yes its worked before for me, 2 of the wave breaks - its a drink now, don't save for Christmas wine - its never on the stand next to the meal deals so you have to go and find it on the wine section.

Best to take them through the self scan if possible

One week the red version seemed to be added onto the list later and then it worked by buying 2 reds.

I am not getting them this week - its a bit of a sore point as yet. When we had to ditch everything out of the freezer the day we came back from hols it included several packs of marks rostis, a crème brulee and a lasagne which was supposed to be for Sunday night so we didn't have to cook or shop straight after coming home ...:(

I did the am& S deal last time too mhoc but the supervisor had to OK it. I didn't like the wine so won't be bothering again:o

Afternoon folks

I'm about to go in waitrose for only the second time in my life :rotfl: I had a hot deals alert that P20 was cheap in there and I'm off on my jollies in three weeks :j

What a waste of time that was - they didn't sell it and the next bus I got on stank proper of BO :eek:

Seeing people talking about the old No7 stuff, I'm on my last bottle of day serum - I'm gonna be screwed when that runs out :eek: :eek:

QoCs been on a bus:T

I have stopped bothering to put mine on the card.

I am still ploughing onwards but only through sheer dogged determination. My thinking is that there are so few other offers about - MOCs, try me frees, freebies etc - that if I keep using the card eventually something useful will appear.

I think I've had £2 off a bottle of wine and a discount for a Gastropud offer and that was all in how long is it - maybe over a year now. Best offer was buy a hot drink and get a free slice of cake so I just bought a tea for £1.90
and that is it but I live forever in hope.

OH has only recently got his card and he had a free drink on his card for the first 2 weeks - one every day - I think we managed to visit 8 marks over that fortnight, all trips out based around towns with a Marks caf! in

When I hid under your bed, I could hardly fit with the stash you have. There is a lot of dust though. :D:rotfl:

Ooops, I thought this was a private message.

The price collection yesterday started off very good - it took quite a short time in the first store and I ended up two hours ahead of schedule:T. But then, later in the day, it just expanded and expanded:eek:(:rotfl:)! Of course I had carryovers from the first store - items that they did not have (of those I needed to see) or prices on which there was some doubt or I wanted confirmation (and confirmation and confirmation and confirmation!) that they really are what is showing. The number of carryovers was no greater than it normally is. However, some of the items were just not being found in further stores.

I've had trouble finding some items this time, particularly a number of chilled items and despite eventually visiting six stores. I came up against no traces of most of them in further stores and not really much getting down. Each store did find something but these few items stuck around for me unfound. I managed to the find the Nestle Mousses in one store, and the Mattessons Meateors - which I went to my main store but found they had suddenly vanished from there:eek: - eventually turned up at the final store. I thought I was never going to see them that day and they weren't really a neccesary anyway as I'm clear on the price of those already. However, I have lost (for now) the Heinz Tomato Pork Sausages 4 pack. I eventually ended up with the six stores as the number that could be done within the day and didn't see them at all. I like the number six as I think it's the same number as the APG has and I think I'll use this number each time I can from now on in:rotfl:.

I therefore don't know if M has the Heinz Tomato Pork Sausages anymore, although I can imagine that they are going to be around in some store - I think they probably are around and at £1. However, I have been unable to find them this time.

I've concluded the fresh Poussin has gone up in price in M although there may be reduced short-date stock available. I would have liked more Ms with that in and for one of the further ones not to be still showing what I think is the old £2.50 price - I would have been more confident if I'd had £3 in three extra stores rather than just two and another £2.50 coming up(:() but I reckon it has gone up as it seems to have done.

I've lost the Ginsters 2 pack Steak Slices (and Chicken & Mushroom Slices but SP vs T is cheaper on Chicken & Mushroom and therefore the Ginsters version of those don't get onto the list) - not too much of a worry, I suppose, as they are a "buy in M". I don't have the Simply Strawberry Trifle this week and, although I now think the Goodfella's Little Fellas frozen pizzas are £1 in M, I would have liked to have been more sure. I've lost the Soreen Banana Loaf, that I felt had gone up last week but would have liked to have checked this week to make sure. You wouldn't have known I had a bit of a struggle with that product about a month and a half ago - as, for one collection, it disappeared from a number of stores for me but I did manage to find it in the end and thus continued with no problem. Well, I've now lost it altogether and don't know what it's price is:p.

I think the large Kipling Cake Slices packs at £2 will still be around somewhere but may now be very rare across M as a whole. I had one store last week with one of them but not very much stock. I've now not got them at all but I think they will be in someone's store who may still be lucky. However, M are moving out some items in this area as the Christmas:eek: stock now makes an appearance.

I already lost the duo packs of Weetabix last week and I'm still pretending that the large Heinz Tomato Ketchup (1.35Kg) is still available in M at £3. I was 'bumping into' that a couple of weeks ago - it generally was not in the main aisle run of stock but I'm not now seeing it and I'm getting more and more not knowing whether it is still around or what price if things continue this way for much longer.

I don't know if there's any Lockerbie Cheddar or French Brie at £5/Kg or whether M has the 1.5Kg Wonky Carrots anymore or whether all stores that have Wonky Carrots have now moved to 1Kg version. There was 1Kg in some stores and 1.5Kg in others before. Now, I can only find 1Kg and don't know where 1.5Kg is or even if it still exists:rotfl:.

I also think a Tommee Tippee product that was £3 last week, that I now can't find, has probably gone up to £4.50 like others appear to have done.

It is coming down though - I happened to be in an M today(:eek:) but of necessity - I need to do some actual shopping:rotfl: - I didn't have my paper with me and didn't have the details of the items I haven't got - but I happened to see one of them there, so that was another one down. Very strange - I have only seen it in two stores before (both of which I visited yesterday to no avail on that item) but the store today was where I have never had it before. So I wasn't expecting to see anything today tbh:rotfl:.
