It's all done anyway, on the list, so tomorrow I have really a free day. That's my best attempt - there were some Hallowe'en items I did not have in the stores I used but I've updated what I've got (and added further that I got). Sadly the small pouch M&Ms Hallowe'en version and Skittles Spooky Colours should surely have been lower than regular £1 on Wednesday but they were not:(. I suspect there are more Batchelor's Deli Boxes in M and I'll have a look for more on Monday - but I have just got the one that I have got. I think M probably have got the Roasted Vegetable version but I have no proof of this - I didn't have it in the stores I visited and I can only go by what I've got. I just have the impression that there is at least a further one in M (in another store) from what I have got as there was an OOS sign and a bit of empty space on the rest of the shelf in the one store:eek: I found it in, but the only SEL I had (anywhere, and just that one store) was for the Spicy Chicken. I could well be wrong - they could just have Spicy Chicken but I bet someone else has Roasted Vegetable in their M - am I right? Doing a very good job of reading between the lines again:rotfl:.

I often have items that are just in one store, so that's not necessarily a concern: usually a set of six stores picks most things up - and they can vary - visiting a different set and I could find that item in three of them and something else now in only one, but most things are picked up (besides the RTCs that slowly disappear from more and more and become harder for me to find - actually they usually still continue in at least one store (swapping all of most of my six each time) until I lose them altogether and then later find them out at some random place and nowhere else - and then maybe find them elsewhere and then lose them - depends where I going - anyway, I'm droning on:rotfl:). They do have stores that are supposed to be "representative", so do seem to have a store that picks up several of the world foods items for them (that aren't available in other stores). So I think this is one thing they have thought of - and they do, it seems to me, attempt to use stores that might get most things, but inevitably something randomly won't be found. Bearing in mind a couple of the items I've added only now, whose offers have most probably been ongoing for several weeks, but which I have not had in over 20 different places visited over the last several weeks - and then one of them, a Halal snack, I did find twice this time but one store didn't show the mbuy:rotfl:. So, if that's one of the few stores it's in and they happen to pick that store... I would have been coming back with incorrect info. had I not happened on the other store (which would have been the case had I gone to any of the stores I've been to before and not ventured out).

The M offer on the Almette Soft Herbs with Cheese is off (has been off for several weeks) but that product does not seem to be in as many stores as some others, and it was showing the offer price on an OOD SEL on Wednesday in M Letchworth, a suspected price collection store - so, if they only have it in one other M (in other words two out of their six? - doubtless another theory to be shot down again) and even if showing correct price in their other store, it may be £1 price returned on a tied result of one (Letchworth) at £1 and one at £1.17 (their other only M with it) and take the lowest price they see. Doubtless this will fail:rotfl:. Correct price in M is believed to be £1.17. However, there is a possibility that this sort of thing might happen. (On my six stores, one of which was Letchworth, I would be coming back with incorrect price of £1 because I had the product in no other store of my set this time - except that I 'know' the product is no longer on offer (do I ever really know anything?:think:) and can see the SEL is well OOD so I don't actually come back with that (believed to be) incorrect price but the price collectors in this sort of situation might.) It would have to be the Herbs version as, although M has the other one, it is not in Letchworth. In fact there is quite a lot missing from there:rotfl::rotfl:.

I am not putting the item onto the list as I am not putting an incorrect price on there, as it would be expected to be very unlikely that this would work: however, it might be very likely that this would work, or even almost certain, if they have it in Letchworth and nowhere else (or only one place else). It would be interesting to see if this theory turned out to work: so, Sal, find a womble with it on please:rotfl:. The offer's last date in M was 9th October.

Bet they use Preston and Leicester though and have correct M prices from both of those:rotfl:, which would then be so even if they also used Letchworth and had the one incorrect price from there (as overruled by correct full price in more of their stores). I am surmising - as I didn't visit Preston this time (obviously not able to) and didn't visit Leicester this day either but I suspect both of those will have correct price showing.

Is everyone getting the platinum everyday cash back card for the £5 of shops please

Depending on how much spend you could generate in the first few months will influence which one to go for as there are some good joining bonuses on N3ctar and Gold, possibly others too.

Seems to be getting louder as the night goes on. Trying to keep them cuddled in. Bloody neighbour has started them now. :mad::mad:

Then it'll all start again around midnight when all the drunk people get home and set off fireworks in their garden...

That's the trouble with it being on a weekend!! 2 doors down have already had a rocket go off in the garden!! Both dogs are now running around the house trying to bury their bones and toys in the furniture.

I absolutly love fireworks, but the damage it does to pets, I can't stand. I think they should only be allowed in proper displays.

how ruddy thoughtless
