Really surprised it's not showing the multibuy gocat.

Wish I could do a snip on here. Still showing the offer showing as ending and showing as 'view missed offer'

Were they the correct packets. Scan them with the app or msm

Think they must have been wrong packets. Says product not found on msm and they are 270g and not 250g But are priced as £2.29 and said 2 for £3.50 on the SEL. And they are missing off the APG too :eek:
Ah well. Win some , lose some
Whats the app? Is it an asda thing?

Morning all
Didn't wake up until 8:30 today! Luckily there isn't anywhere I need to be.

You managed to get up later than me.
I've done a price collection [Strike]today[/Strike] EDIT: yesterday, with not nearly enough stores but best I can do as I am unable to travel out. Most of the few outstanding items that I would like to have seen are online so that's given me the details. From my stores, I was reaching a conclusion on the items that were in doubt from some potentially incorrect SELs earlier (both ways, offers when they are not and full price when they are offers) and online now tells me that my stores have ended up with what seems to be the correct results. I have had the biggest price difference between SEL and actual price that I have ever seen though. My SEL on the Urostemol Men 120 Capsules said £34.97. Meaning that, as scanned, the actual price is £2 RTC:rotfl:. Three other packs (Female 120, Female 60 and Men 60) are also believed to be £2 each - I suppose you would only get the 60 pack versions if your stores were out of 120.

I think I should mention some other 'headline' items - M's White Pillowcases 2 pack showing me £1 RTC and a couple of M White Fitted Sheets - single pack saying £2 RTC and double at £2.50 RTC. Therefore, best of luck of those - I don't think I have stock.
There are some Baxter's Onion and Jalapeno jars and some Branston Chutney jars on £1 RTC and other Branston products at £1.30 RTC (I have only taken details of the £1 RTC ones as I'm considering £1.30 to be not good - I have a higher weight product (Mrs H.S. Ball's Chilli Chutney 470g) at £1.30 RTC which, as you can see, I have details of).

I have some dog training treats packs at 85p/90p prices. I think the Cat Collar may have gone from 13p RTC back to 50p RTC (it supposedly went to 25p RTC in between) but take your choice as I have SELs of £2.48 and £3 elsewhere. The fact that a SEL has gone up though may not mean anything - it could well be 13p RTC but the 13p RTC label has got lost - elsewhere I have had M's Pumice Stone go to £1 SEL and, last week, for the first time, a higher price, £1.19, in two separate stores (and £1.19 in a third store today) but it scanned at 30p RTC:rotfl:.

The Disney Moana Cupcake Kit, seen with SEL of £1 RTC last week, is now "£1.25 price crunch":( at other stores and has scanned at £1.25 at one of them. I think they are playing with me on three Heinz 4 pack soups - I had Vegetable go to £3.29 label on Monday, was told it was that, Tomato continued to show £2 label dated the same date - I had no SEL for Chicken but was told it was also £3.29. Both Chicken and Vegetable had gone to £3.29 online but I decided Tomato was probably still £2. I took both Chicken and Vegetable off the list (but I was thinking all three might be £3.29 each - on balance, I thought they could well have left just Tomato at £2). Today, I am back to £2 SELs, of sorts, when I have them, and all three of them scan at £2:rotfl:.

I had one item on Monday showing £1 price crunch but it had gone OOS in my store again. I have my doubts about it though and I left it off the list pending attempts to find if that is the right price as other products of the same brand had gone up in price (I had originally written "clearly gone up in price" but have now deleted "clearly" as I don't think anything is clear:rotfl:) - albeit the fact others of the same brand change in price can mean nowt and be no guide as to what different products are doing. You, or I, can take our pick on this - I have no stock anywhere but went from £1 in the first store again to £1.85 in the second place to £1.75 at the third:rotfl:. Online is showing £2.30 and 2 for £3:rotfl:.

Elsewhere, I have Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Dinner Original 206g showing 75p RTC. I think both of the 600g Peanuts are £2 RTC each unfortunately. At least one of them is and I now have diminished stock in my stores and I doubt they will need to go to £1 RTC now as it seems, at the same price for two packs as the mbuy was and a 'saving' of merely 50p on an odd pack, people have been buying them out:mad::(:(:p.

There are some changes around elsewhere as offers have switched between different products in ranges again - an example the single roll of Plenty kitchen roll and the two pack Regina Blitz seem to be off and it's now the 3 pack Plenty, and the 500ml alcohol offers at £1 have changed (although I now have Asali Super Dry Beer 660ml at £1 RTC). The following products appear to have ended on £1 offer and gone back up to full prices: the four Alpro chilled 1Ls that were £1, Danone Light & Free yoghurts, Mattesons Fridge Raiders 2x50g, Nature Valleys that were £1, Oral B 1-2-3 Indicator Toothbrush and Tropicana 1L - this is not necessarily a complete list - and Comfort 3Ls, Dunkers 6 packs, Marigold Gloves and individual 90g Pot Noodles also appear to have gone up.

I've still got the Scholl Express Corn Pen at £1 RTC, but it is diminishing now and disappearing from the odd store - not as good on appearances as it was last week, when I had it in half my stores, now it's about one quarter - should still pick it up, if they ever have done, from what I think is the APG's number of stores as I have got it again from what I think to be fewer stores but just to be aware it does seem to be disappearing from a few stores and not as widespread as it was last week when it first went to £1 RTC. Products do slowly disappear but linger on for potentially months somewhere (I have got a small number of RTCs that I have had for at least six months somewhere but they do seem to have gone from other places).

There are some 'good' RTCs in the medicines/health foods aisle. Typical that A has gone OOS on the Yokebe Chocolate as that is now £3 RTC in M. A have Honey version which still says £5 RTC in my M and I had no stock and online says £5 OOS but that could be £3 too. I have two Berocca 14 packs in M - each of them has £2 RTC for me. One of them (Cola Sachets) is showing £1 online and therefore I now think it is that - the other (Orange) is showing £2 OOS online but, following the Cola showing £1, has probably gone to £1 RTC. (As these are RTC prices, there should be no price picked up on TBG.)

I have Doritos Chilli Heatwave and Doritos Tangy Cheese in 6x30g in M at £1 each. It's possible M may have Doritos Cool Original 6x30g somewhere but, if so, I have not got it in my stores which, unfortunately, on this range, are not a very good set - I have got three stores that just don't have 6 pack versions at all, but at least I have done one better than online [EDIT: in fact I have not - as I now notice Chilli Heatwave is online for M - it was no trace two days ago but has now appeared. Cool Original is not there though, so maybe not]. I need another main city store that unfortunately I don't have as I only have my own city this time!

I have some frozen items: Daloon 6 Mini Samosa And 6 Bhajis (240g) at 50p, Missouri Frozen Dumplings with Meat (540g) £1 RTC, M Steak & Ale, Chicken & Ham & Leek Mini Pies (12x30g) as having gone to £1 RTC, Zapiekanka Salami Bistro Baguette 200g at 50p RTC and M's Kale (825g) I have at 92p now whether it went to that price today or whether it went to that earlier but I have only just seen it now.

It seems to me, but then I would say this, that I am doing rather well taking the prices, whether or not they are correct. Last time I had in effect already got everything that had been posted for M on hotukdeals - the only item was a reduced tub of nuts which was a store-specific sticker that I wouldn't have taken for the list anyway but might have mentioned elsewhere if I came across it. HUKD didn't add anything else that I didn't already know, but I'll see this time if, from slightly fewer stores, something is found on there that I haven't got - there are bound to be some RTC items, I feel, that I have still missed (and I haven't given all that I have got here, so if something appears on HUKD that I haven't mentioned, which it could do, I might already have it).

Once again, I shall throw my dice with my stores and any online information and see which price they land on:rotfl:.
