    Yip Elderberries. I made some elderberry wine years ago, made sure almost all the sugar was converted to alcohol and then left it for 7 years. The recipe I followed suggested it got better the longer you left it. Well this was potent stuff when it was drank, Mother had to go and "lie down" after a glass and half :D:D:D:rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Shoppymum have each variety of Pick Up Biscuits on a "Try for 50p" offer

    They are £1.62, 2 for £2 in Morries but Shoppymum doesn't recognise the multis. You (should) get £2.24 back per 2 packs ie 24p profit :money:

    Thank you - could also possibly get TvM (AvM wouldn't work as only £1 in A). Both would rely on them to pick up the M prices on BG or APG (see what I did there ... that pun took the biscuit :D).

    Sorry (I'm not really, as it's not my fault) about the delay with the M list - I've removed, some time ago, what I believe to be the expired items so it should be as good as far as it goes. I've just been sorting some things out here at home (and I'm continuing to do so in fact) - at least you know I have a life beyond Morrisons:D:cool:. Shall I remove the Aero Mousse 8 packs? They are absolutely available somewhere tonight from M and will be going at whoopsie prices as I think the use by date on the stock will be up today. I don't think they are bringing in some more at present, although I have spotted two 'waves' of stock, the second of which extended the use by to tonight in some stores. Don't make a special trip to your M though as every M is more likely to have cleared out of them last week, it's only some that have not, and unfortunately you'd have to be consuming at least the most part of all eight pots tonight in order to make it worthwhile.

    Whatever you do, don't go buying the 4 pack Aero Mousse at £1.52:eek:! I think they may be around that price as I've had to get the price [Strike]from msm[/Strike] from my memory as msm/m.com do not even come to the rescue - whatever price they are was too expensive to take any details! Am I right about that price - am I spot on? I may not be, but it would not surprise me/you too much if I was!

    I think the Frijj 4 pack milkshakes (I don't know what happened to the 2 pack ones at £1 a few weeks ago:rotfl: - but I don't see those available in T!) may be, or soon be, in a similar situation to the 8 pack Aero Mousses. You may have Frijj 4 pack milkshake on whoopsie in your M tonight, or maybe tomorrow - some tonight, some tomorrow perhaps - though that's unlikely too - probably about as likely as having the Aero Mousses will be. I have one hit on Aero Mousses and one hit on Frijj Milkshakes out of 12 stores, and they are in different stores for me so even less likely perhaps that you'll hit both of them in one store!

    I think I'll delete the Strawberry soon, next day or so, which is only there as a placeholder really for the other flavour that is available in T for potential Tvs M. I'll leave that Chocolate one on in the unlikely event that one (and, if it is any at all, I think it will be only one) of the three TBG stores happens to have had the Frijj with SEL on collection day, which I think is today. I think it's quite unlikely and it's most probably going to be N/A but I'll leave this one on the list in case there is the possibility that you can get it, with longer use by, from T at £2 under a Tvs M shop (not Northern Ireland in any event) from maybe already if they had it on Monday or tomorrow if they had it today (or maybe even today from today - they may be able to update quickly) until someone on the weekend shift at T comes into the office on Saturday and updates the M price to N/A when they realise that M really doesn't have it anymore:(. Maybe M will suddenly magically restock all over the place today (but not with whoopsied stock) or sometime over the weekend:rotfl:! Hopefully not at price increase:mad::rotfl:. So, Chocolate on the list in case there's a possibility that TBG could compare (and if it did it would be standard 50p each price = £2!), but I think that possibility probably won't materialise.
