How to keep getting Tesco money off till vouchers??
I had a Tesco £4 off £30 till voucher, spent £39 and got no more till vouchers! Other times you get a series of them!! Is it random or is there a way to keep getting them??
Cheapest Malaria tablets?
Does anyone know where to get the cheapest Malorone tablets (not online). Morrisons are selling them for £2.97 each while Superdrug have them for £2.15. I have to get 37 for going abroad so not relishing the prospect of spending nearly £100! Don't want to end up like Cheryl Cole tho! :D
Tassimo, Krups or others?? Or not bother?
I buy Cappucino sachets, hot choc variants, other brewed and instant coffees. Is it worth splashing out on a pod type drinks maker? Does it work out expensive to replenish pods, availability issues and unique pods to each maker issues?? Argos have the £20 free voucher deal until Sunday, anybody noticed any half priced…
Is the website cheap smells safe please?
My partner has spotted some perfume she likes on a website called " Cheap Smells ". I have not heard of this site so just wondered if it is safe and reliable and whether there should be any problems using PAYPAL as it states you can pay this way. Thank you for your advice in advance
Wild bird seed
'ello all Just bought a wild bird feeder and was wondering where the best value place is to get seed - supermarkets? Robert Dyas? Pet shops? Or some other type of place? Cheers Wings
Republic - Free Delivery until Sunday
Just been onto the Republic site to order a maxi dress I have been coverting for weeks and they are offering Free Delivery on all orders over £50 until Midnight Sunday. This offer covers Standard (2-3 days I think) and Next Day delivery, at the checkout the option defaults to Standard, but just click Next Day and you…
Getting a discount over the phone?
Basically, i want to get some new polo t'shirts, to be specific; several Lyle & Scott polos in a variety of colours. So, I was just wondering, if I was to phone the company/ email them in a friendly manner, asking if it is possible to get a slight discount of say 10% as i am buying directly from them as well as buying…

Henry Hoover spare part?
I've had a Henry 'hound' for about the last 6 years or so, but I came to use it yesterday and the hose part keeps coming out of the hoover, it looks like a part of the green tube has broken off (see photo). It's very annoying as you cannot pull the hoover along when using it as it keeps coming out. I tried super glueing it…
"Turners" chocolate mis-shapes
These are the chocolates sold at Iceland in a dark brown bag and with writing meant to remind you of Thorntons. This is only my opinion, but they are quite vile. You wouldn't give 50p for them if they were in a plastic see-through wrapper, so my money saving tip is to keep your £1 in your purse.

Having tried all 3 I still get nowhere. The 'find' results in "page cannot be found"…

£6 bras in Asda for the well endowed :D
Just have to say I went in Asda the other day and went down the underwear aisle. I saw bras for £6 and they went up to J cup! I was happy, I'm not quite a J, but I found a bra that fit me really well, and it was cheap! It wasn't even ugly looking, it was purple and the straps were so much thinner than I'm used to and gives…

Save money at Ikea AND do your bit to help kids in developing countries
Ikea have reduced the price of their Sunnan lamp (was £17.99, now £14.99). But arguably the best thing about this is that if you buy one, they will donate one to a child in the developing world so they can do their homework after dark even if they don't have electricity :T The Sunnan price is actually one of thousands they…
Any good deals for printers?
Mine has just given up the ghost and I really need a printer for my college course. I find it a bit overwhelming trying to find the best deals on any electrical item, so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful:) I need to buy the printer, colour cartridges and paper.
