Oh those poor children:o

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Actually I am very lucky and need to book West Coast trains for my work travel so the kids only travel on East Coast.

If it wasn't getting in the way at the bottom of the stairs, I'd think I'd dreamed it, but a large 90 wash pack of Surf Tropical Lily & Ylang Ylang Washing Powder 90 Wash 6.3kg was reduced to £7 in my M last night.

Pause.

Now I remember it was M and not A, the dream has solidified into reality and you can find it online too:

From a Marks email yesterday they seem to have a £5 Italian meal deal - fresh pasta, sauce tub and garlic bread/salad. I cant find anything on the website to confirm this or what the selection is.

But I am thinking it would be excellent for using up the £3 and £5 AP vouchers - possibly everything is freezable?

It seems better value than the £10 dine in offer - we dont really need the wine

Getting things in order is a must for a lot of deals. Bella is the 40% first, then Droid payment. Harvester is AA then Droid.

Vergen Reed is free if you win, and there have been loads of wins so you stand a good chance.

This was one of the two items (both Dettol wipes) that I believe I wrongly put "DELETE" against on Monday. I later thought they were still on offer until 17th April so my deletion was probably wrong and my stores generally in the last two days have been showing £1 (indeed I only have my start store showing full price £2.26). Price collectors have got full price as well:(.

1x Dettol Surface Cleaning Wipes Anti Bacterial (36pk) £1.00 £2.26

That could well make a difference meaning they are not 10% cheaper. This from a womble although it was already no chance of getting an APG - other shops however it could well make the difference.

But there you are - I am psychic now about the APG proposing items for deletion in advance of their failing:rotfl:.

This could well be from Monday/Tuesday - perhaps M went to £2.26 at the start of the week, when I had only one store, and changed back to £1 on Wednesday:rotfl:. I don't know - anything's possible. Seems unlikely though - I reckon £1 throughout (although I don't even know that they are £1 instore as I haven't scanned them - but I am getting that price showing frequently which suggests they are, although the APG probably isn't. There is a cleaning event in progress at M at the moment and it seems likely to me that these wipes are part of that - indeed I have them in the event aisle in my stores. That could well be the problem, as stock has been moved to an event aisle showing the offers but stores leave full price on the SEL in the household aisle and the APG ends up with more stores with full price. I have offer SELs on the household aisles generally now though - enough of checking the same items through store after store!).

Of course it could be that they really are £2.26 instore and my SEL at the start was correct. However it seems unlikely to me and I think they are likely to be £1 due to the cleaning event. Anyway, I will either delete or cross off on the update due to the APG failure.

This might not yet be Wednesday's data (the shop was yesterday so it may still have been on an earlier collection for Thursday shops) - the system may or may not have updated to Wednesday by now. Has anyone got 6 pint milk returning £1.48 price for M? Actually, come to think of it, I have updated that already so that was Monday. I would need to see items that changed by Wednesday. It would be good to know nonetheless as to whether that price has been picked up yet. TIA.

So, the sugar tax levy starts today.

Which from my limited and biased point of view, means that a very high number of drinks will now default into sweetener instead, and those who avoid them will have to check the ingredients panels carefully.

I've done just that with the Robinson's Fruit Creations, and they have sweeteners in them.

On the plus side, the Coop accepted mocs with no problem. I noticed on the receipt that it says '£1 off any Robinsons' so tomorrow I'll experiment, if I can find any without sweetener.

Also on the plus side, it let me print a couple this morning.:)
