Just for the record, this is the list of the RTC ales/beers in M from several weeks ago. I am going to be deleting them from the list, so I have left them here in case that later turns out to have been wrong. I think that they will all be off now, apart from the Adnams Southwold which was an RTC from before. I think that Adnams Southwold will probably still be on RTC and will be still be around having been moved to some RTC shelf in M.

Added to this list was the Badger Leaping Legend (500ml). Most of the Badgers are comparable from A - however I have deleted them after finding one of them (Tangle Foot) had gone off RTC and back to full price (and presumably worse-than-£1-each mbuy) yesterday. I think that it has only just gone back up on that date. I was told one was £1.65 at the till - I still did not trust that so scanned it at the SS and it was £1.65.

I think all of the above list, except for Adnams Southwold, will now be full price and presumably on the worse-than-£1 mbuy "deal". I had almost none of them in my stores yesterday. Other than the Badger Tangle Foot, which I found in one store and it scanned at full price, I found Oakham Ales Citra in another store and it had full price SEL and seemed to be covered by the mbuy material around it. I now had no trace of all the rest. I just get the impression that, apart from Adnams Southwold, all of them are off now, although that may be wrong.

I think they may be off since there has been some change in the 500ml bottle prices, for example Shepherd Neame Spitfire (500ml) is now £1. The M signature ales have also now gone to 78p having suddenly reappeared.

EDIT: I notice Oakham Ales Citra now has full price and mbuy online - I'm doing well, aren't I, working things out from my stores?:rotfl: I notice a random one - Double Dragon Ale - is now showing £1.65 online although not on mbuy apparently. It looks like I am right in any event that they are all off.

EDIT 2: No, Adnams Southwold is off too, according to online - so it seems they are all off! I am going to remove them all.

Good afternoon.

Another lovely day here, barely a breeze but chilly.

Went town on bus with pass, exchanged MS problem-free, free copy Grazia to read on bus going, ditto Metro on return, chose 5 special family Xmas cards in card shop, Minstrels in £world - till spit for £2 off £12 for next week in £world plus nice free box for outgoing fleabay items, walked almost 2hrs, total spend £6.

T's for bread n milk, T finest sourdough bread 21p rtc, got 3, so including the choc that's 5.51 to add.

Now over budget.

Keeping total running and adding another £60 to budget figure on 1st Nov, to see what happens over 2 months.

M Signature 72% Dark Chocolate Italian Orange Peel (100g)34p
M Signature Dark Chocolate Raspberry & Cranberry (100g)34p
M Signature 32% Cocoa Creamy Cappuccino Milk Chocolate (100g)34p Assumed to exist through new product at full price in other Ms.
M Signature 41% Cocoa Milk White Chocolate (100g)34p Assumed to exist through other product.
M Signature 52% Cocoa Rum & Raisin Dark Chocolate (100g)34g I imagine this may exist due to "M The Best" version at full price:(.
M Signature 32% Sea Salt & Mixed Nut Chocolate (100g)34p Imagined may exist due to new version at full price.
M Signature 52% Cocoa Dark Mint Chocolate (100g)34p Possibly exists somewhere. Likely to be a very rare store now though, if so, as many M Signature products appear now to have become more rare in general.
M Signature 70% Fairtrade Cocoa Dark Chocolate (100g)34p [Strike]Another imagined product.[/Strike] I can now confirm this exists in reality, having seen the actual product.
M Signature 72% Cocoa Dark Chocolate (100g)34p [Strike]And another[/Strike] This does indeed exist.

:rotfl: I'm even managing to invent products before, that it now turns out do actually exist. I would if my other imagined ones are actually somewhere? They probably are, if they have indeed changed the whole range to the new versions that no-one here should want.

I do wonder if the above is the full set of old items at the cheaper prices though. I currently have six that I know exist (or have done and assumed still to exist in some M somewhere) and five additional ones that probably exist. I wonder whether someone has got some that I am missing.

2xSweet Zone Monster Mallows (170g:()Any 2 for £1.50

Found another one:doh:. It wasn't in the store that I was relying on for the Sweet Zone products before. Indeed, my original store, which was in stock of most of them when first found, had largely gone OOS of them last time I was there. So they may well have run the risk of many of them vanishing completely on me in my original store but not to worry there as I had managed to get them already so would have left them on - except for the one that I didn't get from there:rotfl:. I had already done better than msm (from m.com) though - it only has three of them.

Good morning all....



Went to the cinema last night the film disturbed me quite a bit...I perhaps should have read up about it before I clicked the button ....but we live and learn....
I spent most of the time people watching...to my left there was a lady who found the film very emotional and cried into her hanky the whole way through and to the front of me the "cider ladies"...we first encountered them a few years ago at a sunday morning showing...aptly named because all three sit with a can of strongbow.....its funny how you get to see the same faces...presumably because we all love a freebie....and the other side of OH was a lady who bought her own snacks with her....a tupperware full of rice krispies which lasted through the whole film eating one at a time!

I saw the same film and have pondered it alot, it was very sad and must be quite a distressing film for anyone who has suffered the loss of a child in any way. It was well made but one of those films you'd never watch again imo.

This morning cos we're offering FREE Straight Up 900g yog, it then changed to half price (£1.50). I took a screen shot when it was showing free so if anyone wants to argue their case, here's my pic

Fwiw, these are £1.25 RTC in M but have been £1 in A before (so not getting to the list!).

Taj Tropica Cassava Yuca (1Kg)

I assume this is what "Taj Cassava/Yuca Chips 1Kg" is referring to although I did not have any stock in my store at the time of my visit.

I went for a long walk this morning...to think something over and I have come to the conclusion that life can be very cruel.

I'm sorry to be cryptic but it is my thought of the day....

Mine is still showing valid for 6 days, up to 2 products but email said you could try one of each of 11 varieties- confusing

I am sitting in here waiting for someone to come to quote on the garage door. OH arranged it and said after 2, didn't occur to him that I might need to go and get some milk :mad: The worst thing is it is almost certainly not worth him coming because it is for a roller door and it won't fit our garage, there is not enough headroom. On top of that I could not even open the door when I got back from my bike ride, so the bike is sitting in the kitchen.

OH keeps saying there is no rush, he's not the one that uses it most of the time, he is not the one that has to struggle. If it had been up to me it would have been done months ago.

On a better note, 2 months till Christmas
