I think, if anyone wants anything from M (although the unintended consequence of this post is that I am acting as an advertisement for M again now:(), you'd just better go to M and have a look at what's there, rather than waiting for me and the M list (for me to update it) as, if you wait for me, everything will very likely be gone by the time you then get there. For example, anyone that wants any Christmas decorations. M have put prices down on a range of these items (when the cows are home at the end of it and when I've updated this list you can then look and marvel about how I've missed one of the items that you've found in your store:rotfl:). Some of the items have gone down as low as 38p. I'm not sure whether 38p is "low" enough for us though:think:. There is - was yesterday - some 2m Tinsel in possibly a third of stores (that's the percentage I ended up with anyway) at 38p. However, in the stores it was in, it was becoming thin on the ground and will probably be gone by now. It certainly will I think - in the vast majority of stores (and only' found in two out of my six stores yesterday) - if you wait for after tonight etc. and more shoppers. I can imagine it may stay then only in a rare store that happened not to put the 38p pricing in it and left it as the original full price displayed. I'm sure that store - hypothetical store - will get round to putting the true price up sooner or later though, and then it will be all but completely gone. (You never know - they may have some in the back store, if such a thing still exists in stores, and bring more out later - or could find some, that got lost in there, put underneath a whole of several crates of lager or whatever:rotfl: in April and bring it out to the RTC shelf then:rotfl:.)

But - main point is 'don't wait for the list!'. This time. Since we have only a few days to go to Christmas Day:j and not many shopping days for my update (once I even start it:o) to be valid though I will try and get it all on before Sunday afternoon this time:rotfl:. I'm aiming for today - but, we shall see. Best just see what your M has therefore, if you are interested. Ignore this - as I am just acting as an advert:o:p:rotfl:. There was more change yesterday than there was on Monday but, having said that, still not much change. I suspect I might start buying for Christmas on 26th December - some items pretty useless though by then - certainly as regards trying to use them next year - the 3ft Christmas Tree (one out of six stores for me) had gone down to £5 yesterday. It has already disappeared from the store I had it in (at higher cost I think?) last week and wasn't in any of the stores at all I had on Monday. I think 26th December is not going to be a much change day - most of the offers are due to end on 27th December but will be more of a 'see if items have changed on SELs to showing the full prices' that potentially may affect the APG, if they even are doing any collection on 26th, and the reduction of the Christmas items. I shall start putting lots of Christmas items onto the list once the whole thing is safely over!:rotfl: Now is not the right time on some of them and I've been ignoring prices on a large number of items in the festive aisle before as they will all inevitably? - can we say it's "inevitable":think:) be cheaper after Christmas. The big change I think, for me, will be 28th December. I'm expecting a whole load of items to end on their offers and - with strange Christmas-New Year period going on - will have to think about how I do the collection, though Monday I am hoping my three stores will act as a springboard to that.

I am only just able to catch up but thanks for the advice 'don't wait for the lists'
Thank you for all your efforts and work through out the year for making the lists and updates even possible:beer:
