Not sure about the "chocolate porter" so you can have one of those

The "electric boogaloo" is yummy, so not sharing that :rotfl:

Oooh...I’ll have a chocolate porter:T:T

Has it got Baileys in it?

Should I prepare a cheeseboard:D

Did the 1.5Kg Maris Piper Potatoes 50p M get lost in amongst all the information in my last post?

On the Tommee Tippee blender, the product was marked OOS online and M were (Google cache) "currently sourcing detailed information for this product" in the early hours two days ago (nearly three days go) but, by today, they seemed to have given up as the page now appears with "Sorry we don't have the details of the product you requested at this time." Is that a sure-fire sign of an RTC? I don't know. Sometimes, or maybe quite often, RTCs can appear like that. However I think it doesn't tell us for sure and the earlier OOS marking in my view meant nothing. I do not at all take notice of statements of OOS online as products are often found instore. I can't say that all stock of the product has completely gone from M - that not a single store in the country has a single unit left. I am not convinced that it has completely gone (I never am these days:rotfl:) - someone, I am convinced, who is the rare person who has stock in their store will immediately know from reading this that I am right to be unconvinced - in that case, I am not convinced that you have not got what you clearly have:rotfl:. I am not going to say M do not have this product anymore - surely there must be a unit of stock somewhere? I don't think every unit has gone and has been bought and some will exist somewhere and will have a price and will scan at some price. The online situation does not tell us that it is RTC but it is a possibility.

Of course, A, which currently has the product online at £20, guarantees to be 10% cheaper than places including M so, if M has it anywhere at all, the price collectors had better find it hadn't it?:rotfl: I didn't think they would find it when I had it a while ago at £12:eek: "RTC", an increase from the price of £10 which I later generally found it at but then lost it. That was because, when at £12 RTC, I had found it in just one store and had visited many more than the current round. I never saw the product again after then - until it turned up at £10 SEL in a number of stores and I noticed it had gone down from what "RTC" price it was previously at. There was now no indication that it was RTC anymore but just regular price. Then again, having it at just a price on the SEL, no RTC or offer indication, plain white label, doesn't mean it's not RTC - it could be something that was absent for a while from that store and has only recently come into it, ages after an RTC elsewhere in stores that had it, or maybe that store too from time to time off and on, and has reappeared back with just plain SEL now, like M's pack of Staples that were 50p RTC a while back but are now in at least three stores (probably many more) with plain 50p indication, hence why I have removed the "RTC" indication from the list as the product just seems to be plain straight price now for me, although it could be RTC as it is there, with that plain SEL, on the reduced shelf in another store. It doesn't really matter whether this is RTC or not. Also, it's possible the Tommee Tippee, if or as it exists somewhere, could be £20 full price now - that sometimes happens when items have disappeared from several stores for me, not infrequently at the end of an offer - they turn up to be full price when I eventually find them in a new store or turn out to have gone to full price online.

Then again, if I visit lots of stores and have an item in just one - that doesn't mean the APG doesn't have it - I've been round stores and failed to find an item before at all (which I knew would still exist, I just hadn't got it in any of my what was back then 24 stores by that stage) and the APG did have it.

No :rotfl:

The cans dont have a ring pull, as such, the while lid comes off, which is great if you want to gulp the whole can down ( can size is 330, same as a can of coke, but alch is 4.5%).

Festival beer imo, but at the bargain price, could not be resisted.

What is going on in the glitchy world ?

Has anyone still got the 18 cans packs of Kronenbourg in their M?:rotfl:

That disappeared on me over a month ago, after I still found it to be £10 in one store - although other cans packs of alcohol had gone up, that one had not, which was a surprise to me but then suggested that it was regularly £10 and was going to remain at that whilst stocks lasted. It then disappeared from that store and a further visit to it now has failed to turn it up, although it did inform me of something else I did not already know that I would have remained not knowing if I had not gone there.

I have long had to remove the Kronenbourg from my list and therefore lost it completely, as I could not say that it was still £10 and had to remove it. It's possible that it could still be somewhere in M although I think it will be extremely rare now. If it exists, I think it is likely to be in a store that had the stock with no price label, which then remained absent for several weeks, which, because there was no price, then did not sell out and could be there now. They could have put the £10 price label onto it, now a month later, belatedly, and if that long-shot store happens to be a price collection store, the price could be picked up. Or it could just be there, tucked somewhere along the regular shelves, not prominently out somewhere in the aisles or at the front of the store, in a non-descript place with a small SEL on a bottom-level shelf that no-one has noticed. However, I think it stands virtually no chance. And all non-descript places in my stores have been checked for it and it's not there:rotfl::rotfl:. Unless it's making visits and then disappearing again between the times I visit on all days on which I am not there:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Has all stock gone from every M that had it?
Btw, as for the Old Rosie, I eventually lost that too - it went to £8 RTC and was seen in a number of my stores and I know other people found it - however, weeks later, I have actually had a unit of damaged stock turn up with a store specific cheaper RTC price. So, I can say that, as of last Wednesday, M did still have stock of that somewhere and my unit was available for purchase cheaper because it was damaged (or I think that was the reason it was knocked down - it seems to me to have been). I no longer have any surprise about these exciting items suddenly turning up:rotfl:.

Has all Kronenbourg 18 pack gone from M? As usual now, I can't say that it has and it's possible that M still has it somewhere. Don't go making a special trip to try to find it as it's likely a wild goose chase, although if someone somewhere does have it or knows that it is still in their store (most probably having had stock that wasn't brought out earlier or had missed price labels), you know it is right that I'm speaking of the possibility it still exists in M:D:rotfl:. (I no longer do my old thing of saying something has gone from M, which I used regularly to do:eek: several years ago, as it almost always has not - and the occasions on which it ever has, probably far fewer in number, I could never know it had.)
