Hi saver sue,

I've just put in a c&C for tomorrow. There were none instore today

My understanding is that no-one knows where they have got the £1 price at Waities from and that is the "glitch". Also no-one knows if it will work tomorrow so it's always a gamble.

Make sure you check the no subs box though or they will try to give you something else.

Thanks, thought I was going daft, not being able to see them :rotfl: It's starting to make sense now, didn't understand the glitch.

Thanks TM. So emotional to watch. The London Clinic does around 19 peripheral stem cell donations a week and a few bone marrow but not many as peripherals is preferred where possible.
Please share the DKMS website with friends as more donors needed especially mixed race.
They looked after us far better than some of the other donors from different charities and dd employers were brilliant paying her for the time off work.
DD still achey and tired today but she has slept most of the day. I think having to do 2 days as didn't hit target first day took it out of her more but if she needs to do a second donation they now know she peaks on day 6 so will be easier.

DD was inspired to join the register by her grandads both having blood cancer but the time she joined they were desperately searching for a match for a little girl same age as dgd.

Well done to your DD:T:T hope she recovers soon x

The toni is showing as £7.19 on asda and is on offer in morries until 14/05

That is a very good comp. - it would have been excellent had we not had them go up to £7.19 since. So, those Toni & Guy products work and it completely changes my understanding again, now back to what it was before. I have lots of Toni & Guy products in M - they are on £2 RTC (according to the SELs I have seen) so they are not a glitch in the sense that they are picking up the M price although it is an RTC price. It's simply that Mr A has now gone to full price whilst M has gone onto clearance:rotfl:.

I thought RTC items compared, such as the Aunt Bessie's potatoes a long while back, but more recently I thought they didn't. Maybe that one item that failed recently was not seen as comparable by the price collectors or maybe they didn't have it in a collection store despite it being widespread across many of my stores at the time so I would have thought they'd pick it up. I have been thinking, yesterday, that the collectors used Leicester as one of their collection stores as I have the Poppin Chicken from there - and it is showing 40p RTC which equates to 42p on weight for A - although they is maybe a risk it may drop off because the store is OOS. If they are OOS in a collection store for longer than seven days, and that's the only place they have the product, they will go N/A for M even though M has the product in stock in some other store.

I have even managed to find Poppin Chicken, with 40p SEL and with stock in one of my Ms today so I can confirm M do have stock (even though it was on a different shelf to the SEL and the SEL was covered with an OOS label even though the product was plain to see not far away - plain for me to see, not necessarily plain for anyone else:rotfl:).

The Poppin Chicken is an RTC in M although it did compare last weekend on the APG. So, from this, I thought maybe they do compare RTCs after all or maybe sometimes they aren't sure themselves about what they are doing so just scan prices without noticing whether the label says RTC or not. However, the Toni & Guy products - there are a lot more than three at £2 in M - they are all at £2 as far as I am aware - clearly put me back to understanding that the APG does pick up M RTCs again. So, good news if they ever find any of my really good comparisons that appear as "silly" items on the list - maybe they aren't silly after all:rotfl:.

I have another separate item today - I think a pure chance find as I wasn't even originally going to go into the aisle in the store where I found it but just happened to do so and noticed it:rotfl:. Again, I spoke of maybe two further pages from all of my stores combined today; well... Just how many items does M have?:mad::rotfl:

I will now go and look for the Toni & Guy details that I have sooner than I was going to, I still had them just in case the APG picks up M's RTC items and have been putting items onto the M list under Avs M even if they've been RTC regardless (but usually marking them "I think not"). The Blind Pig ciders are RTC and I am still finding them even now and I'm getting two out of three in a reasonable set of stores. I did have Toni & Guy products at my second (and last) store on Tuesday - the details were a little bit rushed though as I was trying to get my Chocolate Ice Creams from the earlier store home. The store on Tuesday suddenly dropped them all onto me as they were absent from the previous place. I have seen them again since so hopefully corrected my rushed details a bit and, with any luck, I've now got accurate details of them, pieced together from two further stores (I think they all have the same full range but I have to make sure I have them from somewhere). It looks like it's the start of the Toni & Guy RTC so it appears to be good at the moment, as they are all in enough Ms to pick up them up from a reasonable set of stores, before they clear out of stores and leave random haphazard ones around in fewer stores (probably meaning the APG loses them if they are not in a collection store).

Can any one else help on this, not on MSM or Waitrose own site. Were they previously on there ?
Maybe I should just cancel C&C for tomorrow

I've never seen it on MSM for waities, but it's been showing on Waitrose own site like this for a few days at least.
