    I don't know if anyone tried the Quorn Balls - people probably stuck to the other three products vs M, although the Quorn Balls should work. I don't know if people got scared off by my earlier perhaps sounding caution for them? I was honestly going to try one of the Quorn Balls on my final shop tonight. I was going between "shall I try them and why not just stick to the others as you know those will work?" - of course, I then thought "go on, try them" and looked for them in the store freezer and... no Quorn Balls. So, I ended up not have them available to try even if I had wanted. I had seen some in the store earlier in the day (I had to go back:( because I was so concentrating on Quorn and Easter eggs that I completely forgot to include milk in the shop, which I actually needed:o - so, I ended up doing another shop, but was able to get more Quorn). However, no Quorn Balls by later in the day - I obviously tried to preserve the Quorn Fillets in the store by mixing them behind the others, and that was successful, but the Quorn Balls - I wanted the others anyway mainly - got away.

    It'd be typical if they didn't work and turned up on a womble telling us after the event - no surprise they should be bought by other people in that situation as they always buy the wrong thing.

    Vs M
    2x Quorn Meat Free Pieces (300g) £3.80 £2.00
    1x Quorn Meat Free 8 Sausages (336g) £1.90 £1.00
    1x Quorn Meat Free Southern Fried Bites (300g) £1.90 £1.00
    4x Cadbury Curly Wurly Bar (26g) £1.40 £1.00
    1x ASDA Semi Skimmed Milk (6pt) £1.48 £1.50
    1x ASDA Smart Price Wheat Bisks (24x18g) £0.69 £0.70
    1x ASDA Smart Price Sliced Carrots in Water (300g) £0.20 £0.20
    1x ASDA Smart Price Cooked Ham Slices (400g) £1.49 £1.50

    I miscalculated a bit as, when I did a shop to get the milk, I was thinking I'd be paying £1.50 for it - concentrating so much on the competitor price that I was 2p short and had to rejig the shop instore. Curly Wurly still works, as it should, as it is still on 4 for £1 offer as far as I know - it has been 4 for 80p in the past, be typical if it ever goes back to that (probably via straight full price) and make it better than it currently is. It still works but I had to use a version of Cadbury Buttons 14.4g instead of the Chomp as my store has gone OOS - I think my Buttons today are the other one to what I happened to buy a few months back as this one today did pick up the mbuy but the previous ones didn't, so it seems there are two versions (it is so long ago I have completely consumed the previous ones I bought so can't say if they are the same BC or not as I have not kept any record, although I'd imagine they were different) and both of them fail to appear.

    Meanwhile, Black Jacks haven't been comparing against an M mbuy for a few weeks - my understanding is that they are full price in M and no longer on offer.

    Milk chocolate digestive biscuits 300g in T 29p value range, they must be changing the packaging.

    Afternoon peeps.

    Can't see my Easter egg in pending, is that right?
    Same here but I did get email confirmation of receipt. I've tweeted them because a later submission for maltesers showed up almost immediately. TCB are so inconsistent.

    I screenshot the order confirmation screen as well as the nectar offer. It saves faffing about when you get onto live chat

    I am still waiting for the latest points to go on but I will give it another week or so.

    I see that my wifes account and my account both have 1000 points on our next booking as of today. :j :j

    700 here!

    Just posted all my details on twitter for my missing 1000 points, my original transaction didn't show either and my nectar card number is definitely there when I go to checkout.
