    Do we know Thorntons choc mints are £1.50 in Ts

    Choc coins 37p, choc balls 25p, mallows 25p bag.

    I think I posted this yesterday? The Thorntons mints are lush, and I don't go a bundle for mints. BB date is April so I stocked up.

    Probably vs M at £2 once again.

    Bernard Matthews Wafer Thin Turkey Ham (400g)

    £2.00 50p / 100g

    However, 250g version is currently £1 in T and, all things being equal, no CB/coupons against any specific version, that would work out cheaper bought straight there (as long as you don't put on a comp. shop against a more expensive competitor than T and thus elect to pay T the higher competitor price if that comp. comes out better overall than the total T price on the comparable brands to that place, even if you pay a cheaper competitor price on other items in your shop). £1.80 (with APG) for 400g = £1.125 per 250g!:eek::rotfl:

    I say "probably" as I am still on last Wednesday's prices, therefore it depends on the product being "available" (though I'm sure it will be somewhere!), unchanged in price and in a collection store and picked up with the correct price. The reason I did not visit M yesterday was because of the limited opening hours. I am still working through last week's (to some extent out of date) information as I was out at M every other day:rotfl:. I am at the moment 70:30 as to whether I will be doing a full price collection at M tomorrow - I may give it a miss because I still have a lot to catch up with on the list. That is not just Wednesday last week ("collection day") but a large number of, mainly seasonal, items on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday and a lot of repetition within them. However, if I just catch up to Wednesday (I have updated more in a day before!) then I will be okay as the outstanding items will largely be RTC seasonal items that either will or won't be in my stores tomorrow so I don't necessarily need to take details of every single one with me:cool:.

    Alternatively I may just look for RTC items next time and post details of those (a selection from within anyway, as what strikes me as good enough to mention) whilst I can eventually make the list catch up. It's not wholly useless - there are some new items on there that are good and will be valid, though I have a lot of further ones to add though the list is on last week so may need double-checking whatever you may be buying with msm/m.com (unless you want to check in M:rotfl:). Items that I have spotted as expecting them to be off now are Dettol wipes, Surf 1.68L and the 20 pack alcoholic drinks, including Carling. I have done very well out of the Carling 20 which has been £10 in M (online said until 2nd January) as I had two okay wombles and both of them bought the Carling. One would have been about 90p - however, they added a pack of Carling, at £12 in A, and added £3 to the voucher:T. A still came out cheaper than M even with that however:mad:. I am now seeing £14 for the Carling for M online:(. Oh well - I will have to stay and do the list rather than collect wombles:rotfl:.

    Those 50p soups and pot noodles have been destroying more than one:(. I may pop out to M early doors today for a quick look (certainly can't do any proper collection) and then try to update from mid-morning (probably be afternoon:(:rotfl:) onwards. We shall see how things go. It is not a quick thing as I have to check every single item individually and then find any of those that are already there in my every-expanding list! Anyway, I am waffling on writing this so not doing any of that at the moment. About two and a half sides (but they are full ones) to do for last Wednesday, which will be adequate (but I will move beyond that and do whatever I get done). I may be adding wrong prices or incomplete items to the list but I know about them and will be changing them as soon as I get round to the newer details! Just check msm:rotfl::rotfl:.

    If I am going to M tomorrow, I need to sort out my stores! I need my A&R Household Candles store as I am expecting the offer on that to have changed or be off from yesterday, so I still need to work out which stores to visit:eek:(:rotfl:)!

    See you soon - goodbye for now:wave:.

    I do try to keep up but sometimes life gets in the way.
    I'm just a penny short of a pound. Peace and Love.
