    :rotfl: Really? No McVitie's Milk Chocolate Digestives in M?

    1x McVitie's Digestives Milk Chocolate (300g) £1.00 N/A

    Showing "---" for M on msm - maybe not then:think:.

    Mind you, I have been to some further Ms today - and revealed that my own price collection yesterday was woefully inadequate. No good merely using six stores, but I have still not got items that I think M has - I have lost the Coke Zero 4 pack now, but I think it will simply have moved to somewhere else in M. Some of you will be able to go to your M and find it straight there. I am having trouble finding it although I suspect that you have it. I think that, probably, this will be false for most people - however it will be true for some I think! I have the Winiary Mushroom Sauce back and M also still has the Paul Hollywood products with £1 RTC SEL - however, I don't think many people will have them in the main aisles now as the one store I have them in they have been moved to another place in the store, hence why they are still there I think. So, it's probably a nil return for M from price collection stores - but, as usual, we never know which part of what I have they have or whether they have something I do not have.

    I now have some extra items that were surely on RTC yesterday but have only turned up for me today. The headline was not the Snickers bars (M have 4 pack at £1 RTC and 6 pack at £2 RTC it now turns out - according to SELs as usual) although it may have been the 90 pack Cocktail Sausages. The headline item should have been Alberto 900g pizzas - three 300g pizzas - for £1.

    Some Del Monte three pack lollies are £1 and they would have sold me one pack if they had the elusive Pineapple in one of my nearby stores - however, typically, I found stock too far away to get them back and the Orange lollies are full price and higher mbuy than £1 straight.

    I am aware of two versions of the Alberto Pizza and both are, allegedly, £1. I have Pepperoni and Cheese & Tomato. The one I have not been able to say for definite is £1 is now the one with the £1 RTC SEL:rotfl:. No stock of that of course but another version had been left as people probably did not think it was £1 but that was checked at the till (it had to be - I haven't had them anywhere else, I did not expect to see them again and I didn't do so tonight) and it is £1. I believe that price as it is the lower price - the tills sometimes return full price but I have been given the RTC price so I think it will be correct. It will be luck if you have them, or possibly just one of them, so don't go to M expecting to have them. I think it's certainly possible someone could find a flavour (or maybe even more - perhaps a long shot but you never know?) other than the two I have and for them to be £1. I don't know if I have found all of a range or not. I had none of them yesterday or before.

    Trust it if M do have the Milk Chocolate Digestives 300g pack at £1 - the offer price of 500g packs (not currently on that offer) so, obviously, ignore 300g at £1 as that's a muggle's price - as I see other versions are showing £1 for M on msm. However, it made no difference as T would still have been better with an APG offer of 33p:( - I have no idea what range of 300g McVitie's M do or do not have as they are not even within my consideration at £1 prices and I can't complain as my own biscuits worked at the start of the week against an offer that has now expired.

    At least one of the 500ml alcohols that I had at £1 last week is still £1 today but some have gone to full price and mbuy. Earlier I wrongly thought all those that were £1 offer last week were now full price and mbuy. That's the difficulty with not finding them all again - I just can't assume that they have all gone the same way. I have also corrected the Kopparberg Pear and Mixed Fruit Ciders - the 500ml No Alcohol versions are each £1 (according to SELs) but the 500ml Alcohol ones are higher price including higher mbuy.
