The A 342 wine display banner says display until 11/4, so another week to play if there remain any good offers elsewhere to match against.

Ps - they got me back on 1kg Flora Buttery - it should be £2.00 v £2.00 but came back £2 v £2.98 . Also don't get the SP 15 pack eggs as they came back £1.19 v £1.40 AvM

Was the Flora Buttery 1Kg on £2 in M last Wednesday? I don't know, as I have ruled out those prices on branded spreads for some time. I don't normally notice offers at that price (if the price was half that, then I certainly would:rotfl:) but I did see that there seemed to be several spreads now on offer price in M yesterday - lots of yellow labels in that aisle in my M now. There were definitely more yesterday than last week, so it's possible the Flora Buttery has only just started on £2 in M.

No eggs whatsoever in little T, just Lindt bunnies at a shocking £1.50 rtc.

BUT from the rtc shelf I've liberated these:

Men Sure Motionsense Compressed Invisible Ice Fresh 25p
Nivea Invisible Black and White 48hr Limited Edition Matthew Williamson 15p
Colgate Plax Green 20p
Colgate Total Whitening Pump 30p

So I feel I did OK, though actually DD has done even better as she'll be getting the sprays FOC, so all I've really done is inflate the price of the milk I went in there to buy...

Same A price.
One loose carrot for 3.6p or a 1Kg bag for not much more?
Even on 1Kg bags on 20p why would four carrots at 5p each be bought instead of a bag? (In fact the loose carrots are likely to be smaller - normal cost on A prices is about 7 or 8p each. Three loose carrots or a bag at 20p? I'm just not sure why to have been using loose carrots when the bags were 20p and not losing out against N/A.)

Sorry, I don't know. I made the mistake of checking MSM rather than just getting a normal filler .

So definitely an early shop required to be sure then (and never any guarantees).

If you want any then go early, get what you want/need (in multiple shops if required) ... or stay home and don't ask tomorrow if this is still working .

Yes I have got the comparable wines on M's 3 for £15 offer on my list as due to end in M tomorrow. Going to be a very busy day.

I've just lost out as someone shopped yesterday and bought some Harpic toilet cleaner at £2 in A. The product looks like it started on £1 in M yesterday and, with the prices I believe M was at yesterday, the shop would have been best overall against M. However, the APG has returned £2 for M on the toilet cleaner as it was last Wednesday. It has therefore compared the shop overall as best against S, where the cleaner comes back with £1, meaning that some Jacob's Cheddar Biscuits - 65p S - have been obtained for more expensive than it would to have just bought them in M.

I think last Wednesday may be staying for a little longer, as - despite what the T&Cs suggest in saying prices are collected on Monday and Wednesday - I don't think they would have been collecting on a Bank Holiday (exc. Scotland). If they are not collecting until today, or tomorrow, then the prices today will remain all day at last Wednesday's M, regardless it seems of what the expiry date in M is - when they collect, they don't time the prices to expire on the system and become N/A or anything like that even if the expiry date (which isn't usually stated in M anymore as far as I can understand) is due before the next collection date. I think this might last into tomorrow as Tuesday's presumed collection won't get into the system until some time tomorrow or might not even make it until Thursday. In fact, even if they collected yesterday, the wines mbuy would have been on in M so that data should last until at least into Thursday although it may be slightly different from last Wednesday (that we are currently used to) depending on whether some of their stores yesterday were OOS or had missed the mbuy on some of them on their shelf - should be 3 for £15 on them.

If they are doing a collection today in lieu of Monday, then they should still have 3 for £15 in M today and that will last into Thursday (or may even only be updated into the system on that day although it may then soon be replaced by Wednesday and presumably no offers or a different - probably less favourable? - offer). However, I wouldn't like to say a Tuesday collection - today - was going to get 3 for £15. It should do, as prices should be 3 for £15 in M today; however stores sometimes lose the offer on their shelves the day before - although this seems usually to be the evening before whereas the price collectors seem to collect fairly early so should still generally have 3 for £15 (and then last until Thursday or into Friday when Wednesday's collection will probably hit the system).

My wines were still showing 3 for £15 in my Ms yesterday - on a normal week that collection would last into at least some, and usually most, of Thursday. Quite often, the Wednesday, that would overrule it, has not reached the system until Friday. The fact items are still showing offer pricing even though an offer is due to end fairly soon is something that I like to see, at least when I have more stores than I had yesterday, hoping for a clue as to whether they might be likely to continue to work on the APG or whether it seems that generally M now has full prices showing prematurely. They had the offers for me yesterday although, if there is a collection today, I can't say as to whether they seem generally still to have the offers displayed today as I am not there today so I wouldn't like to say whether a presumed Tuesday collection is likely to get 3 for £15 but it should do - and then probably last on the expired M prices until Friday (either on the basis of last Wednesday or on Tuesday reaching the system on Wednesday/Thursday and still being at 3 for £15 in M for Tuesday). The APG can be fairly slow to update so the 3 for £15 price may be sticking around for a while even after it expires in M - should be on 3 for £15 for a collection done yesterday or on one done today.

AP I used two Dine £10s on 2 meals at a Vintage pub today, paid for everything together, they scanned both barcodes on the till which worked fine.
