    This one Savvy....

    Glade Homemade Biscuit Delight Candle 224g

    Ah! I do know about that in M, but from a few weeks back when they turned out not to be on the 3 for 2 offer in A. I didn't bother looking at the Glade Candles this week in M, only now to find that they are now on the 3 for 2 offer:doh:. There will be no change in the M price though - when I say I didn't look at them, I still caught a glimpse of the row of unchanged prices across the candles but didn't specifically note each version of them down again. Not to worry - we know what they are anyway and the information is on here so I will put them onto the M list. About 197 other tasks to do before I get there:rotfl:.

    ASDA Smartprice Beef Ravioli in Tomato Sauce (400g)36p 39p [Strike]I would be surprised if this picked up M now (it seems, in many places, M no longer has their product).[/Strike] M now has new stock back; however this seems to have not yet reached most stores and the A product is probably currently with M N/A due to the previous stockout in multiple stores. If so, it'll likely take more time before the M price returns on the APG, assuming it has fallen off as I imagine it quite possibly has done so. However, it is mostly academic as it's only a fraction of penny - which may give just a penny more - difference anyway.

    All this, about the situation in M (as far as I have worked it out correctly), and the A product appears to be unavailable on a.com now:rotfl:. It's therefore going to have disappeared from the APG entirely (assuming you can find stock - my As been OOS of it each time I've tried recently). I will just the delete the product from the list now.

    Useful info. though - if the product has really been discontinued in A and is no longer widely available there (except for a can in an odd store that got lost behind something else), we can now go off to M to see if their product has come back into our store yet, although in effect the price has gone up by a few pence:(. (I don't think my stockout in M was a local issue - it was every store I had, across three different regions, except one that maintained a dented can each week - I think many Ms nationwide went OOS of their product for several weeks, but it is now coming back.)

    Should work well for you.

    My surprising shop small last year was my dentist!

    I remember from last year that dentists seem to feature quite a lot on lists...but not so for me this year...there is a rather nice ice cream parlour that has appeared this year so I am hoping we can fit in a chocco delight before it all finishes.....

    It seems to be finishing a week early this year...I'm sure in previous years its been going nearer to christmas,but I guess it goes like that as the calendar dictates.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    Was thinking this morning would I be the only one on a list of not having done an APG for the gift sets. :o

    Just can't get my head around it, been far too long since I did one, and my track record of forgetting to use the bloomin voucher is putting me off...
