    This one is also available in M now at £1, but it looks very new and I don't know what chance it has of being picked up:

    I don't know how something "looks" very new - I suppose by having a label saying "New" on it and me not having seen it before - although I might not have visited the right place until now and therefore only just seen it.

    Mind you I would rather go for the Sour Cream and the Sun Ripened Chilli and not try the Original Lightly Salted for some reason.

    In fact, a lot of the stock in my kitchen and stationery aisles now looks bright, shiny and new. M do have a new range there - although the prices on the new stuff are obviously way in excess of the old clearance items that I prefer, that are now largely gone. I do still pick up the odd additional one, on its own, in a store at random. There's what will probably happen now - if any unit of stock happens not to have been sold, or was misplaced earlier, it may appear - and it'll probably just be one item out of tens that went - in a store still on RTC now. The chances of finding a wide range in a store seem remote but the odd one, maybe two, may be found at the backs of stores, RTC shelves, hanging off a clipstrip in a random aisle:rotfl:, that sort of thing - it'll be a random product and a different random product depending on which store you happened to be in - even now.

    I won't bother with Square Cheese & Onion or Squares Salt & Vinegar (£1 in M) as they are only £1.45 in the A offer. EDIT: Likewise some French Fries (could also be vs S and W at £1).

    Not expensive enough - then to be a lot cheaper.
