Does anyone have a primula barcode for shopmium please ? Mines NSPCC branded and even though it's same product and weight it's getting rejected. Tia xx

If you upload via the shopmium website it bypasses the need for a barcode

Hello everyone :wave: I've been away visiting my great friends and just been lurking as not always able to get online. Had a lovely time. We all went to Ideal Home Show on Sunday and had a good time though goody bags were definitely not up to standard Treated my friends to meal at Ikea on Wednesday as I wanted a shelving unit anyway - came home with that unit plus 3 mini bottles of wine and 2 prepacked cakes :j £30 unit 'cost' me £1.25 :j

Love the New Forest at this time of year as saw my first baby donkey of the year - abolutely love donkeys and this one was gorgeous and fluffy, only a few days old ♥

I'm still in bed after long drive back from shrewsbury yesterday remind me not to travel on one of the busiest days of the year again.

I deliberately drove home at 11 last night, getting home at 1.45 am to avoid the holiday traffic. Unloaded most of car, got to bed for a few hours and then up at 8.30 as had to pick Berry & Noela up from boarding at 10.30 (she was opening specially for me before her family arrived)

Well done on great weight loss bubbs :T

I know I saw lots more to comment on but my mind has gone blank as I am now tired so I'm off to bed now

As you will know, keep an eye on him the next few days, as shock can be delayed. Hope everything is okay.

I doubt Sudocrem Care & Protect Cream (100g) £9:eek: in A will compare against M. It went to £2.97 RTC in M months ago and it hasn't been in many of my stores at all - in fact, I soon lost the product completely. That said, I haven't been going out to more and more each week. It is still available in M though - I found quite a lot of stock on Wednesday on an RTC shelf. £1.80 store specific at M in Whitefield, Greater Manchester (so it's being removed from Avs unlikely M as 10% off 'national' (must surely be very thinly spread national?) RTC price is more expensive). It could be knocked down like this, as national RTC items often are, to cheaper prices on store-specific basis, in some other stores but I doubt many people will have much luck elsewhere!

It would be great if APG would get £9 vs £1.80, but I think that's not going to happen (it's a store specific sticker price - lots of stickers as lots of stock) and I doubt it will even get £9 vs £2.97.

It won't now get onto the list at all as the 'buy in M' is store specific - but, at that £1.80 price, I think it is a hot deal. Oh, alright then - I'll add it on - or rather move it to 'buy in M' with £2.97 national price but a note that it is £1.80 in Whitefield (if all the stock hasn't been snatched in the last two days - there's no specific attention drawn to it in the store, beyond the stickers on the boxes, and people often miss items that are on RTC shelves as, in this case, I think many people who want this type of cream will just go straight to the baby aisle:wall: as they won't know there's stock on the RTC shelf. Hence why, less valuably, there were Hellmann's and Heinz jars untouched in one other store before - as they had been moved to the RTC shelf there (main aisles in all my stores soon had no trace at all and lucky to find them at all, and, when found, only in one store and on RTC shelf). Remember to check the RTC shelf each time you're in a store! Never know, there might be something you're buying from the normal aisle, or something similar, that is cheaper on the RTC shelf. Anyway, my point is the stock in Whitefield is most probably still there:rotfl: (if it's not been taken away again by the staff) as I think customers will generally not be going straight to the RTC shelf to see it! I think most people, wanting cream, will go straight to the baby aisle and pick up and buy some very very much more expensive cream there not realising there is some on the RTC shelf. Well, now you know.

Interesting, customer behaviour. I was in Heron Foods earlier today and just walked in, to get something else, happening to be located nearer the back of the store, but immediately I walked in I saw some Skips/Discos crisps multipacks at 75p and thought 'ooh, I might have some of them' - then I thought, no I won't, they're only placed right near the entrance as the first thing my eyes will see in order to get me to buy them. So, I realised their location in the store (right near the entrance as you just walk in, look round and see them) was the key to trying to get me to spend more than I intended and I was wise to that and resisted them and didn't buy them at all:money::rotfl:. As for the Hellmann's/Heinz, I will be moving them from Avs M to buy in M (you probably won't find them or, if you do, won't find many different ones!) as I think they now stand almost no chance on the APG - I thought that last time but now, even less chance I think so basically a buy in M but they will be rare (that is across M in general). I may have seen the odd one this week, to be honest I am no longer searching for them as it's now just any remaining stock that hasn't been sold. The Toni & Guys now - really, not around or, if around, not around in the vast majority of places so they're gone to buy in M now - which I suspect almost no-one will now find - but, after this time (and we've had cheaper store specific already) they may be available even cheaper on store specific in the one rare store, a bit like the Sudocrem now which I have found).
