was wondering if we could find a way of identifying ourselves 
cos last night when i was on the tills i found myself nearly asking people if they use this board........
think the giveaways are the bottles of white vinegar, tubs of bicarb and last night i noticed a few packets of good old fashioned dishcloths
so what would the design of the badge be if we got one? a slow cooker? pile of money off coupons?

Couldn't justify the expenditure on a badge unless Martin was willing to give them away???? MFW 2015 #41 = £20,515/£20,515
MFW 2014 #41 = £26,100/£25,000
MFW 2013 #41 = £10,000/£10,000

In real old fashioned style ....
... just a Pin on your lapel (why waste more by adding the badge to the pin??? Would also represent pin money savings )
Speaking of which, because I used cotton nappies for my dk's I would also pin the nappy pin on my clothing during changes or "airing" their bums. At one point I had a chain of 6 pins dangling from my top! I even had spares pinned to my shoulder bag - looked a right numpty when I went out one night an forgot to take them off!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe a badge with 'I am a tight !!!!!!' on it. This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

so when i see people with a basket full of reduced bread, white vinegar and dishcloths should i just ask them if they are a tightarse then? rather than my usual polite - oh you have come in at the right time for the bargains then :rotfl:five children? I must be mad........ :rotfl:

Does anyone remember when 'bodies' were in fashion, those all in ones that used to fasten underneath with poppers. I had one that would never stay done up and used to use a nappy pin to keep it in place. It was okay when I was sober but I had a few unpleasant accidents after I'd had a few
I like the pin idea too, I've already found one person on these boards from my area Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
