    Such a big gap between 500 points and 100,000 too:o

    How many £1's would you have to spend to win £2.50?

    Do they sell toilet rolls:rotfl:

    Look at the price of the Britannia Dripping in A!

    Britannia Finest Beef Dripping (250g)

    65p 26p / 100g

      60p

      70p
    M's mbuy has ended (was 2 for £1 there) - Sains. was regularly straight 50p but seems to have put the price up to more expensive than some competitors (possibly making up for being lower priced before?):(.

    In fact I ought to highlight that this was an example of where the mbuy in M did work out better than the individual price, although it's also the case that it was no better than the individual price of a competitor. There is some other brand in M now on 'offer' but more expensive than 50p. I think versions of Dripping/Vegetable Fat in Aldi/Lidl generally are cheaper.

    Avs M list is now 'reset' - so it should be good as far as it goes although there are lots and lots of new items to add. By which I mean what I believe or have concluded should be the expired items on Avs M are crossed out. Except for those that remain for eternity crossed out due to the price in M changing and/or no longer being good or otherwise are items that appeared as RTCs a long time ago and are now thought to be highly unlikely to work as they will now still be in few very Ms.

    The items crossed out as believed to have expired may not in fact be expired on the APG if price collection stores are generally showing out of date prices. Or if I have reached an incorrect conclusion from numerous stores and the APG stores generally are showing a different what is in fact true price. Or some other eventuality or possibility exists that I haven't thought of:rotfl:. My prices should be okay because, if there is a wrong price, it's been reached after several stores and calling into assistance online (which seems to be heading in the same direction as I already was, so I think I'm most probably correct. But then I would do:rotfl:!).

    But the Avs M part of the list is now, as far as it goes, updated. Now onto the even longer task!
