    I tried the toblerone too (north of the border) and scanned at £3, yet online it's listed at £3 but goes into the basket at 75p.:rotfl:

    Where an item is showing as "Not available" in A, I don't put it onto Avs M, because of doubt as to whether it will have dropped off the APG entirely (due to being unavailable on a.com) - however, where it's showing with a price in T, even if marked OOS, it then defaults to buy in M in italics as potential Tvs M as I gather it's not necessary for items to be on t.com for them to be in the TBG.

    In this case, this item is [Strike]available in M[/Strike] available for purchase from M in some of its stores. It's £1 there, supposed to run until 24th July.

    £1.50 *


    Do I think T's agency will check an M with this product in it? No:rotfl:. In which case, go and try them and complain if they don't have it as they do guarantee that you will never pay more!

    The Scholl Corn Cushion Protectors may be another item for a nice TBG fail (though I can't guarantee that they won't pick them up:rotfl:). This does not seem to be in many Ms. I did have only one store in which I had it before - many Ms have the Pressure Point Foam Padding (supposed to be T £2.25 vs M £2.21) but not many Ms, for me, have the £1.47 M product. I do now have three Ms that have it - but now out of lots that don't! However, I may find it on cheaper RTC in some M than £1.47 later so bear with me for several hours (or days:rotfl:) whilst I check.

    I would hope that, if I bought a ten branded item shop in T, I would have an entire 10 N/As against M in order to try to show how hopeless their checking 3 stores is:D. I guess I just like to challenge them and to take on the challenge of trying to show their system wrong:rotfl:. Bet I'll fail and they'll all compare knowing me:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Schwartz has reappeared on CoS 20th - 28th June - buy 3 get £2.50 - worth noting if the glitch is still working?

    Appeared on CS too so double your stash if the glitch is still on (even without the glitch, buy 6 for £6 in A and get £5 Cashback).

    Wyke Mature Cheddar£5.00/Kg:eek: New stock.

    Wyke Mature Cheddar£5.00/Kg:eek: New stock - or, maybe, older stock:rotfl: (but not the stock in between that went to £9.18/Kg and is still available in several Ms).

    I thought this was new stock as I found some of that with the expiry date of 29th June in one M whilst another M, with earlier-dated cheese, was still only with stock of £9.18/Kg:(. However, I've now found some older stock, that was and still is £5/Kg, still around. Found on Saturday - use by date (or maybe best before?) of tomorrow. So the old stock at £5/Kg had never truly gone (that is gone from every one of M's stores) whilst the £9.18/Kg stock then appeared there or in other Ms. The product has therefore been continuously available at £5/Kg in some M or another even throughout the period of about a week when stock at £9.18/Kg was being produced - that is still not gone unfortunately and, sadly, is the only stock available in some Ms.

    If the old £5/Kg version has gone from your M, it may take a little longer for the stock at that price (being now the new stock) to come back to your M. I had some £5/Kg at use by 29 June, however I also now have £9.18/Kg in one store at the same expiry date and stock at £5/Kg starting at the use by of 3 July.

    Anyway, across M, which you may not experience as you may use just one store near to you (logical:D), different stock at £5/Kg is overlapping whilst stock of £9.18/Kg is still available (and indeed has been sadly the only stock that is available) in some Ms.

    The Princessa bars (in the stores I've checked):
    Milk is actually 36g:( (although SEL said 37g:naughty:). Coconut is actually 36g (although the SEL was 33g - so actually may be [Strike]giving us[/Strike] EDIT: "supplying us*, for a cost" with more than what they say). Hazelnut is actually 37g:), which is the same as what the SELs say.

    *Inviting us to make an offer to them for them to supply us for a cost with should we later happen to use the staffed tills or, in the case of the SS machines, arguably making an offer to supply us with (as per Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking - the "machine cannot refuse" etc.). Sorry - convoluted complete accurate situation.
