    Also if anyone has bought Cow and Gate rice cakes for Q clciksnap this weekend when you get your activity confirmed check the amount as they are only awarding 66p - the rice cakes were on offer for 66p but now they are £1 :(

    I've just emailed Q with my receipt ID number to get the amount altered.
    On COS it just says free so its worded slightly differently than Q so there should be no issues there, just on Q.

    I cant find the breadsticks in either of our Asdas :(

    £3 C0sta, £5 Gweggs and £3 Mands today :).

    Drat - I was looking last night to try and find slightly unusual gins £15 and under in Waitrose (to make use of a conditional spend) with little success but then I've just noticed this

    https://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda-compare-prices/Spirits/Brecon_Special_Reserve_Gin_700ml.html

    £15 or £15.99 on Amazon if it costs more than 99p in petrol to get to waitrose :D

    We used to share the massive lattes in Costa between us - cups too big for me to hold with my dodgy wrist :)

    Fabulous womble Elaine, well done :T

    I found one for about £25 around this time last year. I was nervous about spending it but other than a “ooh that’s a big one” type comment from the cashier it was fine.
