Does anyone know anything about whisky?

It's many years since I've seen the back of the cupboard....just found these right at the back. All unopened. The Dimple has to be over 30 years old. I've been pricing them up. I might be mistaken but it looks like a couple of hundred's worth:T

He would really like to work in Singapore, he is in love.... he even talked about marriage, we also talked about politics (we decided that the UK should take 10,000 vulnerable children from the refugee camps, and also train the more capable refugee to be doctors, teachers etc..., we spoke about the dog, old age and lots more.....) I was rather late to my next meeting.... :D:D:D:D:D

End of an era?

Eta. I was talking about being signed out. Fortunately each of our accounts is offering 2 free packs signed in

Mrs Anon has two free four packs lined up next as do other members of our house :cool: although they haven't claimed any recently (so it looks like a refresh but moved the free 4 packs from the top of the list for regularly used accounts)..

Not seen ones in bold mentioned before

The second one has been 'mentioned' in that it's on the M list (where it has been for several weeks on end:rotfl:) - however the list provides no confirmation that anything compares, which you have helpfully provided:T. The Kleenex look like they are glitchy as they are showing 2 for £3 on msm? Is it Ultra Soft vs £1 W and Balsam vs £1 M? Not sure whether there are any Ultra Soft in M.

I knew about the cheese but it never makes the list at £5.71/Kg M price. So I will not have mentioned it. However, as your full, complete, authoritative search and checking that finds everything in M at any time ever, I will be putting lots of items onto the list soon that no-one has yet mentioned, including M Monkey Nuts (500g) at 50p. I think they might want 81p for some 200g pack that I suspect are in much wider circulation:(. I might take to putting my Monkey Nuts into much smaller bags and offering them back to them for way more expensive price:rotfl:. As for the 500g bags, m.com '[doesn't] have the product information requested at this time' - well, what a surprise:D:rotfl:. They have gone cheaper instore than their 2 for £1.50 offer from before which I was ignoring.

As for the rest of my search:laugh:, I have got the Young's Large Breaded Haddock Fillets (4 per pack - 480g) in one store, so I can confirm their 10p price (as of Wednesday) is their national price and not store-specific - but I think we already knew this was the case as it was not just aau1 but confirmed earlier elsewhere from hotdeals? In my store they are in a reduced section of the freezers, with no clue at all as to their 10p price and I have the store that has them with store-specific reduction stickers that are a much more expensive price but the normal BC underneath them scans at 10p. So, I have found them - uselessly in a store where I can't get them back from again:(:rotfl: - but, to be fair, I would not have known about them at all or picked them up like this without already being told about them thanks to aau1:T. I have SELs for both of the Young's loins elsewhere but the price you get from me is £1.86 RTC and there is no stock and only thanks to aau1 I now read £1.86 as 10p. :eek:That people may have bought them at £1.86 price and cleared them at that!

As usual, the stock remains in the stores that don't have SELs or have mispriced higher priced SELs (and on the occasion of the Haddock the store-specific stickers don't count and are much higher than 10p anyway) and any store with them at 10p SELs is unlikely to be found. We are back to the same situation as the Princes tins, McVities Deli Chocolates and Tracker bars of months ago as regards any attempt on the APG:eek: - and, as I posted back then, in relation to those, the results from instore price checks are erratic. They are likely to be complete no trace. This situation always happens after items go to much much better RTC prices as they are then remaining in the fewer stores than have them left - or with mispriced SELs.

Nowhere near as good (well, it can't be as it has to be from me:p:rotfl:) I have completely lost the Nescafe Gold Blend 300g refill packs for several collections now - that went to very good (for them) £4 RTC - the last time I saw them they were then only in a store that had incorrect full price SEL for them. Could this now be an item to find in a rare M in case it has gone down to even lower price?:rotfl: I doubt it. (So it must be a good sign:rotfl::question:.)

Items such as the Kipling Toffee Terror Whirls and the cake bars - Cinder Toffee etc. may seem to many people to be gone now. However, I am not removing them just yet, even though they are no good 50p:rotfl:. Although I suspect they are gone from almost every M, of course stock will still exist in a store that has mispriced SEL, or no SEL, for them. I have one of the cake bars in one of my Ms and, if you don't, you're just not looking hard enough:rotfl:. However, I can't find the rest of them, so I'm not looking hard enough:rotfl::rotfl:. I will keep them on - they will each be in some store that, for the particular exact product, happens not to have put the 50p SEL on. Or stock may exist on RTC shelves again. I think M will definitely still have all of them - each of them will be somewhere and each of them, probably, in a different store. I know for definite they had physical stock of one of them as recently as yesterday!

Meanwhile, as for my completeness...

I am currently incomplete:eek: but [Strike]this will be corrected[/Strike] I will add another one onto the list - I don't know whether that now makes it complete on these or not:rotfl:. In fact I made a mistake, of sorts, on these as I actually had Chip Shop Curry in my stores before but thought that it was Original Curry and put "Original Curry" onto the list. However, I was (and am) right that M do have Original Curry:rotfl:, that I put onto the list despite not having it in my earlier stores before, and I'll now put the Chip Shop Curry that I've always had onto the list that should have been there before and keep Original Curry that, I managed to add without having, on the list as I do have all four of them now! Phew...

I know I wasn't complete last time on the Halls 2 for 80p offer in M. I have some further versions now, having searched in each store I had on Wednesday in an attempt to find all of them that M has. It would not surprise me if M had every one of them that is on msm for the other places. I don't know why I've included this offer this time on the list, but maybe I've just finally caved in to it? I did try some of them a few years ago (when I thought 2 for 80p was good, that I no longer do:rotfl:) and got full price M for them:(- I think possibly because I mixed and matched one that was in one of their stores with another that was in a different M. Unfortunately :doh:we just don't know which is going to be in the same M for them! Of course my theory here may again be totally wrong:rotfl:. I would thought (but again I'm probably wrong) that collectors would need to put items into an mbuy physically in the store they are in - and I don't see how they could see items, or put them into mbuys with other items, that are not at their collection store (but which other colleague collectors may have in another collection store elsewhere and may or may not have the item, or only have some of the items, that the other group of collectors have in the other first collection place).

As for completeness... although aau1, very fortunately and very lucky, managed to have eight separate freezer items at 10p each - and you may have thought that was a complete set of the 10p freezer items (I had none of them) - I wonder whether that is still incomplete. I am wondering about items such as Young's Pollock Fish Fingers - several of these are Young's items so wondering whether M has some deal with Young's to want to shift them, at 10p each, real quick - that had gone down, by a few pence:(, earlier. I've not now seen that again for quite some time, but it's possible that items that are on my (mainly buy in M) list, in the freezer section, several of which have been RTC, have gone down even lower than the prices that I put them onto there with. So, in short, have a look at Buy in M Freezer items and see if you can find any of the items cheaper than what's there. And let all of us know if you do;):):cool:. I will be reorganising that section this time and putting all the items that I know to be cheapest at the top of the section and in lowest price first order. At the moment, they are all around the section, organised by product type rather than the prices to which they've gone down and gone down and gone down further to (and in at least one case, apparently, gone back up a little to:() - has anyone noticed the Birds Eye 16 Vegetable Nuggets at 33p? It's buried in the list currently, just because I've been updating the prices whenever I've found them (or become aware of them) and not yet moved them to sort them into price order, but I intend to do that soon, as soon as I can.

There are some sites that have them at stupid prices (much more than you quotes) but you should get an idea of what you could expect to get for them from here...
