Evening luvlies, thanks for the post Sarah. I picked up these today, all should have been £2.99 a pack, reduced to 30p, they're with the hair stuff. They're great for ponytails as they don't leave a kink in your hair when you take them out. Also got a pack of neon colours and blue greys but gave these to DDs

Silly question, can you claim more than one flavour of Rana on the same receipt? I can see no mention of multiple claims on their website but then I do miss things and mess up TMFs .

Many thanks

All required Rana info here...

I posted a list of the flavours earlier today, about 5 pm or so. sorry, too tired to go looking for it now. You don't need a flashed pack.

has anyone done this yet and did it skip the 'how do you want it paid?' screen please? Very confused about what happened!

Evening peeps.

I am totally deaf in my left ear. Build up of wax apparently. I've tried every method to clear it but to no avail! I'm due to have it syringed in 2 weeks. I've had it for 2 months now! It's just so weird going out as all the sounds seem to come from a different place!

On a plus note. If you have the Robinsons vouchers, You can use them on the self serve in T's for the 2 for £2 squash without any intervention, making them free. Just use 2 at a time.

thanks for the Robinsons info Scamps. I shall now go looking for the vouchers!

Best thing ever to clear wax and to soften it while waiting for syringing is Earex. It doesn't expand the wax like olive oil which can also cause temporary tinnitus. And Otrex irritates the ear canal. Have a look at the reviews on Amazon. M sells it by the way.

Sods law. Filled up car with petrol from S yesterday and today got some spend £20 instore, get 6p off litre in the post :eek:.

Nice to see the aPg is fixed. Is it 2 or 3 hours wait?

No virgin nectar offer for me or him this time

One of my Ss is now cheaper - contrary to my expectations yesterday as my M that initially hadn't put its price up had now done so. So I filled up and collected a few Nectar points (that works out slightly cheaper than what my A and Ms were - although it still means paying the full S price and getting points, never a cash refund). Only for me to fill up... and then get a 'double Nectar points off fuel' coupon:(. If I'd have known that, I would have bought one litre of fuel and then filled up with the rest on double points. However I suspect, if I hadn't bought several litres first off, I wouldn't have had any coupon at all. Of course the coupon is time-limited, causing either a return visit or a loss of the double points. Depending on the prices elsewhere at the time I next want fuel, I probably will return on the final day of the coupon to be able to fill with as much as I can and make full use of the double points. It might help me reach an exact £10 of points which I am only a few points short of and then can the whole thing and not be drawn into any further purchases.

:(A disappointing £2.17 from this receipt from 5th April. I checked it yesterday as I understood we were still on the "wait until after 6am" at that time.

I thought that, with items such as this, A should turn out not to be cheaper:

1x Gaviscon Advance Aniseed Flavour Oral Suspension (300ml) £8.99 £7.00
1x Capri-Sun Mango Drinks (10x200) £2.98 £2.50
1x Capri-Sun Tropical Drinks (10x200) £2.98 £2.50

Note W was 2 for £4 on Capri drinks when I looked two days ago, although they missed it by buying the Mango version that does not compare.

Unfortunately they lost a lot of the difference and A came out cheaper:(.

1x Glade Plug In Air Freshener Refill Bali Sandalwood & Jasmine (refill) £2.50 £3.60

This seems to have been £2.50 in M for several months. Of course, they buy straight after the offer in M appears to have ended, with all but one of my stores now showing £3.60.

No use buying Fibre One bars against full price in M:mad:.

1x Fibre One 90 Calorie Chocolate Fudge Brownie Bars 5 Pack (5x24g) £1.25 £2.88:(
1x Fibre One 90 Calorie Salted Caramel Square Bars 5 Pack (5x24g) £1.25 £2.88:(

I thought Pringles 200g were £1.25 in M (and showing that online) - however they have full price M:

1x Pringles Original Flavour (200g) £1.25 £2.00:mad:
1x Pringles Prawn Cocktail Flavour (200g) £1.25 £2.00:mad:

I can't say whether they were £1.25 in M on Wednesday but I believe they may have been because I have a hazy recollection of seeing £1.25 in M but can't remember whether it was Wednesday or Thursday. The old 190g Pringles used to go to £1 offers. When Pringles 200g first went onto £1.25 offer, I thought that might be as good as we now got due to the higher weight. However, the 200g cartons then proved themselves capable of going to £1 elsewhere - and ever since they did that, I now automatically rule out £1.25 prices if I see them.

:(I've just seen that Three Cheese & Onion, which I understand to still be on offer in M at £1.92 and should adjust to £1.96 or £1.97, is now picking up full price M.

1x ASDA Three Cheese & Onion (410g) £2.00 £2.15

So, in total, hardly much more than the difference on the Gaviscon. How to lose the £2.69 APG that that item gives:(.

The Three Cheese & Onion could well be something where stores that change their SEL to show the yellow label offer price. It thereby attract shoppers' attentions, these stores go OOS and remove the SEL thus losing trace of the product. Leaving the product in stores that have incorrect full price on the shelf on an ordinary white label:(. Just so many seemingly incorrect full prices in various places at the moment, with items on the boundary as to which way they will go. One of mine I had issues with is Squashums Huge Tubes. Showing £1 about half the time for me but some full price £2 around and, when I get to my final store to see if I have a £1 that tips the balance - me believing the product is likely to be £1 but still not settled on that as I saw a few £2s around - I visit another store that is showing £2:( and eventually decide to scan the item (that I had managed to avoid doing before) and find it is £1. Meanwhile, I have two Actimel Kids products showing £2 but then find £1 still showing somewhere. I even had the Nestle Desserts both showing £1 each in one store, even though I think they are not on offer and have £2 showing everywhere else. I shall ignore those £1 SELs, up several weeks after an offer was believed to have ended, although there reappearance for me sows a little doubt. How do I know which way the prices are going? I believe the Actimel Kids products are £2, as my store where it had the offer for a while (as did other places) has changed to £2, even though I have a couple of stores that haven't changed. The Huge Tubes remain at £1, with stores still having the offer showing, although several seem to have removed it in error or else their £1 offer label has dropped off the shelf leaving £2 now showing that had previously been underneath it and put the SELs to full price or else never put the £1 offer SEL on in the first place. I was generally getting £1, until, hoping to have another store showing £1 to "confirm" that (as if anything ever confirms anything) I picked another store that shows £2:(. My balance is tipping towards £2, even though the product, as at Thursday, was really still £1.

The Actimel Kids, that were £1, with £1 still showing in a couple of places, are I believe now £2 with majority of my stores showing that (I have got enough stores to start saying £2 is more likely) and have clearly been changed from £1 to £2 in several stores. The £1 Huge Tubes on which some stores have it seems continued show £2 are £1. On pure SELs I am in the balance on changing to £2 and, after picking another "£2" store:(, was then put into enough doubt to be caused to scan the product and find that, surprise surprise, it is still £1. Point is that SELs could just tip over into full price on some items with four stores against two showing incorrect full price, just random depending on which store I happened to visit - had I picked a different sixth place, and got correct £1, I would have ended up with three stores at each price and £1 just been picked as lowest price on a tie. Really, for half the stores to be wrong...!! The stores are ever-changing and could switch around next time and give a different result, despite no price change on the item in M.

I understood that Freixenet Prosecco is £12 in M - I don't see any £9 SELs - but I see that is getting £9 M on the APG. Staff in one of my stores seem to get round to changing the SELs on some items just before an offer ends and then don't get round to changing them back to full price until some time later. M could have offer price showing in collection stores when they are full price and full price showing when they are on offer. Otherwise this seems to be an item where, again, the APG seems to have reverted to two-week old data

I think it is just taking your existing account for Shopm to process it - if your email is registered it is using the settings for that account. I had this on a couple of TMFs and it did not ask for payment details but put it straight into PPal.

This receipt from yesterday - looked like it was likely to be more than 10% cheaper as they appeared to be buying items on A offers - is surprisingly £3 versus M (therefore actually better than the £2.17 receipt that I thought should be at least £7).

However, it seems I have lost again.

Still picking up £1.50 M:(.
1x ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk (6pt) £1.48 £1.50

And this is £1 in M?
1x Walkers Prawn Cocktail Crisps (6x25g) £1.65 £1.50:mad::(

Who is it that has got their M showing full price on Walkers standard crisps? I believe these are clearly £1 from my stores. Seems the collectors have lots of stores that have changed to full price or not showed the offer:(. Just hopeless - is this like the McCoy's 6x27g pack crisps that have changed to £1.50 full price in one of my stores but are still showing £1 everywhere else for me? I am thinking they are £1; however how do I know I haven't got five stores that had all not yet changed to full price by the times I visited them?
