I thought these weren't necessary now with modern boilers?
I got rid of ours when the boiler was replaced plus we haven't got a gas fire?
Is this correct?

Morning peeps.
Extended bh in our house.

When we had our gas safety certificate done, he tested all that and a million and one questions:o

I remembered straight after

Savvybuyer

Kitchen Towels still fully working against M.
1x ASDA Shades Kitchen Towels (2roll) £2.00 £1.00
1x ASDA Shades Decorated Kitchen Towels (2roll) £2.00 £1.00

Could change within 24 hours:rotfl:. 2 for £2 at M, due to be on for a further two weeks, could be extended, but A is a glitch.

My expensive cereal worked against M, which was a surprise.
1x Kellogg's Special K Original (300g)£1.00 £1.00

This is a former RTC item in M (RTC price the same £1) and it disappeared from stores for me, had a random hit at one store, then vanished from there and found only at one of my other stores. I never fully lost the product, if I include a period of about a week where I had a SEL only but no stock and was therefore not OOS for too long. I thought I was going to lose trace of the product in M completely after that. However, it seemed to be reinvigorated as more stock came back in and has been there for me ever since. The SEL has been continuing at £1 and no indication of RTC anymore so I have taken it to be regular £1 in M now. (The RTC had seen the product, in my stores, on aisle ends and 'random' locations where I don't think they collect prices from.)

I thought it could just be my store where the product has gone into the stock on the regular cereal aisle shelves and is continuing in stock. However, it seems the stock arriving back in a few weeks ago may have seen the product arriving and continuing back at other Ms at £1 now and the APG collection has it. I had seen it comparing an hour ago when one of my wombles also bought it (people buying items on r'back out of stores:(). At that point it was therefore clear that my shop would pick the item up. This was £1.97 in A recently but has gone onto r'back - I decided to buy it as it would just mean paying the same price in A as M if it didn't work - otherwise it might pick up M.

As far as my list was concerned, I just kept the item on there and didn't indicate anything about me thinking it probably wouldn't work. I indicated that it is very expensive price for the amount though. It does work so I was right to leave it there and not indicate anything. I need a big pack, possibly damaged, on proper reduction somewhere but such a thing is hard to come by. As far as cereals go, whilst I managed to find a big Rice Krispies at 99p some months ago, my Ms have only been able to provide a few pence reduction off full price cereals that is still way more expensive than any offer prices to which those packs go! £2.40 for a damaged box of cereal:eek: - no thank you.

Even on 'offers' the bigger packs are too expensive for me. Really IMO there are normally only two prices for these cereals - expensive offer price and even more expensive full price. Compared to a damaged big box at 99p, the small box vs £1 price is still very expensive:rotfl:.


Kellogg's Special K Original (300g)

£1.00 33.3p / 100g

• 
  £2.09 save 50% on any 2nd item
• 
  £2.00
• 
  £2.00 *
• 
  ---

It doesn't pick up T and doesn't pick up W at all, but such a thing is irrelevant. I bet it's on cheaper RTC in T now than I've bought it for - it was £1 instore there recently.
