    Keep up at the back:D


    Despite being a day off it was kinda busy what with an on-off-on airbnb booking for tonight in the middle of everything else that was going on with the DKs and we are actually a bit sick of yogs at the moment so didn't pay too much attention especially when the write up said 41p each which didn't sound like a bargain - I now understand it was for 6 and we could probably have fed them all to the students we have staying next week but after the trouting at T I just couldn't be bothered to do any more supermarket today.


    The students will just have to have the 16 brewdogs we scored from OneTwo in between violin and ballet - I would say I don't suppose they will object but they are German so ipa may not be there thing - still I think it is import we offer them some beers and the chance to watch the football with us in an international bonding sort of way.....:rotfl:

    It's down here in Devon :D.


    Thanks for the yoghurt heads up! Although I don't think I'll make the trip today, we've still got loads of Mullers and Fage pots left.




    I noticed that Shreddies Max are back on Shoppmium for 50% off two different flavours. They're £2 in A's, and £1.50 in M's. However on MySupermaket the Cranberry and Oat is showing as out of stock in M, and on the M website only the plain oat is visible, and also out of stock. So I'm not sure if this is much help at all!!

    According to what you're saying here, msm is therefore consistent with m.com as obviously both were on m.com but Cranberry & Oat has dropped off. The fact Cranberry & Oat has gone from m.com has got picked up by msm so is showing OOS/"Unavailable" on msm. It seems to me plain Oat has gone OOS on m.com later so looks to be going the same way on msm soon (after 7 days of absence from m.com, Cranberry & Oat will probably change to "---" for M on msm - plain Oat will probably briefly be showing M price but OOS (on competitor sides) and "Unavailable in Morrisons" (on the M side, when it's definitely still available in M) until it too changes to "---" for M on msm).

    I wouldn't bother with online but instead I would use my list, and I have both items on there with £1.50 in M. They are RTC items in M that I added only last week and I can tell you that they are currently staying around for me and both definitely available across my M stores. I have them in one store; however that is both of them in my main store and, as I've got them there, I don't need to go beyond that. They are on the list with 9th September as the end date. However, I wouldn't place too much on that - not only can prices change before a due date, this one is a long-stop date, from the time when the items did have the stated expiry date on m.com/msm, and as RTC items often remain in some store somewhere after months on end, long after they have gone for me from everywhere else, then make a random appearance for one day on one week only in a store where I haven't seen them for months from which they promptly disappear without trace two days later, the 'end date' exists as a guide to me as to when finally to take the items off the list.

    It doesn't mean the item will continue to be available in APG collection stores all that time. I had some cooked ham that had a long date in the future: I saw in a couple of stores and then it promptly disappeared after about a week. I very much doubt it would be picked up for very long.

    I have thought about two or three months ago how to make the RTC items more useful on the list, by perhaps some sort of coding as to when they went onto the list and information about whether they have gone or are still staying around. The problem is that this is from my perspective and not that of the collection stores: this is just my stores and items could have gone for me but be staying around at one collection store or an item, or items, could be staying around in one of my stores but have gone from virtually everywhere else.

    I have a very good idea as to which items I'd say were still around, from my stores, and which of them have gone. Nonetheless, this is inevitably based on what has happened across my own stores so might not be right although I can see items that have disappeared entirely from all of them and are probably gone except in a rare store that the APG won't have as I don't have them either or may still be around.

    In fact I notice on the list at the moment, the section of RTCs on packets & cereals, which contains the two Shreddies Max items, is headed that most of the items will probably not work. However, this is a note from earlier and hasn't been updated yet, after some items, including the two Shreddies Max, have been added only the other week, were added in bold (which at the time ought to suggest "but this item has only just been found so clearly isn't one of the items that went on RTC a while ago and might now no longer be in many stores so probably won't work") but I've done an update from Monday in the meantime and the items have now had their bold removed and gone into the rest of the list. Some items on RTC in M do seem to disappear very quickly and be gone within a week or two (but then again that's not true because I'll then go around to another M and find one of the items is now there obviously still got some stock left there but now gone from my other stores but I won't have the full range anymore and seemingly disappeared from most stores - of course if I then went on a search of numerous Ms, it would then turn up somewhere but that's probably past the time when it would be found in the collection stores). Other items do seem to stay around a bit - but maybe that's just my stores or just the one that still has them (and as I'm only a small number these days, doesn't stick out as often I have items only a one store as every store has ranges of items specific to it).

    I can say that the Shreddies Max products are both sticking around for me at the moment and I'd think they'd currently work. The collectors should have them somewhere I would think. However, that's again just my stores so it may or may not be of any help.

    I am now giving another thought as to how to show the RTC items more usefully or give some indication as to which might work, which probably won't, what's still around and what's very rare. However, that's just from my stores: having had absolutely nothing for months on one RTC product, I once visited a suspected collection store and found the item was in that store but absolutely nowhere else for me by that time. Then, months later, it made a random return to one of my regular stores and then disappeared again there. The trouble is I never manage to get much beyond the updating for one list to the next and things like adding information onto RTCs are one of those things that are nice to get to and the icing on the cake but by time I've updated the last day, I don't make much headway into anything else.

    I shouldn't still be saying that the packets & cereals probably won't work when I've added several only in the last week and the "probably won't work" then gets lost to the fact that "some might now work" (namely the newly added ones) so the note disappears entirely and then suggests all the items are still going to work when that's most unlikely. I tend just to get rid of notes at some stage or, after a few weeks of keeping an item on but crossed out, as had a new higher M price, I then get rid of it entirely by then assuming that everyone knows. This is also due to me having to do this sometimes because I run up against the character limit to the posts and have to move things around or, sometimes, delete some expired stuff in order to make the room.

    It's the lack of room that also explains the lack of giving specific information on each RTC item. I could sit here and write very long notes of explanation after each item but then would not have room on the list - even if one item has had such a note in the past, sometimes I remove it to deal with this problem and create the space. The current list, as updated from Monday, is very good and absolute perfection of a list (except that it's now out of date and I've now got about the same amount of stuff as I changed/added from Monday to change/add from now yesterday). From Monday I added Apple Turnovers and Raspberry Turnovers but have immediately crossed them out - that's because, as last time, there are items of the same description in M that are much higher price that may well be picked up by the APG instead. I would have added these notes to both again but I was up against the character limit and so have not done so just yet. I need to delete some of the stuff that expired on Monday and then hopefully will have room (without moving everything around yet again) but I also have Wednesday's new items to add, on top of the crossed out expired Wednesday but which will remain on the list (unless I miss out collection days and then take stuff straight off rather than leaving it on but crossed out as 'should still work until the APG update' and then it gets removed next time).

    This time, I have an item that was showing RTC last time that, assuming the RTC price indication on Monday was correct, has gone straight back up in price. So that is going to be crossed out/removed. I will be putting back onto the list an item that appeared last week, on RTC, that got removed completely after Monday (it was a "buy in M" so, unless I specifically wish to highlight a price increase in M with the implication of avoid buying this item now, it gets deleted entirely from the list straight away as there is no lag-behind time of an APG that takes a few days to update). This apparently RTC item - I thought my store that was showing RTC last week had changed its SEL to full price on Monday, telling me the RTC had ended almost immediately, so got rid of it as I went to full price. That was on the basis of only two stores nonetheless. I have other stores on Wednesday showing the RTC, one of which I now think was the initial store I got the RTC from, rather than Monday's store that I thought had it before and went to full price - I now think it's always been showing full price there and store hasn't yet put the RTC SEL on. Anyway, long short, I put the item onto the list last week. I removed it after Monday on finding full price SEL. I will now be putting the RTC back onto the list.

    So one item seems to have gone onto RTC, if it did, and then to have gone right back up in price (that has now been scanned as more than one store had changed its shelf for me yesterday, suggesting something had happened so, thinking I may be complete no trace at my fourth and final store, I eventually scanned it at my third and found it is now full price). I shall be putting back an apparent RTC that I removed last time.

    It's just immediate changes from one day to the next. I have the Iceberg Lettuce going back on again now - whether or not that's right (I'll have a look at online to see if that's changed back) - the SELs I've had suggest: it had gone down to 50p on or by Monday last week; it was still 50p but moving towards 57p on Wednesday last week; it was 57p Monday just gone; it is now 50p again. That's what my SELs have been going: we shall see if that is or isn't following online - I seem generally to be in line with online from my stores except on items that seem clearly to be a different price instore where I then have that different price instore showing in all my stores - the items I have though could just be any price at all - I ended with my fourth store giving me a third 50p; however if that had gone the other way, I could have ended with two at 57p and two at 50p like I thought I was about to have! Meanwhile, on some of the alcohol bottles (not Scotland - any alcohol I mention from now on should be taken to exclude Scotland unfortunately - and, if you're now going back over my old posts, the same exclusion applies there too:rotfl:) - from my stores, I'm now in a complete fog over what prices a set of alcohol bottles now are and will have to have to use online to assist or leave me guessing further, until I have another price collection day on which I can visit somewhere else (not due for another few weeks).

    I think what happens is that, on a price change, the main aisle stock SEL gets changed - unless the product is not on the main aisle (either because it's OOS in the store or because stock has been moved to an aisle end), in which case the SEL there may or may not be changed. However, maybe one of my stores hasn't got round to changing the SEL there yet, so I still have offers on two that may be off. The others seem to be off, except aisle end stock and stock elsewhere in stores has offer price SELs, which it's possible haven't been changed as staff go to the main aisle and change those SELs first and havent yet found all the numerous places in stores at which other stock of the same product, with SELs, is located. Then again, I've had the Rustler's Chicken Sandwich with £2 SEL on the main aisle in all but one of my stores. On this occasion - and it's not the £1 flashed stock (which isn't currently in existence in the public areas at least of my stores) - the SEL has a "previous price applied between" notice (sometimes a clue that the product was cheaper before than its current offer price is, although this product afaik hasn't been cheaper) and the end date of the previous price therefore tells me when the current offer price (if indeed it is still on) started - unfortunately it is not 27th June so I was still in doubt as to whether, having gone to £1 in early June, it was now still £1 or whether all the £1 labels I see, one in a main aisle stock, several others on aisle ends or other locations, are unchanged SELs. Eventually I got so many conflicts (with three £2s in main aisles), that I had the product scanned - and, as of yesterday, it was still £1. So, even though many of the £1 labels were in locations other than main aisle run, and most main aisle run said £2 for me, the price of £1 was still correct and my thought that staff may change main aisle first when prices have changed turns out not to be correct. Perhaps the item has gone up today (Thursday) and SELs have been changed slightly in advance? Or maybe the £2 SELs in main aisles have never been changed to show the £1 offer and that has been put on onto stock that is on aisle ends or other locations in the stores.

    So there we are - Monday, where I thought, with just two stores which I was limited to, that "could I even suggest that my Ms are generally showing me correct prices and enabling me to know what the prices actually are?" to Wednesday, where I'm getting some agreement, more and more and eventually end up with what I think the price is on more items and on most things by the fourth store but, on some, I'm now up in the air.

    Anyway - the Shreddies Max - RTC items sticking around for me and I think they should work.

    It's that time of the week when, having been out to M on Monday, on updating on Tuesday, out at M on Wednesday, I now finally get round to being able to post something on here (other than changing the M list posts).

    Although Monday (which I was updating on Tuesday) didn't seem to have much expired, I think it was quite a long update now and I didn't have time at the end to go beyond what I had instore (for example to see if HUKD had found something additional that I hadn't) or to notice the RTC Packets & Cereals note. I had to do an emergency copy of the list rather than updating my print-out as so much had changed and there wasn't time at the end for that. It looks like I now have just about the same amount again from Wednesday - again, nothing much apparently expired but lots of changes to make! Fortunately I have four days instead of one, although of course I have other things to do as well. So, my apologies that I don't get round to much things on here these days apart from trying to keep the M list up-to-date (and succeeding in that apart from goodness knows what happens to the RTCs eventually). As I am now here however, I might get round to a few things now, such as what I might think on the RTC packets & cereals items hopefully next.

    I did come back here and see the glitch on Wednesday on Muller 6 pack and desserts etc. Thanks for letting me know:T.

    Having had my previous set of Mullers consumed, it might be thought I would go and replace them. I decided however that the Mullers they'd had would be it and that I didn't have a need for any more, or for the desserts as we can live without them and it would only provide them with things to consume! Whilst the Cadbury's Twinpots are around 'my price' (somewhat better than bog-standard 50p - actually they are it seems more usually on worse mbuys), I thought now that, for what they are, that's still way too dear - as, for four desserts, i.e. four pots, for 35p each, it's still £1.40:eek:! As you can get pots of four pack desserts for £1 (and even that's expensive round-pound and should be 50p or lower), they just seemed too expensive for me even after the glitch:rotfl::rotfl:. I'm obviously getting way too savvy but, really, for a bit of chocolate dessert, it seems to me a very good way for manufacturers (via retailers) to let us have very little product indeed for expensive price per unit on the basis of being a very well-known brand! Can't we get a 'value' packet of dessert or something, add milk, and then get far more than 90g to share out at least four separate portions of? Does that work out cheaper?

    I suppose - let me work it out - if we say 16p for a Strawberry Whip dessert, then 300ml of milk is a bit more than half a pint but roughly one twelfth of a six pint milk - a bit more but let's do ballpark rough figure - it's a little more than 12p even if paying full price £1.48 for the 6 pint milk and not getting 10% cheaper than now £1.50 competitor comparison. Roughly 30p and end up with at least four portions, or about 7.5p each. Seems it is much cheaper this way than even a glitch - 7.5p for four desserts instead of 35p each or whatever it was. Even if we pay twice as much for the whip desserts, as wanting a different flavour to Strawberry and then having to go up a brand level, it would still seem much cheaper. I hadn't thought of this before I'd already decided not to be tempted by unnecessaries such as chocolate twinpots this time - we've had enough in the past and I have gone for things like this before. But this time I did not succumb to temptation - we happen to have a whip dessert and a bit more milk than we'd otherwise use within its date - the whip dessert date is itself almost up as they have been spaced at intervals and thus lasted - so I've happened to make a rare whip dessert now - and then thought it seems a far better way than going for twinpots. It is just me showing significant restraint and avoiding temptation on them.

    Meanwhile, with the Mullers, I think we've had too many good offers in the past and it's probably that better than free before now makes paying for them not seem very good. As they didn't include Muller Rices this time but confined to yoghurts, as I would have to be making a special trip to A, on a day when I didn't have much time to do a special shop, and didn't have other items to buy that would be needed to make up eight, I decided not to bother with them this time. They'd still cost money (and times by six as having to buy six in each pack), plus the extra money of the other items I'd need to buy, that I didn't need right now and, at the end of it, I'd still end up with less money than what I have now and just for the sake of some desserts that had tempted me, so in the end I decided to keep what I've got and not bother buying any of them. Total spend zero - and no Mullers:rotfl:.

    Thank you for letting me know - I might well buy them next time such a thing comes around.

    RTC:
    It's possible most of these won't work now:
    Ambrosia Devon Custard (4x400g)£3.18 £2.00 - NOT SEEN FOR AGES, DON'T THINK THEY'LL WORK
    Ambrosia Devon Custard Pot (500g)£1.10 £1.00 until 8/7:eek: SAME THING, LONG GONE FROM EVERYWHERE FOR ME.
    Ambrosia Light Devon Custard (500g)£1.10 £1.00 until 8/7:eek: AS ABOVE.
    Ambrosia Rice Pudding (4x400g)£3.18 £2.00 AS ABOVE.
    ASDA Katsu Curry Stir Fry Sauce (170g)£1.00 70.833333...p GONE FOR MANY MONTHS - DON'T THINK IT'LL WORK.
    ASDA Micro Mallows (13g)95p 50p MORE RECENT BUT GONE BY NOW AND HAD STORES NOT SHOWING LOWEST PRICE OR GONE TO FULL PRICE - MINE SEEM TO HAVE CLEARED AND NOT AROUND - COULD EVEN HAVE GONE BACK TO FULL PRICE. This even though there will probably be one store in a hundred where, judging on experience with another item similar in the past, they will probably still be in two years time.
    Betty Crocker Delights Ultimate Dark Chocolate Cookie Mix (330g)£2.85 £1.50 STILL AROUND BUT NOT MANY STORES, DON'T KNOW CHANCES ON THIS.
    Colman's Chicken Pie Sauce Mix (38g)80p/Any 4 for £2.00 40p until 2/9 These appeared last week - been around for a week - I've just lost them but I only had one regular store with them in the first place* well before they went onto RTC - suspect the collectors will probably still have them somewhere.
    *Other stores have them but I don't visit regularly (just because they are not my nearby store) - if I were doing different store sets, in different areas, like I could before but I can't manage to do these days, I would expect to find them in at least one or two in each set and probably hasn't lost them like my regular store.
    Colman's Fish Pie Sauce Mix (20g)80p/Any 4 for £2.00 40p until 2/9 As above.
    Colman's Steak Pie Sauce Mix (40g)80p/Any 4 for £2.00 40p until 2/9 As above.
    Colman's Vegetable Pie Sauce Mix (35g)80p:question: 40p until 2/9 As above. Is there a glitch on these? These not showing any mbuy online last time I saw them.
    Dr. Oetker Cream of Tartar (6 per pack - 30g)£1.19 50p Ages ago, never seen widely by me anyway - in fact they probably cleared out of my stores before I managed to catch them - eventually found only in one place months on - not seen them since. I've thought these could even reappear and have gone to full price.
    Dr. Oetker Heart Marshmallows White & Pink (100g)£1.50 £1.00 Still around for me but only because my store has no SEL - otherwise these cleared a few months ago. So I think probably not. NB: They are £1 in M as at 27/6.
    Dr. Oetker Wafer Butterflies (9)£1.49 [Strike]£1.23 until 9/9[/Strike] £1.00 Possible they'll have this although whether they will get £1 or £1.23...
    Kellogg's Coco Pops Granola (380g)£2.99 £1.50:eek: Still staying around for me.
    Kingsmill 50/50 Bread Flour (1Kg)£1.35 £1.00:eek: However, Allison until 1/7 should work out much cheaper and even McDougalls 1.25Kg vs M. Kingsmill product moved to RTC shelves in some Ms as final attempt to clear them - probably won't work at that stage. Still around on main aisle of some stores but probably half as many hits as before.
    Nestle Shredded Wheat Multigrain Rye & Quinoa (475g)£1.50 £1.50 until 9/9 First time seen at this RTC was only last week and still around for me now.
    Nestle Shreddies Max Protein - Cranberry & Oat Granola (400g)£2.00 £1.50 until 9/9 Added last week, still around, ought to work.
    Nestle Shreddies Max Protein - Oat Granola (400g)£2.00 £1.50 until 9/9 Added last week, still around, ought to work.
    Paul Hollywood Bran & Coconut Flapjack Mix (435g)£2.09 £1.00 I still have sight of this (don't know that it is still £1 but suspect it is) but only because I have a store that has no SEL. Otherwise, gone from other places for me, seems doubtful now.
    Pot Noodle Chicken & Mushroom Flavour (4x90g)£3.00 £2.00 Very doubtful now. Maintained on here after I lost from all but one store. Stayed there for a bit, having extended its life on the list, but long gone from there now. Haven't seen for ages.


    Those are what I have for each. One "problem" with me having autism is that I often don't easily identify what is and isn't relevant. To me, everything is relevant since everything is useful in some situation or another. This leads to too much detail, through inability to know what to leave in, and also I am a bit of a "hoarder" here as never wanting to get rid of something (especially as, on experience, M might well have it somewhere lingering on months and years afterwards) - of course the moment I chuck something out, someone will then promptly want that document I was hoarding for years before I eventually decided to throw it out - this actually happened with me on something a very long time ago. I kept a document in my draw for years. I never needed it. Eventually I did a clear out and did chuck it out. About two weeks later, I could have done with that document but now didn't have it. Always the way - as such it always tends to get me to keep stuff - and then I never need it.

    Anyway, the point is, with the information above (the bold notes I have written against an extract from my list), folks, you know what is relevant and what isn't which I don't know (or find harder to work out) - perhaps someone can tell me which items I should keep and which to delete? Any views? TIA.

    (I bet someone does have in their M, lingering on years later, some of the items I have not seen for ages that are long gone from all the stores I am visiting.)

    For some things that may be good vs M, there may be possible glitches, on 342 H&B - I think its mainly now on travel minis sets in A, some of which may compare against a 3 for £3 offer in M.

    I have the items that I have found in M on 3 for £3 on the list - some were added only recently as my stores were very bitty before (couldn't find some that were online but I added them from there) - I have a much larger set of items that has now arrived in my stores (may be too new for price comparison?:eek::rotfl:). I've added what I've found in M onto the list, except that I have possibly a further item to add now.

    Separately there's various possibilities on ice cream/lollies. I have seen that the best one is clearly the Magnum if you have double CB available to you.

    I had the Jubbly lollies that Sains has earlier (A £1.50 vs S at £1) but obviously they are outclassed by the Magnum. Looking elsewhere however - none as good as Magnum - I became aware of the TCB offer between my first and last M on Monday. I wasn't going to look for ice creams and lollies in my final M that day as it was not a full complete collection but just a help towards the main one on Wednesday. In the end, it was very simple to see ones that were under £1.50 (most of them straight £1) and there weren't many, so I ended up taking full detals (as far as I had the products in my second store) and a number of lollies and ice creams have made their first and about one week only appearance on the M list before they all get promptly removed and never appear again once this offer ends. Unless a free offer ever comes back, none of them will ever be good again!

    I thought I had a rather excellent list from Monday - and indeed you can currently see lots of new bold lollies/ice creams on the list (for those that for some reason are not bothered with Magnum).

    Myself, I mentioned Jubbly lollies but, in the end, didn't go for them. I did not have any other items for a shop vs Sains. For me, I wanted some ice cream, to replace an entire tub that I managed to get from M earlier in the year at half price. I don't think they were ever that price - just that an incorrect offer card had been produced that many Ms displayed for a short time. That tub was supposed to have lasted until the end of this year, and certainly for the current summer. However, instead of leaving it at my house with my small freezer(:(), I took it to another house to keep in a much larger freezer for me to take back when it became nearer to summer, rather than clogging up my freezer and not being able to put into it items that we needed in the meantime. Unfortunately I was therefore unable to keep tabs on it at every moment and someone decided to consume the entire lot before we even had any summer:mad:. That's right - they were even having it whilst we were having all that snow and bad weather in April! So, for me, an ice cream tub worked out better and I bought a pack of SP Lollies with it. That came to just above £1.50 A price but both price-matched against M and therefore 10% cheaper on both came to slightly lower than £1.50, so I got the ice cream and the lollies pack for a slight profit.

    There are some lollies/ice creams in M and I note if we find one that is at £1.65 (in other words even one that costs more than £1.50 and is bought in M) but has 15p in More points then, if you commit the 15p to spending in M later, that could be in effect "free". Nowhere near as good as the Magnum. I'm just setting out different alternatives/ possibilities. Several of the £1 lollies packs in M now have, according to at least one of my stores, 10p More points on them so, although "not 10% cheaper" does not apply to them if bought in M, that's effectively the same. It depends what you want to do or if you want to spend more than £1.50:eek: on ice cream/lollies but get in effect £1.50 off. It's possible to put a Savers Ice Lollies with a £1 (and 10p more points) product and that's the "over £1.50". However that would still cost money, not make a profit, and there would be no 10% on the Savers lollies (unlike the combo. in A vs M). Or there are individual lollies in M at £1 each in some of the petrol stations. They could be bought and hit over £1.50 - not sure why as they are single lollies and you don't get a pack and not sure how you could put cheapest option above £1.50 (which seems to be add a Savers lollies pack) to them as you couldn't get them on the same receipt to make a single claim to TCB if you're buying the single £1 lolly in the petrol station.

    Savvy. Do ever sleep???

    Yes, 6am till about 12.15pm last time I was here through the early hours. Which hasn't been often of late.

    I'm here half the night(?) it seems this morning:eek:. I think I've posted "all I want to say" (in my posts above) for now, so now's a convenient time for me to leave (for now, will be back of course later:rotfl:) and be up again sometime after 9am:cool:.

    I just mentioned the new ice creams/lollies on the list that you can see in bold. I will be adding what I have for the M points (fwiw), though the current bold items will soon disappear into the list as they were found last time (and of course remain at those prices for potential Avs M part of the list - no change on prices in M). So you have until, probably, sometime this afternoon to see what new ones were added - until I come back to the thread and start to ruin it by resetting the list to non-bold, in order to add Wednesday's items. The Raspberry Screwballs were found at £1 in M (were 80p a while ago there but CB offer wasn't on back then and as it potentially refunds whole of that £1 plus you pay a bit on something else to make over £1.50, it could be seen as better than 80p - i.e. free if whole of £1 is refunded by TCB). However, they didn't compare against M when I last saw them on the APG (several months ago) and I found they were 99p in T yesterday so they didn't make the list - T's price 1p better than M, so Avs T and might miss vs M anyway if collectors still don't have them (although it is now several months later).

    EDIT: Oh - not added all I want to say. I'm mentioning adding M products "for the M points". Therefore buying in M. Just to add also of course I'm aware that TBG will be ending next month - which will mean all items from TBG will be moving to buy in M!:p There may be a period of a few weeks after the abolition of TBG under which I may add a short obsessive note to every item that would have been TBG to say definitely do NOT buy in T on any of those that are higher price in T!

    Bye for now:wave:.
