They look fabulous, it is a shame we cannot pay with APG or points!

:D:D:D

Probably already common knowledge to everyone except myself (until now) - the Nik Naks Variety multipack is NOT a trigger, on account of the fact that it is not in the 3 for £3 mbuy (at least in my A it is not). I therefore replaced it with the Walkers Ketchup Crisps, which I don't really like. However, they'll probably be okay as they are crisps and crisps are crisps so I probably will like them or :idea:I can take them to use at some Christmas Party and they will always like them there.

I was under the impression that the Niks Naks were a trigger as someone bought some on a shop earlier that suggested they were a visible trigger - however it seems the Ketchup crisps were used instead. As far as I now know, the only trigger is the Ketchup crisps, the ones that I found several weeks ago:p. This is unless I am mistaken and someone else posted it, in which case my sincere apologies to the actual OP.

It seems it was a false alarm on the Palmolives in M - I now think they are remaining at full price and unfortunately what I think are correct SELs in my second store have therefore moved me to what I now believe to be the correct price, which is full price. However, as can be seen from my earlier post, I had a store with the offer prices still showing and it would probably only take another couple of stores like that and the price collectors could still get the offer price - they have been going all sorts of different ways on items recently, some of them seemingly correctly and some of them seemingly incorrectly, although the chances are most stores have full price as that is what (I believe) the correct prices are.

I think the Selection Boxes offers were due to have expired and should have expired in M today - however it seems the offer has been extended a little, possibly as Mr T has its on offer until 23rd November, as at least one of them - the Santa Selection box 169g - which it seems Mr T does not have - is still £1. As far as m.com is concerned, the selection boxes are now showing £2 full price but the website also has an advertisement that says they are £1. I still had offer label of £1 in one store, that conflicted with £2 now being displayed at the entrance of my other store, and I have had the 169g selection box that I had scanned and it is £1 (in the store that is showing £1). However...

I think it is more likely that the selection boxes are currently comparing against M at £1 and are likely to change to incorrect £2 once today's collection reaches the system in a day or two's time. Although I saw the selection boxes picking up £2 price for M, I think that was before the current collection got into the system. On the day for that, the prices showing, at least for me, were more clearly £1 in M. I think today is likely to be going to see several stores showing £2 price, perhaps having changed last night in time for when the price was due to go up to £2 today and they might change back to £1 late, tomorrow, and miss the price collection, and also the shelves of my store that has the £1 is frankly in a mess over that and does not have the full range.

Of course I am waiting for them to be 50p after Christmas - and I've concluded that, even at that RTC price later on, post-season, the small numbers of products in some of these boxes and the amount you get (or rather don't get) for that price makes them still quite an expensive way of buying chocolate or a very good way to sell to the general public an item at higher price for really not many bars of chocolate simply because it has Santa or Christmas labelling on it.

Anyway, I have what I have from today, which is half a single side of updating plus two sides of items most of them remaining at the same price as before but will have to be ticked and crossed off for the few that are not, I hardly work efficiently but, having checked wider than what I should in the first place, I have done the full proper lot now, as best I can with what my store tonight has. I haven't seen some items therefore, although I do at least have another version of what may be a new item (need to check if A still sells the blighters:rotfl:) on offer that I suspected would also be on the offer (my earlier store only had one version and not both but the second at least has filled in the other version for me with confirmation of that).

Is that one they got on 'reduced to clear'? No good vs M at £1.50 when buying on reduction - is there anywhere that it is N/A against?

I will be moving the BE Chicken Quarter Pounders to straight £1 for M, if that's okay with everyone (and will still be doing so even if it's not), as that's what I now believe they are in M.

My Christmas list is not looking good - pan set went up in price this morning so Ive been looking all over again.

Also last night I found for Eldest child a thick acacia chopping board with 2 drawers underneath - it went out of stock this afternoon and I cant find anything similar ...:mad:
