    I am going to separate this off as it may otherwise have been missed/unnoticed.

    3Dogs!

    The VO5s were and are no longer on 3Dogs' list and, although my A still has them in the display in the "3 for 2" aisle, it no longer has 3 for 2 showing on the shelving for them. It did have before - and, therefore, in a similar situation to the Original Sources, I now think they are no longer on the offer. My M list was out of date and I have now deleted them.

    3Dogs' list is also out of date. First, the Lynx shower gels are now off as A has reduced its price to £1 on them:(.

    Second, the list says that the Dove Handwash is now on a reduced price in M. However, it is not on a reduced price in M - there has been no change in price there but instead this was a glitch on Monday's price collection picking up incorrect pricing for M, at least on the original version, probably of 2 for £1.80 mbuy from some other product. It does not work from Wednesday's data and this glitch is now over:

    Today's comp. vs M:
    1x Dove Supreme Fine Silk Beauty Cream Hand Wash (250ml) £1.50 £1.00
    2x Dove Original Beauty Cream Hand Wash (250ml) £3.00 £2.00

    I suspected this was going to be the case and, indeed, it is. I was not unhappy with £1 price for M, although hoping for 2 for £1.80 (I suspect Silk would have given £1 even if the glitch had been on here as I think the £1.80 price on the list on the other Dove is not 90p each but is 2 for £1.80 mbuy and three total were bought but I was not going to buy six). I ended up with 3x £1.10 S:(.

    Fwiw, the SP Processed Peas tins, that were slightly glitching probably against Garden peas tin vs M, have now corrected from 21p M to 25p M. I ended up with same price vs S anyway:(.

    3Dogs is doing an excellent job trying to keep up, whilst I am being sent round from Antibac Wipes to Lemon Wipes to Antibac and then back again to Lemon due to stores putting their prices up, down, back up and back down on them:mad::rotfl:.

    Thank you for posting that - I have a few shops meticulously planned for tomorrow and one of them is an Aussie shop and had the dove hand wash on it. I have now removed it!

  • Good evening elite, I’m not a regular poster but I am going to start trying to, here is my diary of the day:

    £5.02 from two receipts in apg one receipt was found in a SAINSBOBS car park which was crazy, no luck with finding any nectar points, all claimed unfortunately.

    Found a boots receipt that had been validated so it will be nice and easy with no questions asked to put on my card, the points value was £10.00 which will work well for the 70% off.

    Found receipts from all different stores to use on all the apps, so that’s always a bonus.

    I always hit the reduced to clear right on a Sunday (after years of going you know the drill) various bit and pieces for 10p and I have started buying the veg reduced for Xmas day so I’m nice and prepped.

    Two free pizzas from Pizza Hut, has anyone else done this today? It’s on till Thursday and it’s a breeze to do if anyone wants to know how,

    Got the coins and cards from WHSmith, although annoyingly on self scan you now need a supervisor to override the key in code which is something new as I have been doing it fine for the past few months :(

    So a good day for me all in all, good to see these target shops although they do confuse me slightly.

    Cruisers.
    Im on Cunard in a few weeks, never done them before, and unlike P&O, they dont allow your own drinks on board apart from a single bottle of wine.
    The rumrunners, what is the benefit of them over just putting a platic bottle in my suitcase? Or any other tips please?
