Good evening everyone

My Mr T today had the green and blacks chocs on reduced today at 2.75 instead of 5.50

I would like to say a huge big thank you to all the elite :j

I have quite a few 50ths birthdays this year so I am making them all boxes
The Range have some nice boxes
The top box is the emergency box wine, chocs, iou babysitting if they have children or a good book/dvd or if they smoke a lighter and a packet of cigs. I know but it is an emergency box
The second box is a beauty box
The third is a electrical box or cooking box
I delivered my first box tonight and it went down a storm

I would not be able to do this if it was not for the way we shop, all the womblers, finders, testers and people who post their results, I for one truly appreciate all the hard work :T

Quicker than me! I had a tooth out in December and only starting next stage in a couple of weeks.

Teeth either side are too weak to support a bridge unfortunately.

2017- the year of the dentist/

Oh dear. Are you paying privately silvercar, in which case probably better denture than I will get on NHS. I qualify for free dental work as only on pension. Mine will probably be some mass produced contraption :eek:

:hello: I've got the prices from M again and... not much has changed from last time. So my list is already up-to-date on quite a lot. Of course, the McVitie's 3 pack biscuits have gone from £1 to £1.50 and the Surf 90 wash has gone from £7 to £14. It's vanished from many stores for me but I did have one with it so I am able to say it has gone up:(. These little beggars

Glaceau Vitamin Power-C Water (500ml)£1.75/Any 2 for £2.00 £1.00 LOOKS LIKE URGENT - OFFER UNTIL 7TH MARCH IN M.

have gone from £1 to 2 for £2. So, they are still 'on', but requiring more to be bought, and not much use as I was, somehow, envisaging an invisible trigger, leaving one to compare but mbuy vs mbuy is not very useful. (I missed Revive Fruit Punch from my stores last time but now have it to add on at 2 for £2:rotfl:.)

Flash 400ml gels have gone from £1 to £2 but remain continually at 97p at M in Rochdale. There are now some 'new' 855ml versions on £2.

I've lost, for now, a number of the health & beauty clearance items (Dove, L'Oreal) that I had last time. I've also lost the Toni & Guy products that would have compared very nicely on the APG a few weeks ago. However, I did see a store with a whole row of them not long ago so I do not believe that they have completely gone from M. I think it's extremely likely that they will have vanished from the store(s) that the APG had them in, leaving them having to have them in another price collection store. They might have them in another of their stores; however, I had my chances, possibly using a similar number of stores to the APG, and I have not found them. I think it's going to be chance as to whether they will still work. We need Sal to find another womble with them on:rotfl:. And then to moan when they miss out on £7 or £8, or higher, vs £2. I might visit a few further stores and this may change my view on them later. I can now see that just one of them is showing (in stock) for M on msm - just a random one and I have no idea where that comes from: but clearly the full range is still around in one or another store but fewer stores than before so their best chance - and some of them at least did indeed work before - has now passed I think. It seems less likely that they will have them in a collection store.

I don't know why this has been incorrectly marked as 'expired' on hotukdeals:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/480-typhoo-tea-bags-instore-morrisons-for-5-2623906. At least I can confirm it is incorrect as of yesterday now (Wednesday) as the product and price were still on in M. Perhaps it is because they are not online and some people cannot find them in their M anymore, so they assume they are no longer available. Perhaps they have gone from the OP's store now (probably likely), like they have gone from the store I first saw them in but, as of yesterday, they were still available in M at £5. I had them on 22nd February. I didn't find them last Friday, but that was only three stores so I believed they would still be somewhere and did I remove them from my list?:rotfl: No, I didn't - and, indeed, I have found them again yesterday.

I have not found, or yet found, the Bird's Eye Haddock Fish Fingers at 63p RTC - in fact I have never seen them yet as I've taken those from hotukdeals. However, I do have some Bird's Eye Omega Fish Fingers 336g at 42p RTC (if I am remembering the prices correctly).

I also took the Carte Noire from hotukdeals, that I have on my list at £1.65. I am going to remove this however, as I have scanned this product and it is at well full price. Perhaps I have misunderstood which product was being referred to, but I've scanned the one I thought was being mentioned and it's full price. Without any further specific information to identify precisely which product - and you know I need precise details! - is supposed to be £1.65, I have no evidence of any £1.65 Carte Noire in M as of yesterday (it could have been RTC before but now gone straight back up) and I will be removing it.

You may remember I found the individual fresh Holland's pies in M last Friday. This was a small number of stores, an unusual store to find one of them in, and it saved me a 32-mile round trip. They are I think still 50p as I have full ranges in usual stores yesterday. I was left with another completely separate (do not get confused!;)) range of products yesterday that I thought I was not going to have. However, I did manage to have them - at the last store! - obviously I have picked my stores very well:rotfl: - I didn't expect to have them there but I did, and that's saved me a 70-mile round trip (as the only other nearest store I know that has them is approx. 35 miles away). So hurray for that - I have no need to bother with that later. And I shall, I hope, be absolutely fine next time (two weeks' time) as I am already due to start from that store. Unless they suddenly completely vanish of the products:rotfl::(:rotfl:. In fact, I have managed to find a lot of things that I had on my 'to find' list and surprising how much I have managed to find.

So, whenever I get to it, it looks like it will be a much shorter updating time - somehow I ended up with 17 pages last time (maybe due to the three-week gap between visits?) but, this time, I am down to a more usual number (I think I probably have about 6 sides of paper, and some of that is duplicated carry-overs, one store to the next, then the list diminishing but copied out again to check at the next place). I have also not ended up with quite a few items still outstanding after the Wednesday, like I had just over a month ago, but, instead, found nearly everything I had down (of course the lost-lost items are still lost so aren't counted). I didn't find the 4 pack Coke Zero this time though, although they probably are still somewhere at £1 - am I right as someone will have those in your M, even now, won't you? I think so! (I might have them later, as I am planning a couple more stores, including the last known place that I had for those - see if they are still there (will that massive pile of stock be completely gone?) - I was already due to visit there anyway - and maybe a further store on another visit later. Because, of course, there will be further items around that I have not found.)

I am still finding the Blind Pig lagers, even now, although this time I have found just one out of the three I know about rather than the usual two out of three (from six stores). I found the same one twice yesterday. Perhaps this suggests - I don't know, since I did have two hits (a third of my stores) but they happened to be the same one - that they aren't around in as many stores as before (and therefore now stand less chance of being in a collection store). I have no doubt in my mind however that M almost certainly has all three - if I've found one from using stores, the other two are bound to be somewhere among over 500 stores.

I think the £1 500ml ales etc. from last time are now full price and mbuy. Even though I've lost most of them:rotfl:. I have seen one of them though and I have the SELs, in separate stores, at full price and mbuy - and I do trust that since, in one store, I started off with just full price and then, later, during my visit, it had been changed (by a member of staff no doubt) to show full price and mbuy.

I have Magners 20 pack cider (20x440ml) at £10. I note msm £12 - that is not updated as m.com does now say £10. I'm concluding that Kopparberg Cider bottles are full price and mbuy though. I had one store giving me £1 (perhaps we have just missed an offer?) but I don't trust that as multiple stores elsewhere are showing me £2 and mbuy price.

The Iams pouches cat foods are back on (they were scanned after I didn't trust two stores:rotfl: - the only two stores I had with those as well!:D The reason is that I had one store telling me 3 for £1 a time before and scanned them and they were not - they had gone to full price. So, they are back onto the mbuy price once again). I think the Harrington's pouches have gone up - 35p to 55p - and there are now some Hilife dog foods on 75p and 65p prices if I have to believe seemingly new SELs in more than one store. I will update the details later. Oh, and I have lost the Winiary Mushroom Sauce for now, that was on 25p RTC, so cannot confirm whether it is still that price. It probably is. The E. Wedel RTC products have I think ended though (I have scanned two and they are full price, another one I have full price SELs for it in two stores although have not scanned it so that's why it's an "I think"). That's it for now - see you later:wave::).
