and therefore don't usually have the item at all as the basic M price and 10% off isn't seen as anywhere near good. That's the reason why glitch items often get left off - besides they are usually one day wonders and gone before I can put them on. There may be glitches already on the list - such as the Hartley's jelly pots and Ambrosia Custard pots (do not mix and match Ambrosia with Hartley's except for the trigger itself - two different sets of pricing in M and they do not mix) assuming that the Hartley trigger is still available and still is a trigger). May be v.useful in being up to four separate items to the eight if still ongoing.)

To my surprise, I've updated what I have from Monday - so the list on page 1 is now up-to-date in so far as what I have. I will just sort out the formatting (which will take forever and a day!) and then be off.

Morning

The Ambrosia offer looks to be ending today, 97p each or 2 for £1.00.

https://groceries.asda.com/promotion/2-for-pound350/ls87584

Most currently 2 for £1.00 in Tesco and Morries and some 49p in Waitrose. Morries offer was picked up on APG before (thanks to shop confirmed and posted by Lango1966 :T )

Pay £1.50 for 2, APG £1.06, so 22p each.

Also the 2 for £2.00 assorted biscuit offer ending, but looks like they have dropped/rolled back pack price to £1.00 on some packs that were in the offer.

https://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/promotion/ls85896

If the McVitie’s Gold are still £1.60, they should compare £1.00 in Tesco & Sainsbobs and 2 for £2.00 in Waities. £3.20 v £2.00. 30p a pack Would just check what they scan through at. If no SEL still up, check offer comes off.
