I know that, and they know that, but when you 'know' the reducers, most of them will do it. Same with T's. I've been doing it for ages

My AP has only let me open 9 envelopes tonight. Just in case, I am going to try again in 5 mins.

I don't bother to count anymore just continue till it says I am done for the day*. AddUp have rejected me for an account but I am pretty slow to action stuff so I will probably email them back in a week to ask why and not get round to using the post paid return label for about 3 weeks when my last activated droids expire.

2 £3 grgs and a 20 diner from 50* for me tonight so there are still some diner ones out there.

So if you can not open an account, how do you manage to get the reader to connect with the phone? Still have not worked out why the rejected you, and not others.

Anyone any bright ideas for Sains purchases at the weekend?

The Tassimos I hoped to buy are no longer 3 for £10:o

I’m hoping we get some decent cashback stuff

Well you won’t have to buy so many to spend £10 :rotfl:

Somehow, probably by doing the updating almost non-stop (with a short break for tea), I have updated the information I have from M not only to last Wednesday but also up to Monday. Therefore, the list should now be up-to-date to the latest price collection day (whether or not the data from that is yet in the APG/TBG systems) but bear in mind that Monday was not a comprehensive price collection from me so there may be the odd item out-of-date. I am currently showing items I newly got on both last Wednesday and on Monday - Monday's changes are in bold and italics (that will be reset to non-italics later). I think I have updated everything I had - although properly I ought to do a sweep of msm/m.com to see if anything my store didn't have has changed but I have not got time for that this time - and I can't see straight away whether I already have some five-pack latex gloves on the list? That's the only item I had that may not be on the list, other than the ones that were ruled off for some other reason and didn't make it. I'm not entirely sure of the brand of the gloves, so that's why I am trying to fudge that at the moment - think they might be Express The Protector and, whatever they are, they are at £1. That's for me to forget to check (as it may not be on the list) when I visit a small number of stores today - my stores not entirely adequate of course but dealing with the best I can do again. Should be a lot better than Monday. We shall see. There is a lot that has changed from last time, so a lot for me to remember and to forget and then go back and try to find - it may well be quite a time in the first store and with numerous items at full price that aren't again:rotfl:. Wonder how many I will actually find elsewhere (and how many will have to be outstanding and make a decision time due to not having enough stores). See you later - list is up-to-date (sort of!):D:wave:.

I'm still going to wait to see if the 600g M nuts ever go down to £1 RTC. They only put them onto £2 RTC last time - so no saving at all on the previous mbuy, and they were still showing that on Monday but fortunately they didn't seem to be selling so they may be forced to put them down lower if they really want to clear them and may leave some for me. (All I don't want is the muggles buying them out at expensive £2 and having no stock if/when they eventually go to a decent price.) On the ones now in A, at £1.03 for some 'small' 270g pack, expensive SP peanuts would work out cheaper:eek:. Someone was very lucky with a store-specific 400g tub in M knocked down to 75p on hotukdeals and someone else was even luckier, managing to get the same size at Tesco Express for 38p - so there may be store-specific reduced stock around.

It may be a national clearance price in M of £1.50 applied and someone else seems to have managed that. As usual, the national RTC items then have store-specific further reduced prices - although I never manage to get them do I? At a price of £1.50 for 400g, this would, unfortunately, work out better than even some glitched nuts in A. I wish the glitches were not so mean:((:rotfl:).

Thanks for finding the potential glitch - just wish the price could have been much, much better:rotfl:. I am very demanding:rotfl::rotfl:.

It will of course be big glitching with offers ending if I am at M:(. As long as the Quorns are not glitching - and they have waited so long that most of the offers have ended in M now:(. In fact, anything on mbuy in A should now only ever be bought on the last day of the offer when online is at full price. There doesn't now seem any point of buying any items, in any quantities, that have a current A mbuy on them at any other time (and which don't have a trigger or an instore only offer):rotfl:. So, if there is an A mbuy on the list, that is still current, the item needs waiting until the last day of the offer in A:cool:.

See you soon:wave:.

Got two fairly large Sainsbobs nearby, but one is excluded in the promo for fuel.

Noticed yesterday the one that's included for the promo, the price has shot up
