The first highlighted one (Two Chicks) draws my attention as the product doesn't seem to be around much in M, but they (clearly) have a price collection store (or maybe more than one) with it. However, it had all of a sudden appeared in one of my chosen stores yesterday so I do actually physically have it. No use though as it's no longer on the £2 offer it came off several weeks ago:rotfl: - I did have it in another store during that time. I was wrong on the Tarczynski product earlier - should not have been any surprise that the collectors had that as it does turn out to be in quite a few stores. Nonetheless one of mine has gone no SEL now:(, so a carryover item every time:(:(:rotfl:. That is supposed to be on offer into January but I have to keep looking for it every time as I will never remember when something is or has come off offer or not, except that I will remember it now! (I will need it every time anyway just in case the offer, unlikely, gets pulled.)

They don't pick up the more stocked item of the Cucumber (that is in every store except for some very unlikely stockout somewhere). However the price comparison is 'about correct', as far as I know, as the Cucumber is 50p each in M so it would have been roughly neutral. I am assuming that the £9+ is got from the M comp. as I haven't attempted to work out the total bills of the items showing. I now think the N/A might be because the Cucumber in M does not have a BC or else there are no SELs for it in M. Namely that the "SELs" are not SELs in the strict sense of being what is required to pick the price of something up. (They don't have smaller price tickets, with a BC even though BCs contain no price information themselves, and mere "offer label"-type presentation which is generally found in M (even though this is not an offer, the colour of the label does not matter in my view (it is generally white) and the price in M has increased) does not count as it does not allow the collectors to pick up a price - if it's like this in all price collection stores, then it will be N/A - as there is nothing for them physically to scan to associate with in the database and associate to a price. I could be (probably am) totally wrong:rotfl:.)

M has the two other versions of Oust 300ml, and those other two appear each to be now £1 in M (even though msm is still showing £1.95). Fwiw, as I think Lidl is/last week was 49p on at least one of them, so around half the price. They will therefore fail the list (and indeed I've not investigated into whether those £1 price indications I saw yesterday, one for each in one store, were or were not correct).

Congratulations on the new job Arthien...great way to start the new year.

some presents have been wrapped...and some ironing completed....but I fear that tomorrow will be a similar day chore wise.

I knew they would do this. I looked at lunch time and it said 11 hours left - as if.
Ive been trying to get to Mr !!!!!! for 2 days and failing - glad I did now. I thought it better to get to Sainsbobs to get the Iams catfood for COS - prioritising

Malteser Box 80p in argos free c&c

edit: sorry, I think it's out of stock everywhere

edit2: and it's only 100g so not a great deal anyway

so off we went to Sainsbobs with the plastic/bottles/cans for recycling - seeing as there are only 2 of us we still seem to produce about 6 basket loads a week ...
Our Sainsbobs is a magnet for all sorts of fly tipping and today at the back someone had dumped in a trolley the entire contents of their childs bookcase so I transferred it all across into the Oxfam book bank - yes it makes you livid :mad:

I got the Iams catfood - our Sainsbobs is vast but it only had one tiny section for this catfood, about 6 boxes so if you don't see it in your store ask an assistant.
COS accepted the receipts within about half an hour of loading them :T so Ive drawn down on both accounts - one had £32 and the other £28, it wont hit the account until after Christmas but still a nice little boost.

Sainsbobs sale - loads of Christmassy bits and bobs reduced, all a bit overwhelming.
We had a look at the Tu clothing sale - just an ordinary sale not the extra 25% off but I found 2 jogging t-shirts reduced to £3 each - the sort with a mesh back - another present for eldest child - I was a bit worried this morning as her present pile still looks a bit lacking so a few extra bits are very useful ...

Congratulations Arthien!

Ours are in as well. Although they are quite happy as they are in the lambing shed and its quite big. Fits 100 sheep and now has 100 chickens in! Fingers crossed they can come out before lambing

It must be quite warm and turgid in that shed with 100 sheep and 100 chickens in
