Free Kit Kats!
My local supermarket is closing down (Two of them in fact :( ) and they had packs of Kit Kats by the trolley full, down to 59p. I thought they were a bit expensive to say the shop was closing down but stuck two in my basket anyway. Imagine my surprise when I get home to find out they were part of a multi buy offer, and the…

Tesco/Morrisons/Asda (bogof rotation)
This is a habit that I have got into over the past 4 months or so, and it easily saves me £120 per month on my shopping bill. Basicaly the 'big 3' Supermarkets (Tesco, Asda and Morrisons) all have bogofs (buy one get one free) on a range of goods at any one time. In my experience Morrisons is the best, then Tescos followed…

Tesco Clubcard
I have been having problems with my tesco clubcard because everytime i have moved house I have changed my address with no problem but a few years ago I registered for an account online with an old card.

Magazines
I looked into subscriptions for my partners magazines. She has Woman's Own 78p - Woman's Weekly 74p - Woman 78p. The cost for the year if she buys it everyday at Morrison is £117.52. If she buys it by subscription it would cost £166. Therefore it would be totally stupid if she bought by subscription.
