    I see you and DM were passing ships in the night. ;)

    Quite a few varieties of Tassimo discs available on Approved Foods including some of the usually more expensive Costa ones £2.99 pack, most are still long dated. :money:

    http://store.approvedfood.co.uk/search?terms=tassimo&quick=1

    Limited availability, free delivery is only if you spend £55 but last time I ordered I added ground coffee and tea to my order and few other bits and soon reached £55. :eek:

    Another good buy on Approved Foods for those who don't like sweeteners.

    Ubuntu Fairtrade Cola 3 for 99p

    http://store.approvedfood.co.uk/soft_drinks/ubuntu_fairtrade_cola_330_ml-234116-p?pid=234116

    I can recommend this, I have ordered a couple of times previously. It's not far off the real thing. :cool:

    On the other hand I would not recommend the Whole Earth Cola when that is in stock as unfortunately I found out that has a bit of a funny taste. :o

    The Oreo Big Taste bar 300g is reduced in Tesco from £3.00 to £1.50 (still showing £3 price in couple of my locals).

    Dated 13/6/2019.

    Next to these was a gap, with a SEL for Cadbury's Dairy Milk 300g size. If you can find any, they had SEL for £1

    .

    There are a number of other RTCs instore, including chocolate, but it also seems to be the annual clear out so worth checking for gaming, hard drives and other items too - there are various reports on HUKD.

    I saw these just now:

    Galaxy Swirlers shortbread and caramel crunch 175g are RTC £1.05.

    Terrys Orange Minis 125g 78p

    T Finest Swiss 85% Dark 100g 78p

    Thanks Savvy, but asda have 9 flavours in their offer, morries have 3, all different :(

    They have more than that I think - pretty sure they have Winter Veg. and possibly Broccoli & Stilton too.

    This is it, though - after my post just now, it was left for people here to work out what M has:rotfl:. The explanation - there is always one and it is always very long:p - is that I wish I'd looked at these items and at Spaghetti Sausages in M rather than at almost everything else. I don't do glitches! The reason is I saw, last week and still in this week (somehow I've managed to do price collections, of sorts, on Monday and Wednesday this week so have three days to update to try to be up-to-date), Five Beanz and a few others at 60p and thought "No good for straight 10% - if a glitch comes along they'll be online so people will find them anyway". I see that Ravioli is 3 for £2 for M online, which suggests that Spaghetti Sausages, if it is available in M - at one stage, ages ago, it was cleared out but then came back - would also be 3 for £2. As that's more than the 60p price on other items, I took no notice of it in M and just happened to see C&B soups at 4 for £3 there but, again, because more than 60p, I didn't bother to take any details. :(I do everything except glitches, people should know that by now:rotfl:. The C&B soups will be "the same ones as they [M] had last time they made to the list around a year or more ago". Also T went onto a better mbuy at one stage (didn't fit in with 4 for... though:() and that also has made 4 for £3 straight pricing not look very good since.

    But I do believe M has at least one comparable that may be glitchy today from A. If anyone can find any of my old lists, on previous threads, and hope that they happened to be at a time when C&B Best of British were on offer in M...

    As mentioned, I have managed to visit M on Monday and Wednesday for incomplete collections just to try to keep me up-to-date (I had nothing at all due to expire by yesterday although that's not quite what happened and, having got two pages down from earlier days, it has given me a further page to do, though most of that is a list of Cow & Gate fruit pots that weren't noted last time - details now taken from instore for completeness to be added to the list) - people will therefore see my list being updated through to yesterday, with indications as to what has been added and crossed out from Monday's collection and yesterday's - if a bold item says nothing it is from Wednesday 8th August which should well be in the system by now - and it is believed will still be on as, if not, I will be crossing it out and adding a note, as I've already done on most expired things, to say they expired on Monday or on Wednesday (15th) whichever I identified the expiry on. I am hoping to update all of last week and this week by the end of Tuesday - I have odds and ends to add from last week and a few amendments, not a great deal and many have already been made, to be made to the list that come from Monday and yesterday.

    We should already have Monday 13th in the system by now, although Wednesday 15th may or may not yet be. As for buys in M, I am not really too concerned with the dates the items were obtained from - I've added some there from yesterday already without noting that they were from this date - I haven't been complete in my collection dates info. there and, unless they have gone back up in M today, they will be there and straight available at those prices (subject to your store stocking them) regardless of what date the price went on.

    Anyway, the message is the list is largely up-to-date as far as it goes (with lots of new items still yet to be added) with items that have expired Monday or yesterday being already taken off the list and endeavouring to be up-to-date but the odd few may still remain for now, until I get to them, just to try to catch you out. No, they're not there to catch you out - but just be aware the odd few expired may still be there and just the need to double-check, until I have completed the updating by which time the list will already be out-of-date again:wall:, by a day or two, and not much expected to be expiring at the start of next week anyway so should then be largely in date (more due off by Wednesday next week hence hoping to update by then and then find what's changed to try to catch up again).
