    I'm sorry I'm so late, as I've been delayed by various things now.

    I wouldn't put this on M comp. shop as I have found a version in M at 82p and 10p More points:eek::rotfl::

    ASDA Chosen by You Melba Toasts (100g)

    So, if you were to buy it, buy it on any comp. except M it seems. (Unless we later discover, perhaps from doing so, that the price collectors have not got the product for M that I have.)

    I think M's version is regularly in M and that I have seen it before - it hasn't only just gone onto that price in M but me now having this information arises, probably, from me wanting to re-check some other item in this area so I've happened to take the Melba Toasts detail in case it was that other item and I've found it isn't: it's unusual for me to take 82p prices on these sorts of items as they are expensive and, as indeed A is, I'd be looking for 50p on something like this before I start to take the details in M normally.

    The Disney Princess Butterfly Cupcake Mix (181g) is strangely absent from msm:rotfl:. It's gone onto 47p RTC in M. Best of luck finding an M that has it. Has it gone onto RTC anywhere else and maybe cheaper? I am sure that more than M had it before and the other supermarkets must be getting rid of it by some method...

    Again, not that you would buy this, but don't assume it doesn't compare against M. Lemon version is showing £6 for M online, but I can confirm that I have the Original version at £6 in M too.

    Is this one a trigger? Sadly it's also one of the ones (there are lots of them) on £1 RTC in M (unless of course it's still a visible trigger, in which case that could be very good).

    It is of course available in M at £1 - I cannot imagine that every unit of stock in existence in M could have sold out of every store they have between mid-week and now, especially as others of the £1 products are showing online (some of them with seemingly incorrect prices - however I am just going to ignore that and go by what I have got from online - I am having the situation, yet again, on other items, completely nothing to do with alcohol, of finding them showing an RTC price instore but having gone up in price online - this is several items, from different parts of the store, different products altogether, one after another - I do not know whether these are store-specific or what is happening - there is no indication of store specific in the store I've found them in and the items should be available in some M at the price and it might be your M so I am just going to add them to the list. Maybe they are trying to discourage people from buying certain items, that are really on RTC instore, online by putting the price showing online up or removing them from online altogether:rotfl:. Maybe M are clearing out certain ranges that they no longer want in some stores and, only in those stores are they going onto RTC prices:think: - I do not know, I can only go by what SELs I see and what they say and I assume they can be got at those prices somewhere. I could just be making all of the items and prices up as they are at so much variance from what online is saying - however I have got every one of the items and their prices from somewhere and I will continue operating in a parallel universe again with almost complete disregard to what online is saying - it may not be updated yet or it could be some other reason. As usual, I have no idea. The Organix Baby Rice, however, that I found showing £1 in one store on Monday is not £1 - or it clearly is not £1 in every M: I've found stock of the product, with £2 SEL, in another M and it has scanned at £2 so I have removed it from the list. I also had Birds Eye Stir Your Senses Rigotoni Carbonara (350g) showing £1 RTC in one M, no stock of course, but I had the product elsewhere and it scanned at £2, so I assume that my finding of the £1 SEL was belated and that the product has already gone back up to £2:(.).

    There is a lot to be done yet - I am going to have to go however, as I will otherwise be up all night. So, I will see you later - bye for now:wave:. (I still have not got to replying to some posts from earlier, yesterday now, that I had intended to do so but may do so later or may never get round to it now - basically about how Farmfoods is significantly cheaper on some items than the supermarkets and I may have to do a collection there at some point in order to remove some items from the M list that, really, are better in Farmfoods - except for the milk of course that is probably a fraction of a penny cheaper than straight Aldi price now:( but Avs M would be slightly better - anyway, goodbye and see you soon!:))

    I will ignore online as don't worry about the Ribena NAS Winter Spice showing £1.25 online, the same as it was doing earlier in the week, as it is showing £1 SEL in stores and moreover I have had it scanned and it is £1 instore. You should instead only be concerned with them hitting the £2 SEL store:rotfl: - but I think that relates to Ribena Concentrate versions and isn't these products? Anyway...:rotfl::wave:
