    Superdrug the BB creams I got for £2.50 are now down to £1 as if I don't have enough but I didn't have a free gift before. :whistle:

    Only went in for my £2 loo rolls and now have to add £4 to my frocky total. :eek:

    Haha, Oh Tiny, I know I shouldn't laugh, but you're very funny in this challenge! I'm feeling every anxious feeling with you and think you've only bought sensible bargains. Try to live off of £100 for food and drink for this month only, don't count all that wine in your overall total.xx:beer:

    ----> News right, oh no, W now require a purchase before free coffee in some stores :(. Wonders out loud if the free newspaper, free mag (after MyW kicks in) counts - you sometimes have to add something anyway depending on the newspaper to get the price down :D.

    oh drat - have to go and see if this includes my Waitrose as its classed as a little Waitrose
    Ours is en route to a nice little park with a big pond, disused quarry so on Sunday we went via Waitrose, got our nice free coffees and had them at the park with a muesli bars followed by three swift circuits if the pond :)

    Is this with Santander by any chance? We have two ending 1st December and they are offering 0.5%

    No izzey.
    Halifax is dropping to 0.05% soon, so 50p on £1000.00.
    Absolutely crazy.....:(
    All help would be appreciated!

    Email to say Dove minis are instock, but now they are OOS again apparently. :rotfl:

    I got awarded triple points all month as a welcome and quadruple points for b/day bonus - they are a bit early with this, it's not till next week.

    Tiny, you make me smile and I feel loads better about my frugal spend which is technically over-budget at this point in the month. :eek:

    I also dont need to get more BB cream but for £1 and a free gift then i would be seriously tempted - i imagine these will only be found in store rather than online

    :D Glad I am making people smile. :rotfl:

    Trouble is I now realise how much I usually spend without even giving it a second thought. I really did need a new pink bra you know. :rotfl: Not sure about the jumper/skirt outfit now I have had time to think about it. :o

    Still I was good in waities they had one of their huge birthday cake sized cupcakes £4.99 down from £20. And I left it there. In fact I came out empty handed, only went to see if they had the corona. :money:

    I am going to keep my running total, wine is actually only £34.50 of it. :rotfl:

    Lots of RTC's. I got this Philly for 50p and the own brand for 44p

    There was also Paneer, Halloumi, mozzarella......lots of different ones with dates on some well into next year:)

    I'm going back tomorrow to get more for the Christmas cheesecakes:)

    I think so mhoc it's just the extra light shade that are a £1, the Poole store had 1 yesterday but you need 2 for the free gift to be free. ;) I was other side of town for waities this afternoon...
