    JML Belvia Padded Large Biege Bra 75p RTC in M.

    As usual, I wouldn't make a special trip as you probably won't find it. Neither did I - I just had the store that put the price label up and therefore was totally OOS when I attended! It may be at 75p somewhere, I bet most likely in a store where they haven't changed the price ticket. Or maybe you'll find stock left in some random place in the store and nowhere near the price label, although I didn't go to those lengths in my search. Customers, all the time, pick stuff up - maybe when it wasn't on offer whenever that was weeks ago presumably - and put it down again in a different place - so, anything could get put in a store somewhere and could even have a temporary OOS label on the shelf as the staff may not have known that the stock is somewhere else in the store.

    Hopeless online is - I've just had some Whitworths Shots (that I've only picked up now so I'm hopeless too:rotfl: on which the offer is due until 11th September - too dear anyway, ignore them:rotfl:) - only one showing on msm for M but they have all four that are on the website.

    I've now got some Tarantella Organic Tomato Passata - offer on in M a little bit longer - until 25th September - I've actually taken the date as I bet I don't have that in my nearest stores - again nothing for M online. It seems to indicate more clearly for me that online is probably taken from a single store, but there's a lot more elsewhere. But online (except this thread thanks to me:D) doesn't help as it doesn't show the potential comparison!

    Dolmio Pasta & Sauce - Carbonara 215g and Chicken & Mushroom 215g - 59p stock of each - store specific M Doncaster.

    Oh!:eek::eek: They only have Carbonara and Cheese & Brocolli according to msm, so there's at least three stocked by M including Chicken & Mushroom:rotfl::rotfl:. I didn't see any Cheese & Broccoli on reduction there, sorry.

    I could just be making all of this up couldn't I?:rotfl: All these revelations of items that you know absolutely nothing about from m.com/msm. I have a Nuby Oral Care Teether now in M at £2 - A at £5, I doubt the collectors will pick it up:rotfl:. Bearing in mind that I missed it with my six stores on Wednesday... But then again maybe they checked 6 of my other nine stores and happened to use the one that had ir - or maybe they have found it elsewhere. But it is there in M and it's the same thing. It's all real items found in M - a lot not online and I seem to be operating in some parallel world of a completely different M to the one online:rotfl:. I bet all you wonder about items (different items to each other) that none of you have in your store and wonder where I am getting them from as most of what I add to the issue isn't in your M. It's all real though - I could not make any of it up as the list is stranger than fiction:rotfl:.

    Someone will doubtless have luck with the Oral Care Teether in M - although £2 is quite a lot(:eek::rotfl:), it does look like quite a substantive product to me and I personally was in luck with it in the sense that I happened to have it in stock (although I didn't buy it:rotfl:).

    Good morning all

  • Good morning.
    A question for SSM (I think ) apart from what days you will be available for child minding:rotfl:. I think it was you who got the M&S dine in, was it the lamb Ravi you bought using your sparks card as I have the 20% off on my sparks card. And was it nice would you recommend it?
