I got my Sky Store credit today and have added it to my account.

The annoying thing is a film I want is currently £10.99, and the minimum price seems to be £3.99 (would love Mama Mia ) so I might have to wait for Star Trek to go down a bit more or have a new one that comes out, don't want to waste a penny lol.

Sorry to hear that l, but thank you for the warning. It is odd that APG results have changed prices later in the day, but it does go to show that it can happen - perhaps M only which is manually collected and in the past has seemed to overwrite the old data. We suspected it was different to the other supermarkets so this may confirm it (or a manual correction)?

It's not that odd at all but is what is expected with the M pricing for the product. This did seem to be a glitch on the M price on the Monday price collection and there was quite a high risk, which has now transpired, that this would change once the Wednesday collection came through. It has updated to Wednesday around the time expected - it would have been odd if the glitch had been on the A side of pricing for the product as that usually keeps all day (if it has updated around lunchtime). Much that I didn't really like an A mbuy being picked up... would have been much nicer £2.79x2 of course... but I did go for this on Wednesday night. Meanwhile the shoppers on my wombles were hopeless... one of those managed to buy Kellogg's Corn Flakes plus Rice Krispies:wall: within the offer! And with A's Rice Snaps having an RTC on one pack size...

I think the Rice Snaps are virtually identical - they are all mainly the same ingredients, no magic at all to rice, sugar, salt or barley extract and, while the Kellogg's doesn't have a list of vitamins in the ingredients, it gives them in the nutritional information (I only know from having bought a Rice Krispies 510g pack at T several months ago, that was a slightly damaged pack and just because of that had been reduced to 56p - that actually worked out slightly better than the Rice Snaps but not by much...). The ingredients are virtually the same, only slightly different percentages and when I put the A Rice Snaps into milk, I heard them going "Snap, Crackle and Pop" as well, so so much for the advertising slogan for the branded product as the own label does exactly the same!

I then had someone buy a cereal box at 95p that didn't appear on the APG:rotfl: - wonder if that was the new reduced size pack of the Rice Snaps:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Meanwhile the rest of the shop, on which they had the wrong mix of Kellogg's cereals:(, they bought several packs of Walkers crisps. I thought good, they've somehow bought an odd number... then I realised the mbuy now was 3 for £3 instead of 2 for £2:(. I was hoping for £1.65 on the comp. However, even then, the shopper's shop was totally useless - had they bought last week they would have been £1 in M but, as well as reducing the A price to £1 each by buying the mbuy:(, they now got £1.50 each for M:(:(:p:rotfl:.

For those who need a stash of toilet rolls Costco's current offers include 10 x 4 pack of Cushelle for £9.58 (inc vat) which works out at a very acceptable 24p per roll.

Forgot to say yesterday that Farmfoods have the Nicky snowman toilet rolls 2 packs for £1. So 12.5p per roll, put a few in the back of our cupboard ready for December but I've a feeling it will be August when we start using them!
Oh will think I've lost the plot.
