Mr M putting up the cost of my A shopping again, or attempting to do so, until such point that the products remain cheapest in M and forced to shop at M but pay the price increase plus 11.11...% more! SP frozen Chicken Breast Fillets 1Kg equivalent up in price, along with Oven Chips now seeing their fourth price increase this year in M going to £1:eek:. However, they have put Savers Chicken Burgers slightly down in price. Savers Peas have gone from 68p to 70p - I doubt there is any way to beat a price collection (hoping that these increases are today or yesterday and not Monday) as SP Peas have been N/A for M for ages. I saw A's price on those going up recently and it caused me to buy multiple packs of M Savers from M in case M put its price up following - well, now they have. Savers Tea Bags (which are non-comparable from A, different pack size) have gone up from 50p to 55p - following A's price increase recently which saw me buying a year's supply from M. SP Washing Up Liquid is highly likely already no good against M having increased in price in M a few weeks ago. It seems some WUL from Poundstretcher is now cheaper as A was only beating that with the 10% against M at cheaper price. Now A is M's old price and M is much more expensive at A's old price - no good!

I think we have missed a glitch on BE Dippers recently. They were on 2 for £2 along with Chicken Fingers and I was going to buy a pack of each from A when getting rid of APGs. When I came to do my shop last weekend, I noticed they had effectively gone up to full price by the mbuy being removed. No hope I thought:(, as now best comp. against M at full price £1.27 meaning the price has now gone up from £1 per unit (buying 2 packs) to 10% off £1.27 is more than £1. Maybe an idea to increase prices in the run up to October before going to "lower" prices. It seemed too late for many of us, including in my main store, as they had already gone to straight £1.50 instore and it seemed I should have bought on the last day of the mbuy. I think we missed it and, even though vs M at 'full' price £1.27, any saving would have been nice.

However I have managed to get my own glitch in my other store, although it has now been ended there with my own CS visit and no hope already for most people I suspect. I was originally due to buy just one pack against M and have to make do with the price increase (Iceland may have them for £1) - I found them with 2 for £2 still on the display, so have gone better than two on a full price comp. vs M at £1.27 each with 2 for £2 and a £2 GC!

I noticed the multibuy missing couple of days ago savvy. But the offer didn't end, they were just taken out of it.

There is still a 2 for £2 birds eye multi on with two other things in it.

Good afternoon everyone:wave:

If anyone has found the single cans of Red Stripe for COS what shop did you find them in please? They are proving to be elusive around here but judging from the state of some of the corner shops I have looked in I don’t think I would want to buy anything from them anyway :eek:

I haven't had any luck yet, but I've only tried Co-ops so far.
