    I'm not the one having the hot flushes and in need of cooling down ;)

    If anyone sees a cheap double 4.5 tog duvet please give me a shout. We've put our double one back on but I'm way too hot at night after spending most of the summer under just the duvet cover.

    No comments please DM I do know it might be my age. :eek:

    I have a 4.5 tog duvet on RTC at M today but may be a single - just let me check (may have trouble finding it as it's probably hit and miss as to whether your store, if you have one, has it - won't just be my store but just whatever stores happen to have it from time to time across GB). It looks very cheap price and therefore good - but may be because of a very high reference price that is crossed out.

    Thanks Savvy, Morries is a bit far for me to go but may be worth it if it's a very good price. :)

    Well, I'm obviously organised to cross off the expired items at my first store, but not in my additional items from further stores. I can't see where the 4.5 tog duvet is at the moment - may be on a page I have temporarily misplaced and will turn up when it turns up later. There is 4.5 tog duvet (definite as I remember writing that down), may be £4 (or £5) down from £11 allegedly. Perhaps [this was written before I saw your reply that I've now added in and quoted] just go to M if already going for something else and see if you can find it - household items sections, seasonal section, backs of stores, RTC shelves - could find it anywhere!

    I think it is best not to travel a distance to M as you won't know whether the store you are going to has it or not - likely come back no trace. Whereabouts are you? I can PM you the store (looked like two in stock this lunchtime). I should at that price have snapped it up and bought one - if only I had known - and sent it onto you.

    I think I am looking at a specific part of my pages, thinking I have written it there, but have written it somewhere else on the page and not seeing it.

    Bet you'd find another colour to mine in stock some other M:rotfl:. I certainly can't rule them out having some 4.5 tog double duvet somewhere, some other item that hasn't been available for me in my stores, also on RTC price.

    There we are - may be a single, don't know, can't go behind what the description says - "M 4.5 Tog Anti Allergy Ultrabound King Size Duvet" £5 RTC, BC 5 010251 842996.

    HTH.

    But you've told me you don't have a Morrisons near to you, so no point me posting this:wall:. I don't know what the item at £4 is - obviously something my inadequate stores hadn't got today:rotfl:. The description "Double 4.5 tog duvet" is too vague for me - doesn't give me any details of which specific product this is, which brand name, whether it is own label or whether there is any specific type of double 4.5 tog duvet that I am looking for that is the one allegedly at £4. Someone says the deal doesn't exist (maybe the product wasn't in their M) but someone else says they bought the item so it does and I am none the wiser.

    Someone says they "bought the kingsize one" - which King Size one? Is this Anti Allergy Ultrabound or some other King Size one? (Is there therefore just one, namely Anti Allergy Ultrabound that I have seen, or is there some other King Size product elsewhere also at £5? In other words, maybe they didn't buy the "one" as it may be there is not one but there may be two or three, or more, different ones available elsewhere, including Anti Allergy Ultrabound.)

    It is not detailed enough for me, whereas most people just go down to M and any 4.5 tog double duvet that they see is good enough for them:rotfl:. As was the Anti Allergy Ultrabound version whose £5 price was good enough for me to take. I only have the BC because it's another RTC item and M seem to keep bringing different versions of products, sometimes with the same description, in and I'm never sure whether the one I originally saw has then gone back to full price or whether it is a new version that has come in at full price whilst the RTC version is in diminishing stock then somewhere else but continuing on RTC. This will stop me going wrongly to full price and deleting the item when it's still available somewhere if a new product of identical description comes into one of my stores, not that I will still be visiting M for this in the future:rotfl:.

    Perhaps the person that thinks the deal on the £4 "one" (or maybe more, who knows?) doesn't exist saw a different 4.5 Tog double duvet in their M at full price, or saw a full price or some other SEL on one when it was really RTC price, who knows or indeed can ever tell?

    Thanks savvy, that's really helpful. x

    I can always ring the store that is closest to me if I decide the trip is worthwhile.
