But what about M? (Apologies if someone did answer me, on a previous day, as I have only caught up with today.)

Confused ! Baxters soups @w's website still showing baxters soups at 4 for £3 but APG says £1.07. Any ideas anyone.:(

It's possible I am confused as well and I may be misunderstanding you - do you mean £1.07 for A or £1.07 for W?

If it is £1.07 for A:
It will be £1.07 each if you bought 4 in A, hoping to compare against W 4 for £3, as A's offer is 5 for £3 therefore buying only 4 will be A full price. However, I hope you bought a Heinz L&B soup with them and actually paid 5 for £3 but had A full price £1.07 (should be vs W 75p each on W's mbuy pricing)?

If it is £1.07 for W:
Has one (or more) of the Baxters soups you bought come back N/A vs W, thus causing any that compare to compare to W at full price? You may have bought a flavour that W doesn't have - if that happens, you'll miss the W mbuy and pick up W full price:(. However, I am confused because the W full price on w.com is £1.10 not £1.07?

The Baxter's soups should 'soon' (in other words wait absolutely ages before shopping in order to have the M prices updated - expect Friday night, could be as late as Saturday - do not shop before then, unless we find out we are on Wednesday's price collection data) be vs M, on any that M has - M straight 75p:). They cannot go with C&B Best of British soups as M stuck on 4 for £3 mbuy on those it seems - so, as you are only allowed four items per shop in order to avoid 5 for £3 A, plus the trigger, it would have to be sticking to C&B Best of British to get 75p M on those (M mbuy) - however T is now better price, on a 3 for... mbuy but nowt else much to go with them as your fourth item.

The Baxter's soups (wait for prices to update before shopping, and it will not happen today) may be able to go with Heinz Five Beanz as M straight 75p Baxter's and straight 60p Five Beanz. Could help those with an odd number of Baxter's coupons - for example 3 Baxter's and one Heinz Five Beanz (plus the Heinz L&B trigger) should work, as long as the Baxter's are comparable, vs M once the prices get updated later on.

Silver Spoon Granulated Sugar 2Kg has been a 'good' comparison for a long time - £1.26 vs 88p M. Expect 88p to change to £1 when the update happens.

Walker's 6 pack crisps (standard and baked and lights, and also oven baked fusions for anyone buying in T:huh::rotfl:) are all off in M, as are Snack-A-Jacks and Kettle Bites. However, Kettle Chips 5x30g appear to have rolled over, as do Tuc Crackers, Jacob's Cheddar and Cheddar bacon Cheese Biscuits.

Quiz time

You wake up in a pitch-black tent on a camping site, and there's no light handy. In your duffel bag there are six black socks and six white ones, all mixed together. You want to pick out a matching pair. What is the smallest number of socks you can take out of the bag and be sure of getting a pair of the same colour?

Wonder how many are getting socks out now..:rotfl:

You say the tent is pitch black, you do not say it is dark, so I would say it is daylight and you can immediately pull out two of the same colour.

Savvybuyer

Oh yes, whilst I am dealing with potential glitch items, many Aussies have now gone to 2 for £5 in M:rotfl:. Obviously will not work yet if M was full price on Monday, which I think it was.

[Strike]Also Head & Shoulders (but are they even still on 3 for 2 in A?) now on £3.50 in M (again, will not work yet if M was full price on Monday as it seems to me to have been). Not as good as 3 for £10 competitor pricing of before.[/Strike] Scrap this one - I am way out of date as T has been 2 for £6 since 22nd November - should be technically better (and better than 3 for £10) vs T's mbuy but may be having to buy sixes or else two comparable H&S to T and a gift set that is individual price £5 in A and on 3 for 2 and on good price on t.com in stock.

My reckoning is three

I agree, 3.

At best the 2nd sock matches the first - so you've only pulled out 2.

At worst the first and second sock are black and white in either order and the 3rd will match one of them.

I had a look on Amazon for pictures, same price of £20 and it does look the business - black one for Eldest son and pink for GF.

Only a 3 month guarantee on Amazon though, must be places with at least a year.

Also reading the reviews though and now I am dithering - thinking maybe oral B version might be better if they do something similar ...

Boots have the Oral B toothbrushes on offer, various price ranges
