oops sorry TM I wouldn't want anyone to feel guilty :rotfl:
Have you been running lately TM or have you been too busy & the weather too hot?

Just started up again tonight Nellie......I didn't have time the past fortnight I've been off work:rotfl:

Just noticed that sloppy have the 430ml Hellmans Mayo 40p back and nice to use with the 50p off Greenredeem coupon.
£1.50 in A

:hello:
I came back earlier from M, probably in hindsight a little too early now, saw that the Crunchy Nut 500g were glitchy and went out for them. It was good information to know:T but, as you know by now, they've gone onto this better, but still no good, mbuy and the individual price has got better and therefore worse:(. I did check to see that one pack was £2 at the till and decided not to bother with them as it's put the price up outside of my league. However, I still did a shop - one of those shops I should not have done - of items I needed anyway - I got caught by it being there at rush hour, having to go back again later if I didn't get anything etc., but it was one of those shops that you know you shouldn't have bothered doing - and it's come back with "not enough items" now:(. I didn't bother with Weetabix Golden Syrup in any event. I think I may have got caught out on a different BC on the SP apples pack - thought I'd pick up an old 5 pack rather than some newer stock at hopeless 4 apples but it's all not worked anyway so I've lost somewhat over £1. However, I did need those items and it would just have been worse trying to get them on another day as then taking out time out of another day.

I did do a price collection, of sorts, earlier today (so long ago now:rotfl:). I therefore now know, in theory, what the prices in M have been today. I think this was supposed to be more of a 'price survey' on this occasion, just for a general overall impression of what may have changed and not, if I can ever do any such thing, rather than the detail of every item. I'm going to be useless anyway again as I'm not mentioning what's changed, and there have been changes, as I'm not even anywhere near up-to-date on the list with Monday yet. Really I just wanted to know whether the Pork Shoulder was still £2/Kg today in M:rotfl:. And, at least, that item is still that price. At the rate I'm going, it's going to take me until Monday to update with Monday's information. (I figured that, whether I caught 'everything' or not - due to not having Monday's results with me to go through line by line to ensure I accounted for all I needed - I would still get some information of use to update even if I may have forgotten about the odd item here or there today. And a couple of items have now been clarified for me instore today, whilst another couple are now in a unsatisfactory state instead:rotfl:.)

Dr Oetker Ocean Pearls Sprinkles (50g) was £1.28 now 38p @ Morrisons
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/dr-oetker-ocean-pearls-sprinkles-50g-was-1-28-now-38p-morrisons-2485510

My store with this item is now showing the 38p price. So, I would have noticed this item today - it was pretty obvious so I do think I would have had it today even if I hadn't known of it already thanks to bubbs. Having failed to identify it at all on Monday, I can now go one better as I have Dr. Oetker Rose Crystals (55g) now also at 38p. That's 'better', of course, as it is 5g more:D. So, I've beaten you - however it is not a "game" in which there is to be any 'winner' or any beating of anyone at all:cool:.

I will eventually catch up on the list. I've already caught up in my mind and, there, I am fully up-to-date - but just not on here on the list yet. I'll keep going, on and off, with it (and of course I've been delayed doing it again today as I was out instead) and it will eventually get changed to today's information. For now, the list will just keep getting closer and closer to what I believe to be the real prices for M.

Weetabix Golden Syrup (24x21.75g)£2.68x2 Any 2 for £3.00 Actually works out at somewhat less than 600g:huh:.

I did have this on the list for these purposes (hoping that it would glitch as it's no real use at straight 2 for £2.70!):j. However, the item will need to be removed, probably almost as soon as it went onto there - as soon as the A mbuy appears, it will never be as good again.

(I did also notice that the Banana and the Chocolate versions appear to have gone from A? I did have some 600g replacements of those instead - I don't know whether they were of any use. Fwiw, M also has the 24 pack Banana and 24 pack Chocolate on 2 for £3.)

Sharwood's Sweet & Sour Stir Fry Melts (2 per pack - 96g)£1.59 £1.00:eek:

This is going to be removed from the list - pow!, it's gone - although it is still around at £1 'RTC' price in all my Ms. Obviously not good enough price so even the normal shoppers haven't been interested in it:rotfl:. Reason: it's now 40p RTC in A.

:(I now notice online is showing 85p - I think no-one's got 'old style' C&C anyway so wouldn't have worked on there and even if it now appeared at 85p rather than 40p, it would come out more than 10% cheaper:(. So, just buy in A, if you can find it, at 40p. I think there's another similar item in the range also available at 40p in at least one A. The Sweet & Sour is certainly no good in M:rotfl:.

I think the jars of beetroot have already gone up in price in M/ceased to be on their price crunch price a while back (they never actually go up in price from a supermarket's perspective - they just return to their previous price after a 'crunch' on them ends) - so they will be removed as well.

Get your whisk out woman:D:rotfl:

Is that a euphemism?

I've given up trying to sleep. I was sort of drifting off, when my neighbours kids starting screaming and playing about. Felt like shouting 'f off, not all of us are on summer holiday' :rotfl:

In regards to where in Cheshire, I have no idea. My boss likes to leave things late. All I have is a reference number and a train time. I don't even know what station I'm going to :eek:
