Blinking wasps are out in force - minus one who decided to attack and sting me, so that is the end of him .

For your information:

Hopeless - the Max Granola clearly is in M at £1.50 and it looks like A has put its price up too:(. They didn't pick up the Bubblegum Lollies either, although they are the same volume in A and M but M uses their weight instead on the SELs:(. I am being too good at linking A and M products up - although I can talk as I lost the Mission Deli Wraps in M several weeks ago:rotfl:. Better price in T anyway now (and could have gone up to full price in M before vanishing completely for me as I had no SELs last time I did have them).

To be fair though, I am picking on the 'dodgy' things here and I've seen quite a number of items recently on the APG that have picked up M and at what I believe to be the correct price. They had even started to pick up the 4 Spiral Scourers vs M's Steel Scourers at £1 in M; however Home Bargains (seemingly intermittently of late at my specific store) has a 3 pack at 39p. However the 6 pack toilet rolls had also gone back to comparing against M at double size £2:( - although that was a couple of weeks ago (a womble turning up late but not too late in the day) and I hope they have dropped off again. M now has an 18:eek: pack that works out cheaper than A's straight price on other pack sizes, given that T went OOS and no longer offers a comparable version so 10% off same price has been lost for non-discount card users:mad:. So in general the APG does work as we won't be buying anything silly like toilet rolls in A anyway and, folks, don't let this make you think M is more risky than it is.

Not the Dolmio 500g sauces though:(. They were picking up M at £1 earlier in the week but are now (obviously from last Wednesday's collection) picking up M at £1.78:(:(. I was liking them as they keep on buying them, at 2 for £2.50:wall: in A, but that was still helping as the mbuy price was more expensive than the straight £1. Unfortunately, they are continuing to buy them - always unnecessary 2 for £1.50:wall::mad: rather than just one at full price, or what should be unnecessary (as they insist on buying them before their last day) had M continued to be picked up at £1 - I am no longer liking them anymore and it is not helping at £1.25 vs £1.78 each:(.

We have loads of wasps and ants .

The ant powder seems to work for a bit.

We may have to take on the wasps nesting in the garden :eek:.

We have left them up to now as they weren't bothering us - but both me and Mrs Anon have been stung this week and Little Anons go out in the garden (when we can get them off computers/iPads).
